I don’t remember this either....buried or just nobody caring a year ago?

[Earthdweller]

People were scanning all kinds of things like this last year. I can't believe it would have been missed. It's almost like it just appeared to cover someones behind.

I'm still trying to deduct logically if it's legit or not. Do you remember this story?

[Jet Jaguar]

I remember the story. I know there are posts and articles here that reference it.

But, I know, I missed this one.

Weird.

Nothing concrete as of now. I did, however, first run across this article on Dr. Taitz's new site:

Shot at close range, 11 PM on a Thursday night. He had recently exited the church, with a muffin and a bottle of water.

The web is curiously devoid of much mention. Quarles Harris is, however, also the name of the oldest exporter of Port in the world, dating to 1680.

I get the impression, from the name of the church, the location of the church, etcetera, that the victim was black.

That’s about all I could dredge up in a short search.

It isn’t old enough for that, here it is in the google cache

Thanks. Googling his name shows he was killed on April 19, 2008.

He was being implicated in a ring of people who were lifting identities from the State Dept. passport files to issue fraudulent credit cards, etc. He said he had a co-conspirator in the Passport Office for these thefts.

Real conincidence that he gets off’ed two wekks after saying that.

Here is a better url to use with your post

That Google cache is from a week ago though:

"It is a snapshot of the page as it appeared on Apr 11, 2009 11:26:57 GMT. The current page could have changed in the meantime. Learn more"

Exactly, very strange that this happened so quickly after he made the statement relating to passports, and then to have so little coverage...you would think that at least some publication other than the Washington Times would have at least mentioned it.

[dila813]

Sounds like they are trying to point this to Cheney, find that really interesting.

[rxsid]

I recall this story of the passport ‘break in’, but definitely nothing regarding this, what appears to be clearly an assassination.

[rxsid]

Perhaps I missed that news cycle.

[Earthdweller]

Same here.

[RegulatorCountry]

Those teddy bears, strung up by the neck on a power pole, with deflated black balloons, are sort of creepy.

[dila813]

oh, this is jucy

from url:
Passport application data includes details such as a person’s date and place of birth, e-mail address, mailing address, Social Security number, former names and travel plans.

[Shady Ray]

And this one even mentions Quarles Harris by name, as well as his connection to the State Dept., prior to his death...wonder if the arrest and resulting publicity was what sealed Harris' fate.
