HotFlash @ 111CIA manuals say the easiest way to off someone with minimal investigation is defenestration. Throw `em out the window from a high place. Almost always determined by the coroner to be suicide.

I wonder if that’s what happened to the USC kicker in California? Is someone that into fixing football game outcomes?

I’m pretty sure that the old cold-war stuff has not stopped, ….

Back when Bush 41 was pres I kept saying,, “Don’t you think it’s odd that the Pres of the US is the former head of the CIA and the pres of the Soviet Union is the former head of the KGB and they’d look at me like, huh? So, are they right? Is any of this stuff connected?

Great point. I wonder how many people DON’T know that.

It’s “spooky”.

Kinda makes ya wonder if those guys used their spy-biz knowledge to get elected/appointed/into-office. Seems likely, eh?

Well, so much for Democracy. It was nice while it lasted, I suppose. Dead Democracy walking?

Can it be saved?

PC – Anything to the claims of possible blackmail attempts?

They just didn’t think the polonium would be discovered.

thanks lhp, re: exec agreements – yes, I missed quite a lot for about 6 weeks after the election (personal business & singular focus on eye-rack)

have been missing Mary, what is she using for a handle these days ?

Oh, and good morning everyone. And as of this morning’s weigh in, I am 3 lbs away from losing 100 lbs. I have no clothes left that fit. :)

That’s a true feat of will! Wish I had that kind of mind-power over mouth ;-) To give you a warning tho’……my cousin has lost considerable lbs in the last year & is now having problems finding clothing at the quality/style/price she needs. Do you have access to a large resale store? Sometimes very good items available that at least meet the quality/price criteria, especially if you expect any additional size reductions.

Mornin’ Firedogs -

has this been discussed previously ?

Put The Blame on Plame, boys

A CIA panel has told former officer Valerie Plame she can’t write about her undercover work for the agency,

my initial thought was something like this could prejudice a jury -

No this is a pattern that is going on by the Admoin to silence whistleblowers. I know former DOJ people who have had books held up for more than a year for “security review” (a proccess that used to take a coupple weeks for an article and a couple months for a book). They are being toldthey cannot write or speak even if they stay entirely withing the parrameters of previuosly cleared publicaions.
Did you miss the whole flap with the ex-CIA agent with the NYTimes article a couple/few weeks ago?

It’s not just CIA. It’s anyone who signed an “Executive Agreement”

More abise of the classifiaction process. Mary is SOOOOO right
