This passage raises some very interesting questions. Given the parallels in the warnings from PBS and CNN, it appears that somehow, these producers are basically censoring the news. On what authority are they doing this? Is corporate management of both organizations requiring it, or is the government forcing these organizations to censor?

Is it really so hard to draw a conclusion? Didn't the CIA boast, way back in the 1970s, that they had successfully infiltrated every major media organisation in the USA? Do you really think they wouldn't have infiltrated the FCC as well?

And twenty, thirty, forty years later, after Reagan, after ex-CIA head Bush 41, and after 8 years of his idiot son, after FAUX News and all the rest, do you really think they haven't fully infiltrated US media everywhere?

Ay, there's the rub.

Journos? Bloggers! Floggers one and all.

Be careful, they are watching you.

Are you sure it's safe, said my wife.

The doorbell rang. A young Israeli, selling paintings.

Could have been anybody.

After such knowledge, what forgiveness?

Anti-Bush bloggers medals!

Anybody want one? No.

Did your friend Nicole get that movie out?

The one with your other friend Hugh.

How much did that cost us?

Was it any good, the celery?

Did it clear your eyeballs

They look rheumatic

Get some rest

U.S. Loses Ruling on Hatfill

A federal judge ordered the Justice Department yesterday to release documents that explain why investigators suspected Steven J. Hatfill in the 2001 anthrax mailings. Hatfill has since been exonerated.

U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth ordered the Justice Department to make public affidavits and related records used to persuade judges to allow federal agents to search Hatfill's property. He also ruled that the government must disclose similar records involving Hatfill's girlfriend.

In ruling for the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, which were seeking the documents in a lawsuit, Lamberth wrote that the public has "a legitimate interest in observing and understanding how and why the investigation progressed in the way that it did."

In 2002, Attorney General John D. Ashcroft named Hatfill as a "person of interest" in the anthrax mailings, which killed five people and sickened 17 others. In June, the former bioweapons researcher settled a lawsuit alleging privacy violations by the Justice Department for $5.85 million. Prosecutors later officially "excluded" him as a suspect in the attacks.

Authorities now say that bacteriologist Bruce E. Ivins, who committed suicide in July, was the sole perpetrator of the crime.

Do you think a new administration will get to the bottom of this story? Is Leahy still pushing for resolution? I still think this story is the key to blowing the lid on the whole cabal.

When I saw that the AG had lost it and collapsed while making a speech in defence of the Bush torture regime today, my first thought was that God Almighty was surely teaching these fools a lesson.

But then he got better, so maybe it was just a warning. Who knows? Only Baby Jeebus and the Angels.

Either way, it won't matter. These evil criminals are beyond help.

Did you see Bush getting ignored by all the G20 leaders? That was after he had to ask the Australian PM what the G20 even was! IMHO pressure is taking it's toll. Reality is a b*tch sometimes.

David Hicks, who spent over five years in Gitmo, early this week made a public plea to the Australian Federal Police (AFP) asking that they not renew a control order on his activites, which limits his movements and is due to expire on Dec 31. A public pressure campaign was organised to support his request, but it proved unnecessary as the AFP quickly agreed to his request.

Hicks, the only person ever convicted (on a plea deal) at the Gitmo courts, says the control order has made it impossible toe get on with his life, and the media here have characterized this as his "sixth year in detention". Hicks remains mentally fragile and says he is still not ready to tell the Australian public his full Gitmo story.

Meanwhile, the AFP are facing new pressure on another front. The Australian government has just received a report into the AFP's disgraceful treatment of Dr. Mohamed Haneef, who was wrongfully detained as a terrorist in the lead-up to the last election here. There are renewed calls for the head of the AFP to be sacked.
