Not only her, but, if there's a box marked "United States",
will powerfull people's names be found in those files, and if so, anyone want to make book on those files being made public or will they be closed in the interests of National Security?

I'm just thinking out loud.

"Because they still have all those illegal FBI files on their critics and friends."

Hmmm, doesn't your response imply that the Admin's "skirt's"
have "stains" on them? Wouldn't it seem logical that if they have nothing to fear from those files, they would at least allow Congress to investigate the clintons with full disclosure of what he's done (forget the allegations), just investigate the China Syndrome, the Buddhist Temple fund raising, etc,, etc.?

Or it could be that it's the files on Congress persons and the Administration is protecting them. Or it could be that the previous administration's DOJ screwed things up so bad and destroyed evidence that there could be no case made against those crooks. Or it could be that everyone already knows what lying sociopaths they are and don't want to waste any more time on them. We're fighting a war on terrorism. I could go on with things like the Cox report and Campaign finance Commissions but why bother.

"We're fighting a war on terrorism"


If we are truly fighting terrorism based on Bush's criteria, to wit;, "Any Country who harbours, aids and abets terrorist camps and terrorists is an enemy."

By that criteria, saudi arabia HAS to be considered an enemy. In fact, up until the time that justification was made to invade iraq where suddenly a connection was made between iraq and terrorists, we already knew that the saudis were heavily involved with terrorists and as you know, 16 of the perps were saudi cirizens in addition to which the saudi gov't held telethons to raise mony for the families of the 9/11 murderers.

When, and only when, I hear the Congress has Officially declared war on Bush's Axis of Evil and other groups, BY NAME, I consider the action in iraq a "police action just as korea & vietnam were "police actions".

War has not been Officially declared by Congress since 1940! The War Powers Resolution only gives a Pres a 90 day window to respond immediately and to deploy troops and equipment. This resolution is an abrogation of Congress's
reponsibility to honor their oaths to uphold the Constitution. You may or may not know that Pres Nixon vetoed the resolution, but, was overridden. They also violated their oaths by passing the mis-named patriot act and the CFR.

BTW, don't for a moment believe that I am not happy about the results of recent events, because I am. Unlike the anti-American hollywood traitors, I am against big gov't regardless of whether it's a repub or dem created big gov't.

The U.S. Constitution is either a LIVING document or it isn't.
