Why did it happen?
What conduct debilitated American Unity?
Who was the Victim?
Who still walks among us?
Barbara Olson Eulogized by Clarence Thomas
partial post below.
Noted author, TV commentator and one-time Clinton scandal
investigator Barbara Olson was eulogized by Supreme Court Justice
Clarence Thomas at an Arlington, Va., memorial service Saturday.
Olson, wife of Bush administration Solicitor General Ted Olson,
died Tuesday while aboard an airplane hijacked by kamikaze
terrorists who crashed it into the Pentagon.
"This is indeed a sad occasion," Thomas told a gathering of 1,500
at St. Thomas Moore Cathredral. "One to be repeated thousands of
times by our fellow citizens across the country."
The ceremony, which included prayers for the Olson family as well
as childhood anecdotes recalled by Olson's brother, David Bracher,
moved many on hand to tears.
In his own rememberences of Olson, Circuit Court Judge J. Michael
Luttig described her as "above all a patriot," ......
She was passionate and devoted to our country," Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch told the Associated Press. "She always had a smile on her face."
Olson became a familiar face to cable news TV audiences in 1998 and
1999, arguing on venues like "Hannity & Colmes," "Larry King Live,"
and "Rivera Live" that then-President Bill Clinton should be
impeached and removed from office.
In 1996, as lead investigative counsel for the House Government
Reform and Oversight Committee, Olson prepared formal
interrogatories for Hillary Clinton that later became the basis for
Independent Counsel Robert Ray's finding that Mrs. Clinton provided
false and misleading answers about her role in the Travelgate
scandal.
In 1999, Olson authored the book "Hell to Pay" based on her
experience investigating Mrs. Clinton.
Just before her death Olson had completed another book on the
Clinton pardon scandal entitled "The Final Days," which is
available on an advance-order basis at NewsMax.com's bookstore.
