Sorry, but you don’t know what you are writing about. Dailey had nothing to do with “extraordinary renditions”. That was handled by the CIA. Persons captured on the battlefield were sent to either Guantanamo or Afghanistan. Dailey is actually a good choice for this job and an honorable man. I’ve worked with him. I’m already on the record as a strong critic of the Bush Administration, but this criticism of Dailey is wrong and misguided.

O.K. so where’s his resume? Should we spring for government transparency or just take someone’s word for it that he’s a guy that’s good for the job?

I can’t help but wonder what Rove, Cheney and Bush are plotting.

If you know their goals you know where they’re headed. What do they value? Mostly money and power and some kind of sense of historical dynasty. What tactics do they use? Mostly polite civility in public and dirty tricks with back-stabbing behind the scenes.

Look for foreign business dealings or campaign finances and sleazy dirty tricks, including more electronic voting machines around the globe.

I don’t know what they might have in mind by gaining power in many other countries, but it can’t be good for us.

I wonder, do they have any hooks into the banking system. Placing Paul Wolfowitz at the World Bank must be part of something nefarious. What do they have in mind (not just for us, but) for the whole world? A New World Order for sure.

The key news from Gary’s book is that we had Bin Laden in our sights but Tommy Franks and JSOC Commander, Dell Dailey, dilly dallied and did not deploy U.S. troops requested by Berntsen to the battle at Tora Bora. We could of had him; we should of had him; but we let Bin Laden get away.

Larry Johnson seems to know of him.

Adie – Spotlighting to the Senate is a great idea! and to some of the more investigative reporters. There’s time to get this debated fully if we make a fuss.

Thanks for your answer. I haven’t had time to do more than dip in & out tonight, but I surely could pass this along to interested parties, or those who SHOULD be interested.

p.s., note that I misspelled your name. Phooey on me, Siun. ;->

OooooooT. I got a response from AllState Insurance after I wrote to them expressing my disapproval of their sponsorship for Anne Coulter’s hate speech:

I think they are beautiful, but then I don’t have to deal with then in real life, up here on the northern plains.

Blub – we’ll be having some very cool coverage of the Padillo trial – watch for news soon!

Cool! And I hope there’s a civil trial after it. Perhaps I’m being too picky here, but I still feel a need for some type of judicial affirmation of the badness of extrajudicial disappearance :P
