mistranslated into the Russian for "overcharge". Apparently, Hillary did the

Storied Journalist Says Cheney Oversaw "Executive Assassination Ring"
http://tinyurl.com/can9sx
Seymour Hersh is one of our greatest living journalists -- the Pulitizer
Prize-winner broke the story of the My Lai massacre in Vietnam a generation
ago, and he never let up. More recently he helped to break the Abu Ghraib
prison scandal. Now it sounds like he's working on the story of a lifetime,
although I'm a little surprised by how much he let dribble out in a talk at the
University of Minnesota:
At a "Great Conversations" event at the University of Minnesota last night,
legendary investigative reporter Seymour Hersh may have made a little more news
than he intended by talking about new alleged instances of domestic spying by
the CIA, and about an ongoing covert military operation that he called an
"executive assassination ring."
The specifics:
"Right now, today, there was a story in the New York Times that if you read it
carefully mentioned something known as the Joint Special Operations Command --
JSOC it's called. It is a special wing of our special operations community that
is set up independently. They do not report to anybody, except in the
Bush-Cheney days, they reported directly to the Cheney office. They did not
report to the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff or to Mr. [Robert] Gates,
the secretary of defense. They reported directly to him. ...
"Congress has no oversight of it. It's an executive assassination ring
essentially, and it's been going on and on and on. Just today in the Times
there was a story that its leaders, a three star admiral named [William H]
McRaven, ordered a stop to it because there were so many collateral deaths.
"Under President Bush's authority, they've been going into countries, not
talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a
list and executing them and leaving. That's been going on, in the name of all
of us. ...

Secret Emails Show Iraq Dossier Was 'Sexed Up'
http://tinyurl.com/abotgo
Secret Whitehall emails released yesterday provide damning new evidence that
the notorious dossier making the case for invading Iraq was "sexed up".
They disclose that the intelligence services were sceptical over the "iffy
drafting" of government claims that Saddam Hussein could mount a missile strike
on his neighbours within 45 minutes of ordering an attack.
Officials privately mocked assertions that the Iraqi president was covertly
trying to develop a nuclear capability and wisecracked that perhaps he had
recruited "Dr Frankenstein" to his supposed crack team of nuclear scientists.
The release of a series of confidential memos and emails, following a
protracted Freedom of Information battle, reignited the controversy over
accusations that Tony Blair's government "spun" Britain into war.
Last night William Hague, the shadow Foreign Secretary, said: "This is the
latest in a steady stream of damaging revelations about the events leading up
to the Iraq war. These minutes shed interesting light on the process by which
the caveats in the Joint Intelligence Committee's original assessment of Iraq's
WMD programmes were stripped out of the dossier that was presented to
Parliament and the British people. ..."

I May Run For President Of Texas
by Chuck Norris
http://tinyurl.com/czcuvb
On Glenn Beck's radio show last week, I quipped in response to our wayward
federal government, "I may run for president of Texas."
That need may be a reality sooner than we think. If not me, someone someday may
again be running for president of the Lone Star state, if the state of the
union continues to turn into the enemy of the state.
>From the East Coast to the "Left Coast," America seems to be moving further
>and further from its founders' vision and government. ...
How much more will Americans take? When will enough be enough? And, when that
time comes, will our leaders finally listen or will history need to record a
second American Revolution? ...
When I appeared on Glenn Beck's radio show, he told me that someone had asked
him, "Do you really believe that there is going to be trouble in the future?"
And he answered, "If this country starts to spiral out of control and Mexico
melts down or whatever, if it really starts to spiral out of control, before
America allows a country to become a totalitarian country (which it would have
under I think the Republicans as well in this situation; they were taking us to
the same place, just slower), Americans won't stand for it. There will be parts
of the country that will rise up." Then Glenn asked me and his listening
audience, "And where's that going to come from?" He answered his own question,
"Texas, it's going to come from Texas. Do you agree with that Chuck?" I
replied, "Oh yeah!" Definitely ...
For those losing hope, and others wanting to rekindle the patriotic fires of
early America, I encourage you to join Fox News' Glenn Beck, me and millions of
people across the country in the live telecast, "We Surround Them," on Friday
afternoon (March 13 at 5 p.m. ET, 4 p.m. CT and 2 p.m. PST). Thousands of cell
groups will be united around the country in solidarity over the concerns for
our nation. You can host or attend a viewing party by going to Glenn's website.
My wife Gena and I will be hosting one from our Texas ranch, in which we've
invited many family members, friends and law enforcement to join us. It's our
way of saying "We're united, we're tired of the corruption, and we're not going
to take it anymore!" ...

Hey, reichwingers, next time you feel like going off on a rant about how
militias are going to rise up and overthrow the U.S. government, and how you
think Supreme Court justices and presidential candidiates ought to be poisoned,
and about how you plan to help break up the Union because you don't like our
current administration....
Thank a liberal for your right to say it.

Slain US Nazi Hated Obama, Had Parts For 'Dirty Bomb'
http://tinyurl.com/dcmmwd
Trust fund millionaire James G. Cummings, an American Nazi sympathizer from
Maine who was slain by his wife Amber in December, allegedly had the
radioactive components necessary to construct a "dirty bomb," a newly released
threat analysis report states.
The man, allegedly furious over the election of President Obama, purchased
depleted uranium over the Internet from an American company.
"According to an FBI field intelligence report from the Washington Regional
Threat and Analysis Center posted online by WikiLeaks, an organization that
posts leaked documents, an investigation into the case revealed that
radioactive materials were removed from Cummings' home after his shooting death
on Dec. 9," reported the Bangor Daily News. ...
The story of the first attempt at constructing a "dirty bomb" in the United
States was not carried by any mainstream press outside of Maine.
"Conservatives apparently didn't want to draw attention to a radioactive,
wealthy version of Timothy McVeigh coming from their own sphere, although
nearly every day during Bush's reign saw "dirty bombs" hyped as the ultimate
threat," summarized Wikileaks. ...
