[cia-drugs] Cheney's Real Story Emerges- Questions
Has anyone discovered the gauge of the shot #6 #7 #8 or what sort of shot was used ? It would be interesting to know what sort of clothes he was wearing and any jacket or hunter orange etc.. Inorder for pellets to go through the chest past the sternum ribs and flesh, muscle etc , certain velocities are required. WHO WERE THE OTHER NON SPOUSAL WOMAN, how old, what were their names, were they there for business or pleasure. I have seen and heard extremely off color accounts of such hunts in the Ozarks involving women before. I wonder when the gun shot wound was reported to authorities by the med team involved, WHO TRANSPORTED the Wounded Lawyer, Air Evacte or Regular Ground Trans ? Personally I have done BOREDOM tests with many types of firearms over the years. What I mean to say is I have used feed sacks to examine shot spread at different distances. I have used carpet rolls and plywood etc to crudely examine shot and
even slug penetration and mushrooming. Inquiring minds want to know the ballistics. Were the woman carrying guns and what were they wearing ??? Why were they there again Hawkeye Son Of Swamp Fox (Swampy)JW ;)Vigilius Haufniensis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Interestingly, Armstrong's playing with words here.

Cheney and Whittington went hunting with two women (not their wives), there was some drinking, and Whittington wound up shot. Armstrong didn't see the incident but claimed she had, Cheney refused to be questioned by the Sheriff until the next morning, and a born-again evangelical physician has been downplaying Whittington's injuries since they
occurrred.Neither the press nor law enforcement seems inclined to investigate. Before the right-wing commenters howl - there's documentation for all of these statements. Let's take them one by one: In addition to Cheney and Whittington, the hunting party included Katherine Armstrong (who was in the car at the time of the shooting: more on that later). After lots of evasive comments that only referred to a "third hunter," we now know her identity: Pamela Willeford, the US Ambassador to Switzerland. Then there was this Armstrong quote on MSNBC and picked up by Firedoglake (later dutifully scrubbed, but preserved on Google cache): "There may be a beer or two in there," (Armstrong) said, 'but remember not everyone in the party was shooting.'" Interestingly, Armstrong's playing with words here. She later said that she (Armstrong) hadn't had anything to drink, so at least one of the other three must have been drinking - and the other three were shooting. So while her statement was literally correct ("not everyone ... was shooting"), it gives the false impression that nobody drank and shot. Then there was this item (courtesy kos): Armstrong said she saw Cheney's security detail running toward the scene. "The first thing that crossed my mind was he had a heart problem," she told The Associated Press.In other words,
she didn't see the accident. All of her statements, replete with colorful sidebars about getting "peppered pretty good," gave the false impression she was an eyewitness. She wasn't. And what about Dr. David Blanchard, who made such light of Whittington's injuries? Before the heart attack occurred, Blanchard gave no indication that pellets had entered Whittington's torso or major organs (we now know that at least one other pellet entered his liver). I found an interesting quote. After asserting that spiritual beliefs help people recover more quickly (which studies have suggested may be true), Blanchard said this of people with out of body and near death experiences: "These people do quite well in their disease processes," he said. "The Lord wasn't quite ready for them yet . . . It makes believers out of them."It's likely that Blanchard is also the same "Dr.
David Blanchard" who is listed as Vice Chairperson of World Hope International, a Christian evangelical aid group. Blanchard's certainly entitled to his own beliefs, and World Hope International (if he's the same Blanchard) has done some good work, albeit with a proselytizing bent. But most evangelicals in this country are ardent supporters of the Bush/Cheney Administration. This may explain the otherwize puzzling word choices Dr. Blanchard made to play down Whittington's injuries, especially before the heart attack made that more difficult to do. So was Cheney drinking, and was there anything inappropriate about this hunting party? We

Does China Yahoo? "Yahoo, Google and other U.S. Internet companies under fire for assisting in China's censorship efforts are insisting they must obey Beijing or risk limiting access to their most promising market," according to the Associated Press."As the companies face congressional hearings in Washington today about their role in aiding the communist regime, they are appealing to the U.S. government for help, saying no private business can resist China on its own. "Yet analysts say that even if Washington stepped in to enforce free-speech standards, perhaps by forcing U.S. companies to withdraw their Internet services or equipment from China, the impact would likely be blunted as entrepreneurs from China and other countries move in to fill the void. Google, Yahoo and other high-tech stalwarts like Microsoft Corp. and Cisco Systems, have been steadily expanding in China, believing it will emerge as an Internet gold mine during the next decade." In "190 Internet Censors? Rising Global Threats to Online Speech," Adam D. Thierer, Cato's former director of telecommunications studies, asks what happens when different countries try to regulate the Internet: "It's obvious that everyone wants to have a say regarding what can be seen or said on the Internet. But can parochial standards really be applied to the web? Or is the web truly a borderless medium that cannot be regulated in any workable sense by local authorities? Many important legal issues are at play, especially when you expand the discussion beyond free speech to include commercial regulation of the Internet. Some scholars have suggested that international treaties could be the answer. Others are calling for some sort of global regulatory body to resolve such questions. Still others suggest that the best answer is to do nothing, since anarchy, at least so far, has the advantages in terms of broadening the range of free speech globally." Government Passive in Face of Katrina "The deaths and suffering of thousands of Hurricane Katrina's victims might have been avoided if the government had heeded lessons from the 2001 terror attacks and taken a proactive stance toward disaster preparedness, a House inquiry concludes," reports the Associated Press. "But from President Bush on down to local officials there was largely a reactive posture to the catastrophic Aug. 29 storm -- even when faced with early warnings about its deadly potential." "'The preparation for and response to Hurricane Katrina should disturb all Americans,' said the report, written by a Republican-dominated special House committee chaired by Rep. Tom Davis, R-VA. 'Passivity did the most damage,' it said. 'The failure of initiative cost lives, prolonged suffering, and left all Americans justifiably concerned our government is no better prepared to protect its people than it was before 9/11, even if we are.'" In "Catastrophe in Big Easy Demonstrates Big Government's Failure," David Boaz, Cato's executive vice president, calls Hurricane Katrina "a colossal failure of government at every level -- federal, state, and local." "Let's look at the facts," Boaz writes. "Government failed to plan. Government spent $50 billion a year on homeland security without, apparently, preparing itself to deal with a widely predicted natural disaster. Government was sluggish in responding to the disaster. Government kept individuals, businesses, and charities from responding as quickly as they wanted. And at the deepest level, government so destroyed wealth and self-reliance in the people of New Orleans that they were unable to fend for themselves in a crisis. And some people conclude that we have too little government?" Cartoon Riots Spread "Three people have died and western businesses have been set on fire in Pakistan during renewed violence against caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed," The Telegraph reports. "More than 70,000 people took to the streets in Pakistan's biggest protest so far against the cartoons which were published in European newspapers and have provoked anger across the Muslim world." In "Democracy Not an Export Item," Leon Hadar, a Cato research fellow, writes: "[T]he U.S. push for democracy in the Middle East has been a self-defeating strategy that has made the region safe for nationalism and other radical forms of ethnic, religious, and tribal movements that regard the U.S. and its allies in the region as the source of all evil. It's difficult for American neoconservatives who fantasize about a global multicultural community committed to liberal democratic values to admit that perhaps the Muslims are not 'like us' after all. "They laugh, but don't appreciate our sense of humor. They want to be free, but don't share our concept of liberal democracy, a set of values and institutions that can only develop through a long process of trial and error and in a hospitable environment. Perhaps the time has come for

[cia-drugs] Another Times Reporter to Prison?
The editor and publisher should be charged. JR http://www.aim.org/media_monitor/4355_0_2_0_C/ Another Times Reporter to Prison? By Cliff Kincaid | February 16, 2006 A 22-year veteran of the Air Force noted that top secret information is defined as material whose release could cause grave damage to the United States. Our readers have reacted with outrage to the disclosure by James Risen and the New York Times of a secret NSA spying program into al-Qaeda operations on U.S. soil. A 22-year veteran of the Air Force noted that top secret information is defined as material whose release could cause grave damage to the United States. He asked, "What would you call information that allows Osama bin Laden to avoid capture or allow his plans to proceed?" He added, "Somebody blabbed some secrets that were way above anything I ever had access to. If there is Justice, those some bodies will get to do some hard time in North East Kansas-meaning Leavenworth." Meantime, NewsMax broke the storyof how Italian authorities, using wiretaps, arrested three Algerians connected to al-Qaeda planning a 9/11-type attack on the U.S. The story got little attention in the U.S. "My impression is that the major media want to use the NSA story to try and impeach the President," I told NewsMax. Erick Stakelbeck of CBN followed up with an excellent piece. Why are the media so intent on playing down the ongoing threats to our country and our people? I told Stakelbeck: "Because if they remind us that the threat exists, then that tends to support the position of the President, that he has to have the power to stop and monitor and thwart these al-Qaeda operations on American soil." Richard Miniter said, "I think the news judgment of the news directors and editors at major broadcast outlets and newspapers is profoundly blinkered by politics. They think of this war on terror as Bush's war, not America's war." On the matter of the NSA monitoring international calls without recourse to the FISA court, Roger W. Barnett, Professor Emeritus at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, tells us: "Why has no one mentioned the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1998? This legislation was specifically designed to permit employees of the intelligence community to contact the Congress to report perceived irregularities, but because of the sensitivity of the information-the concern that national security would be jeopardized-the route for contact was designated to be through the Intelligence Committees of the Congress only. So, there is a legal, established route for whomever went to the New York Times to divulge his or her information, avoiding thereby the attendant compromise of classified information. "Indeed, it is a crime to divulge classified information so, by publishing the information, does that not make the New York Times an accessory to the crime? A fence receives stolen property, and thus is an accessory to the larceny; why, then, is the NYT not an accessory in the same sense and liable for criminal sanctions. Moreover, should not the Times have properly advised the whistleblower of the Act, and to proceed in the manner provided for in the legislation? Can one assume that both the whistleblower and the Times were ignorant of the Act? (The Times, we're told, sat on the story for a year, so it had plenty of time to get smart on the legislation; and the employee should certainly have been aware of the Act.) The Times and the leaker should be prosecuted both for revelation of classified information, and for failure to comply with the Whistleblower Protection Act."

Subject: Be careful what you ask for. Is the hard left just angry or in the true meaning of the word, mad?Alternatively, they are either illiterate or have not read the Constitution. If they succeed in forcing Cheney out by impeachment or however (very unlikely) then Bush could appoint a new vice president which only requires a simple majorityin both houses. This would give the new VP a leg up on the Republican nomination for president in 2008. In other words, Bush could pick his successor. If both Bush and Cheney were removed at the same time. You get President Dennis Hastert and whoever hepicks as VP. If only Bush were removed. Then you would have President Cheney and his pick for VP. Be careful what you ask for, you may get it.
