9/11 ties in perfectly with our countries degradation and loss of freedoms. We need to figure out WTF happened that day. It is no coincidence that someone who helped it to occur is now being touted for promotion.
Our country will never heal until a new investigation that uncovers the truth happens.
This blog ignores this 800 lb gorilla imho. Otherwise it's always entertaining reading.
People are unable to fathom the evils that their fellow man are capable of.
Unprintable, Unsayable, Unameable, Filth, Foul and Injudicious words, and more Filth. I cannot begin to describe how bad a choice this would be, and how much I hate this "thing". Anyone remember how she was part of the Clinton gang, and took everyone imaginable on her "World Tour" on the taxpayers dime, as Sec. of Energy? Gorbachov would be a better choice than this animal.
In the mid-1990's, in the aftermath of Waco there was an opportunity to shut down these thugs and political hacks. Instead they were all given a pass and now, they rear their ugly heads again.
We deserve what ever happens when we choose not to smite them the first time they act outside of the law.
While Gorelick is a big ol' statist idiot and I wouldn't trust her with a burnt-out match, let alone the FBI, I fail to see the "Ruby Ridge/Waco" connection.
The Operative from "Serenity" needs to have a little chat with Ms. Gorelick: "You know, in certain older civilized cultures, when men failed as entirely as you have, they would throw themselves on their swords."
You know, I'm not so sure that Gorelick is the real choice. I think that she's a diversion, a lightening rod designed to take a big hit. She'll go through a lot of rough hearings, fail and then get tossed under the bus by Obambi. Then he nominates someone equally bad, but with a bit less of a public record (or none to speak of) who sails through because no one has the stomach for another huge fight over a minor position.
For Jimmy the Saint: What makes you think she has FAILED? I propose that she has succeeded in doing EXACTLY what her Masters wanted her to do. Which is why she has been selected ONCE AGAIN to work their will.
The Ruby Ridge ref came from the DoJ byebye press release linked in the article.
However, given her rank and brief once she came to DoJ, it is very hard for me to believe that she did not know that Horiuchi was a very good shot, and his claim of a miss when he X'd Vicki Weaver from [insert short distance, especially for a good shooter] was complete bullshit. That shot was worth, at a minimum, an honest grand jury investigation within the standard five-year statute of limitations for felonies, and I have no knowledge of such ever occurring. Her twohander strokejob with Louis in the aftermath makes her an accomplice after the fact in my book.
My Waco point is just that - the coverup. Pretty hard to have rule of law when the "good guys" do what they did in the aftermath of Waco, and it is beyond belief IMHO that old Jamie wasn't in it up to her garters as DAG. I was just coming to the end of my Manhattan DA's investigative prosecutor's gig in the spring of '94 when I met a senior Texas Ranger at a Fed financial crimes course in Glynco. I shared my heartbreak over what I had seen in the drug war with him, and he told me, from the perspective of one of the senior cats selected by Governor Ann Richards to run the Texas state investigation of Waco, that "there's stuff there you will never see."
On a related note, have you read David Hardy's book on Waco? It's superb, in a deliberate "I don't want hype, just the facts" way - highly recommended:
Don't hold your breath... They're all criminals.
ReplyDeleteHeh, WV is "gracce". I take it as applied to me, since it is my comment...
You'd think anyone tied in any way to Waco would have long since been removed, or at least stuck behind a permanent desk.
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show the true nature of the beast.

ReplyDeleteCA,
ReplyDeleteThat link is getting me a "Page Not Found". :(
Well, well, so Obama's nominated a hard core murdering bitch to head the FBI?
ReplyDeleteThat's going to make things much easier, much more black and white.

Any doubt now as to who is pulling Barry's puppet strings?
