With the current insane debacle going on over the three stooges, John McCain, B. Hussein Obama, and H. Rottenham Clinton going on it is little wonder that the MSM gets away with covering up this very important tale of deceit at the highest levels (High Crimes and Misdemeanors).
The Shrub of horrors can also be seen to be spreading his dis-ease around some of the worlds capitols with his evil twin by his side...the late, great, Condoleeza 'wife by proxy' Rice.
Though I'm sure you'd rather be elsewhere reading trivia please forego that marvellous quest for just a moment and read this piece. The articles' url is at the end so you might want to go there as there are links, that I haven't included here, in the original article which are contextually important.
The fascisto socialist American state isn't going to get any better till we rise up in open rebellion against these clowns who took over so long ago. Can't blame just one little shrub for all the havoc America has wreaked upon this globe in the name of a false and illuso-delusory 'democracy.'
You did know that America was founded as a Republic, didn't you? And you do know the difference, don't you, even though your 'teachers' probably didn't?

Why doesn't the 9/11 Commission know about Mukasey's 9/11 story?
Last week, during a question-and-answer session following a speech he delivered in San Francisco, Attorney General Michael Mukasey revealed a startling and extremely newsworthy fact. As I wrote last Saturday, Mukasey claimed that, prior to 9/11, the Bush administration was aware of a telephone call being made by an Al Qaeda Terrorist from what he called a "safe house in Afghanistan" into the U.S., but failed to eavesdrop on that call. Some help is needed from readers here to generate the attention for this story that it requires.
In that speech, Mukasey blamed FISA's warrant requirement for the failure to eavesdrop on that call -- an assertion which is, for multiple reasons that I detailed in that post, completely false. He then tearfully claimed that FISA therefore caused the deaths of "three thousand people who went to work that day." For obvious reasons, the Attorney General's FISA falsehoods themselves are extremely newsworthy, but it is the story he told about the pre-9/11-planning call from Afghanistan itself that is truly new, and truly extraordinary.
Critically, the 9/11 Commission Report -- intended to be a comprehensive account of all relevant pre-9/11 activities -- makes no mention whatsoever of the episode Mukasey described. What has been long publicly reported in great detail are multiple calls that were made between a global communications hub in Yemen and the U.S. -- calls which the NSA did intercept without warrants (because, contrary to Mukasey's lie, FISA does not and never did require a warrant for eavesdropping on foreign targets) but which, for some unknown reason, the NSA failed to share with the FBI and other agencies. But the critical pre-9/11 episode Mukasey described last week is nowhere to be found in the 9/11 Report or anywhere else. It just does not exist. more >
