		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;So why doesn’t Schlozman and Van Spakovsky ignore the subpoena like&lt;br /&gt;
Mukasey with the Waxman dance?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Speaking of various things and Mukasey, I recall reading about Miller &amp; Mylroie’s book about the ‘93 WTC bombing and the following trials and that the judge in that(those) case(cases) was Mukasey.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A significant connection at the roots or just coincidence?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I’m kind of suspicious about Cheney’s reported paranoia about anthrax.  What better way to disassociate than to show fear?  Given Cheney stories are always second hand, couldn’t even the best reporters and investigators just be played?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;I hadn’t realized that “Germs” came out so recently, and in such a timely manner: Oct. 2, 2001.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;William Safire called it “the most important book of the year.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Consider what we’re now thinking about the connection between her and Libby and GERMS and then look at her other book(s). How do they indicate a tie-in to the administration and it’s many different activities?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Didn’t she co-author one about the first Gulf war with Laurie Mylroie?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps, “first had their roots connect” over bioterrorism.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This additional connection between them clearly indicates it was more than a personal fling or just politics or even a possible pay-for-info type of relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m wondering, is “Miller” her maiden name?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;So the Shooter was willing to kill 300 to 600 people to satisfy his paranoia.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pocket change, when you consider the million or so people he’s been willing to kill in Iraq.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;FBI Director Mueller participated in the briefing of the families of victims for two hours today.  G-man Persichini won’t comment on the reaction of the families.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Press keeps asking, how do you know Ivins acted alone?  Taylor repeats “the totality of the  evidence.”  In other words, it had to be him.  At one point, Taylor actually said Ivins was acting guilty, throwing out a book about pathogens when he knew he was under surveillance.  Is Taylor as inept as he appears to be or was this just a horribly ineffective investigation which has left him with a bad case and they want to dump it? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When did you learn Ivins was suicidal?  Taylor claims FBI, on 24×7 surveillance,  kept Ivins from harming other people but not himself… with no explanation that they were concerned he might try to harm other people.     &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then Pow! the press conference ended abruptly.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The DOJ is saying to the public, &lt;em&gt;“We’re convinced, if you are not, that’s your problem.  Figure it out yourself.  Here, read this.  We’re finished.”  &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To open the press conference up, Taylor used the language of process, being in the process of wrapping this up, and then after the process is complete, it will have been wrapped up.  They are trying to sell this because they have nothing else.  No Sale.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want to hear from scientists about the scientific method they pioneered to uniquely ID Ivins anthrax.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Um well, Maybe kirk would be more of an authority here, but as to conflict of interest, a psychiatrist once told me that a psychiatrist who works for an insurance company, supervising how many visits a patient can get, is No Longer a Doctor.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This administration has a unique track record for cherry picking evidence and politicizing prosecutions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And that’s an understatement.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;She was a narcotics group AUSA for most of her career; should be rather curious to determine how exactly she came suddenly to be some counter-terrorism pro.  Hey, I’ve done drug cases for twenty years, maybe I am a counter-terrorism pro too! Oh, and by the way, her father works with and for the ultimate right wing fixer, James Baker at Baker Botts.  And double oh, so does her husband, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.washingtonian.com/articles/people/1678.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this guy&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;10. Christopher R. Casey Cooper, 39. Cooper was born into one of the most prominent black families in Mobile, Alabama. His father co-owned an insurance and funeral-home business. Caseys aunt is Peggy Cooper Cafritz, a doyenne of Washington society and head of the DC school board.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cooper shares the reserve that comes from wealth. He graduated from Yale and went to Stanford law school, where he was president of its law review.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He came to Washington to clerk for thenchief judge on the US Circuit Court of Appeals, Abner Mikva, then worked for deputy attorney general Jamie Gorelick, whom he had met while a summer associate at Gorelicks law firm. At Justice he worked on a task force investigating church burnings in his home state. He returned to Miller Cassidy, now Baker Botts, in 1997 as an associate, working closely with star white-collar lawyer William Jeffress while dating Jeffresss daughter, assistant US Attorney Amy Jeffress. They are now married.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cooper has represented the royal family of Saudi Arabia in suits stemming from the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. He currently represents Michael Scanlon, a lobbyist alleged to have attempted improper influence of members of Congress.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bill Jeffress, one of the attorneys for indicted White House aide Scooter Libby, is one of the best-known criminal-defense attorneys in Washington. His partner and son-in-law is said to be more than capable of filling his shoes one day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
