Shockingly, a candid admission of bias.

Funny how I read posts bashing Republicans more and more lately, but not Marxist Hillary. I wonder why?
Exposing Hillary’s Illegalities In Los Angeles Court To Begin Feb. 21 2008
The Hillary Clinton Accountability Project will shortly launch its fundraising drive to raise $500,000 to support the most important citizen’s legal initiative of 2008. The landmark civil fraud suit of Paul v Clinton et al which the California Supreme Court ordered to proceed against the Clintons, Grammys Producer Gary Smith and Clinton agent Jim Levin, will be set for trial and a discovery schedule at a special conference to be held in Los Angeles Superior Court on February 21, 2008.

The first law suit in American history to bring a President and a Senator to court for defrauding the Senator’s largest campaign donor and his public company will be set for trial and discovery at the Case Management Conference before Judge Munoz. Discovery and depositions of key witnesses, including the Clinton family, Al Gore, Ed Rendell, Terry McAuliffe, Harold Ickes, Howard Wolfson, Kelly Craighead, Barbara Streisand, Brad Pitt, Larry King, Mike Wallace among an array of political and entertainment leaders, will present an inside look at a culture of corruption that will shock the public.

"Look Tom," Kerrey is quoted as saying, "either he goes or I go." Kean eventually persuaded Kerrey to stay.

I'm sure that the noble Bob Kerrey, so brimming full with integrity, took a similar stand with the infinitely more egregious cases of Jamie Gorelick and Richard Ben Veniste, because of course Bob Kerrey would never have wanted the 9/11 Comm. to be infested with dishonest liberals with close ties to the Clintonista regime!!!

otoh, what is reported of Zelikow sounds utterly trivial and insignificant. It was always known that he co-authored a book with Rice. He is not a political HACK like Gorelicker and Ben Veniste. Still, it would have been far better if neither party had been able to control the composition of the 9/11 Comm. but of course that would be near impossible in a 'political' system -- who would decide?? Still, both parties should have agreed not to have any hacks like Gorelicker or Ben Veniste.

Kerrey was just trying to "swat a fly" (Zelikow) while overlooking the "elephant in the room" sitting right next to him (Jamie Gorelick).

Did anyone ask Bob Kerrey yet, how and why Norman Hsu got a fast track to became a Member of Board and Trustee at the New School?

good points — yes, we’re still waiting.... for any enterprising journalist(s).... (if there are any) ..... to go after Bob Kerrey until he comes clean on all he knows about Norman Hsu, not to mention Kerrey’s role in the massive cover-up of Clintonista malfeasance known as the 9/11 Omission.

BTW, we have the docs.

And the MSM conveniently forgets their own prior coverage of this issue. From my files:

In in 1998, an Arab intelligence officer, who knows Saddam personally, predicted in Newsweek: "Very soon you will be witnessing large-scale terrorist activity run by the Iraqis." The Arab official said these terror operations would be run under "false flags" --spook-speak for front groups--including bin Laden's organization.

Then there were the predictions by an Iraqi with ties to Iraqi intelligence, Naeem Abd Mulhalhal, in Qusay's own newspaper several weeks before the attacks that stated bin Laden would “demolish the Pentagon after he destroys the White House and ”bin Laden would strike America “on the arm that is already hurting.” (referencing a second IRAQI sponsored attack on the World Trade Center). Another reference to New York was “[bin Laden] will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra everytime he hears his songs.” (e.g., “New York, New York”) which identified New York, New York as a target. Mulhalhal also stated, “The wings of a dove and the bullet are all but one and the same in the heart of a believer." which references an airplane attack.

The Arabic language daily newspaper Al-Quds Al-Arabic also cited the cooperation between Iraq, bin Laden and Al December 1998 editorial, which predicted that “President Saddam Hussein, whose country was subjected to a four day air strike, will look for support in taking revenge on the United States and Britain by cooperating with Saudi oppositionist Osama Bin-Laden, whom the United States considers to be the most wanted person in the world.” This info is in the link provided below. How could these people have had foreknowledge without Iraq being involved?

Source for this info

Warning...slow loading .pdf file. This was from a lawsuit filed against Iraq after 9/11...the court ruled against Iraq.

There was also another lawsuit filed by the family of John O’Neill (a former FBI agent who captured Ramzi Yousef after the 1993 WTC bombings) after he died in the WTC on 9/11. His personal files from his years of traveling around the world investigating al-Qaeda are were used as evidence in the lawsuit. The evidence includes documents unearthed in the headquarters of the Mukhabarat (Iraq's intelligence service) and information gleaned from the interrogation of both al-Qaeda and Iraqi prisoners. (Link below). It also quotes Vincent Cannistraro, the former CIA counter-terrorism chief, who stated in October 2000 that Iraq had been wanting to carry out terrorist attacks, and that the Iraqi military had been in contact with Osama bin Laden.

We know from these IIS documents that beginning in 1992 the former Iraqi regime regarded bin Laden as an Iraqi Intelligence asset. We know from IIS documents that the former Iraqi regime provided safe haven and financial support to an Iraqi who has admitted to mixing the chemicals for the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. We know from IIS documents that Saddam Hussein agreed to Osama bin Laden's request to broadcast anti-Saudi propaganda on Iraqi state-run television. We know from IIS documents that a "trusted confidante" of bin Laden stayed for more than two weeks at a posh Baghdad hotel as the guest of the Iraqi Intelligence Service.

An AP story about a NYSlime writer’s political hitpiece (even done in hardcover) qualifies for a double BS rating.

The only way any of those bums could find “integrity” is in their SpellChecker.
