Buying Reynold's stock as we type...

[Brian Mosely]

Wait...wasn't one of Web Hubbel's first instructions from Clinton to learn if UFO's were real or not?

[ErnBatavia]

Yep! Definite 'hat material'...

[vbmoneyspender]

Why didn't Podesta push this when Clinton was President. Oh, I forgot, he wasn't getting paid by the Sci-Fi channel to do it then.

[Poohbah]

OK, I see the Dem's latest strategy, after Enron/What-Did-Bush-Know-and-When-Did-He-Know-It failed...

"GEORGE BUSH IS COVERING UP THE TRUTH ABOUT UFO ALIENS!"

[freedomson]

I think the sick, SOB, sink emperor wants to 'do an alien' or 'git hisself serviced by an alien'.

Gross.

[patriot_wes]

"eyewitnesses saw a fireball streak over North America, bank, turn and appear to crash in western Pennsylvania."

You know there's a bad-a** Hillary Halloweeen joke in here somewhere!!!

He's just disappointed that he hasn't been picked up for one of those "anal probes".

[sharktrager]

They do ask one intelligent question.

If it was just a meteorite, why is the information classified?

I don't know about UFO's, but I have always wondered about this aspect.

[Poohbah]

I can see a reason why it would be classified.

The sensors involved in tracking the object are still in use in national defense today. Although they have been upgraded, a discerning enemy might use the information on what those sensors could do THEN and take into account the upgrades that have been made to determine what they can do NOW.

[sharktrager]

That would explain some of the information being classified. They do, however, have the ability to selectively hide information.

The fact that they took a truck out there and picked the thing up is hardly the same as discussing the means by which they tracked the flight.

[Blue Screen of Death]

All they want to do is register them as Democrats, set up an affirmative action program if they are green, tax them and teach them to hate white people.

[RoughDobermann]

Ding, ding, ding!! Winner ahoy! But, but, are you SURE that there is not a conspiracy...?

I find it interesting too, but why now? He had eight years to request info of the Clinton administration. Unfortunately, with the media, just an association is seen as sticking to a subject, something Podesta knows very well.

[twigs]

Hubbel's first instructions... you are kidding, aren't you?

[Poohbah]

That's what ol Web claimed in his book...

[RoughDobermann]

I'd guess that the fact that there are $$$$ involved now, his motivation has changed somewhat.

[Poohbah]

OK, second possibility: this was a classified test that went awry. Ours or theirs--either way, it still may pertain to systems deployed now.

[twigs]

Just speechless. Shouldn't be though. I knew these people were evil, but I didn't think of them as, um, well, as touched. What was his justification? And what is the name of his book? Is it worth reading?
