It took n hour or two, but with the help of freepers Demlosers and Echo Talon, I had enough information to track down Mr. McCarthy. HE IS NOT THE LAWYER. Mr. McCarthy is a Landscape Architect and a member of the National Association of Landscape Architects. His website with picture is at www.michaelmccarthy.biz. Who says we don't check our facts?!

Who is Mary McCarthy's husband. Why hasn't he come up? We know he is named Michael J. McCarthy because of their political contributions. One candidate is Michael J. McCarthy, current Washington broadcast lawyer and former director of the National Association of Broadcasters. His bio is found at the link. Points of interest: Same name, same age as Mary (61), lives in washington, worked in Nixon whitehouse during Watergate era. I emailed him Tuesday to ask and haven't recieved a response. I challenge all interested Freepers to research this. If it is this guy, it could be big. He knows everybody...

Thirty years ago, Cheney became President Gerald Ford’s chief of staff, and his close colleague, Donald Rumsfeld, became the secretary of defense. The two men had a clear security agenda to reverse the moderate policies of President Richard Nixon. This required weakening the negotiating powers of Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, ending arms control and disarmament negotiations with the Soviet Union, slowing the pace of détente with the Kremlin, and ending the dialogue with China. Cheney and Rumsfeld also targeted the CIA, believing that the agency was not being responsive to their foreign policy concerns and that the CIA’s...

Having tired of yelling at my television, I have set down to write the painfully obvious: Sayed Rahmatullah Hashimi, the Ivy League Mullah, is a CIA asset. His admittance to the country and his acceptance to Yale are merely payback for services rendered. Mike Hoover, Hashimi’s sponsor, was one of only a handful of journalists allowed into Afghanistan by the CIA in the eighties to observe the war against Russia. Bob Schuster, Hoover’s attorney friend, was a 1967 graduate of Yale and apparently had the connections to obtain a slot for Hashimi at the Ivy League school. Although I cannot...

You heard it here first; the war in Iraq is over. Icasualties.org, a website that tracks casualties in Iraq, shows that the daily American military death toll has been steadily dropping for the past six months. March, 2006 had the second lowest KIA rate since the war began. Of course the numbers are misleading. It will come as a surprise to some that the widely proclaimed milestone of two thousand military deaths in the Iraq war included soldiers and marines killed in vehicle accidents, those that died of natural causes, and those that killed themselves. At the time of reporting...

NEW YORK In one of the most disturbing and disgraceful media performances of this type in recent years, television and newspapers carried the tragically wrong news late Tuesday and early Wednesday that 12 of 13 trapped coal miners in West Virginia had been found alive and safe. Hours later they had to reverse course, often blaming the mix-up on "miscommunication." For hours, starting just before midnight, newspaper reporters and anchors such as Rita Crosby interviewed euphoric loved ones and helped spread the news about the miracle rescue. Newspaper Web sites announced the happy news and many put it into print...
