I wonder when we in this country will be required to use EZ-Pass (as well as to carry cell phones.)

Ivins was not a loner. But, in order to make that stick, FBI has to suppress references to his family.

The way forward for all of them has been killing and imprisoning as many Americans as possible.

The record of ICE, BOP, and INS officials and their
contract prisons reads like a night with Jack the Ripper.

And we still have a federal judiciary replete with judge who have never practiced a nanosecond of federal law in a federal courtroom.

DOJ makes up its own reality; it’s reenforced by a cowed and compliant judiciary. If you needed any more evidence, read the opinions by the two liahs from North Carolina Sentelle and Karen Lecraft Henderson as they made up their own reality in the D.C. Circuit in kicking Plame and Wison to the curb the other day.

Wilson, Valerie v. Libby, I. Lewis

News flash: The Second Circuit has decided Sua Sponte (on their own with no motion by the parties) to take the Maher case enbanc for a rehearing:

In Extremely Rare Occurence Court Moves to Rehear Case of Canadian Rendition Victim Maher Arar

washed and washed and washed leaving such pure spores that they floated and the silica was present because the spores had consumed silica in the water;
it’s one or the other or neither.

Which is it?

This scientist does not believe that Bruce Ivins had the capability to have produced the stuff:
