Christie is the Republican Party candidate for NJ Governor.

NJ governor candidate called before US panel
By ANGELA DELLI SANTI – June 19 2009
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey's Republican candidate for governor has agreed to testify before a congressional subcommittee on white-collar crime settlements he brokered as U.S. attorney.
Chris Christie sent a letter Friday to Rep. John Conyers Jr., chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary, agreeing to testify Thursday in Washington.
The committee wants to hear from Christie on no-bid contracts given to lawyers to oversee deals between the U.S. attorney's office and companies accused of wrongdoing.
Several contracts awarded under Christie's leadership have raised concerns, including his hiring of former Justice Department boss John Ashcroft. Ashcroft's firm made up to $52 million in one deal.

The media, at the apparent control of -- for now -- the Republicans are in the process of rewriting history regarding torture. We are hearing no counter messages on the news in the defense of Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Nancy Pelosi did not commit any torture; if anybody, it was members of the Executive Branch who carried out all interrogations, of course, legal or illegal, but amazingly we are witnessing that a Democratic member of Congress is rapidly becoming molded into the person that the public associates with torture due to the media's incessant one-sided pairing of the words torture and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

How is it that a congressman feels perfectly OK to impugn and mock Congress but not the Executive?

Could it be because a congressman really is in the employ of the Executive and not the Congress? Yes it could.

And if so, what might be the President's goal?

Cinco de Mayo is about the continuing happiness Mexicans enjoyed of successfully forcing out a foreign military from their country in the 1800s.

Here is the background:

During the two terms of President Bush's administration, the US government installed many new US military bases in Middle Eastern countries including Afghanistan and Iraq, and erected new missile defense systems which span across many of the former Soviet-bloc states of "New Europe" which border on Russia.

For those whom the Remember Martha message resonates with, this message is gaining steam, and it carries virtually all the same powerful emotional effects as the phrase Remember 9/11 did for the rest of America. Spitzer literally terrorized an American aristocracy when he was The Prosecutor, launching repeated guerilla attacks and surprise ambushes on the big bad boys, not just the small bad fry. Justice was blind for a while, lashing out with her sword without utterly no regard to wealth, power, or station, and that was deemed definitely NOT OK by those who survived.

The warnings were going straight to President Bush each morning in his briefings by the CIA director, George Tenet, and in the presidential daily briefings. It would later be revealed by the 9/11 commission into the September 11 attacks that more than 40 presidential briefings presented to Bush from January 2001 through to September 10, 2001, included references to bin Laden.

As you recall, anthrax terrorism on Sep 18 and Oct 9, 2001 murdered four Americans who worked at the US Post Office at Hamilton New Jersey. It also sickened hundreds. It may have terrorized millions.

The USA PATRIOT Act vote may well have been affected. The Orwellian-named USA PATRIOT Act passed, in anthrax-tinged circumstances, and became law that same week, as you know.

So what is the status of the federal investigation on the anthrax terrorism?

I have not heard anything.

And I lived, and still live, only six miles down the road from Hamilton.
