4. A southerner and a woman.
Unfortunately, black, courageous and liberal. Which to the "moderates" makes her "unelectable".

6. We won't fall for that broadest of shields, "national security", to hide
crimes anymore. We demand accountibility! These people have names.

10. As it is, Rumsfeld dodged the bullet again. A month or so ago
Cynthia had asked him for a report on the wargames, which she never received. He still didn't answer sufficiently.

Also, Dyncorp's trafficking in prostitution was neatly evaded by Rumsfeld too.

From Salon excerpt
http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2002/08/06/dyncorp/

In late June, Salon published a two-part investigation http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2002/06/26/bosnia/index.html into the participation of DynCorp employees in the Bosnian sex-slave trade, based in part on evidence uncovered in the Johnston case. At least 13 DynCorp employees have been sent home from Bosnia -- and at least seven of them fired -- for purchasing women or participating in other prostitution-related activities. But despite large amounts of evidence in some cases, none of the DynCorp employees sent home have faced criminal prosecution.


Because of a combination of international treaties, jurisdictional loopholes and bureaucratic confusion, employees of private military companies such as DynCorp can escape prosecution for crimes they commit overseas. Most common crimes committed outside the United States are beyond the jurisdiction of U.S. courts, and the burgeoning local law enforcement systems in war-torn regions such as Bosnia are often insufficient or unwilling to police U.S. contractors.


BTW... Dynacorp was in possession of the strain of Anthrax that was used in the Anthrax attacks, and why did people in the White House go on Cipro on 9/11????

9. I heard about the 3 trillion gone astray about 3 years ago, and it
it is remarkable that there isn't one other person in Congress questioning it.

As to chemtrails
