Nature Mag reports findings by a scientist suggesting Army Scientist Bruce Ivins may not have been the sole cause of the Anthrax attacks, or might not have had anything to do with them at all, so much for the open and shut case. Bush had quickly closed the case saying it was a special batch. Surprise! Further investigation proved that Ivins did not make the special batch which later showed up in three letters including the New York Post. In fact, they didn't match what he allegedly took to kill himself at all - case NOT at all closed!
Under Cover Of Darkness Gate: Def. Secretary Gates lifts the ban on media coverage at Dover Airforce Base, it will now be at the discretion of the families, and about time. You may recall that when each and every one of the soldiers
who'd paid the ultimate price, came home to England, a horse drawn hearse and much pomp accompanied them, often the Queen herself. Meanwhile, here at Dover, not only was there no official show of mourning and salutation, a ban was placed on
photographing the plane loads of flag draped troops...we wouldn't want the people to get the idea that young people aren't actually coming home! As an added bonus, many parents railed against the "authorities" because they were not allowed to even meet the planes bearing their soldiers home for
the last time.
Katrina-Gate:I believe it smells much worse now - than it did when the levees flooded the city! If it looks like not much is happening, you'd be right. 59% of what was promised to rebuild has not been spent. Managers are being paid $100,000 to supervise...the estimate is now 15 years.Could the two be related?
I especially find the Old West comment interesting. Should an inept manager still be making that money? How about now....there have been over 80 complaints of sexual and work harrassment - in the past month!
