And checking it twice

Multiple fraud investigations in progress in Katrina areas. They're investigating the little guys, of course!!, individuals who've filed false FEMA claims over 2K- not much news about Halliburton hiring scores of undoc Mexicans to do clean up and then not paying them in many cases. N.O. has 70% unemployment iirc. Not much news about the fraud investigation into the original non-bid letting of recovery projects. Every thing is fixed and you can't change it. Oh please, let that become history as individuals take up the good fight. Amazing grass roots progressive movements going on on-line these days.

what did he know and when ...

Now it comes out that Bob Woodward heard the Valerie Plame story from ("source" who he refuses to name but=Cheney iirc). Then later, Libby leaked more of it to Judith Miller, and the Time guy. Can't you just hear it: (Cheney to Libby): Well, I dropped it by Bob Woodward a couple of weeks ago, and it looks like he is not going to go public with it, so I guess you need to drop it to a few other people, so it gets published." Which then brought us to the bottom feeder guy from CNN (senior moment) who was happy to run with it. Novak. I cannot imagine why no one is asking HIM who he got it from. "With all those people at the deposition, are you afraid that one of Them might leak?" (Larry King to Woodward) answer skirted direct response, of course.

What is wrong with you people (Sen. Biden now)? There is NO WINNING gonna happen in this occupation/war

As long as Cheney says the Emperorr IS wearing clothes, I supposed we should believe him. Not. He's telling us the Dems are lying about the lies they (Admin.) told. Rummy is saying 'he' didn't make any errors in judgment- it was the CIA that told them the wrong stuff. I bet the CIA is seriously demoralized at the grunt in the field level, probably on up to the Dept. head level. Rummy failed to answerer the question about DOD having its very own intelligence service.

White phosphorus

A quote from some general or other denying anti-human use of white phosphorus:
"go into Fallujah. We were trying to ensure we had perfect targeting so that we could limit the damage. There was the ability to surround the city to allow no one to escape that was considered hostile" An awful lot of really telling pictures of the white phophorus victims. Not to mention comments from a grunt on the ground that the stuff was ignited in the air when used for lighting, but this group was firing directly at the population. I logged on to rage at some insanity just reported on CNN. There are just so many-heh heh senior moment. but it will be on again, if I stay awake that long.
Yesterday they reported that US had captured a bunch of "insurgents" in whatever Iraqi city they're pounding now - among them, the "deputy mayor, Two police captains, (a couple of other citizens in high places)" Gee, that certainly sounds a lot mmore like 'rebels against the occupation" to me.
World markets are all down - as is oil, amazingly. I've got to dump those mostly worthless stocks I spent 6K on in 2000 sigh. I'll be lucky if I get $1K, with fees.
Musharaf barely had his "we don't have terrorist attacks" out of his mouth (one day?) before a - guess what -terrorist bomb of some sort blew up 20 or 30 people in Karachi.
