Top Seven Insurgent Lies
All of these are 100% actual, satisfactual verbal exchanges I have witnessed.
Number 7.
Us: Where is your husband?
Them: He died in a car accident.
Us: Who is this guy?
Them: A stranger we invited over to take care of the family.
Number 6.
Us: [in Arabic] What’s your name?
Them: No speak English.
Us: That wasn’t English!
Number 5.
Us: Why do you have someone else’s birth certificate?
Them: I found it on the street.
Number 4.
Them: It wasn’t us that shot at you. It was three other masked men who then jumped in a car and left.
[From three men caught with a trunk full of weapons, after having shot at us.]
Number 3.
Them: This isn’t my ID. It is his (gesturing towards detainee next to him).
Us: Then why is your picture on it?
Number 2.
Us: Why do you plant IEDs in the road?
Them: Because it damages the road and then the Americans fix it and make it better.
And the top insurgent lie I have heard.
Us: Can you show us where Bob (name substitution) lives?
Them: That will create a problem between our families.
Us: Right now you have a problem with us.

Sen. Clinton’s Joint Fundraising Committee Reports Largest Donors
5/11/2006
Sen. Hillary Clinton’s joint fundraising committee during her 2000 campaign, New York Senate 2000, filed amendments on January 30, 2006, reporting Stan Lee provided $225,000 in in-kind concert expenses, and Peter Paul’s two Delaware holding companies Paraversal Inc. and Excelsior Productions Inc. provided $838,902 in concert, dinner and reception expenses. The expenses were for the committee’s Event 39, an August 2000 gala at the time of the Democratic national convention. View pages of amendment report relating to Event 39. In earlier reports the committee's non-federal account had also reported receiving $250,000 each from AFSCME, SEIU, and S. Daniel Abraham.
The committee was a joint fundraising operation and had a federal and non-federal account. The above expenses were reported as a non-federal share. The amendments were required as part of a December 2005 conciliation agreement with the Federal Election Commission. The committee and its treasurer, Andrew Grossman, agreed to pay a $35,000 civil penalty for not filing complete reports.
However, in a phone interview this week, Peter Paul alleged the report filing is still not correct. He alleges that he personally, not his companies or Stan Lee, paid for the in-kind services totaling $1,063,902. Paul filed suit against the former President Clinton and Senator Clinton in February 2004 charging both with conspiring with others to commit fraud, deceit and conspiracy. In October 2004 the California Supreme Court denied review of an appeal by the Clintons to have the case dismissed. The trial is set for March 27, 2007.
On April 7, 2006, Senator Clinton provided a declaration in this case.
Although the federal account of New York Senate 2000 has amended their reports with the Federal Election Commission, the non-federal account (a Section 527 organization) of the committee has not filed corresponding amendments with the I.R.S.

WaPo Editorial in Favor of NSA Datamining
It's not often that I find myself in agreement with a Washington Post editorial:
On Thursday, USA Today reported that three U.S. telecommunications companies have been voluntarily providing the National Security Agency with anonymized domestic telephone records -- that is, records stripped of individually identifiable data, such as names and place of residence. If true, the architect of this program deserves our thanks and probably a medal. That architect was presumably Gen. Michael Hayden, former director of the NSA and President Bush's nominee to become director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
This "betrayal" by the WaPo will no doubt infuriate the Democratic lunatic fringe.
Another curious little facet of what CBS chooses to describe as a "scandal" is the lack of information in the mainstream media about the Qwest chief executive who chose to thumb his nose at the NSA's request for anonymous calling data, Joseph Nacchio. While accounts describe Nacchio as the "former" CEO of Qwest, they tend not to mention why he left. This is why:
Washington, D.C., March 15, 2005 - The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Joseph P. Nacchio, former co-chairman and chief executive officer of Qwest Communications International Inc., and eight other former Qwest officers and employees with fraud and other violations of the federal securities laws. In three separate but related civil actions, the Commission alleges that, between 1999 and 2002, the Qwest defendants engaged in a multi-faceted fraudulent scheme designed to mislead the investing public about the company's revenue and growth.
Interesting, the only communications executive who obstructed the NSA effort is under criminal indictment.
I still think there's a good chance, as I wrote earlier, that the "leak" of the NSA program was deliberate, and designed to force Democrats into the open with their unpopular opposition to lawful surveillance programs.

Snail Mail A Terrorist.
Zacarias Moussaoui has been moved to the Federal Supermax Prison in Florence Co.
CNN : Moussaoui was removed from the Alexandria, Virginia, detention center on Friday night and flown to Colorado on a service nicknamed "Con Air."
A team of deputy U.S. marshals delivered him early Saturday to the federal Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado. The prison is sometimes called the "Alcatraz in the Rockies."
"It is a place of extraordinary security, 23 hours a day in cells, one hour of recreation," CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said at the time of Moussaoui's sentencing earlier this month in U.S. District Court in Alexandria.
"It is as close to permanent solitary confinement as exists in our prison system," Toobin said.
So the rotting has begun. Let’s all send him a note so he really has to dig to find that letter from mommy. Remember be civil (no threats of any kind) and tell him how glad you are that he will never see the light of day. I got his new address here at the FBOP

David Savage Propagandizes Against Brett Kavanaugh

i just ran across this David Savage article about Brett Kavanaugh from last Tuesday. As you no doubt have already guessed, it is propaganda through and through, beginning with the headline:

(UPDATED AND BUMPED) Iranian End Games: Following the Script?
Not that I have any desire to ring the Iran nuclear alarmist bell any moreso than I’ve done already the last two days, but, well...“Pakistan’s former chief of staff: Iran probably has the bomb". Do read the whole thing.
Factor in this information, which comes from Mirza Aslam Beg (who claims to have met with the Iranians concerning nuclear weapons 15 years ago) with the rest of what Iran has been up to of late, and it’s beginning to look a lot like the coming of nuclear winter.
