[political-research] Pat Tillman, Yet another Octopus hit?
Sure looks like it: http://www.thenation.com/doc/20051024/zirin "...former NFL star and Army Ranger war hero Pat Tillman, who was killed in Afghanistan last year, believed the US war on Iraq was 'f***ing illegal' and counted Noam Chomsky among his favorite authors ... "Mary and the Tillman family are relentlessly pushing for answers to the questions surrounding Pat's death in Afghanistan. They want to know why it took the Pentagon five weeks to tell them he died in a tragic case of friendly fire ... 'There have been so many discrepancies so far that it's hard to know what to believe,' she said to the Chronicle. 'There are too many murky details.' ... "The problem was that Tillman wouldn't play [the Bush Administration's] game. To the Pentagon's chagrin, he turned down numerous offers to be its recruitment poster child. But when Tillman fell in Afghanistan the wheels once again started to turn. Now the narrative was perfect: 'War hero and football star dies fighting terror.' ... "As for Chomsky ... Mary Tillman says a private meeting was planned between him and Pat after Pat's return--a meeting that never took place, of course. Chomsky confirms this scenario."

Holmgren and Webfairy can go on forever purposely misinterpreting what I wrote and thus trying to get me to waste my time. They just make stuff up, and then say that that's what I meant.

So then what energy makes the next 10 ft of the wing shape ? Ah I see, the entire mass of the remaining 60 ft of wing after having just expended all of its kinetic energy in punching the leading edge through the object, somehow finds a fresh source of kinetic energy and expends all of it to put behind the new leading edge - and widen the hole. And how does the next 10 ft get done ? Well... the remaining 50 ft of wing after expending all of its kinetic energy for the second time, miraculously refreshes it's kinetic energy once more, and puts all of that behind the new leading edge to punch the next 10 ft. And so on. When we're down to the last 10 ft of flimsy wingtip, its somehow still refreshing its kinetic energy and putting it all behind the leading edge. And

Good subject line. I have not followed the discussion, but I know the technique all too well. Holm/Web take a perfectly clear and unambiguous commentary on some scam of theirs. Then they skillfully manage to misunderstand some point and go on and on endlessly ridiculing their own misunderstanding. Then When you attempt to clear up the misunderstanding they manage misunderstand the clarification, no matter how clear and unambiguous your words may be, agaim fulminating and pontificating ad infinitum. These guys are pros, IMHO. Just forget about it and consider yourself in good company.

[political-research] Serendipity: We Have Some Holes in the Plane Stories -- Conclusion
http://www.serendipity.li/wot/reynolds/reynolds.htm We Have Some Holes in the Plane Stories Conclusion By Morgan Reynolds, PhD This is the Conclusion from Dr Morgan Reynolds article We Have Some Holes in the Plane Stories. Thatarticle constitutes PartII of his reply to Jim Hoffman. Dr Reynolds original article is here, Hoffmans critique is here, and PartI of Dr Reynolds reply is here. On 9/11 we had four astonishing, unverified and uninvestigated crashes. The airlines refuse to look at evidence that their planes did not crash as advertised. Wreckage at the four sites was virtually nonexistent and no parts were verified by serial number despite this routine ID method in aircraft accident investigations. Government claims two Boeing 767s disappeared into the twin towers within a 16.5-minute interval, that a Boeing 757 disappeared in the Pentagon, and another 757 crashed in rural Pennsylvania. All vanished through undersized holes. Credulous Americans believed George W. Bush and marched off to war. What fools these mortals be, Shakespeare wrote. At WTC two Boeing 767s allegedly sliced into dense steel walls, steel-concrete floors and a dense steel core without a sound or deceleration and shredded themselves into nothing with virtually all the crumbs retained within the skyscrapers. Despite 767s three-fourths as long and wide as each tower side, both of the planes disappeared without breaking off a tail section, fuselage or wing tips upon impact. These are physically impossible crashes. Airplanes do not exhibit completely different physical behaviors within .05 seconds at a given place. They cannot be invincible and then shatter and crumble without slowing down. Mr. Hoffmans critique of my June 9 article in my interested opinion does virtually no damage to my original analysis of the crashes and demolitions. The virtue of his critique is that it pushed me to think more deeply about the crashes. If the government wanted to prove that specific hi-jacked airliners crashed as advertised, it could show the time-change parts that uniquely identify each aircraft. Government could show the NSA and/or commercial satellite photos of the airliners going about their deadly business that morning. It could show Pentagon videos it is hiding, the flight data recorders, the cockpit voice recorders, and so much more. There is zero chance, of course, of the mass murderers doing anything of the sort because fabricating all this evidence is too risky. There are too many sharp analysts on the internet waiting to pounce. The WTC demolitions are proven and the official 9/11 airliner tales are proven hogwash. This article, the beneficiary of work by many other investigators, proves it. Iawait the replies of Hoffman and other apologists to reestablish the official albeit impossible airliner stories. Iexpect little more than obfuscation. What really happened? Ido not know. What is clear is that the government is lying about the four reported Big Boeing crashes. We might never figure out exactly what happened with these crashes/explosions although every month we advance our knowledge and perhaps one day the mainstream media, Congress or a public prosecutor, seized by a sense of responsibility, will tap this growing body of research, thereby igniting probes that lead to justice. Failing that, 9/11 researchers have already convicted the perpetrators before the bar of history. Disgraced, the murderers will not get away with the crime of the century. Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld live in infamy.
[political-research] Re: new theory from Nico
They found some generic mystery debris. It may be history's first plane crash where one engine landed in New York and the other in Washington. The second hit cartoon planes vanish into the building intact, without exploding, with wings merging into the building instead of breaking off. This is not possibly real. It turns out that Flight Simulator planes vanish exactly like that when Flight Simulator planes hit the World Trade Center. http://thewebfairy.com/911/butterplanes http://thewebfairy.com/911/ghostplane/vanishment The World Trade Center and the World Financial Towers are the only buildings in Flight Simulator that a plane can vanish in one side and emerge on the other. Flight Simulator simulations can be exported into more sophisticated animation programs. The second hit live shots http://thewebfairy.com/911/krash http://thewebfairy.com/911/saltergate are live insertion, no different than flying an imaginary blimp above a football game. The timing of the various cartoons, their size, coloration and approach are all different. They have studied human nature long enough to know the trauma would make people believe whatever explanation they were told. There are even people who were asleep in their bed until woken by explosions, and still they believe they saw the plane. Gerard Holmgren wrote: It’s not really a new theory, just a refinement. You should talk to Nico and WF to get a clearer idea of the exact techniques they are talking about. Some of the finer points are beyond me. But this is it basically. No holography.

July/August 2000 *http://www.nodeception.com/articles/pixel.jsp* The other shots, it is believed were generated with a flight simulator program. I haven’t followed things all the way through to the exact finer points of how the illusion was created, which is why you need to talk to them. But here’s the line of development 2002. WF realizes that the plane is a fake. Thinks it was probably a hologram. 2003 Scott Loughrey and I come on board. Scott thinks it’s a fake video. I am undecided between the two. 2004. The realization that the plane is fake gains popularity but the hologram vs fake video debate is still undecided. Feb 2005. WF and I notice that it is against a still background, which puts an end to the hologram theory. Mid 2005. Marcus Icke produces flight simulator tests which give the same results. This is where I start to lose the finer points of it. Then Nico starts to narrow it down to “bluescreen “ video technology, which I still haven’t got the hang of exactly how it works. I’m really still at the stage that it’s not a real plane, and it’s a fake video, an animation. The finer points you’ll need to discuss with them.

Could you in any way summarise what he is saying then I could put this up onto our nineeleven.co.uk? I always thought there were quite a few cameras pointing towards the Towers when the 2nd plane struck, and that therefore no-one could risk using a fake-video. (we all agree that there is something phoney about the 'merging' into the Tower that happened at 'impact') People have surmised that it was some missile with a 'holographic' image around it somehow. My understanding is that any 'outdoor' hologram would have to be transparent. But, Nico is not here talking about a hologram. He is alleging that (please correct me) 1. a fake film was used to simulate the plane - and I've seen a good 4 different films/pics of this plane approaching, it looks wierdly different in each one; 2. That a gash apperared appeared in the South tower just where the pic showed the 'merging' 3. that a huge explosion billowed out from the building imediately after. - also there are pics of something emerging from the other side of the 2nd tower, as if it were a solid DU-tipped missile that just went straight through. I also heard that someone found a bit of engine a block or two away, that could credibly have come from such a missile (but not a plane) Any thoughts you might have would be most welcome, Yrs in bewilderment, Nick K.

[political-research] Would Ronald Reagan Have Invaded and Occupied Iraq?
Would Ronald Reagan Have Invaded and Occupied Iraq? Absolutely not. Reagan, a true conservative and traditional realist Republican, was highly cautious about using American military power around the globe, especially troops on the ground in hostile territories. Nor would Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon, John F. Kennedy, Dwight D. Eisenhower or any other modern American president I can think of have invaded and occupied Iraq, with the possible exception of neocon/neolib Lyndon Johnson, who was as fully under the thumb of the Israel lobby as is George W. Bush. George W. Bush is the most incompetent and poorly qualified president in American history, and the most destructive. The Iraq War is the worst strategic blunder in the history of American foreign policy. Bush is on the verge of radically compounding this mess by launching a military attack on Iran, under the prodding of Israel and the Israel lobby. The Bush 43 administration is incapable of envisioning the consequences of its actions before it acts, no matter how loudly policy experts point out the obvious. Which potential presidential candidates, according to the rigged agenda of the American mainstream media, most closely fit the Johnson/Bush 43 neocon/neolib profile? Hillary Clinton, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani. Many Democrats, like Hillary Clinton and Joseph Lieberman, are more fanatical on the subject of Israel than even the most besotted Christian Zionists on the farthest right of the political spectrum. If you are not willing and eager to go to war in the Mideast on behalf of Israel, you are not even on the radar of the American mainstream media when it comes to being presidential material. The American mainstream media, driven by hysteria about Israel, are systematically herding Americans towards a self-fulfilling Armageddon. Some key components of the Israel lobby: ADL (Anti-Defamation League), AEI (American Enterprise Institute), AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), AJC (American Jewish Committee), BBI (B'nai B'rith International), Bilderbergers, CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America), Campus Watch, CFR (Council on Foreign Relations), Christian Zionists, CNN, Commentary, CPD (Committee on the Present Danger), CPMAJO (Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations), CSP (Center for Security Policy), DLC (Democratic Leadership Council), DPB (Defense Policy Board), FDD (Foundation for the Defense of Democracies), Forbes billionaires, Forward, Fox News, Free Republic, FrontPage Magazine, Hudson Institute, Jerusalem Post, JINSA (Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs), Manhattan Institute, Middle East Forum, MSNBC, National Review, neoconservatives, neoliberals, New Republic, New York Post, New York Sun, New York Times, NewsMax, NJDC (National Jewish Democratic Council), RJC (Republican Jewish Coalition), Russian Mafia, Russian oligarchs, Simon Wiesenthal Center, Wall Street Journal, Weekly Standard, Washington Post, Washington Times, WINEP (Washington Institute for Near East Policy), WorldNetDaily, WZC (World Zionist Congress), ZOA (Zionist Organization of America) Everything you need to know about the influence and agenda of the Israel lobby has been captured in recent news reports on the 2006 AIPAC conference, which was a non-stop cheerleading rally for an American attack on Iran. Any leading Republican or Democrat who dared to utter a word of disagreement with AIPAC about Iran or any other issue would be immediately targeted for political destruction.

Re: [political-research] Re: new theory from Nico
With a full fuel load, as the 9/11 planes were, most of the mass of the plane is in the wing fuel tanks. The wings aren't going to just snap off like twigs.

[political-research] Bloglines - Iraq Invasion: A Straussian Mistake?
Bloglines user SeanMcBride ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) has sent this item to you. Another Day in the Empire Just another WordPress weblog Iraq Invasion: A Straussian Mistake? By Administrator on Uncategorized In Stuart Rosenbergs classic film, Cool Hand Luke, Strother Martin, playing the Captain of Road Prison 36, tells Luke Jackson, played by Paul Newman: What we have here is failure to communicate. As I read the news this morning, I am reminded of the film and this memorable line. Rupert Cornwell, writing for the Independent, tells us the neo-conservatives who sold the United States on this disastrous war are starting to utter three small words. We were wrong. Cornwell cites the examples of William Buckley, Andrew Sullivan (described as an influential commentator and blogmeister), the patrician conservative columnist George Will, Francis Fukuyama, Zalmay Khalilzad, and the disgusting William Kristol, all who apparently have second thoughts about the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Cornwell seems satisfied these neocon icons, actually little more than common criminals with expensive educations, have admitted they were wrong and have accepted realistic Wilsonianism, in the words of Fukuyama, or as Cornwell pegs it, neo-realism. And if that brings a smile to the face of a certain former US high priest of realism with a pronounced German accent, who can blame him? Cornwell concludes, apparently making reference to the Leo Strauss, the late student of Nietzsche and Martin Heidegger, the former exploited by the Nazis and the latter having collaborated with them directly. Cornwell fails to communicate the essence of the depth and severity of the Straussian neocon plot and instead concentrates on the failure of Iraqand thus, as the hackneyed old saying runs, Cornwell misses the forest for the trees. Regardless of anything Fukuyama has written as of late, the Straussian neocons will not now temper the idealism of the neo-conservative doctrine with an acceptance that some things are not so easy to change, viz., the United States cannot deliver democracy to benighted Arabs and Muslims, as we are told, ad nauseam, Bush wants to do, or wanted to do before reality hit him upside the head. Zalmay Khalilzad warns that the invasion and occupation of Iraq has opened a Pandoras box, spreading conflict, as Cornwell describes it, across the Middle East. In fact, this is precisely what the Straussian neocons wantchaos and conflict spreading like an uncontrollable wild fire, scorching Muslim and Arab culture, eating away at the very societal cohesion of the region, thus leaving it decimated and malleable to reorganization along the lines envisioned by the Straussian neocons and the original architects of the plan, the racist Jabotinskyites in Israel. Cornwell, lost in the forest of corporate media spin and lies, is unable to see the tree planted by these devious Machiavellian co-conspirators. Mr. Cornwell does not bother to take into consideration the trouble brewing over Irans illusory nuclear weapons, simply another pretext for more violence and misery, as a few neocons may step forward and admit mistakes over the invasion and occupation of Iraq while their fellows prepare to repeat those mistakes in Iran. As noted above, the actions of the Straussian neocons, following a well-established pattern, are anything but mistakes. Iran realizes this. The United States may have the power to cause harm and pain but it is also susceptible to harm and pain, Javad Vaeedi, head of Irans National Security Council, declared as the United Nations Security Council was manipulated into place, setting it up for a re-run. So if the United States wishes to choose that path, let the ball roll. Vaeedi was responding to Dick Cheneys threat of meaningful consequences (code words for mass murder and destruction) if Iran continues to refuse to go prostrate. Vaeedi declined to spell out precisely how Tehran would respond to Security Council pressure but experts told Londons Daily Telegraph that Irans options included driving up oil prices, blocking the passage of tankers through the Gulf, stirring more chaos in Iraq, fomenting violence against Israel or promoting terrorist attacks against the West, in short, exercising its only viable options, since there is absolutely no way Iran can match the military prowess of the United States. Of course, in the weeks ahead, Iran will be vilified for attempting to defend itself, as the Iraqis are now vilified (resistance is not only futile, it is the evil handiwork of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi and the ever useful al-Qaeda). It should now be obvious the Straussian neocon plan not only includes an effort to destroy Arab, Persian, and Muslim culture, but American culture as well. The real question is not whether the American military can topple Husseins regime, but whether the American public has the stomach for imperial involvement of a kind we have not known since the

[political-research] Re: More Intentional Misinterpretations From Bilk
Original Message Subject: Crimson faced Bilk runs away to cry - again. Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2006 04:56:58 +1100 From: Gerard Holmgren [EMAIL PROTECTED] For the umpteenth time, Crimson faced Bilk has fled to his hangar to cry big red tears on to his plane shaped pillow and hug his little Boeing for consolation. Which gives us a chance to sum up the latest thrashing by looking at videos of what happens when planes hit things. Here's a video of what happens to wings on a C 130 - during a successful landing mind you. So it's traveling quite slowly compared to the mythical WTC plane, and actually lands as planned. The only thing it does wrong is that it tries to pull up too quickly. This causes it to skew to the side a bit, the fuselage lurches, rolls a bit, one of the wing tips touches the ground and snap ! http://www.alexisparkinn.com/aviation_videos.htm#TEST%20FLIGHTS Play the video entitled C-130 SuperSTOL Test Gone Bad -- An example of what not to do when trying to stop short. And as for the tail. You know -the tail which stayed beautifully intact to smash clean through the building - even after the entire fuselage had destroyed itself against the core? We have a fuselage which effectively no longer exists, and hasn't for quite some time, but somehow, the tail is still attached to it and has no trouble bursting through a wall. Normally a tail is attached to a sleekly engineered construction of continuous metal. In the planehuggers imaginary scenario, it is now attached to something which is distorted and crushed into a wildly variable zig zag shape - that's what happens when approximately straight metal things get squashed. From the link above, here's another video of a hard landing. A successful landing. It's just too hard. The tail breaks off. Play the video called Hard Landing! -- Ever seen an airliner land so hard that the tail breaks off? You have now! (This was an early DC-9/MD-80 certification test. After this demonstration they beefed up the tail section -- for obvious reasons!) As you will note, they strengthened the tail section after this test, but considering that they had previously considered it to be close enough that it was worth testing, it doesn't take much to work out that real aircraft tails are not built to stand up to the stress of having the entire fuselage destroyed - with sufficient strength still in reserve to barge their way through a building. How about this 737 accident? http://www.b737.org.uk/accident_reports.htm 25 May 1982; PP-SMY, 737-200 Adv, 20970/376, Del 4/10/74, VASP; Brasilia, Brazil: The aircraft landed heavily in a rainstorm and broke in two. Not crashed. Landed heavily. How about the recent crash of a C130 into a building in Tehran ? You can see one wing of the plane lying at the foot of the building. If the C130 video isn't enough...how strong are plane wings built? The required engineering standard is that After completing limit load tests (ie the maximum loads likely to be experienced by the aircraft during normal service), progressively greater loads have been applied to the specimen towards the required 1.5 times the limit load. http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:S_JBoYIAq3IJ:www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1579967/posts+Wing+root+break+breakage Lets review. The fuselage is being squashed, crumpled , like a tin can being trodden on, like an accordion being squeezed. But the wings stay attached. Even though the thing that they are attached to effectively doesn't exist any more in any organized form. Destroying the fuselage that the wings are attached to is apparently within the 1.5 times the load of the wings experience during normal service. Since wings roots are attached horizontally to the fuselage which is being crushed, then I really like the idea of the wings retaining their structural integrity when the attachment points turn into a zig zag pattern. But it gets better. The stress being experienced must be a *long way* inside the maximum allowable stress limits. It fact this would have to represent almost negligible load, because despite the newly aquired zig zag shape of the wing roots, there's still enough headroom left in the wings capacity for stress that they can now start sawing through steel columns which are used for helping to hold up the world's largest building - and still be within 1.5 times the stress limits experienced by wings during normal service - remember that aircraft are built such that it's considered OK for them to break above that level. And considering the dimensions of the core, the plane would start smashing itself against the core, when the wing roots are still at least 15 ft outside the building. The tail is also engineered to withstand 1.5 times normal operating load. So I really like the way that after the fuselage has destroyed itself against the core, it's still firmly enough attached to barge its way through a building. In times to come,
[political-research] Bloglines - Ari Berman: Democrats Still Ducking on Iraq
Bloglines user SeanMcBride ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) has sent this item to you. The Huffington Post | Raw Feed The Huffington Post Raw Feed Ari Berman: Democrats Still Ducking on Iraq By Ari Berman on Iraq On the advice of top party consultants, many Democrats in the run-up to the 2006 midterm vote are either ignoring Iraq and shifting to domestic issues (the strategy in the 2002 midterm elections) or supporting the war while criticizing Bush's handling of it (the strategy in the 2004 presidential election). Three years into the conflict most Democrats can finally critique how the Bush Administration misled the American people/mismanaged the Iraqi occupation, but they're unwilling or unable to suggest clearly how the United States should extricate itself from that mess. For now, many prominent Democrats continue to follow the advice of the party's risk-averse consultants and foreign policy intelligentsia--a cautious tack that is unlikely to satisfy voters' desire for change on the crucial issue of the day.

[political-research] Bloglines - Arianna Huffington: Rummy Flunks History
Bloglines user SeanMcBride ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) has sent this item to you. The Huffington Post | Raw Feed The Huffington Post Raw Feed Arianna Huffington: Rummy Flunks History By Arianna Huffington on Iraq Earlier this week, I blogged about the Bush administration's increasingly absurd efforts to spin the war in Iraq, including Don Rumsfeld's attempt to lay the blame for the White House's Iraq troubles at the feet of America's history teachers: "I think the biggest problem we've got in the country is people don't study history anymore. People who go to school in high schools and colleges, they tend to study current events and call it history... There are just too darn few people in our country who study history enough." Readers curious to learn more about the scourge of the high-school history teacher could follow the link we provided to the Department of Defense website to read the rest of the interview. In it, Rumsfeld the historian expounds on the public's across the board disapproval of war. "There's never been a popular war," said Rummy, trying to explain away the president's 60% disapproval rating. "You can't name a popular war. There isn't such a thing." Then, like a gruff professor, he rattled off some quick backup for his claim: Revolutionary War? "George Washington was almost fired." Civil War? "The Civil War was the ugliest thing -- carnage. 10,000, 15,000 people killed in a battle." What about World War II? "Same thing in World War II... Franklin Roosevelt was one of the most hated people in the country and he was President of the United States. He was Commander-in-Chief. He did a terrific job." Wow. No wonder Bush's approval rating is so low. People even disapproved of FDR -- and he was fighting the Big One, the one we had to win, the one that made the world safe for freedom. And he did "a terrific job," as opposed to the hapless job Rummy's boss is doing. Pretty persuasive, Mr. Secretary. Only trouble is, it's completely bogus history. A brief fact check reveals that public support for WW II never slipped below 75 percent, even though more than 200,000 Americans had been killed by mid-1945. As for the public's "hatred" of FDR, the facts tell a very different story: Roosevelt's approval rating during the war never fell below 66%, and his disapproval rating never climbed above 25%. Here's a chart blogger Jonathan Schwarz put together: Jonathan Schwarz And that wasn't Rumsfeld's only historical inaccuracy. He also claimed that, due to the Korean War, "Harry Truman went out of office with 23% popularity in the polls." Not true: in the last poll before he left office, Truman's approval rating was 32%. What's more, his approval rating was just 37% even before the Korean War started (it did, at one point, drop to 22% before rebounding). Thus, Truman lost just 5% overall. By comparison, Bush's Gallup approval just before the invasion of Iraq was 58%, so he'd need to win back 15% of the public to match Truman's numbers. Not going to happen. During his history rant, Rumsfeld suggested, "frankly, journalists ought to do a better job of providing context for what's taking place." I agree. So here's the context for what's taking place: Bush, Rumsfeld, and company misled us into an unnecessary war and have utterly botched the occupation. And the public is finally holding them accountable. So now Rummy is desperately trying to sell the idea that Iraq isn't an unmitigated disaster but rather just part of a historical norm. Even if it means making stuff up. So, in the name of all the history teachers Rummy cast aspersions on, let's give him an "F" as a student of history, and an "A" as a propagandist. Wait ... better make that an "A+"; it looks like Rummy and the gang at the DoD did some extra-credit homework. Soon after I posted about Rummy's "biggest problem" quote and linked to the DoD website, the entire interview suddenly vanished from the site. It's disappeared from the list of recent transcripts, and the page where the interview once was is now completely blank. All part of their reverence for history and truth, no doubt. As Schwarz sums it up: "I guess that, while it's a good thing for people to know history, there's no reason to make it easy for them."

[political-research] Bloglines - emNY Times/em' Kornblut: [N]o one is talking about Jack Abramoff anymore
Bloglines user SeanMcBride ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) has sent this item to you. Media Matters for America Latest Media Matters for America items NY Times' Kornblut: "[N]o one is talking about Jack Abramoff anymore" In Government and Elections Hours after the Associated Press reported that disgraced former Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff told Vanity Fair magazine he had close ties with President Bush and White House senior adviser Karl Rove, New York Times reporter Anne Kornblut said on the March 8 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews: "I would say for the White House, there is one good piece of news, which is no one's talking about Jack Abramoff anymore." Abramoff -- who in early January pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud, and tax evasion -- is at the center of an influence-peddling scandal on Capitol Hill. Kornblut made her comments during a live 5 p.m. ET edition of Hardball as part of a panel discussion on the Dubai Ports World takeover deal: KORNBLUT: What I find so amazing is: Where has -- where has the White House been these last -- what is it now -- two, three weeks? I mean, there is no evidence that they've changed a single mind. If anything, the resistance has only hardened. But I would say for the White House, there is one good piece of news, which is no one's talking about Jack Abramoff anymore. The AP, however, had reported hours earlier that Abramoff, in an interview that will be featured in Vanity Fair's April issue, claimed: "President Bush knew him well enough to joke with him about weightlifting. 'What are you benching, buff guy?' Abramoff said Bush asked him." The AP also reported that "[a]ccording to Vanity Fair, Rove's relationship with Abramoff was deeper" than Rove and the White House had previously acknowledged, and that: "Rove dined several times at Abramoff's former restaurant in Washington [D.C.], Signatures, and was Abramoff's guest in the owner's box of the NCAA basketball playoffs a few years ago, sitting for much of the game at Abramoff's side." The weblog Think Progress linked to the AP article cited above at 11:21 a.m. ET -- nearly six hours before Kornblut's appearance on Hardball. Excerpts of Abramoff's Vanity Fair interview can be viewed here. Neither Matthews nor any of Kornblut's fellow panelists -- including Vanity Fair columnist Christopher Hitchens -- brought up the Vanity Fair interview or the AP article.

Fortunately there are members of the scholars who are interested in uncovering the real truth instead of beating dead political horses.
