The distance from Frederick Municipal Airport (right outside Frederick MD) to Trenton Mercer Airport (right outside Princeton NJ) is 128.7 nautical miles.
Bruce was a mild, meek and sensitive scientist. The FBI showed his clinically depressed daughter, who was institutionalized in a mental hospital, photos of the anthrax victims, and said "your father did this." They offered his son $2.5 M and a sportscar if he would "rat" on his father.
She coauthored Germs: Biological Weapons and America's Secret War. The publication date of the hardcover edition is given on Amazon as Oct. 2, 2001, but Amazon also has several customer reviews dating from the week after 9/11, with the earliest being Sept. 13.
How certain can we be that Ivins sent this e-mail at the time alleged?
One of the items seized after the search of the Ivins' home was a copy of The Plague by Albert Camus. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D92CUT1G1&show_article=1
leaves the strong impression that virtually no Catholics believe in dispensationalism. http://www.amazon.com/Will-Catholics-Left-Behind-Apologetics/dp/0898709504/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1218055507&sr=1-1
I haven't had much to do with the Catholic Church in years, but my parochial school education leaves me with the strong impression that Catholics would have a hard time accepting any part of the end times cult.
as well as a copy of Camus's The Plague, is it not?
I very much hope this is just a minor sickness, not the government going after him.
By the way, on U.S. Attorney Taylor, if he was majority counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and then worked for Sen. Hatch (ranking member of Senate Judiciary at the time, if memory serves,) is there any way he could not have been aware of the Republicans' eavesdropping on the Dem senators' e-mails and strategizing through Miranda?
I think it's unlikely he would have gotten that report from anybody at USAMRIID in Frederick.
The Washington Post's first installment of excerpts from the Gellman book contains this revealing paragraph:
This program, Cheney said, was vital. Turning it off would leave us blind. Hayden, the NSA chief, pitched in: Even if the program had yet to produce blockbuster results, it was the only real hope of discovering sleeper agents before they could act.
So Hayden confessed the program(s) had achieved substantially nothing. So why was it so necessary to break the law?
As Simon Johnson's excellent Atlantic piece "The Quiet Coup", http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200905/imf-advice, points out, ruling classes don't give up their privileges unless and until they are forced to, and the financial sector is our ruling class.
I just wonder why Norman Thomas's son decided to be their lackey.
were legalized. Consequently, those important people have seen to it that legalizing drugs is outside the realm of polite discourse.
I wonder if they did this as late as possible on a Friday afternoon, so as to have a minimum of publicity.
(the judge who just ruled in that Guantanamo matter,) and maybe we can expect justice.
Didn't quite a few 19th century presidents cede power? Didn't William Howard Taft, Calvin Coolidge, and Jimmy Carter?
I wonder if David Hicks has been warned that, if he talks, Cheney's assassination squad will consider that reason to act.
There's a lot in James W. Douglass's book JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters about how, in the Cold War, presidents weren't told about a lot of the CIA's dirty deeds, so that there could be plausible deniability.
Not always. The Louisiana Purchase was an example of an action he took that he probably in secret regarded as probably unconstitutional.
But in general he stepped back from John Adams's more expansive view of presidential powers. And several 19th century presidents followed him in reining themselves in. As did a few 20th century presidents: Taft, Coolidge, Carter.
Two days before Obama voted in the Senate for the FISA "compromise" last year, he had that mechanical difficulty with his campaign plane that required an emergency landing in St. Louis.
He had already announced the previous week that he supported the "compromise," but was somebody delivering a warning to him so that he stayed in line?
I'd like to know what the relative chronology is of when Obama announced his support and the evening when Obama clinched the nomination when he disappeared from his campaign plane, let the plane with the press take off for Chicago without him, and then went to some location that was undisclosed for the time being. It was announced the next day that he had met that evening with Hillary Clinton, and then, after some confusion about where the meeting had taken place, that it was at Dianne Feinstein's home in D.C. But the Bilderbergers were meeting at that very time at a location -- in Reston, VA -- that was only a short distance from where Obama had left that plane, at Dulles Airport. I imagine Obama had time to be in both places. I have a vague recollection that the two events, that evening and the announcement of support of the "compromise", were around the same time.
how the courts would interpret the law, can any officials claim that they could reasonably rely on what he told them about what he thought the law was?
were arguing that sending him to Germany to be prosecuted would amount to torture, in his condition. "'This is nothing less than a grotesque debasement of the word 'torture,' a characterization that makes a mockery of the terrible suffering inflicted on genuine victims of torture at places like the Sobibor extermination center,' prosecutors wrote. " http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2009/04/john_demjanjuks_halted_deporta.html
Those prosecutors seem to take genuine torture seriously. Or maybe they only do so when it helps their side of a case.
by these memos.
the interests of Israel and the U.S. are identical. Thus, when they do whatever Israel wants, they think they're helping America, not hurting it.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
