Just a quick, belated follow-up MadDogs.

That link you posted above is really worth anyone’s time to read.
Now in my Bookmarks.
Thx for that one!

Should be OK to leave the cabling, shouldn’t it? Mind you, I’d suggest tracing every cable to see there aren’t any extras.

I know totally EPU’d, but here is the thing re; Indian name for Barak..

‘The Illinois senator who is leading rival Hillary Clinton in their race for the party’s presidential nomination, joined the Crow Nation, a tribe of some 12,100 members in Montana, taking on a native name and honorary parents in a traditional ceremony.

Obama, who would be the first black U.S. president, was “adopted” by Hartford and Mary Black Eagle and given a name which means “one who helps all people of this land.”‘

Klynn,
I’d suggest that you contact the Native American Rights Fund in Boulder, CO,
http://www.narf.org/index.htm

Don’t let the name fool you. They have one of the best staffs of Native American lawyers in the country, and their legal library is well-respected nationally.

Oh, that’s right, there was a “sternly worded letter” wreaking our wrath upon the wrongdoers in the caging scandal.

[sigh]

And the letter went out on our watch, after we voted for change in 2006.

You know it might be time to rattle that cage again, because they are actively working on more caging and caging-like scams right now. If only somebody with speed dial access to Sheldon Whitehouse would give him a buzz…

If the White House has a unique IT system, it could hardly have been tested to the extent that most systems are, could it? It would be highly likely to have significant, exploitable security weaknesses, wouldn’t it?

Oh, now I see MadDog already has answers @ 7.

What a cad; he made Huckleberry actually pay for his rugs in that open air family orientated marketplace in Baghdad.

MadDog - Re the caging. Yep, old stuff. All taken care of now. Sheldon Whitehouse sent a letter.

And totally OT since I’m stumbling across all kinds of things on the Net, did you know that Senator McSame received an Antique sword as a gift from Georgia’s President Mikhil Saakashvili back on 8/26/2006, and that he kept it because “Non-acceptance would cause donor embarrassment”?

He also gets a lot of rugs from Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai (see here and here).

…caging and Griffin — we’ve known about the dead letters evidence for quite a long time…

Must be that swiss cheese memory of mine, but I had never seen those emails and the appropriately criminally named “caging” spreadsheet. *g*

And yeah, when the criminals are in charge of the DOJ, whyever would we expect them to charge themselves.

Yeah, they all had them — and Verizon is likely a Blackberry service provider, too, so she’s probably been carrying on over completely unsecured mobile networks.

RE: caging and Griffin — we’ve known about the dead letters evidence for quite a long time, think that went back to same time Waxman was tearing into Abramoff. But it was never, ever dealt with because of the politicization of the administration offices that would have been responsible for dealing with this. Frustrating.

Worse, you can be certain they are still doing it.
