Lanny Davis Confirms Freeh on FOX!

If you watched FOX Sunday or today you heard dire predictions of environmental disaster due to TOXIC CHEMICALS. Some Prof. at LSU named Ivor van Heerden was quoted with other predictions related to sewage, gasoline spills, etc. So I wondered, how much of an expert is this guy? A quick Google reveals he is much more of an environmental activist than hurricane expert. Email FOX News and tell them to do a better job of who they put on the air. Look at the link. Excerpt: Project X-Change: Baton Rouge After spending most of Friday, May 24, in rural Mississippi,...

To sum up the scandal at Indy Law-Indianapolis for Frontpage readers who haven't followed it until now: This spring Professor William Bradford received a poor vote from the law faculty at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis both on a straw vote for his eventual tenure, and even on a vote simply to retain him as an untenured associate professor for the next three years. This occurred despite the fact that he has an outstanding teaching record (including a teaching award from the law students), an excellent record of service, and a stunning record of publication, including a book, a forthcoming...

Quoting Senator Kennedy: "We now know that from the moment President Bush took office, Iraq was given high priority as unfinished business from the first Bush administration." What are the stubborn facts? The policy to remove Saddam Hussein was not left over from the first Bush administration, but, rather, unfinished business from the Clinton administration. Upon entering office in January of 2001, President Bush inherited from the Clinton administration a policy of regime change. That policy was based upon the 1998 Iraq Liberation Act (P.L. 105-338), which stated, "It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts...

One of the Dems Stars!

Chip Carter (alledged son of Jimmy) just appeared on Hardball with Chris Mathews to voice his support of Howard Dean. If you saw it, did you get the impression that Chip might be a chromosome short here? Man, I heard banjo muisc playing in the background throughout the whole segment!

Korean Reds Hold 200,000 Congress To Hear Testimony Today By ADAM DAIFALLAH Staff Reporter of the Sun WASHINGTON — North Korea is holding more than 200,000 innocent people in 12 secret concentration camps that are the sites of "the worst crimes against humanity in the 21 st century," a survivor of one such camp will tell Congress today. Soon Ok Lee, who defected from North Korean in 1994, was held prisoner in the Kaechon prison camp from 1987 to 1992. In testimony scheduled for delivery today before the House Subcommittee on International Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Human Rights, she will lay...

Since the Saddam Hussein statues were torn down around Iraq, many Israelis have stopped carrying their gas masks despite almost daily exhortations by defense minister Shaul Mofaz to keep them close and not dismantle their sealed rooms since the danger is not over. His concern has draw sneers from some army veterans and pundits, making him the butt of jokes about “overreaction”. Some information about the sinister tools of death that are believed cached in remote al Qaim up against the Syrian border might lead to a better appreciation of the peril. However, Israeli officials are keeping what is known...

Once again the media -which is almost genetically anti-Bush- has whipped itself into hysteria fueled by the hope that he will fail. I believe their hatred of him is the motivator and they are indulging in a kind of optimism that this will be his Waterloo. The most obvious comparison is of course Modo and Afghanistan. But my point is that the more they screech that we are losing, the GREATER the glory of victory. They are walking into a political trap of their own making. I believe they are about to make utter fools of themselves one more time....

DRUDGE IS REPORTING: One of the FBI’s most-wanted terrorists says that Brooklyn’s Jewish neighborhoods were the original targets of the men convicted of bombing the World Trade Center in 1993. Abdul Rahman Yasin, in his first interview, says fellow bombers Ramzi Yousef and Mohammed Salameh decided instead to attack New York’s Twin Towers because they believed most of its occupants were Jewish. Yasin, who was indicted in the bombing but escaped, was interviewed by Lesley Stahl in an Iraqi installation near Baghdad last Thursday (23). Her report will be broadcast on 60 MINUTES Sunday, June 2 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on...

So my fellow Freepers, here is the sickening part, a U.S. taxpayer funed prof, Julie Sudbury, from Mills College in Oakland, Calif., said: "Sept. 11 has created a blank slate for global domination of the Bush agenda of militarism and global capitalism ... He's no longer the Texas hangman. He appears to have become the global hangman."

The hijack suspects: ordinary neighbours. WASHINGTON, Sept 15 (AFP) - Friendly neighbors, serious students and model dads: the men suspected of hijacking the jets that carried out history's deadliest terror strikes looked a lot more like the guy next door than the incarnation of the devil. The most disturbing common element that has emerged from the FBI investigation into the 19 men who are now believed to have cold-bloodedly rained destruction on the US political and economic capitals is how ordinary their behaviour was. They were aged between 21 and 40. They were of Arab extraction. Many had lived for ...

We won't be certain that Congressman Gary Condit is guilty until Alan Dershowitz defends him. But the possibility that Condit wasn't involved in the disappearance of intern Chandra Levy grows more remote with each passing day. And not only because of who's already defending him. Because you can't turn on the TV without seeing breaking news on the Levy investigation, this is like explaining who "John Kennedy Jr." was, but: Levy is the 24-year-old graduate student from the University of Southern California who had just finished her internship with the federal Bureau of Prisons and was about to head back ...
