Mainstream media is about done as a useful source of information. Their only goal seems to be to manipulate opinion, not much unapproved stuff makes the air. Too few read, at least anything other than the same drivel from the same vested interests.

[Samizdat]

If it were my loved one I would not want to think they were so miserable as to commit suicide. That is what is odd about it. There is evidence it was a murder. If it were me, I would rather have that, awful as it is, than suicide, and be able to punish the wrongdoer.

If we wanted the pictures just for some sort of perverse curiosity, it would be wrong but we want them because we suspect murder. I think that's reason enough. Sorry to disagree but I think you're wrong on this one.

[Howlin]

The problem with that, IMO, is that there is NOBODY who you all would consider good enough to make the call.

Suppose Ted Olsen says, "I looked at the pictures, consulted with experts, and there is nothing there."

He will be the next one on "the list" of people accused of covering up for the Clintons.

There is just nobody that would satisfy the "he was murdered" crowd. Everybody is suspect.

I hope that this case gets the respect it deserves. There are too many conspiracies, too many lies, and too little trust in our government to search for the truth and not cave in to political pressure and corruption. This is a chance to restore some measure of credibility. That journey's first step needs to be taken and it could be taken with the Foster case. Do the investigation and release the data. Let's finally get to the truth.

[Burkeman1]

What finally made totally give up on television news all together and much of the major daily newspapers was Clinton's 98 bombing of Serbia for 78 days.

"I disagree, Howlin. It is a matter of a death being recognized as a murder & not
a suicide. I think Fosters widow is still afraid of the clintons, after all these
years."

I've thought that from the beginning. I never read a single sentence from her to the effect that she wanted her husband's death to be investigated fully.

[Howlin]

There is absolutely NO NEED to release these pictures to the public. None.

There are people who make these kinds of decisions; if what they decide doesn't suit you all, that's a problem because, as I said above, nobody will satisfy you all until somebody says "He was murdered."

Sometimes things are what they are.

[Burkeman1]

I think to say he was murdered is very premature and reckless. But equally dubious is anyone who agrees with the laughable findings of the Star report concerning Foster's death. At the very least existing evidence sugests the body was moved- a crime in itself.

[AppyPappy]

There is absolutely NO NEED to release these pictures to the public. None.

Actually, there is no need to keep them secret.

[Howlin]

And what does any of that have to do with releasing the photos of him to anybody other than a proper authority?

[Samizdat]

There is just nobody that would satisfy the "he was murdered" crowd. Everybody is suspect.

I think they photos need to be viewed by the people who want to view them. And they won't be all over the internet. They can only be viewed in DC where they are. So anyone who wants to travel there should be able to view them.

As soon as somebody explains to me how fingerprints can melt off a gun because of the heat while one unidentified fingerprint remains to my satisfaction, then I will be quiet. Until then, we need to see the photos.

[Howlin]

I have never understood why people think they have a right to see autopsy photos, period.

[Howlin]

And they won't be all over the internet.

Please don't insult my intelligence.

[Fred Mertz]

You took the Patrick Knowlton walking tour of Fort Marcy Park too IIRC. I went in Jan 2001 with leadpenny and basil and John Clarke and about six other FReepers.

[Wm Bach]

And, no, nobody has a RIGHT to see those pictures, regardless of what the law is concerning them.

So you don't believe in the rule of law?

[Burkeman1]

Well- nothing I guess. I am not sure they should be released either. But I am saying that even without these photos enough evidence exists that makes the official Star Report a joke and that his death is far from being adequetley explained. And the fact that these discrepencies in the death of a high ranking government official have not even been examined or refuted by anyone in the maistream media is a commentary on just how "free" our media really is.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

I think the opinion that Mrs. Foster is still afraid of the Clintons is exactly it. No one speaks out against them. What evil do they threaten? Is it a cocktail that's mixed exclusively for each? FBI files, the lives of loved ones threatened, or are they sweetened with a few new cars or bank accounts which stay padded for years?

[Teacher317]

Yes, Barbara K. Olson was Freeper "BKO".

Here is the tribute thread to her when we found out she was on one of the 9-11 planes.

Here is a link to the FReeper memorial page, since so many have passed in the last few years (of course, with 30,000+ active members, and 85,000+ FReeper ID's, this isn't surprising).

Here's the only thread she bookmarked.

I can't find her last post, though.

[Howlin]

I believe autopsy photos should be private matters between families and authorities ONLY, period.

And don't try that "rule of law" crap on me; I see enough twisting of the law around here to know not everybody agrees with every single law on the books.

What??? No Michael Rivero link? ;-)
