On July 6, 2006, Stonebridge International, a global strategy firm, announced that it had added a new member to its high-profile, five-member advisory board—former Democratic Congressman Lee Hamilton.
True to form, the major media ignored the Hamilton appointment. They should not have. Hamilton, who had served as Vice-Chairman of the 9/11 Commission, had just joined a firm headed by the man who had criminally undermined that very Commission, Stonebridge chairman and founder, Samuel "Sandy" Berger.

I love the capsule description of Stonebridge. A bunch of political hacks who make their money by selling out America. And that list reads like Hillary's Cabinet if she wins.
Yes. It was an unbelieveable lapse. Any government clerical who did it would be fired and jailed.
I saw Deutch on CSPAN a couple of times and it was painfully obvious that there was something wrong with him.

the injustice speaks for it.......It should come out
hot and heavy by the R-s no Justice-No vote JK
Before Berger became National Security Advisor, a job for which he had no known qualifications, he was the major Washington trade lobbyist for China.
Of course not. Not ever.
Like the old saying goes: Three men can keep a secret if two of them are dead. There's simply no way something that juicy could have remained a secret if a whole ship's crew knew about it. Sorry. Ain't happening.
I dunno for sure what brought down Flight 800 but it wasn't a Navy missile.
LOL!
If this was classified, it would have been on the front page of the NYT, somehow blaming Rumsfeld.
By the spring of 2006, Berger felt sufficiently comfortable in his relationship with that media to execute a brazen, political drive-by on the one man who most seriously threatened the Clinton legacy and his own reputation, namely Rep. Curt Weldon of Pennsylvania.
Berger began his spring offensive in March 2006 with a fundraiser for Weldon's opponent, Joe Sestak. Almost universally despised by his Naval colleagues, the former vice admiral was forced into retirement for what the U.S. Navy charitably called "poor command climate." Before being recruited to run for Congress, Sestak had not lived in Weldon's district for 30 years.
The Clinton Connection
Although hosted by Berger, the fundraiser was held at the law offices of Harold Ickes, a veteran Clinton fixer, and Janice Enright, the treasurer of Hillary Clinton's 2006 Senate campaign.
Before the campaign was through, Clinton insiders would enlist Stonebridge's Director of Communications to serve as Sestak's campaign spokes-person, summon former president Clinton to rally the troops, and finally call in the federales. Their motives were transparent even to the local media.
"A Sestak victory," observed suburban Philadelphia's Delco Times early in the campaign, "would muzzle a Republican congressman who blames Clinton for doing irreparable harm to America's national security during the 1990s."
As the number two Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, Weldon had not only exposed the Clinton administration's lethal "Able Danger" breakdown, but he had also catalogued the CIA's failures before Sept. 11 in his book Countdown to Terror. And he wasn't stopping there.
you might find this as an interesting article.
Lots of drug dealers and wannabe syndicate types. Clinton keeps coming up with drug and wannabe-syndicate connections. This is obviously at the root of his Arkansas ("Dixie Mafia") past. He's a smart, socipathic small time hood who made it to the big time.

During the now legendary Chris Wallace interview with President Clinton in late September 2006 on FOX News, the nation saw just how potent were the guns aimed at Weldon. "A three-star admiral," Clinton announced out of nowhere, "who was on my National Security Council staff, who also fought terror, by the way, is running for the seat of Curt Weldon in Pennsylvania." He did not even mention Sestak by name. He may not have known it. Other than President Bush, Clinton mentioned no other Republican than Weldon.
The Curious "Leak"
It is not easy to take out a popular ten-term congressman. Weldon's enemies, however, had a nasty little ace up their sleeves. A week after President Clinton visited Weldon's district to fire up the troops, the McClatchy Newspapers broke a story attributed to two anonymous sources, namely that Weldon had "traded his political influence for lucrative lobbying and consulting contracts for his daughter."
Huh. This column was posted and covered extensively here several weeks ago.
I wonder why AIM republished it with today's date?
