What do you think of Kurt Haskell's story?

Posted on 12/31/2009 5:40:46 PM PST by Politics4US

Before on the DrudgeReport there was a story of a passenger on the flight with the bomber, who gave a different account of what happened when the passengers were taken off the plane at the airport than what the FBI is saying. Drudge quickly removed the links. What do you think of his account?

I worry that this guy is telling the truth. That means that Big Sister Janet and Obama are willing to sell us out.

I don’t think he is looking for his fifteen minutes of fame. He saw something that he wants to make sure doesn’t disappear in the usual media reporting cycle. I believe there is a whole lot more to this story that will eventually be reported on sites like Free Republic long before it is reported any where else. If I worked in the news business I would have my staff watch this site constantly. Keep up the fantastic work everyone does here!

God bless and happy New Year!

I think he’s shooting straight. Fox had him on. Another passenger corroborated his story. He’s a lawyer, which at least means he’s educated, which might mean something. And he’s a married man, which adds heft.

They might try to discredit him because the Truth Hurts. He contacted the FBI and told them, or the CIA.

What doesn’t ring true?

Thw Feds have changed their story four times now. He’s sticking with his original story. No changes.

Doesn't everybody have an obligation to believe whatever Obama's cronies are saying at the moment? It's not like the government/media have ever lied before. /s

I would trust a random passenger who was there, more than an FBI mouthpiece. The passenger has nothing to gain by lying. The FBI mouthpiece works for the Ministry of Truth.

That ought to say it all.

The question is, if they are lying, why do they feel the need to lie?

Autocrats like Obama, on the road to totalitarianism, have an inborn pathological obsession with control. They want to control the news, the opinions, the facts, the history. They will lie about inconsequential details just for the sake of constructing the false reality for the masses, and to condition the masses to suspend their own critical judgment.

Don't ask questions, citizens, just drink the kool aid and obey.

The involvement of a swarthy, "sharply dressed" man with the jihadist in Amsterdam and a second one detained upon landing in Detroit (with luggage signaled by the bomb-sniffing dog) blows to hell the Administration's insistence that this is just the work of a single, generic "extremist." It makes the whole thing look more like a sophisticated, well-organized, well-funded act of Islamic terrorism and, therefore, a Big Deal failure on the part of those keeping America safe.

Islamic Jihad was supposed to end on the day of Obama's inauguration.

I’m sure we’ll hear plenty of that kind of bogus “debunking.” When I first signed up I recall the same kind of discrediting of anything that was linked to Drudge. When I pointed out that everything on Drudge was simply a link to another source, ranging every major publication on the planet, I got the cricket-chirp reply.

“Why did Drudge remove the links so fast?”

Maybe because TSA agents paid him a visit, too.

Probably the same guy that fired the shot at Pres. Kennedy from the grassy knoll. - Tom

Newsweek Magazine on Janet Napolitano:

She entered Democratic politics in 1991 as an attorney representing Anita Hill during the Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, whom Hill accused of sexual harassment. Napolitano credits the episode with deepening her commitment to electoral politics. “It really did bring home how issues of women really didn't have an avenue to be heard at that time,” she has said.Goldstein, Dana, “Janet Napolitano and the New Third Way,” The American Prospect, July 2008(1)Goldstein, Dana, “Janet Napolitano and the New Third Way,” The American Prospect, July 2008

The question is, if they are lying, why do they feel the need to lie?

The question of whether they are lying is entirely separate from why they are lying. The former can be determined from the eye witness accounts. The latter requires speculation or further investigation.

If it can be established that the Democratic administration is lying, the Republican opposition and the media have an obligation to investigate.

My wife is an expert on Russian history and she has said essentially the same thing about Obama. I, on the other hand, am a student of human nature and organizations, and see in him a malevolent spirit that I doubt he has ever considered, much less examined.

BTW: I have forgotten: when do the buzzards come back to Hinckley? The wife is from NE Ohio, and I lived there, too for a few years while attending one of our better formalized criminal training academies (a/k/a "law school") . Thanks.
