I have been reading (not all comments....but) I wonder if the issue of the lack of a good investigation of 911 will ever opened again by the big wigs in DC? or the obstructions to that investigation? Reuters today reports about a new suit

http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE4AI11B20081119

interesting.....like the radio interview about convicting or even trying the FISA violators ....seems unlikely and only tending to point out the deficits of the system.

The arguments given for breaking the law all ring hollow. This administration is the creator of a crime wave, obstructing justice about energy conferences, the formation of an independent investigation about 911(and the dishonest, incomplete 911 report) , and perversion of the goals and obligations of justice, FDA, FISA etc departments. Congress keeps feeding the devil and looking the other way. The Drum beat of unhappy citizens seems to be our only option. No mention is made of all the "innocent drug dealers" that meant well/tried to feed their families... that receive real sentences for the crimes they are convicted of, return to society with a conviction on their record, if they survive.

I’m wondering when the unfair shitheads of big money stop surprising me. Recent internet activity has stirred my civic/social focus …which I had effectively put to sleep after attaining 4F status in the lottery 1971 draft.

The lies we are exposed to about HIV (is it really a virus), 911

(a few guy with box cutters), WMD ..No bid contracts in Iraq

or the financial bailout. The net effect is numbness. My letters to Joe Lieberman don't leave me feeling glorious.

Thomas Geoghegan gives a slightly different take on the credit

situation…in the current (april 2009) Harper’s ‘Infinite Debt’.

This timing to reach out at holiday and using a poetic close

with old testament bonding is a breath of fresh air. I am reinvigorated in my/our diligence to hold the new administration to it's words about torture and transparency as well as new voices/ideas from the main stream media.

Things that grow are legal... common sense, you know evolution....is common sense the source of Law? The entire drug law situation is moralization,the laws have plays out hard for many non criminal people, jambing the courts and jails and diverted law enforcement from crime, as in not defending the constitution.

A bust for an oz of pot in 1968 changed my life....if convicted

the sentence might have been LIFE Imprisonment.

Going back to the thinking behind the laws and the racist society which imposed them might shed light on why things are as they are. With the incarceration rates, recidivism and the draconian movements of prisoners away from their families, much looking is appointed.

Logic and honesty are rare event in government and/or MSM.

NYT editorial about WEBB....I wonder how great the GG effect has become on MSM

Some whining is to be expected. Sad that so little truth is published which debunks the myth. Thanks GG.... Opinions advocating committing crimes, as in bombing allies (Pakistan) say much about the advocate than anyone else. Fair magazine writes about the slant on news services using the Lexis-Nexis media tracking .....showing with very clear sightings who are the speakers on the different news shows/publications ...i don't see the myth as anything but, often repeated, nightmare advertised by scared neo-cons.

Top Dem’s are guilty of stupidity and denial….mitigating their partnership in anti-legal detentions, arrest and treatments is not an easy task. Reid’s truth commission is an attempt to control the input/output of any investigation ( think the flagrantly partisan dishonest 911 commission). Congress is so webbed up it’s hard to imagine any candid stock taking. As an outsider ( AKA citizen,) I’m experiencing some frustration …and looking back to the pentagon papers not encouraged by the ability of the media or the public to generate the grief level sufficient to cause a righting in the ship of state. We must continue to try. I think a direct focus of attention/protest might help…a little. For me in CT Joe Lieberman....not looking for much traction.

I find it strange that it takes a big uproar to do what is only simply the correct thing to do. After releasing the memo's the most natural thing in the world would be to request an investigation. Some blockage of common thinking is keeping the belt way s*** from being released and a catharsis attained. Accountability top to bottom may start a true recovery as mentioned, quite brightly, a few posts back.

As far as a pass for CIA tortures (in the trenches)I loved the video from yesterday by the rocker, ....some other prosecutors around the world will undoubtedly pick-up the thread and worry it until it reaches some kind of....

It took quite a while to form a church commission......So however

piss we are about obstruction of justice....we must continue to write to the local, national, alternative papers and all other media....I am impressed by the comparison of case/investigation/prosecution/conviction/sentence.....rates between the different brands of criminals and other criminal behavior(think not just soldiers...incarcerates & ex-cons' against illegal war and free pass for torture advocates) . Imagine the resources devoted to the war on drugs being applied to a war on crooked government.....even in a few select aspects.

i find it strange the mention of 911 commission criminal Philip Zelikow speaking out on the role of the president....he needs a out in the open debreifing on the Lies & omissions of the bush 911 commission. Torture is only one aspect of the bush rein .....many need inspection.
