Just how low will a Republican go to win office? This is Bill Conrad from California’s idea of campaigning.

Bad. Very Bad Indeed.

WASHINGTON - A Pentagon probe into the death of Iraqi civilians last November in the Iraqi city of Haditha will show that U.S. Marines “killed innocent civilians in cold blood,” a U.S. lawmaker said Wednesday.

We have our own Nixon, Vietnam, Watergate, and now, our own Mi Lai. I don’t remember asking for a rerun of my teenage years.

Bowing To The Police State

By Ray McGovern

05/17/06 “Tom Paine” — - Is Congress aiding and abetting the creation of a police state? Recently, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., helped to give the CIA and NSA unprecedented police powers. By inserting a provision in the FY07 Intelligence Authorization Act, Hoekstra has undermined the existing statutory limits on involvement in domestic law enforcement. This comes after revelations in January of direct NSA involvement with the Baltimore police in order to “protect” the NSA Headquarters from Quaker protesters.

McGovern, you’ll remember, is the former CIA agent who took Rummy to task last month here in Atlanta for lying about WMD’s in Iraq. Not a pretty picture he’s painting here…

Interesting…

“But I did manage to have a conversation with a source that weekend. The person told me that there was some concern about an intercept that had been picked up. The incident that had gotten everyone’s attention was a conversation between two members of Al Qaida. And they had been talking to one another, supposedly expressing disappointment that the United States had not chosen to retaliate more seriously against what had happened to the Cole. And one Al Qaida operative was overheard saying to the other, ‘Don’t worry; we’re planning something so big now that the U.S. will have to respond.’

Interesting account from the infamous Judith Miller on warnings of 9-11. Sounds legitimate, who knows? Continue reading The 9/11 Story That Got Away

Immigration is cleaver that will destroy the Republican Party. Just check out blood-lust every time a conservative mentions “our borders” or “illegal aliens”.

Do they think we live in Valhalla?

Who gives a shit?

If Bush had half a brain he’d disband the Border-guard and install a moving sidewalk between Nogales and Phoenix, that way we’d have a steady flow of new blood pumping into this country every day.

Da plane! Da plane!

In response to a Judical Watch FOIA request, the government has released film from a security camera located at the Pentagon on 9/11.

This film has been in circulation for years (I have it on several different 9/11 dvds). It was only 1 of 80 films requested by JW, none of the rest have been released, however, JW claims this should silence 9-11 conspiracy nuts.

Doubtful, since this film doesn’t show a plane. Never has. I wrote about this here three years ago, and I don’t see that anything has changed.
