EXCERTPT...

Last month, the Department of Justice asked U.S. District Judge William Zloch to end the lawsuit, citing national security and saying the FBI has identified and released all documents responsive to its Sarasota probe.

But in his declaration, Graham, a former chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said those few pages “do not appear to be the full record of the FBI investigation.” He dismissed the government’s assertion that it lacks further documentation as “entirely implausible.”

“On a matter of this magnitude and significance, my expectation is that the FBI would have hundreds or even thousands of pages of documents,” Graham stated.

As evidence that records continue to be withheld, Graham cited a Sept. 16, 2002 FBI report about Sarasota that he was allowed to see after making inquiries at the FBI. That report should have been released, he said, but was not.

Striking is how NONE of this makes into on-air or online via Corporate Owned Media. Come to think of it, I don't think I see it in print, either.

One of the things that gets to me is how even great reporters like Christensen and Summers are afraid to mention researchers like Daniel Hopsicker and Wayne Madsen. They have put their own lives (and reputations) on the line to "go there" where even liberal publications like The Nation and CounterPunch won't.
