Keith's Still Bushed featuring FEMA-Gate:
FEMA's been under fire from critics who claim the Gulf Coast recovery is moving too slowly. Now FEMA officials said they're investigating allegations of serious misconduct at the New Orleans office. CBS News has learned workers there accuse their bosses of intentionally holding up Katrina aid.
The Pentagon has decided to rescind a long-standing prohibition against press coverage of returning war dead, allowing families to say whether news organizations may photograph the arrivals, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said Thursday.
The remains of all U.S. service members killed overseas are flown to Delaware's Dover Air Force Base. But photographic images have been prohibited since 1991. The Bush administration rigorously enforced the ban, preventing pictures of troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan from appearing in news coverage.
The new policy will leave it up to the families of slain service members to decide whether to allow the media to photograph the arrival of the remains in Dover.
"My conclusion was, we should not presume to make the decision for the families. We should actually let them make it," Gates said.
And Anthrax-Gate:
Poisonous anthrax that killed five Americans in the weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks doesn't match bacteria from a flask linked to Bruce Ivins, the researcher who committed suicide after being implicated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a scientist said.
Spores used in the deadly mailings "share a chemical 'fingerprint' that is not found in the flask linked to Bruce Ivins," Roberta Kwok wrote in Nature News, citing Joseph Michael, a scientist at the Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Michael analyzed letters sent to the New York Post and offices of Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy, and found a distinct "chemical signature" not present in the flask known as RMR-1029, which Ivins could access in his laboratory at Fort Detrick, Maryland.

don't ever let that smirking piece of excrement off the hook. for what he rove and cheney have done, incarceration is too good for them.
go after him, make some noise. there are many here who would follow your lead, and the powers that be only move when they feel there is a movement behind them or something to gain.
put this melt down in play to keep them tied up so they don't have much time to go after them. I read where 62% of Americans want them in Prison. The world % is even higher!!
I'd love to know who was really behind those anthrax attacks. I strongly suspect it was the Cheney faction of the government.
letters, Dashl and the other dem. both of them said they would Not vote for the, that bill bush wanted untill they read it. after the letters, they voted for it. makes one wonder.
The bushco cabal are the real terrorists.
Put the fear O' Gawd into the few Dems who might not accept the Bush version of fascism lite.
had done and he just walks away????????????????And WE are paying for his retirement!!!!!!!!!! Just like todays CEO's. fuck up evry thing and get "REWARED FOR IT" GOD DAMN, when a real worker has F-ed something up, they kick you out the door yesterday.
So in other words, our government wrongly tarred and feathered Bruce Ivins publicly, which in turn caused the Court of Public Opinion to drag his good name through the mud, and with nowhere to turn to avoid glaring eyes and wagging tongues, the poor man had to resort to suicide? That's just grand.
I'm sure the carnage the last administration caused over the last 8 years is only just beginning to emerge, and this is the proverbial tip of the iceberg. Heaven only knows what other revelations will be revealed but I have to say in all honesty, I'm SO VERY GLAD that Bush & Co. are gone.
did to the guy at the Olympic Games. they had the wrong, but they let his name slip and the press was all over it. then after he was draged throught the mud they cought the right guy.
I mean that's the official story right?
But I bet he may have been suicided.
they want you Gone, you will be gone. The guy who was a PC nerd who was going to tell congress about the lelction in Ohio and the black box voting was kilt in a small plain crash, sure he was.
That the TWO most deadly Anthrax Letters were sent to PATRICK LEAHY and T.DASHL who were oppousing the most to sign on The PATRIOT ACT which allowed spaying on THE PRESS and JOURNALIST meaning possible wisle blowers on the 9-11 COUP?
I think LEAHY never bought this LIME!
Patrick Leahy that Dick chineeee said, go fuck yourself.
I believe it was.
Leahy that's asking for a truth commission now.
Both of them signed the PARIOT ACT the very next day after the letters. Wouldn't you?
I would have done something stupid and they most likley would have had me wacked. you knoe car crash, small plain crash, shot myself in the back----9 times.
Recently a wisle blower spoke at DEMOCRACY NOW that they were spying 24x7 on the MEDIA.Do you remember ?
Why?
if the media is not a possible "terrorist"
It's important when you're screwing a country, and breaking laws.
The media is still 'working' for Bushco as far as i can see. The media are zombies for the moment at least. I hear the death toll for media reporters is way over the top...
They won't be gone until they're in Federal Prison. jmo
Hell NO, do not send them to a Fed Prison. Send them to a State Prison, and do not give them P C. Make them wals an Open Yard. I give them less than 24 hr. Then again, they might like the SEX, they are repugs.
Let's also look into the death of the DC madam.
BOOK that would have been. wonder if she kept notes and I wonder who has them.....
is looking into the shit bush his crim crew, I would like him look in to Pat Tillman getting murdered. 3 rounds in his forhead from 20 yards, sure!
Never forget.
that should be changed is that Mr. Obama should go out of his way to make time to routinely attend the funerals of those killed in these wars. He should do it as a sign of respect for the dead and as a way to personally remind himself that people are paying a price for policies.
If you look at only the evidence made public, you will clearly see that the shabbily concocted, although extensively-promoted, story of Bruce Ivins is so full of holes it is amazing that this very serious crime is never really investigated.
There are so few people capable of creating such unique spores that it defies logic that all leads weren't exhausted. It was if they were looking the other way on purpose.
No compelling evidence placed Ivins at the scene of the crime, nor linked him to the spores used to kill five people. The obvious anti-arab note is just as incriminating as the mountain of hijack evidence left in the trunk of Atta's rental car.
It's funny how people will dismiss any inferences of those events as conspiracy, yet those same people are willing to swallow the unsubstantiated, official conspiracy story without question.
I think Glen Greenwald did an excellent job of reporting on this as the FBI's concocted case was trotted out to the public.
That Irvins did it because he "Hated Pro - Abortion Liberals"
This is a nice History Channel program. Part 1/4

Wikipedia:
"The letters were addressed to two Democratic Senators, Tom Daschle of South Dakota and Patrick Leahy of Vermont. At the time Daschle was the Senate Majority leader and Leahy was head of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Both were identified in the media as holding up the proposed Patriot Act because of concerns that some parts of it would violate civil liberties".
"The material in the Senate letters was a highly refined dry powder consisting of about one gram of nearly pure spores. Earlier reports described the material in the Senate letters as "weaponized" or "weapons grade" anthrax".
OOOOOPS!
Hmmmm, I wonder which member of the MIC gave the weapons grade anthrax to the murderer(s)...
The first two names on my list of suspects are Cheney and Rumsfeld.
But those crooks are still free and wating for their return in 2012. Could they try doing something similar and then, the media will blame OBAMA as "Soft on Terror"? (By the way both Cheney and Bolton have recently spoken about that "Terrorist attack" scenario).
I don't doutb it!
You know that's what it was.
a) the timing couldn't have been coincidental, to maximise fear.
b) you don't just make this stuff in your basement.
c) if there was a loony out there, where is he now?
d) why hasn't there been a single attack since?
Mike.....you da damn SLOB of Bisbee
these days besides indulging in Social Lubricant?
