A New York Post article last week (wed) on Jack Kemp's questioning by the Justice Department regarding the oil-for-food scandal, and this little fact jumped out at me regarding Samir Vincent, the Iraqi-American who just plead guilty in the oil-for-food scandal:

"Kemp checked out (Samir) Vincent with former Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci. Carlucci vouched for Vincent -- his tennis partner -- as a good guy,"

Frank Carlucci is the Chairman of the Carlyle Group. (It's the investment group which includes James Baker, George H. W. Bush, and formerly the Bin Laden family etc.)

So what we have here is an issue the Regressives has been FLOGGING us all with for months which is going to end up right in their lap. The Iraqi Oil-for-Food criminal is right there in the center of the Republican circle of power. Read More

I noticed something really fishy several months back when the Abu Ghraib scandal broke. I did a search for "Lynndie England" in Google's image search and it returned NO RESULTS. I told some of my friends that it made no sense given the frequency of Google's indexing of web pages and other factors. Everyone said I was being paranoid.

So I'm catching up on news tonight and make a stop by the great site cursor.org and they have a link to a Google image search for "Abu Ghraib" vs. a Yahoo image search for "Abu Ghraib". Now I know something is deeply wrong.

Take a second to hit these links and ponder what this means: Read More

Please people of Dailykos, listen to me this one time. I truly believe much of Dkos has become an obstacle to our goals.

I respect and admire so many people that I've encountered in 6 months of visits here, but I've come to realize that although Dkos and its members could move MOUNTAINS with directed action, that is not what has happened and I fear it never will.

I've spent a little while checking the progress of initiatives put forward in diaries here, and I am truly saddened by what I've found. A few kind souls take action, but it looks like too many of us can barely sign online petitions. Great diaries written with care that propose real action, ones which give us all the necessary info to help us move to action, simply fade away, or become bloated with comments and tidbits of info-gossip at best.

On Oct. 30, the New York Times had an important article which stated:

"One last chapter of the investigation by the Sept. 11 commission, a supplement completed more than two months ago, has not yet been made public by the Justice Department, and officials say it is unlikely to be released before the presidential election, even though that had been a major goal of deadlines set for the panel."

It would be really sad if we forgot about it. I'm sure the Bush administration won't remind us, huh?
