&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember when Joe lied to the people of CT saying he wanted our troops out of Iraq? And that things were going well there? Where’s the media calling him out on THAT. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They may call it politics. I call it fraud.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What are the chances of Connecticut recalling Leiberman?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;A&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-438157&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;squirrel hiller @ 68 &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;with the death of gerald ford i expected someone to compare and contrast:&lt;br /&gt;
vietnam and iraq&lt;br /&gt;
nixon crimes and bush crimes&lt;br /&gt;
impeachment then and now&lt;br /&gt;
but, no, i haven’t heard a peep.&lt;br /&gt;
what the hell is going on in this country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AMEN!!!  I’ve wondered the same.  How could we create an effective demand for such coverage?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Peace to the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Monday morning from Editor and Publisher article at Flashpoint tells of how the local newspaper forced open closed court files.&lt;br /&gt;
Wonder if there is information about other media modeling such behaviors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003526262&quot;&gt;http://www.editorandpublisher......1003526262&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want multiple impeachments to begin and all the military to come home and all the war profiteers jailed and all the stolen gains&lt;br /&gt;
returned and triple fines as someone suggested yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Peace to the world.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Exploding the not as deadly as Vietnam myth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vietnam was 4 times longer (13 years vs 3).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vietnam had 4 times as many troops (500k vs 140k)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3000 x 4 x 4 = 48,000 close to the 58,000 casualties of Vietnam.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;No one should believe a syllable that comes out of Lieberman’s mouth.  &lt;b&gt;Lieberman is a consummate and practiced liar.&lt;/b&gt;  I want to see him publicly and nationally denounced and shunned.  I wish him ousted from every committee he’s been allowed to chair.  For these chairmanship accolades given to the pig Lieberman, we have Harry Reid to thank.  For assuring Lieberman (CfL) the luxuries of a seasoned democratic senator, we have Harry Reid to thank.  No one is more angry at Lieberman than the CT democrats, who did &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; vote for him.  The REAL democrats! My advice to Harry Reid, for cushioning Lieberman’s fall, is to grow some balls!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Bush’s Mysterious ‘New Programs’&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The administration has not only the right, but the duty, in my opinion, to pursue Fifth Column movements,” Graham, R-S.C., told Gonzales during Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on Feb. 6.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    “I stand by this President’s ability, inherent to being Commander in Chief, to find out about Fifth Column movements, and I don’t think you need a warrant to do that,” Graham added, volunteering to work with the administration to draft guidelines for how best to neutralize this alleged threat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    “Senator,” a smiling Gonzales responded, “the President already said we’d be happy to listen to your ideas.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Note that in the DHS “Swift Luck Greens” photos, the mine facility is known as the “East Annex” - Rag Shoshone coal mine closed Thursday. August 30, 2000.&lt;br /&gt;
In 2000 – this was the production rate for the mine: Tons of Coal Mined in 2000: 1,209,795&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s locate here:&lt;br /&gt;
Latitude: 41.92  Longitude: -106.521944&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The facility was apparently acquired by the Army and DHS and has since been converted to a FORCED LABOR PRISON CAMP FOR ENTIRE FAMILIES according to the photos featured in the link provided.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Civilian Inmate Labor Program -&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Civilian Inmate Labor Program is a program of the United States Army provided by Army Regulation 210-35[1]. The regulation, first drafted in 1997 and went under a “rapid act revision” in January 2005, provides policy for the creation of labor programs and prison camps on Army installations. The labor would be provided by persons under the supervision of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prison camps&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The regulation also sets forth policy for the creation of prison camps on Army installations. These would be used to keep inmates of the labor programs resident on the installations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In January 2006, Kellogg, Brown and Root reported that they had received a contract from the Department of Homeland Security to expand ICE DRO facilities “in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs.”[3] A February news article comments that the “new programs” mentioned could include the Civilian Inmate Labour Program.[4] ICE has “joint federal facilities” with the Federal Bureau of Prisons.[5]&lt;/p&gt;
