Weird that he'd target non-conservatives only, huh?



Remember when Clinton was in office, and the Wall Street Journal was publishing Op Eds pushing books about the "Clinton Body Count"?


Anyone in the "liberal" media pushing books about a bu$hco body count?

1. Why did he make the letter link it to Islam and 911?
Was that also part of something he was testing?

Or was this more evidence of false flag terrorism to steer us into a war based on false pretenses?

2. Glenn Greenwald does an excellent job of exploring that in a column for Salon.

3. Read Glenn Greenwald in Salon today--apparently ABC is sitting on
the biggest news story of the decade--they KNOW who put out the false story that linked Saddam Hussein to the anthrax attacks (claiming the use of bentonite to link them). Their sources came from the SAME lab that Ivins worked at, in Maryland. So government officials pushed a knowingly fraudulent link between 9/11, anthrax, and Iraq--that, combined with the sophomoric "death to America praise allah" letters accompanying the anthrax, makes it pretty clear that the whole thing was by our government, for our government. ABC news won't touch it now.

5. ABC is probably sitting on some
Bushco Talking Points.

6. Why isn't the FBI questioning ABC about its sources during the reporting
about this attack? Someone from the lab fed them false information--OR, they invented the sources, which puts them into hot water.

9. I think this is part of the clean-up 'body sweep' before Cheney
passes the baton. Keep an eye out for more.

12. It makes me wonder about all those OTHER scientists who died mysteriously...
http://www.stevequayle.com/dead_scientists/UpdatedDeadScientists.html

Nope... no story there. Nothing that any investigative journalist would consider worth investigating... heavens no.

10. I'm sure that there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for all this
and that it will turn out that everything is just exactly the way that the media is reporting it.

Sure. That's the ticket.

14. Strange how well this all worked out for Bush/Cheney.
Since they were the ones pedaling the "Saddam has mobile bio labs" story. Very convenient then and very convenient now that the man is dead of his own hand. Kinda funny how these things happen.
