All Charges Against Cyril Wecht Are Dropped

[Peter Lemkin]

From Dawn:

Jerry Policoff will be looking into this matter further. In addition to the news about Cyril I received this email as well:

One of the tidbits I stumbled onto last year was that Mary Beth Buchanan’s attorney (or at least one of them) was one of the former Justice Department lawyers implicated in the leaking the name “Steven J. Hatfill” to the news media as a “person of interest” in the Anthrax investigation. That was a bogus Justice ‘Department operation that appears to have been orchestrated directly by then Attorney General John Ashcroft. I don’t know what the relevance, if any, of one of those leakers later becoming a lawyer for Buchanan, but I think it hints at her friends in high places in the Bush Justice Department.

That was an interesting bit in Jerry Policoff's note about the Hatfill accusation and Ashcroft's involvement, all suggesting that the anthrax letters and poisonings were US government-initiated, as we already know from the high-grade weaponized anthrax spores from Ames, Iowa, and Fort Detrick, etc.

Thanks for sharing that, Dawn.

It's just like the 9/11 attacks. The patsies in that case were Osama bin Laden and Al Quaeda. Has anyone noticed if Osama bin Laden has ever been put on the FBI's Wanted Poster for the 9/11 attacks? He was never put on it because the FBI did not have the evidence, yet the propaganda given to us still resonates with many people who believe Osama was responsible for 9/11.

Point taken, but it is even worse....many Americans STILL think Saddam Hussein had something to do with 9/11!...toned:

This poll from 07, but in two years numbers down only a little! How dumb can the American People be...answer: quite well and easily propagandized, sadly....

Number of Americans who believe Saddam-9/11 tie rises to 41 percent Josh Catone

A new Newsweek poll out this weekend exposed "gaps" in America's knowledge of history and current events.

Perhaps most alarmingly, 41% of Americans answered 'Yes' to the question "Do you think Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq was directly involved in planning, financing, or carrying out the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001?"

That total is actually up 5 points since September 2004.

Further, a majority of people couldn't identify Saudia Arabia as the country of origin of most of the 9/11 hijackers, even given the question in multiple choice format. 20% answered Iraq, while 14% believed the hijackers came from Iran.

A majority (52%) believe the US is losing the war against al Qaeda, however Newsweek disagrees. In the magazine's reporting of the poll, they made judgment that the US is in fact not "losing the fight against al-Qaeda or radical Islamic terrorism."

Closer to home, 89% of Americans are unable to name the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (John Roberts), though a majority of those polled were able to name Nancy Pelosi as the current Speaker of the House.

A large majority of people said they didn't know or didn't care who the winner of this year's American Idol competition was (or at least weren't willing to admit it).
