On the Sunday following Sept. 11, 2001, Vice President Dick
Cheney told the truth. On NBC's 'Meet the Press,' he said
regarding plans to pursue the perpetrators of that attack:
'We have to work the dark side, if you will. We're going to
spend time in the shadows.' The grim, deadly consequences of
his promise have, in the intervening six years, become the
shame of our nation and have outraged millions around the
world. President George Bush and Cheney, many argue, have
overseen a massive global campaign of kidnapping, illegal
detentions, harsh interrogations, torture and kangaroo courts
where the accused face the death penalty, confronted by
secret evidence obtained by torture, without legal
representation.

One in 100 Americans in prison: Study

For the first time in history, more than one in every 100
American adults is in jail or prison, according to a new
report tracking the surge in inmate population and urging
states to rein in corrections costs with alternative
sentencing programs.

The report, released Thursday by the Pew Center on the
States, said the 50 states spent more than $49 billion on
corrections last year, up from less than $11 billion 20 years
earlier. The rate of increase for prison costs was six times
greater than for higher education spending, the report said.

Using updated state-by-state data, the report said 2,319,258
adults were held in U.S. prisons or jails at the start of
2008 - one out of every 99.1 adults, and more than any other
country in the world.

2 sentenced in '97 Chiapas massacre
Associated Press
February 28, 2008

SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS, Mexico -- A Mexican judge has sentenced two
brothers to 26 years in prison for their participation in the 1997
massacre of 45 men, women and children in southern Chiapas state.

Brothers Antonio and Mariano Pucuj were also ordered to pay more than
$70,000 in compensation to the victims' families, the human rights group
Fray Bartolome de las Casas said Wednesday.

Karla Banos, a spokeswoman for state prosecutors, said the Pucuj
brothers are appealing the judge's decision.

Pro-government villagers armed with guns and machetes killed the 45 on
Dec. 22, 1997 in an incident known as the Acteal massacre for the town
where it occurred.

Adolf Rothschild Hitler

"Hitler's grandmother, Maria Anna Schicklgruber, was raped by Baron
Rothschild when she worked as a maid in his castle in Vienna."

"The third possibility is that Adolf Hitler's grandfather was Jewish.
Rumours to that effect circulated in Munich cafes in the early 1920s,
and were fostered by sensationalist journalism of the foreign press
during the 1930s. It was suggested that the name `Huttler' was Jewish,
`revealed' that he could be traced to a Jewish family called Hitler in
Bucharest, and even claimed that his father had been sired by Baron
Rothschild, in whose house in Vienna his grandmother had allegedly
spent some time as a servant."

I won't give the YouTube link to that sleaze from Chicago with his tell-all
video of a night in the Nineties spent with his head high on crack, down in
the lap of Obama, because why would it impress others any more or less than
it's done me?

Put it this way: seeing that video has altered nothing to affect my bias in
favor of Obama over Hillary. This may have more to do with a sense of what's
no good about Hillary than what's good about Obama, if even such a
'shameful' episode as that cannot place him lower than Hillary in my esteem,
