Very Special Counsel...
Under Attack
"Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald and his investigation of the outing of undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame are under attack by multiple mainstream media organizations acting simultaneously. The reports are - at best - shoddy journalism and at worst a deliberate attempt to bury one of the most powerful political news stories in US history."
"A startling decision on its face. The information on Armitage was hardly new: it had been reported months ago by several news agencies, including Truthout and the New York Daily News. Further, Fitzgerald's investigation/prosecution is hardly dead, as both the Times and Post are well aware. So why the deliberate attempt to kill the story?"
"The threat to the White House posed by Fitzgerald's investigation is abundantly clear, but Fitzgerald threatens another powerful institution in his pursuit of the Plame truth, America's multibillion-dollar commercial news industry. The threat is not abstract or academic, it's quite real. For undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame to have been "outed," someone had to reveal her identity, but someone else had to publish the information. Enter the US Fourth Estate - all rights intact." <more>
I can see clearly now, Ernesto is gone.

Interesting article:
Telephone telepathy - I was just thinking about you
NORWICH (Reuters) - Many people have experienced the phenomenon of receiving a telephone call from someone shortly after thinking about them -- now a scientist says he has proof of what he calls telephone telepathy.
Rupert Sheldrake, whose research is funded by the respected Trinity College, Cambridge, said on Tuesday he had conducted experiments that proved that such precognition existed for telephone calls and even e-mails.
Goodbye Ernesto, hello Florence.

t...thanks...how true.
All I can say is the MSM sucks and the bloggers rule in the world of journalism.. The MSM are beating this Armitage/Special Counsel/the Wilson saga like a dead horse!! I just feel like getting a bull horn and say to them to get their facts straight about the leak case and quit being the lapdog to the Gerbil and do your jobs that you are being paid to do!
Brazile: Democratic Party must acknowledge power of bloggers
In a column in today's edition of Roll Call, Democratic Party insider and former Bill Clinton advisor Donna Brazile urged Democrats to acknowledge the power and influence of bloggers.
While expressing her irritation with harsh criticism of "dinosaur" Democrats from some segments of the blogosphere, Brazile credits younger Dems for "figuring out how to use the Internet" and for the net-roots effect on recent events, particularly the much-publicized primary defeat of Joe Lieberman at the hands of blog darling Ned Lamont.
They're scared. Their lies will be silenced. And those journalist who have stood for the truth will rise. Americans aren't swallowing the lies anymore and are searching for the truth. It is my hope that Novak lives to face charges of treason, right along with those who violated our national security by outing Valerie Plame.
In the midst of all of this mud-slinging and tarnishing of reputations in the media about the CIA Leak case...
For those of us who know how brave, noble, hard-working and honest Fitzie & Team, Valerie and Joe have been in there pursuit of honesty and justice...
Here's a little humor for you:
"Libby was indicted on two counts of obstruction of justice, three counts of perjury, and one count of not being as smart as Karl Rove." --Jon Stewart
"If convicted Libby could face the following penalties: obstruction of justice: 10 years in prison; making false statements: 5 years; perjury: 4 years; going to jail with the name Scooter: priceless." --Tina Fey
"Insiders say that if Karl Rove resigns, President Bush will not function effectively. Wait a minute, all this time he's been functioning effectively?" --David Letterman
"Bush is so exhausted by all these scandals that he is praying for another disaster like a flood or a hurricane so he can kick back and do nothing." --Bill Maher
"What did Scooter Libby say when he bumped into President Bush at the White House? ... Pardon me." --Jay Leno
I had to share this because it made me chuckle! heehee
Yikes! Bloggers!!
Don't worry Fitz, The Voters are gonna make Mass Media and this Admin Shut the hell up in November!
Justice is unstoppable now...
WE THE PEOPLE...
The Solution to 1984 is 1776...

I like the LA Times in California article on the spin of the Plame Blame story. This editorial really nails it!
The Plame Blame Game
No one comes out looking especially good in the Valerie Plame affair
Some supporters of the administration are gloating over the disclosure of Armitage's role, suggesting that it shows Fitzgerald was on a witch hunt. Some are demanding a presidential pardon for Libby. That's premature, and it's worth recalling that Libby is accused of something serious: lying to federal investigators. Still, the latest twists and turns in the Plame-Wilson affair make us wish that we had been right when we observed, almost exactly three years ago, that "no one should count on catching the leaker, at least in a legally airtight manner."
Hallo, justice bloggers
CHINESE MUST BE PAID ON 7TH SEPTEMBER, OR ELSE...
On 7th September 2006, critical payments must be made to official Chinese recipients, which, for impregnable legal and technical reasons, cannot be remitted without the $4.5 trillion payable to Ambassador Leo Wanta and his Virginia-based corporation, being paid out first or at the same time.
Because implementation of the delayed Wanta Settlement will set the precedent for the belated reordering of the United States' chaotic and deveitful official finances, by not only bringing funds onto the balance sheet and triggering colossal tax payments direct to the US Treasury, but also by raising questions as to the whereabouts of the remaining $23.7 trillion of Leo E. Wanta's original funds, the official criminals in the White House, the Federal Reserve and their co-conspirators at prominent US financial institutions, face the following millennial dilemma and temptation:
Shall we renege onpayments to the Chinese in order to avoid having to pay Wanta, or not?
Their dishonourable and criminal intention is to do just that, if they can.
It now transpires that the Chinese "CHIPS" may be 'hollow', which means that all the funds belonging to the Chinese parties, in both camps, may have been diverted or stolen.
Ladies and Gentlemen: If these madmen, who are like bank robbers with nowhere to hide, fail to honour obligations towards both groups of Chinese on 7th September 2006 – calculating that there may be more chance of their skins being saved than if they do the right thing – both groups of Chinese may dump the dollar, which may collapse by at least 50% if matters run out of control as expected; and the world may enter an avoidable hell by courtesy of the Bush II White House.
NEW: WANTA CRISIS UPDATE
The local news station that caters to the state's senators (Sam & Roberts) had something shocking happen last night.
The sportcaster! has a regular Monday night commentary and he reminded people that Ike warned people about the military becoming too big, powerful and controlling. "History repeats itself like the past has shown us."....now, things like this DO NOT get said on this lapdog station.
The tide is turning. People are not stupid. We may not know everything but we know enough to make us wonder if you all realize how much the world now has figured out.
Truth always seems to be the best way to make a statement no matter how bizarre it might sound. Build the case of truth (dots) and the people will come.
Blogger is being a pain...couldn't get on...we'll see if this posts now.
Dream Soldier:

Everybody is wise to that FACT now too...
That's why it seems like the bloggers are reporting stuff unseen...

New York Times David Brooks: A Guide for the Perplexed

David Brooks
New York Times
Here an excerpt:
Perhaps you remember how much this all mattered.
And yet now it has been revealed that the primary leaker was not Rove at all, but Richard Armitage, a former deputy secretary of state. And this news produces no outrage at all. Nothing. A piffle. Perhaps you are wondering how this could happen.
Well, dear reader, there are four things you must remember about your political class. First, there is a big difference between politically useful wrongdoing and politically useless wrongdoing, the core of which is that politically useless wrongdoing is not really wrongdoing at all.
I found this article. This goofball of a reporter is on serious acid. When this case is over, Fitz, please put the phone off the hook if the asswipe Brooks ever hinted an exclusive interview.
Reporters will reveal what outed CIA officer did for agency
John Byrne
Published: Tuesday September 5, 2006
A detailed accounting of the work of CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson -- the outed agent at the center of the CIA leak scandal -- could break open as soon as today in The Nation, according to an individual familiar with the story.
Click
And this too S-Q,
On Chris Matthews' Hardball Monday evening, just moments ago, MSNBC correspondent David Shuster confirmed what RAW STORY first reported in February: that outed CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson was working on Iran at the time she was outed
Hi T:
Ohhhhhhh...not looking good for the guilty, is it? Conspiracy to out a CIA Agent working on security intelligence, during time of "war"!
I believe that is called TREASON!
Hi S-Q
Check this out
Let's Do the Time Warp Again
Watergate cartoon-a modern look
Folks,
Tweety, Schuster, and the MSM are once again asleep at the wheel on new scoop on Ms. Wilson...
Larisa Alexandrovna had beat all of them to the punch with Plame working for Iran story. Larisa reported that in Raw Story on February 2006:
Outed CIA officer was working on Iran, intelligence sources say
According to current and former intelligence officials, Plame Wilson, who worked on the clandestine side of the CIA in the Directorate of Operations as a non-official cover (NOC) officer, was part of an operation tracking distribution and acquisition of weapons of mass destruction technology to and from Iran.
A story late and dollar short for the MSM!
T:
That time warp was funny but so close to the truth! LOL
The Blogger server must be overloaded today! Everyone must be publishing...
It's interesting...from "The Nation" it appears that Valerie worked on Iraq before Iran:
What Valerie Plame Really Did at the CIA
..."In 1997 she returned to CIA headquarters and joined the Counterproliferation Division. (About this time, she moved in with Joseph Wilson; they later married.) She was eventually given a choice: North Korea or Iraq. She selected the latter. Come the spring of 2001, she was in the CPD's modest Iraq branch. But that summer--before 9/11--word came down from the brass: We're ramping up on Iraq. Her unit was expanded and renamed the Joint Task Force on Iraq. Within months of 9/11, the JTFI grew to fifty or so employees. Valerie Wilson was placed in charge of its operations group.
There was great pressure on the JTFI to deliver. Its primary target was Iraqi scientists. JTFI officers, under Wilson's supervision, tracked down relatives, students and associates of Iraqi scientists--in America and abroad--looking for potential sources. They encouraged Iraqi émigrés to visit Iraq and put questions to relatives of interest to the CIA. The JTFI was also handling walk-ins around the world. Increasingly, Iraqi defectors were showing up at Western embassies claiming they had information on Saddam's WMDs. JTFI officers traveled throughout the world to debrief them. Often it would take a JTFI officer only a few minutes to conclude someone was pulling a con. Yet every lead had to be checked."

OMG..now I've heard it all:
Condi uses Civil War to slap Iraq critics
"Secretary of State Rice compared the Iraq war with the American Civil War, telling a magazine that slavery might have lasted longer in this country if the North had decided to end the fight early.
"I'm sure there are people who thought it was a mistake to fight the Civil War to its end and to insist that the emancipation of slaves would hold," Rice said in the new issue of Essence magazine.
"I know there were people who said, 'Why don't we get out of this now, take a peace with the South, but leave the South with slaves?'" Rice said."
Condisleezey has crossed the line with Dumbsfeld!!! Someone needs to b*tch slap those two...

You don't have to worry about Grilfriday not getting put in her place. I'm sure columnist Deborah Mathis will do the honors because Ms. Mathis certainly doesn't like Shug in her job postionh. Mathis did call Condi Bush's parrot! Ms. Mathis will certainly write a column about Shug's latest comments. I look for some interesting comments in the Essence Magazine and mostly likely from African-American journalists.. Maybe there is a hint why Shug has never been invited by Julian Bond to the NAACP events as a guest speaker! LOL!
Nearly 70 percent of recovery workers who responded to the attacks on the World Trade Center have suffered lung problems, and high rates of lung "abnormalities" continue, a new health study released Tuesday shows.
Doctors at Mount Sinai Medical Center, which conducted the study, said the results prove that working in the toxic gray dust at ground zero made many people sick, and some will likely suffer the effects for the rest of their lives.
"There should no longer be any doubt about the health effects of the World Trade Center. Our patients are sick," said Dr. Robin Herbert, co-director of the group that investigated the long-term effects from exposure to dust at the site.
The study, the largest involving health issues linked to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and is to be published Thursday in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, just days before the fifth anniversary of the towers' collapse.
It focused mostly on what has been dubbed "World Trade Center cough," which was little understood immediately after the attacks but has become a chief concern of health experts and advocates. It also found that lung ailments tended to be worst among those who arrived first at the site.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg later said there was still no direct proof that exposure at ground zero caused the illnesses.
"I haven't seen the Mount Sinai study, but I don't believe that you can say specifically a particular problem came from this particular event," Bloomberg said at a separate event to announce the city's own Sept. 11 health initiative.
Findings highlighted by the Mount Sinai study include:
- Almost 70 percent of World Trade Center responders had new or worsened lung symptoms after the attacks.
- Among responders who had no health symptoms before the attacks, 61 percent developed lung symptoms while working on the toxic pile.
- One-third of those tested had abnormal lung function tests.
In lung function tests, responders had abnormalities at a rate double that expected in the general population. Those abnormalities persisted for months and in some cases years after the exposure, the study found.
The findings are based on medical exams conducted between July 2002 and April 2004 on 9,500 ground zero workers, including construction workers, law enforcers, firefighters, transit workers, volunteers and others.
The hospital has been the focal point of New York research on Sept. 11-related illnesses, and thousands have sought treatment there.
The report comes as public concern over the fate of ground zero workers has risen. In a class action lawsuit against the city and its contractors, 8,000 workers and civilians blame Sept. 11 for sinusitis, cancers and other ailments they developed after the attacks.
The doctors were joined by New York politicians who prodded the federal government to extend funding for research and treatment programs. They also charged that environmental officials failed to issue necessary warnings about the health danger.
"Our government was not telling us the truth," said Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y. "The air was not safe to breathe. It was obvious that the air was hard to see through, let alone breathe."
Dr. John Howard, who was appointed by the Bush administration in February to coordinate ground zero health programs, said the findings buttress earlier work done by city researchers.
Gov. George Pataki signed legislation last month that expanded benefits for workers who became sick after toiling at ground zero, but Bloomberg objected to the laws, saying they were unfunded and would cost the city hundreds of millions of dollars.
Bloomberg said the city's plan being unveiled Tuesday would "build on our track record of supporting those who supported us in the months after 9/11," according to an op-ed piece by the mayor in the Daily News.
A House committee plans to hold a hearing on Sept. 11 health issues this week.
The city-run World Trade Center Health Registry is tracking the long-term effects on 71,000 people, including those who lived or worked in lower Manhattan at the time of the attacks and the months of cleanup.
Just last week, New York City health officials issued long-awaited guidelines to help doctors detect and treat Sept. 11-related illnesses - medical advice considered crucial for hundreds of ground zero workers now scattered across the United States.

I look for Ford Company to file bankruptcy very soon and ship their company overseas.. Ford company's sales is plummeting and their stock is in the toilet.. I definitely see Toyota Motor Corp. being move from the #2 spot to #1 spot as the best car company very soon....
If you were all dumb like me, and had to look up names as to who the hell people are---you would be shocked at what connects in some bizarre events or things that jog your memory. There is no way that someone could have known certain things in advance, past events, connections unless that person is what she says.
It is damn creepy and yes, Poppy--you should be lynched. (after a fair trial by your PEERS). Treason doesn't even begin to describe it.
Again I am asking:
Why isn't Armitage's outing of Plame being thought of as doing Cheney's bidding?
He and Cheney were tight when he belonged to the Vulcan's. Doesn't that implicate him in some way as having a 'reason' to be one of the leakers?
Why is he considered so innocent in all of this? He was one of the one's who wanted to go after Saadam Hussein and thus wanting to go to war with Iraq - I don't think what he did was inadvertent.

I want to see the memo that went out from the White House to attack PJF...
I can't take anymore...
But dont foregt...You still have your fans Fitzie and Team!!!
Today, a new excerpt of the book discloses what Valerie Wilson did at the CIA.
Was she merely analyst--as Bob Novak and others have claimed? Was she only a desk-jockey--as Jonah Goldberg of The National Review insisted? No. She was operations chief of the Joint Task Force on Iraq (JTFI), a unit of the Counterproliferation Division of the clandestine Directorate of Operations.
For the two years prior to her outing, Valerie Wilson worked to gather intelligence that would support the Bush White House's assertion that Saddam Hussein's Iraq was loaded with WMDs. This means that Armitage--as well as Karl Rove and Scooter Libby--leaked classified information about a undercover CIA officer whose job it had been to look for evidence of Saddam's WMD programs. Any irony here? During this part of her career, Valerie Wilson traveled overseas to monitor operations she and her staff at JTFI were mounting.

She was operations chief of the Joint Task Force on Iraq (JTFI), a unit of the Counterproliferation Division of the clandestine Directorate of Operations

Why is Congress getting paid? Congress is getting be worthless piece of nothing.. All Congress should be withheld from vacation. Congress comes back from a long vacation. And what is on their agenda, folks? Horse meat!!!!
Republicans in US House will devote this week to banning the eating of horses, or something
This is their legislative priority for the week. Forget about finding Osama or figuring out what the hell to do with Iraq. Forget about astronomical gas prices and the shaky economy. The Republicans who control congress think the most important issue facing Americans this week is horse meat.
Folks, get out and vote November and get rid off the horse meat Congress!

Treason is a dish best served to fascist ideologues.

Shame on the Corporation for answering Bush tax breaks with true appeasement, and spinning the nationalist socialist alter-reality. Shame on Bush enablers in the media who deliver the neocon message like they've got a direct line through Rupert Murdoch to Pinky.

BEN-VENISTE: Isn’t it a fact, Dr. Rice, that the August 6 PDB warned against possible attacks in this country? And I ask you whether you recall the title of that PDB?
RICE: I believe the title was, "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States."
Now, the…
BEN-VENISTE: Thank you.
Now, Shug didn't say that "Bin Laden determined to buy the last can of tuna at Kart's blue light special!"
I hope the ABC producers for the upcoming fakumentary 9/11 this weekend with add that piece of info from Shug rather than rewrite history!

Question (Guest Question by Noise)
Why is Congress AWOL in terms of oversight? How did that happen?
To illustrate my question, I quote Gore Vidal:
...and I had written about Bush that he's like a kind of crazy kid in a dream, and he thinks he's invulnerable, and he's marching along through a dry forest, and he's lighting matches, dropping them, watching the fires, dropping another one. Link
And Congress watches and applauds. WTF?

Eloped on the holiday-it was his idea heehe----------
Teak, Congress under NSA and W. The thing that surprises me the most about politicians after meeting so many is their lack of knowledge about what their job description is supposed to be.
The progressive ones now running for office I have met-don't seem to have that affliction and are willing to work.
Chimpcoulter,
I know there's still 30% of folks that still believe what MSM spits out but the polls show that the odds are with us that 68% of Americans no longer believe the BS being touted out there...
So MSM can yell at the top of their voice all the lies they want but nobody is listening anymore...
There's too much bad blood and the Anger vote that threw out the democrats in the 90s is now brewed for BOTH.
The word on the street is vote for anyone but the Incumbent.
No need to pay attention to MSM lies anymore...
Don't worry folks, you won't miss the ticker spewing terror 24/7.

People are really dumb imho...
They knew Bin Laden was planning to attack and they not only let it occur, but used it to their advantage to eventually link Iraq(Their initial goal) to Al-Queda. No matter all contrary intelligence to the facts on hand.
Then they used 911 to pass the patriot act and other laws which basically made them unaccountable, above the law, and turned the republic into a Despotic Nation State about to be turned over to the North American Union planning and the NWO plan.
No matter what they spin to the contrary, the facts on the ground support my assesement more than their denials and talk about more and more security.

To restore my soul again.

When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
When I look in my father's eyes.

Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies.
And as I watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.

Fury as academics claim 9/11 was 'inside job -UK Daily Mail
The 9/11 terrorist attack on America which left almost 3,000 people dead was an "inside job", according to a group of leading academics.
Around 75 top professors and leading scientists believe the attacks were puppeteered by war mongers in the White House to justify the invasion and the occupation of oil-rich Arab countries.

An increasing number of Republicans, ranging from former conservative Congressman Joe Scarborough to former President George H.W. Bush, worry that President George W. Bush's tenuous hold on reality is slipping away and the leader of the free world may be sliding into a full-fledged mental breakdown.
Scarborough sounded the warning recently when he devoted an episode of his MSNBC talk show to the topic "Is Bush an Idiot?" Other published reports say Bush's own father is worried about his son's mental state. Psychiatrists who have observed Bush during his presidency share this concern.

Why not attack Fitz it's better then admitting that Libby is guilty. Prosecutors are always attacked when they have a slam duck case. Karl Rove is all so in hot water. The media dropped the ball and ABC is employed by the GOP so Jason is the only reporter who wrote the truth along time ago. The White House isn't as smart as they think they are. If they had taken just a little time to get a good educated attorney and not just keep stealing from the US Treasury this story might be different. The White House should advertise in all the news papers and on the media for an education smart attorney because as of today they have none.
A New York Times report suggested that President Bush had willingly spent Labor Day away from political campaigning while visiting a union facility in Maryland. However, The Washington Post reported that two Republican candidates in Maryland, Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich and Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele, had declined to attend the event with Bush.

In FL today we had our Primary Elections and I was surprised to see more in line than ever before here in my small town as there were really few issues on the ballot other than US Sen., Gov. and some Judgeships.
My hope is tenuous however...maybe they were all voting for any old Repub at all again.
There were regrets that as a Dem I could not vote against Hot Pants Harris but her easy win will guaruntee more laughs from her clown-ops campaign and the continuing embarressment of her party over their fallen "HERO" of 2000.
Hello everyone,
Very busy day for me:
Night Owl:
It is a bit disturbing that the Congress would come back from a long vacation to have on their agenda a bill for horse slaughtering!! Congress is really really making waking up the American people to see what Congress thinks about the American people's concerns.. I love horses but horse slaughtering bill is the best that Congress can do? They certainly could care less about passing the minimum wage.. American people need to put certain Congress people out of business..

Yes the PDB on August 6 is the smoking gun.. But you know as well I do that the Gerbil had a hidden agenda and he choose to ignore that document about OBL attacking the U.S. The Gerbil paid everybody indirectly and directly involved in his blueprint hush money! This was strategized before the Gerbil crawled in the WH and stole the election.. But, everything that the Gerbil has done to manipulate this country and the American people are unfolding.... A rat sooner or later has to come back to the rathole.. And that rodent will sooner or later will be fully exposed...

Bin Laden Gets a Pass from Pakistan
Osama bin Laden, America's most wanted man, will not face capture in Pakistan if he agrees to lead a "peaceful life," Pakistani officials tell ABC News.
The surprising announcement comes as Pakistani army officials announced they were pulling their troops out of the North Waziristan region as part of a "peace deal" with the Taliban.
Let's recap, folks: Bin Laden has been wanted Dead or alive by the Gerbil for 5 years for the 9/11 attack. And now Bin Laden gets a freedom pass from Pakistan if he agrees to lead a "peaceful life." The 9/11 families and victims will be less than positive to hear! this...

SPB--There is a horse slaughtering plant in Hastert's district. The rubarb got started after the BLM and some Lakota (Sioux) Indians sold wild Mustangs to a buyer and then the buyer resold the horses to the slaughterhouse at a major profit. Selling old horses so Europeans can eat what they want is one thing but people went completely bonkers angry because of the wild horses.
Somebody (or somebodies) burned down the slaughterhouse in Hastert's district once but it got rebuilt.
A win for the horses is a loss for Hastert, if that makes you feel any better, SPB. ;-)

Media Misses the Point
On C.I.A. Leak Story
By Joe Conason
To observe the Washington press corps is to wonder why so many people who don’t remember what happened yesterday and can’t master basic logic are expected to analyze politics and policy. The latest developments in the Valerie Plame Wilson case—as revealed in Hubris, a new book by Michael Isikoff and David Corn—proved once more that the simplest analysis of facts is beyond the grasp of many of America’s most celebrated journalists.

Ex-Gov. Ryan's sentencing day arrives
September 6, 2006
BY MIKE ROBINSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
Former Gov. George Ryan is heading back to court, hoping that the sentence a federal judge imposes for racketeering and fraud stops well short of the eight to 10 years prosecutors are asking.
"Even a sentence of no more than 30 months could take away the last healthy years of his life," defense attorneys said in court papers filed with U.S. District Judge Rebecca R. Pallmeyer.
A packed court was expected Wednesday for something approaching the climax to a drama that has dominated Illinois politics for eight years.
Death penalty opponents who regard the former governor as a hero were expected to squeeze into the benches alongside severe critics as Ryan and his longtime friend, businessman-lobbyist Larry Warner, are sentenced.
Among those expected: the Rev. Scott Willis and his wife, Janet. The death of six of their children in a November 1994 Wisconsin expressway tragedy was the catalyst that helped to set in motion the biggest Illinois political scandal in decades.
Ryan, 72, was convicted April 18 of racketeering conspiracy, mail fraud and other offenses while he was secretary of state from 1991 to 1999 and governor of Illinois for four years after that.
Prosecutors say evidence at the seven-month trial shows he doled big-money contracts and leases out to Warner and other insiders and in return received benefits ranging from Caribbean vacations to a free golf bag.
The husky-voiced former pharmacist from downstate Kankakee, once the most powerful political leader at the Statehouse in Springfield, also used state money and state workers for his campaigns, the government alleged.
And prosecutors contended that Ryan got rid of investigators in the secretary of state's office to hide the flow of payoff money into the Citizens for Ryan campaign fund from the sale of driver's licenses.
Ryan and the soft-spoken, 67-year-old Warner have maintained that nothing they did in connection with leases and contracts was illegal.
Prosecutors argued in advance of the sentencing that Ryan should get between eight and 10 years in prison. They said federal guidelines called for a sentence in that range. But the guidelines are no longer mandatory.
The maximum sentence for racketeering conspiracy alone is 20 years. In addition to that charge, Ryan was convicted of mail fraud, lying to FBI agents, tax fraud and filing false tax returns.
Defense attorneys pleaded for mercy in court papers saying that Ryan had reached an "advanced age" and was plagued by Crohn's disease, diverticulitis and high cholesterol.
They said more than a short term would end up being a life sentence.
"The public shaming that Ryan has endured combined with the impending loss of his pension greatly lessens the need for the court to punish through the sentencing process," Ryan's lawyers said in court papers.
They said Ryan "has been publicly and universally humiliated."
"It is not necessary to impose a life sentence to reflect the seriousness of the offense," they said.
Ryan's campaign manager and chief of staff, Scott Fawell, is currently serving a 6 1/2-year sentence in federal prison for racketeering and other offenses in the secretary of state's office under Ryan.
Prosecutors said anything less for Ryan himself would be unfair.
The Willis tragedy was instrumental in launching the government's eight-year investigation of corruption in the Ryan era.
A heavy steel part broke off of a truck and slid under the Willis' van, which was following, ripped open the gas tank and set it ablaze. Five of the six children were killed immediately and the sixth died hours later.
Investigators found evidence that the truck driver was unqualified to be behind the wheel but had gotten his license through a payoff at the secretary of state's corruption-riddled McCook licensing station.
Federal prosecutors eventually traced thousands of dollars in payoff money to the Citizens for Ryan campaign fund.
The investigation began by focusing on bribes paid for truck drivers licenses but gradually expanded to include a smorgasbord of payoffs, campaign corruption, money laundering, lobbying abuses and cover-ups.
So far, 79 individuals have been charged, 75 convicted and 68 sentenced. Two are fugitives and charges have been dismissed in one case.

PICKARD: Somewhere in that number. I have the exact number, but I don’t know the total.
BEN-VENISTE: And according to the statement that our staff took from you, you said that you would start each meeting discussing either counterterrorism or counterintelligence. At the same time the threat level was going up and was very high. Mr. Watson had come to you and said that the CIA was very concerned that there would be an attack. You said that you told the attorney general this fact repeatedly in these meetings. Is that correct?
PICKARD: I told him at least on two occasions.
BEN-VENISTE: And you told the staff according to this statement that Mr. Ashcroft told you that he did not want to hear about this anymore. Is that correct?

Wolf Blitzer had an interview with Alberto Gonzales a little bit ago, which we won’t pain you with. Gonzales beat his drum right along the Whitehouse talking points and kept insisting that Iraq was a major front in the war on terror, as well as downplayed the importance of actually capturing Osama. Following the interview, Max Cleland came on to give his rebuttal:
Not only did Cleland blast Gonzales, but he also got his digs in against the swiftboaters and what he is doing to help Murtha this fall. Cleland did get some great points across. Now if we could only get the administration to listen to people who actually have been in war.
BLITZER: Do you agree with the attorney general as far as his assessment of the importance or lack thereof, if you will, of Osama bin Laden overall in terms of the war on terror?
MAX CLELAND (D), FORMER GEORGIA SENATOR: I don’t agree with a damn thing the attorney general said. It is al Qaeda, stupid. It is Osama bin Laden and his terrorist cadre that must be killed or captured, period. If we don’t have high government officials in Washington who understand that, we need new high government officials.

Folks, this tells you what type of Administration that we have worked for the American people..
Book: In lead up to war, Bush's temper flared over reporters; Cheney aides mistook watering hole for WMD hiding place
•President Bush was driven by a visceral hatred of Saddam Hussein, which he privately demonstrated in expletive-laden tirades against the Iraqi dictator. In May 2002--months before he asked Congress for authority to attack Saddam-Bush bluntly revealed his ultimate game plan in a candid moment with two aides. When told that reporter Helen Thomas was questioning the need to oust Saddam by force, Bush snapped: "Did you tell her I intend to kick his sorry mother fucking ass all over the Mideast?" In a meeting with congressional leaders, the President angrily thrust his middle finger inches in front of the face of Senator Tom Daschle to illustrate Saddam's attitude toward the United States.
•After the invasion, Dick Cheney's aides desperately sifted through raw intelligence nuggets in search of any evidence that would justify the war. On one occasion they sent the WMD hunters in Iraq a satellite photo that they suspected showed a hiding place for WMDs. But it was only an overhead photo of a watering hole for cows.
And this was the President who ran on family values in his 2004 election. And the Ambien mistaken WMDs for a water hole? Folks, get out a vote in Novemember...
I was waiting for this developing story.. There is another book which has surfaced about the leak case:
Rove withheld crucial CIA leak email for nearly a year, new book reveals
In the new book, Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War, veteran Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff and Nation Washington editor David Corn reveal they obtained a copy of the printed-out email sent by Rove to then-Deputy National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley in July 2003
The printout is dated in November of 2003. Rove's lawyer -- Robert Luskin -- didn't turn the email over to the special prosecutor investigating the outing of a CIA officer until October 2004.
Hubris reveals the email was printed out Nov. 25, 2003 and given to Rove's lawyer by Rove assistant BJ Goergen.
Luskin would later say he overlooked the email, not discovering it until Cooper was held in contempt of court for a second time in October 2004 after refusing to testify about his conversation with Rove.
Luskin turned over the email the day after Cooper was held in contempt. At the time, he said it was missed because the right "search words" weren't used -- an explanation that seems to lose water amidst the new revelations.

But back to our regurlarly scheduled program:
The Armitage Red Herring
The right wants you to believe the Plame scandal is over. It isn't.
Click Source
Daniel Schulman
September 04 , 2006 If you believe the Wall Street Journal's op-ed page, the conservative wing of the blogosphere, or any number of right-wing commentators, the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame has amounted to a non-scandal, a conspiracy theory drummed up for political ends by the left. This owes to the recent disclosure in Newsweek that former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage was the initial and primary source for the now infamous column by Robert Novak that touched off the controversy. Plugging “Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War,” a soon-to-be-released book co-authored by Newsweek's Michael Isikoff and The Nation's David Corn (who was the first to raise the question of whether the Plame leak broke the law), the magazine reported that Armitage, who has a reputation as a gossip, may have inadvertently leaked Plame’s identity to Novak in the course of making chit chat.
In the Journal's interpretation, one shared by like-minded ideologues, this means that: “… the leaker wasn't Karl Rove or Scooter Libby or anyone else in the White House who has been accused of running a conspiracy against Ms. Plame as revenge for her husband Joe Wilson's false accusations against the White House's case for war with Iraq. So what have the last three years been all about anyway? Political opportunism and internal score-settling, among other things.” Not quite. The very significant news about Armitage’s role in all of this is but one strand in a many-tentacled scandal that has led, among other places, to the office of the Vice President and to the President himself. Attempts to portray this news otherwise are just the latest effort by the right to mute the scandal, which has included questioning whether Plame was really covert and not just a Langley office hand.
Corn, for his part, seems somewhat amused that his reporting has been held up to vindicate those who believe the Plame leak was not the act of political retaliation it certainly appears to have been. “White House defenders are chortling,” he writes on his blog. “For some reason, they believe that the news from ‘Hubris’ that Richard Armitage was the original leaker means there was nothing to the CIA leak case.” He goes on to say that the body of evidence that has been unearthed over the years disputes this fact. “Rove's leak (to Robert Novak and Matt Cooper) and Libby's leak (to Judith Miller and Cooper) were part of a campaign to discredit former ambassador Joseph Wilson. That's no conspiracy theory.”
In the spring of 2003, as details emerged about a then-unnamed former ambassador who had traveled to Niger to investigate reports that Iraq had sought to buy yellow cake uranium from the African nation and found the claims meritless, there was clearly an unhealthy fixation on Wilson and his wife within the White House — and an effort to run damage control to salvage one of the administration’s key assertions about Iraq’s pursuit of WMDs. The facts are clear: On June 12, 2003, more than a month before Novak's column, Libby learned of Plame’s identity in a conversation with the vice president. Authorized by the president himself to disclose part of the highly classified National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq in order to defend the administration’s position on Iraq, Libby met with New York Times reporter Judith Miller later that month. According to Libby’s indictment, at least part of their conversation centered on Wilson's Niger trip and Libby suggested to Miller that Wilson’s wife might work for the CIA. When Libby and Miller met again on July 8, they again discussed Wilson’s trip and, possibly to cover his tracks, Libby asked that his comments be attributed to “a former Hill staffer” instead of a “senior administration official.” During this conversation, according to the indictment, Libby was critical of the CIA’s report on the fact-finding mission and again “advised Miller of his belief that Wilson’s wife worked for the CIA.” Three days later, Karl Rove spoke with Time magazine’s Matt Cooper, telling him not to “get too far out on Wilson” and that the Niger trip had been authorized by “Wilson's wife, who apparently works at the agency on WMD issues” – (actually, the trip had been authorized by the CIA, though Plame had suggested her husband, who had contacts in the region, for the job). The following day, the Washington Post’s Walter Pincus, spoke with an administration official who, using similar talking points, also sought to play down the significance of the Niger trip, telling him “that the White House had not paid attention to the former ambassador's CIA-sponsored trip to Niger because it was set up as a boondoggle by his wife, an analyst with the agency working on weapons of mass destruction.” Meanwhile, during this timeframe, the Post has reported that “two top white house officials contacted at least six reporters and disclosed the identity and occupation of Wilson's wife.”
And that just scratches the surface. Now that Armitage’s long-suspected role in the leak has been clarified, one chapter in this convoluted saga has closed. But there’s more to the story.

And that just scratches the surface. Now that Armitage’s long-suspected role in the leak has been clarified, one chapter in this convoluted saga has closed. But there’s more to the story.
--------------------
GEF:
Since Valerie Plame was working on the Iraq WMD Intelligence...and she probably KNEW they didn't have any...
she wanted to prove it before Bush & Co. started this war...
she sent her husband, who she could trust...to confirm it.
It seems to be this 'conspiracy' was definitely a "get even score" for the WH, to cover their butts for what they already knew...there weren't any WMD but they had to have something to stir up the war!! IMHO...of course...
Hey Geezerpower,
Remember that the gerbil is playing to his dumb sheep who can't remember what they or he did yesterday...
However those who can remember know that crying wolf twice is usually NOT a good way to build a reputation for tellin' the truth...
The gerbil is gonna pull out another 911 to get the American people motivated and I think that's exactly what's on ambiens mind.
On a side note:
Nice Blog. I think I'll let it set a spell in my bookmarks... ;)

Fact is that there was nothing wrong with Intelligence Agencies before or during 9/11..
The gerbil admin used the Intelligence agencies as a pawn and blamed them after 9/11 thereby creating his Gestapo type Dept of Homeland Security Agency and FEMA on steroids...
gerbil has further stripped the FBI and the CIA of their powers to give to Dept Homeland Security.
Then he used the CIA again before Iraq and then blamed them after and then outed Plame because their facts didn't jive with what the gerbil admin had in mind....
The fact that the gerbil team kept reiterating a connection between Al-CIA-DUH and Iraq is proof of their intentions...
Now they are racheting up the Iran Hammer because gerbil boy has a religious itch with ahmdinejad(bluto).
I think the gerbil is hearing from his god again....
Although my God is telling me what he's up to is more financial wizardry because Iran is about to open an Oil Bourse that will compete with the Oil/Fed BankCo Dollar Hedgemony...
The Greed Wars are endless folks..
hee hee hee...Obvious to the last!
Oh and btw, How do I know it's about the Iran Oil bourse and not about Nukes....
Well if it was about Nukes the gerbil would've already pounced on Tehran's nuke cooker as soon as Ahmadinejad(bluto) announced that he was enriching uranium..
Question is now what would happen if there's another 911 and/or the gerbil goes ahead and attacks Iran without the blessings of the US citizens ?
That's what's around door no 1 folks...

Tribune staff reporters

Former Gov. George Ryan is expected to learn this afternoon how much prison time he will receive for his conviction on sweeping corruption charges, but the fight to keep him free will be far from over.

Best defence against terrorism is a split with US, say voters
MOST people believe that the Blair Government’s foreign policy has increased significantly the risk of terrorist attacks and now want Britain to distance itself from America and set a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq, according to a poll for The Times.

Fort Minor Remember the Name
(Fitzgerald)
[Intro]
You ready?! Lets go!
Yeah, for those of you that want to know what we're all about
It's like this y'all (c'mon!)
[Chorus - Mike Shinoda]
This is 10% luck,
20% skill,
15% concentrated power of will,
5% pleasure,
50% pain,
And 100% reason to remember the name!
Mike!
(FITZ!)
[Mike]
He doesn't need his name up in lights
He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic (OR THE COURTROOM)
He feels so unlike everybody else, alone
In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him
But fuck em, he knows the code (TRUTH!)
It's not about the salary
It's all about reality and making some noise (TRUTH!)
Makin' the story - makin sure his clique stays up (JUSTICE!)
That means when he puts it down Tak's pickin it up! let's go!
[Tak]
Who the hell is he anyway?
(FITZGERALD!)
He never really talks much
Never concerned with status but still leavin them star struck
Humbled through opportunities given to him despite the fact
That many misjudge him because he makes a livin from writin raps (TRUTH)
Put it together himself, now the picture connects
Never askin for someone's help (help), to get some respect
He's only focused on what he wrote, his will is beyond reach
And now it all unfolds, the skill of an artist (THE SKILL OF THIS PROSECUTOR)
[Ryu]
It's just 20% skill
80% beer (not), Be
a 100% clear cause Ryu is ill
Who would've thought he'd be the one to set the west in flames
And I heard him wreckin with The Crystal Method, "Name Of The Game"
Came back dropped Megadef, took 'em to church
I like bleach man, Ryu had the stupidest verse!
This dude is the truth, now everybody givin him guest spots
His stock's through the roof, I heard he fuckin with S. Dot!
[Chorus - Mike Shinoda]
This is 10% luck,
20% skill,
15% concentrated power of will,
5% pleasure,
50% pain,
And 100% reason to remember the name!
[Ryu]
They call him Ryu The Sick
And he's spittin fire and Mike
Got him out the dryer he's hot
Found him in Fort Minor with Tak
Been a fuckin annihilist porcupine
He's a prick, he's a cock
The type woman want to be with, them rappers hope he get shot
Eight years in the makin, patiently waitin to blow
Now the record with Shinoda's takin over the globe
He's got a partner in crime, his shit is equally dope
You wont believe the kind of shit that comes out of this kid's throat!
Tak!
[Tak]
He's not your everyday on the block
He knows how to work with what he's got
Makin his way to the top
He often thinks its a common artist's name
People keep askin him was it given at birth
Or does it stand for an acronym?
No, he's livin proof, Got him rockin' the booth
He'll get you buzzin quicker than a shot of vodka with juice (juice)
Him and his crew are known around as one of the best
Dedicated to what they do to give a 100%
[Mike]
Forget Mike, Nobody really knows how or why he works so hard
It seems like he's never got time
Because he writes every note and he writes every line
And I've seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind
It's like a design is written in his head every time
Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme
And those motherfuckers he runs with, those kids that he signed?
Ridiculous, without even trying, how do they do it?!
[Chorus - Mike Shinoda]
This is 10% luck,
20% skill,
15% concentrated power of will,
5% pleasure,
50% pain,
And 100% reason to remember the name!
This is 10% luck,
20% skill,
15% concentrated power of will,
5% pleasure,
50% pain,
And 100% reason to remember the name!
[Outro - Mike Shinoda]
Yeah! Fort Minor

Hi T,
You got a troll that came in here with you...
Next time make sure you clear the trolls from your shoes before you come in here...
They're just like bad sticky gum on a hot sidewalk...
;)
S-Q, I had to turn down being on a panel with Hackett since I'll be in DC then boo-hoo
Hi GEF, Yeah, trolls have always "liked" me-before the internet they would just follow me in the hall at school and peek around the corner..its a curse, I tell ya!
The Ambien and the Gerbil doesn't need anger management. Their asses need to be out the door. In the corporate world, people like the Gerbil and Cheney would be served their walking papers.. Both are them are disgrace to the word "lead by example" with potty mouths. And the Gerbil has the nerve to promote education when we are dealing a foul mouthed President.. What come out from his rear end is what comes out of his mouth!
Not on the gun, but the back of my blackberry looks like a cat went loco wild on it!

GEF:
I meant ON your gun! Duh! I said "in"...oh, where are the typo trolls?
So, did the cat do it or did you? LOL

FINALLY...Reuters-Bush admits CIA has held terror suspects
JAG's making you nervous, gerbil? They oughta...
We talk later S-Q! :-)
Biloxi,
I think the 37% that are still backing the gerbil/ambien admin are folks that generally like getting flogged and punished over and over again like a repeating nightmare...
Although if you ask in the street, nobody is a republican anymore..
At least they're not saying they are...
bwahahahahahahaha!
cya s-q,
T,
I think the JAG is just waiting for the gerbil to announce his third and fourth term or if gerbil just decides to go for "dictator" status by calling martial law and suspending the constitution indefinately due to the war on terra(earth).
Then the JAG MPs will be called to arrest some folks..
;)
37% my rear-if anyone still believes that I've got a graph that will show them how there is nearly a 20% variation in polls-same question-different poll takers.
Oh no GEFFY, my boys will get motivated-I just cannot believe how they are so scared to move on this-it will take a short while longer to convince them, "Hey big boy, don't ya wanna be an American HERO"
I wish there were more female JAG's-it would be over by now, heehee
More Conspiracy theories that turn out to be true! DUH...

Tom DeLay’s New Cause: Conservative Takeover Of ‘Dancing With The Stars’
This morning, DeLay officially took up the important cultural/political battle of ABC’s reality show “Dancing with the Stars.” DeLay sent a mass e-mail to his supporters urging them to “help a good friend of mine, country music singer and GOP supporter Sara Evans,” who will be competing in this season’s show.
Sara Evans has been a strong supporter of the Republican Party and represents good American values in the media. From singing at the 2004 Republican Convention to appearing with candidates in the last several election cycles, we have always been able to count on Sara for her support of the things we all believe in.

Darn, I am still miffed that I wasn't picked for Dancing with the Stars.. Maybe the Hammer can help me out with finding a dancing partner since he has so much time on his hands! LOL!

now adays if you even think the word 'terror' they'll lock you up and charge you with a secret precrime and lock you up in a secret prison...
Now that you see that CIA prisons are true, then maybe you'll believe me now..
People need to ask though if this is real, then what else is real that is considered a conspiracy theory now...
I'd say alot of stuff starting with 9/11 and working up from there..
Biloxi,
yeah, repubs are like plague now...
hands off..
Although I still like them, at least some of them can shoot straight enough..
Although I doubt they'll be able to repel that Chinese invasion coming by 2015/2016..

He looks like a sketch that was made years ago, that was quickly called a mistake.
Off the topic,
I heard that Governor Ryan plead for leniency for his sentencing because of his age and health. Well, he wasn't worrying about his age and health when he committed racketeering, conspiracy, and other charges.. And now Ryan's concern about his health? The windbag should have known better before he committed the crime.. If Cunningham can serve his time as his age, what is wrong with Ryan.. And Ryan was sure eating good and taken lavish vacation before he got caught!
GEF:
The repubs are now germs.. But, there are some GOP who are not part of that plague that really feel sorry for.. One bad apple spoiled the whole bunch unfortunately.. I hope the GOPs and the Democrats can change their "I am better than that party" attitude.. It is a bit irritating at times...

Senate votes to continue use of cluster bombs
An amendment to the 2007 defense appropriations bill that would have prevented military funding from paying for cluster munitions failed on the floor of the Senate by a vote of 30-70, RAW STORY has learned.
Prior to the vote on the measure, Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) presented the amendment along with photographs of Iraqi children who have been maimed by cluster munitions that were not tripped by their intended targets.
Also prior to the vote, Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) released a statement about cluster munitions and land mines, which defined a cluster munition as, "a large bomb, rocket or artillery shell that contains hundreds of small submunitions, or individual bomblets."
"In some cases," Leahy explained, "up to 40 percent of the bomblets fail to explode and therefore pose a significant danger to civilians long after conflict has ended. Cluster bombs also expose U.S. military forces to grave danger as they advance in combat through areas containing thousands of unexploded bomblet."
The amendment, written by Feinstein and cosponsored by Leahy had wide support from Democrats though some, including Senators Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), and Mary Landrieu (D-LA) voted to defeat it.

Now the gerbil and ambien are despots with signing statement power and the do nothing gop congress and rubber stamp senate let it happen...
Now those running all have to face the Voter square in the eye in November...
It's gonna be an equal opportunity incumbent hate fest..
Six and a half years is just enough time for us to get to know each other, Georgie! and never you worry about your health, it will be the last thing to kill you in here.

Some of us don't have cable and many states are not covering the Ryan's case.. But, thank you for sharing his Ryan's sentence. I had to go to a website to look for the info... So, the windbag got over 6 years and plus months.. Well, justice has been served.. But, Ryan does need to serve prison. I could care less about his sniffing and snotting about his age and health. Graft is graft!
GEF:
Ryan will need Baretta's parrot in prison. He will need someone to talk to! LOL!

I just missed your comments at 4:46 pm. Fitz needs to put up a new thread.. Both Democrats and GOPS have some cleaning up to do on their party. Both party for so long have acted like the Capulets and the Montegues... The us against them mode... People that I talked who are stanch GOP told me honestly that they will always be GOP but this year they are voting for a change.. You will hear that from a lot of people. It doesn't matter what party that you belong too that you want change in this country. That is waht the GOP corrupted Koolaids are scared about. The Democrats are promitng changed where the majority of the GOP are promoting the same old tired rhetoric....

Mr. Fitzgerald in court today:
Ryan gets 6½ years in prison
September 6, 2006
BY NATASHA KORECKI Federal Courts Reporter
A stoic former Gov. George Ryan was sentenced this afternoon to 6 1/2 years in federal prison for years of corruption while he held state office.
Before U.S. District Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer imposed the sentence, Ryan apologized to voters for his actions.
“They expected better of me,” Ryan said. “I let them down. And for that I apologize. The result deeply pains me. This is the saddest day of my life.”
The date set for Ryan to surrender is Jan. 4.
Ryan, 72, showed no expression when the sentence was handed down. Nor did his wife Lura Lynn, who sat behind him and beside former Gov. Jim Thompson.
Ryan was convicted in April of steering contracts and leases to his pals, including co-defendant Lawrence Warner, while taking gifts, vacations and cash in return. Ryan was also convicted of lying to FBI agents.
The sentence is the exact same length given to Ryan’s former right hand man and protege, Scott Fawell. But Fawell, who testified against Ryan, was just 45 years old when sentenced in 2003.
Pallmeyer said Ryan’s conviction could overshadow what he did in a lifetime of politics.
“For many people, the corruption will eclipse the policy decisions,” the judge said. “That’s one thing Mr. Fawell does not suffer.”
Also in the courtroom was U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, FBI Special-Agent-In-Charge Robert Grant and the Rev. Duane “Scott” Willis and his wife, Janet. The couple lost six of their kids in a 1994 accident linked to a truck driver that had paid bribes to get his commercial driver’s license. That accident led to the Operation Safe Road investigation that snared Ryan and Fawell.
Ryan faced eight to 10 years in prison. His lawyers asked for 30 months, citing his age, his health issues and those of his wife.
Ryan’s family, including his son and five daughters were in the courtroom. They previously sent letters to Pallmeyer asking for leniency.
Thanks SBP, dats funny-they say conservatives are whiners,heehee
I see I was remiss in not asking my prison kids their political affiliation ;-)

I agree with GEF, you'd be good at it (Call me if you need PAC money) heehee
