Officers of the United States Government should be on trial -- not PFC Bradley Manning.

254. Thanks for that Refresher....Amazing what goes down the rabbit hole of

memories when there is such short attention span by MSM due to cut backs in print media reporting and reporters plus fluff news distraction by Cable/Networks.

Connecting the Dots and Big Picture analysis is lost when we are constantly assaulted by distraction and emphasis on endless battling campaigns of Red vs. Blue Political Elections heavily spiced with Kardashian/Celebrity Porn. Meanwhile our endless "War on Terror Across the World chugs along , Wall Street Corruption investigation results in a fine for accepting a slap on the hand instead of prosecution while our Standard of Living for the 99% further declines.

I remember all the reporting about Duke Cunningham, Dusty Foggo and the rest. Josh at TPM was all over it at the time. DU was active in following it at the time.

Thanks for the "Connect the Dots," Octafish. Your posts are always a refresher for inquiring minds--giving extensive informative links that jar our memories.


I wonder what ever happened to those "continuing investigations?"

Tens of thousands of pages of congressional documents going as far back as 1997 have been demanded by the U.S. Attorney's Office in San Diego. The C.I.A., Pentagon, I.R.S., and F.B.I. are conducting investigations, and at least three congressional committees are cooperating in hopelessly tardy fashion. "We are scrubbing" is how a staffer on the intelligence committee puts it. Washington is unraveling.
