Remember the loving kiss between Hillary and Arafat's wife. Remember the Oil For Food money. There were just to many deals going on here that might have been squelched by an investigation. There was just too much money and power at stake. The Clintons (both of them) would sell their own mothers to the devil (if they haven't already been bought) for power and money. Their country would be small potatoes to them.

The chair we should make for him should be modeled along the lines of Ol Sparkey.

Slightly off topic.

This will make you sick.

Credit MizSterious:
Harboring bin Laden, but hesitant to sever diplomatic ties with the U.S. completely, the Taliban claimed there was insufficient evidence to convict bin Laden of terrorism, going so far as to say that Saddam Hussein was behind the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam.

Credit TexasCajun:
The CIA's former Bin Laden desk chief revealed Thursday night that Clinton administration lawyers warned counterterrorism agents that Osama bin Laden had to be kept as comfortable as possible if they captured him during planned raids into Afghanistan. "The lawyers were more concerned with bin Laden`s safety and his comfort than they were with the officers charged with capturing him," former Bin Laden desk chief Michael Scheuer told MSNBC's "Hardball.

"We had to build an ergonomically designed chair to put him in, [for] special comfort in terms of how he was shackled into the chair," Scheuer explained. "They even worried about what kind of tape to gag him with so it wouldn`t irritate his beard."

Good memory. I'd forgotten about Millis. With the Clintonites, I don't think any suspicion is out of bounds. They are absolutely capable of anything.

Actually, yes. Just click on the post number, e.g. 33, and when it refreshes then bookmark. Thanks for asking!

Wow, Alamo-Girl, thanks!  You always have good material.  I knew you would have something on Millis but I couldn't find my bookmark!  Thanks for digging!

Just for the record, here's one person we can take off the list. Remember Richard Hamilton, the Herndon, VA Dept. of Defense contractor who killed himself and his family in Nov, 2000? We thought at one time he may have been Arkancided because of his DOD connections.  His own father is convinced otherwise.

In Herndon, Smoldering Nuclear Family Explodes; Tormented Father Could See No Way Out
By Tom Jackman

(snip)

At 7:15 a.m., Hamilton called his employer to say he would not be coming in that day. He and Svitavsky (his wife) had just had another "knock-down drag-out," the employer later told Hamilton's father, and Hamilton had said he was leaving this time.

Instead of leaving, though, Hamilton took a Colt .45-caliber pistol and fatally shot his wife and two daughters in the head. Then he splashed kerosene and gasoline around the house, mostly in the room where he kept his prized model train collection.

At 7:50 a.m., he called his parents in central Illinois one last time. He seemed different, somehow "euphoric," his father, Richard W. Hamilton Sr., recalled.

"I just wanted you to know things are bad here," Hamilton told his parents. He told them that he, Bene and the children would not be able to make his parents' 50th wedding anniversary party. He also said the arguing with his wife, in front of their small children, "tore him up." Then he told his parents they might be getting a "bizarre call" from Virginia.

"He was saying goodbye," his father says he knows now.

Then Rick Hamilton ignited the house, walked into the garage and shot himself in the head.

(snip)

Gelles said that those of the latter type often "put out a certain notice that this was all unfolding." And sure enough, two days before the shootings, Hamilton despairingly told a longtime friend, "I might as well just shoot everybody and burn the house down." The friend had heard such talk before and gently shifted the conversation.

Hamilton's friends think it was a combination of those factors: a quiet, uncommunicative man who, though intelligent, couldn't picture any other escape. His parents think anti-depressant medication pushed him over the edge.

"Knowing the pain which his little girls would endure, the anxiety of separation, the almost impossible financial hurdle, his chemically altered brain seemed to find the perfect solution and in minutes, destroyed everything that was precious in his life," Richard Hamilton Sr. said.

(snip)

This one happened during 2000, that period of time when people connected with Clinton were dying left and right. (Charles Ruff, John Millis, Robert Damus, etc.).

BTW, let this be a heads-up to everyone to pay attention when a friend is throwing out overt or covert clues of an upcoming suicide.  Sometimes we blow them off because we don't feel comfortable talking about it.

Thank you so much for the additional information on Hamilton! I'm glad the tidbits on Millis were helpful!

This is the wife of John Millis:
In February 2001, Ms. Linda Millis joined Business Executives for National Security as Vice President for New Tools, New Teams for New Threats. Ms. Millis brings over 18 years of experience in intelligence and national security affairs to her position at the helm of BENS’s newest term. In her role as Vice President, Ms. Millis leads BENS action in the areas of domestic preparedness for bioterrorism, critical infrastructure protection, financial tracking, intelligence reform, and US/Russian non-proliferation programs.
Jamie S. Gorelick is also a member of BENS.
