Something else that i wanted to mention was the Presidential directive of the DoD’s CIFA or counterintelligence field activities–the Bush Moron (Get a Brain! Morans) authorized Rumskull to engage in some pretty dirty business

Bush and his junta likely believed the AUMFs (Public Laws 107-40 re terrorism and 107-243 re Iraq) in concert with the NSDs 9 and 17 gave them ample authority to move efforts from CIA to DIA/DOD. We the people should have been pressing to modify/yank and reissue limited AUMFs in light of the changed circumstances on the ground and the length of time since the originals were issued. Eight years for the “war on terrorism” and six years for the Iraq War are far too long without revisiting the goals and the tools used to achieve them.

LooHoo (55) - Maybe we ought to get her one of these, or one of these two variations, to accompany the lunchbox…

You’d need lot’s of wine coolers. Gets damn hot in the Summer. Sadly I don’t think Lodi had all the wineries back in those days.

So should the same hold true of former Marxists (or still card-carrying Maoists) who are in power? That hasn’t been US policy for more than half a century. It would mean never meeting or speaking with with Jiao-ji Bao or Medvedev.

Constitutionally and legally Zelayo’s still President. The fact that the military and members of the opposition feared that the Constitutional referendum might actually pass by 2/3rds vote suggests just how unpopul√r this coup likely is amongst the Honduran people. ‘Course whatta they know…they’re just “peon Indios”.

The only way I’ll be impressed with an HPSCI letter is if it’s written on the back of a subpoena and delivered by a Sheriff.

Boxturtle (But I’m a commoner. That wouldn’t impress an elected or appointed offical)

There’s a diary up on DK about David Kelly’s death (UK bio-weapons inspector). Didn’t he correspond with Judy Judy Judy? I remember wondering at the time if she didn’t have something to do with his death.

Yes, I was funnin’. I was just toddling off and thought I would toss one more fulsome joke into the mix.

fatster @ 39 & 40: I somehow missed that CCR song, because I had to look Lodi up. Sounds like a good place to be stuck irl — all that wine.

Buy it for her. I can see her at her next award dinner toting her laptop and her lunchbox!

She could use it as a purse. Put it under her notes at the podium! The possibilities are absolutely endless.

Airport security would take a bit longer, perhaps…

(and skdadl is funning)
