Re: Report explains how Plume was outed

Posted By Brett Wylie
I agree with Bush on this..other then asking for a continued investigation, I think the Dems should shut up about resignations and such..this is just plain stupid until the investigation is concluded. When it's all over, it could bite them in the rear end if they are wrong about Rove. That said, I personally think Rove should not be discrediting someone in such away...ie..Wilsons' wife never should have been mentioned anyhow!...even if it wasn't a breach of law...discredit someone by having better facts about Niger's uranium trade, a better argument about the Iraq War, etc.... wink

Nuremberg Trials

Posted By Brett Wylie
At the end of world war II, the survivors of those responsible for mass murder were put on trial. They didn't deserve a trial, but the world deserved to watch them be tried. It was identified as a major propaganda tool as well. "They"(the trials) were meant to send several messages...just a few of which are...the reaffirmation of the rule of law in a sane society (world); the "outing" of those responsible for the decade of war proceeding with the subsequent death and torture of millions of innocent human beings; and, that those who would perpetrate such acts against humanity will eventually be brought to justice to serve for their crimes.

Displaying the gathered evidence to the world leaves no doubt what had occured and who were responsible...except to a very small minority. There will always be some of "those".

Re: Friendly Dictators

Gee Ray..if it's in our own political/economic interest to be friends with a "few" sadistic demented "leaders" that use their own folk for target practice, scientific experiments, or for inserts into human size garbage disposal units...what's the problem? :S At least we don't like Fidel cuz of his human rights violations. Where in the book does it say we have to be consistent? I have some hope even for that. Maybe someday will get a president who really likes cigars (remember Teddy?), and the Cuban embargo will finally be lifted. China..now there's a model for our inconsistency...you just have to get in the right mind set...think "market" and "cheap labor" and forget "threat" and "mass murder". 8O

S&L debacle

Posted By Brett Wylie
Tis old news I realize..Savings & Loan..
But what's the opinion on the responsibility for this mess?
How much fraudulently lost $ was ever recovered back to the victims...?
Who ended up being prosecuted..and has there been any reforms enacted to prevent something similar happening again?

Re: Will Libs renonce RFK Jr?

Posted By Brett Wylie
Right Jim..your calling RFK, jr. a kook? This guy has more brains and careful thought, especially regarding science and the environment, in his pinkey finger, then Bush has in his whole noggin. 8O
If he did say this I'd guarantee my bottom dollar it was never said as a serious "take me for my word" scientific statement!

And talk about a source..."huffingtonpost"..need I say more! :S
Hurricanes are an ocean surface temperature phenomenon..fact! It is predicted within the "Global Warming model" that we will see both greater intensity and more frequent hurricanes hit the U.S. continent. Now..that said..can we say that THIS huuricane was caused by global warming..NO. But a trend has been predicated based on a rise in ocean surface temperature caused by global warming.

If they can be identified!

Just as in the Los Angeles riots, if any of these criminals can be indentified they should be prosecuted to the full extent that the law allows. Witnesses should be interviewed, film/camera/tv should be reviewed..anything to get these people put away...(put up against a wall and shot on the spot is what should happen) >sad
