CSPAN is Great Today! Just finished "Coverup" and
now going to have Ann Lewis on.

Think I'm going to have to buy Coverup - Lance was terrific.

1. Which southern state was that Chuck Todd just said if you vote straight
ticket repub you would NOT vote for Bush and some other of the Repub candidates (judges)? North or South Carolina?

He said the state Repub party had sent out flyers warning people about it.

It could short Bush out some votes from his base.

What the heck is Bush listed as, the idiot party?

2. What's sad is that the same is probably true for Kerry
the ballot is probably set up the same way for the dem side, but NOBODY knows it yet, so the dems haven't even sent out flyers.

3. I think it was North Carolina.
I wasn't listening very carefully though.

8. At least in that state if the Republicans vote straight party ticket then
they will NOT have voted for Bush.

Chuck Todd (The Hotline) didn't explain why, what Bush was listed as, or if someone else was listed under the Republican Presidential Candidate.

I remember in Florida Bush missed the deadline for registering as a candidate to be on their ballot (of course, it doesn't matter because his bro put him on it anyway). They must have somehow screwed up how he is listed on their ballots in that state.

I have my absentee ballot for my state and voting straight party is an option. After hearing this, I think I will definitely vote for each race individually instead of straight party.

5. What is cover up about? I found this story , is this it or somthing else?


FBI Conspiracy Cover Up by 9/11 Commission
by SIBEL EDMONDS

FBI Conspiracy Cover Up by 9/11 Commission FBI corruption and the 9/11 Commission cover-up by Thomas Kean et al are detailed in the following letter by FBI whistleblower Sibel D. Edmonds

(snip)
Melek Can Dickerson had on going relationships with two individuals who were FBI’s targets of investigation. For months Melek Can Dickerson blocked all-important information related to these semi-legit organizations and the individuals she and her husband associated with.

She stamped hundreds, if not thousands, of documents related to these targets as ‘ Not Pertinent.’ Melek Can Dickerson attempted to prevent others from translating these documents important to the FBI’s investigations and our fight against terrorism.

Melek Can Dickerson, with the assistance of her direct supervisor, Mike Feghali, took hundreds of pages of top-secret sensitive intelligence documents outside the FBI to unknown recipients.

Melek Can Dickerson, with the assistance of her direct supervisor, forged signatures on top-secret documents related to certain 9/11 detainees.

After all these incidents were confirmed and reported to FBI management, Melek Can Dickerson was allowed to remain in her position, to continue the translation of sensitive intelligence received by the FBI, and to maintain her Top Secret clearance.

Apparently bureaucratic mid-level FBI management and administrators decided that it would not look good for the Bureau if this security breach and espionage case was investigated and made public, especially after going through Robert Hanssen’s case (FBI spy scandal).

This case (Melek Can Dickerson) was confirmed by the Senate Judiciary Committee ( Please refer to Senator Leahy and Grassley’s letters dated June 19 and August 13, 2002, and Senator Grassley’s statement on CBS-60 Minutes in October 2002, provided to your investigators in January-February 2004).

6. "Coverup"
is a new or recent book by some guy whose last name is Lance. A former ABC reporter and also a TV writer who dropped everything to write this book which charges the 9/11 commission is a coverup. He details failures of everyone, especially Bush. He made a compelling case that the commission didn't do enough.

Spoke of many lapses - especially FBI and Tenet. -
