Thom Hartman says that Chimpy will announce that Congress will |
|
investigate the fed's handling of Katrina.

The only way they can get away with that whitewash is if the press allows it.

3. I've been struggling with how to go about establishing an "independent",.. |
|
,...citizen commission on government accountability, with teeth,...for quite some time. What would be the various measures to ensure independence, basic knowledge and competence, and the capacity to reach an objective determination?

7. They got an independent counsel to investigate Clinton's penis. |

I think "we the people" need to get into torches and pitchfork mode and demand this.

10. yes, I think so ... they should get some "we the people" help from the |
|
organization put together by the activist 9/11 families ... hopefully, we can get some cross-pollination and benefit from what they went through and how they succeeded against the busheviks

I wonder if they'll try to get Henry Kissinger to investigate this one again?
