Agreed. Luckily, there won't be any foreigners involved this time ..................... FRegards
Timmerman is a great writer plus he takes care of family affairs too. Has five children

Entertainment value aside, something should be done about this. How does all this jibe with whatever importance we as a society place on 'whistleblowing'(needs a better name)?
Kindle Price: $9.99 & includes wireless delivery via Amazon Whispernet
Of course you need the Kindle device which is currently sold out....
************************************
Product summary
The good: Excellent high-contrast screen does a great job of simulating a printed page; large library of tens of thousands of e-books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs via Amazon's familiar online store; built-in free wireless "Whispernet" data network--no PC needed; built-in keyboard for notes; SD card expansion slot; compatible with Windows and Mac machines.
The bad: Design is ergonomic, but not very elegant; pricing for nearly all the content seems too high, especially considering the periodicals and blogs are available for free online; black-and-white screen is fine for books, but less impressive for periodicals and Web content; lacks a true Web browser; included cover is clumsy and poorly designed; additional file formats need to be e-mailed to Amazon for conversion; yet another dedicated device you'll need to lug around with you.
The bottom line: With its free built-in wireless capabilities and PC-free operation, Amazon's Kindle holds a distinct advantage over Sony's Reader and is a promising evolution of the electronic book--but Amazon needs to bring down the pricing for both the device and the content to attract a wider audience.
How could one be aware of the actions of both houses of Congress with the leadership of Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy, Durban, Murtha, Kerry, and the rest of those sorry asses who call themselves Democrats, Progressives and some Republicans, NOT be aware that they were more interested in our defeat than in our victory?????
It appears America’s leftists view America as the enemy - rather than those who wish to destroy America..
A major “correction” of the Congress is in order..
Heehee!! Yer' okay!
Just a word to the wise, I'm anticipating a pretty contentious campaign and election. Does everybody remember the Florida recount fiasco? That got pretty tense. Unless the margins are pretty wide in the 2008 election, we're going to see some "civil unrest." Just my assessment of the current political atmosphere in the nationand the world. All eyes are going to be on the U.S. ... and Free Republic.
"...It's time we recognized the nature of the conflict. It's total war and we are all involved. Nobody on our side is exempted because of age, gender, or handicap. The Islamofacists have stolen childhood from the world." [FReeper Retief]
"...That the totalitarian force pitted against freedom wears a religious makes this civil war among mankind all the more difficult to engage. Loving freedom as we do, it seems reprehensible to deliberate against a religion. But this is no ordinary religion as it demands absolute obedience of all to their religion at the cost of freedom itself." [FReeper Backtothestreets]
We were on duty here in Florida then, Salem. We are legend now.
Florida stopped being a 'battleground' state after 2000, since the 'cheat-machines' were replaced by 2002. Once the dims lost the punch-cards, Florida turned out to be two thirds Republican.
We just do it now for the fun ... and the beer, of course ................................ FRegards
There are problems with firing the entire State Department and CIA.
What I find interesting is that Timmerman could find out all this stuff and yet the Justice Dept. still hasn’t been able to file any charges in these leak cases. The Justice Dept. should be added to the list of depts. that need cleaning out.
