    WOW, no your info that Mohammed Atta frequented Abramoff's Sun Cruz gambling ships/casinos is very definitely not to far into the fringe. It is, to me, very much of a bombshell piece of information. I did not know that.

    That info is very important and could relate to the speculation of many that the 9/11 event has a number of very suspicious elements that don't add up the way the Bushies add it up. That the 9/11 event may have been a setup by the Bushies the way the Iraq war was a setup/ contrivance per WMD and 21 other reasons why we invaded Iraq each one eventually falling under the weight of rigorous scrutiny thus requiring yet another false reason why we invaded at great cost in lives and dollars.

    I seem to remember some suspicions were raised around issues such as:

    FBI warnings up to a year in advance that certain suspicious people were taking flying lessons in Jeb Bushs' state of Florida.

    FBI warnings that something was about to happen shortly before it did happen.

    FBI warnings that exactly the the thing that happened was about to happen.

    Explosives and demolition experts claiming that never in the history of the modern world has any building ever fallen in it's own footprint and at almost the speed of free fall unless it was set with demolition charges intended to do exactly that.

    Firemen inside the buildings doing rescue reported that they heard explosions of an unexplained and suspicious (to them) origin.

    That interceptor jets were sent out to sea over the Atlantic ocean and put in a 'station keeping' mode instead of an interception path as ordered by Cheney.

    Now this info linking Atta and Abramoff.

    God help us all, what will be revealed next. This entire thing/situation/event gets ever more twisted, suspicious and frightening.

  • AS Will Pombo And Plunder

    [Read the article: Schwarzenegger's sly move]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I am absolutely convinced that the governator will never honor his campaign promise to act in environmentally friendly ways.

    AS will pull a 'Pombo' and plunder Calif's natural resources to the disadvantage of the people of Calif who have worked and taxed themselves to preserve their resources. As will sell off the state to the benefit of repub corporate cronies.

    Do modern day repubs ever preserve anything or do they plunder what belongs to the people. There is only one answer to that question.

    Left up to the rethugs Calif would be stripped of it's trees and left barren. Were it not for the environmentalists every state in America would already be plundered, stripped and made barren.

    The Bushie Rethugs have made the EPA just another feckless government agency.

  • Dear Christy Miller

    I am so very sorry for the loss of your son Austin. After I read your article I said a prayer for you that God may grant you all the strength you need and deserve.

    Christy, thank you for your courage in writing this article, most certainly a fine testimony to Austin, you and Austin have touched so many of us.

    Your writing brings us face to face with what we have allowed to be done to another fine young man, a courageous one. All Americans should have this most illegal war square in our face everyday, we must not be allowed to disconnect from the war and our governments actions in any way.

    Austin and so many others have given their lives for 'we the people' and there really is no way to thank him or you .

    Defending America is a noble cause. But it is the complete and total responsibility of every citizen of this country to protect our service personnel from the excesses (crimes is more like it) of this government, this political party and the so-called self styled christians who are totally out of control.

    'We the people' must see to it that our troops are protected in every way possible.

    Austin must have been a wonderful person because you are.

    Good luck and God bless

  • So Thats How It Works

    [Read the article: Foley pushed child porn bills, asked: "Do I make you a little horny?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Hmmm, let's see, what do we have so far.

    1. Foley is a pedophile, check.

    2. Foley, is a Repub and another Catholic pedophile, check.

    3. I am a Catholic but since I am not a Repub I am a non-christian, pagan, some kind of pro terrorist non-citizen who has no voice in our country or government, check.

    4. The Repub party, the Repub Gingrich (and all his whoring and womanizing) moral majority guy has sole claim on all morality, check.

    5. Joe Scarborough (Repub,Catholic, rep. from Fla the state of all that is most moral in America along with Ohio and Texas) had the death of one of his aides, a young woman, hushed up in Fla and in Wash, but I remember it, check.

    6. The Catholic church covers up for it's pedophiles, check.

    7. The Repub party covers up for it's pedophiles both priests and politicians, check, check and check again.

    While the rest of us are incessantly derided and vilified (as Hitler did to the jews) by Bush, the illegal torturer and illegal wiretapper, and the Repub members of congress and the entire Repub party are the moral majority, paragons of virtue, George Allen rascists, white supremacists and nazis', while the rest of us support terrorists and hate America while they destroy our Constitution, check, check,check,check,check and check again.

    The Repubs and their theocrat jihadist fundamentalists...

    WOW, I could go on all day with this, but I'll stop now.

    I know how, He is a Republican, they can justify anything, any means justifies their ends, and that's how he can look himself in the mirror.

    They absolutely have no shame, so for them, their ideaology and mindset, anything goes. Bush demonstrates this almost everyday with his endless, endless, endless lies.

  • It's A Revelation About Corporatocracy And The Repub Party

    [Read the article: Another spying scandal for Capitol Hill]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    This is truly terrible and demonstrates the ever devolving corporate mindset.

    But it's nothing compared to what Bush and the corrupt/criminal Rethugs are going to do with the wiretapping bill when they use it on ALL Americans. And they most certainly will.
