Hi Mike,
It has been a strange morning. Somehow I got off (damn net with all it's strange tangents to simple searches), on reading
about the theories and evidence that Osama is in West Africa,
laundering diamonds for the Dubai/Jewish/Bush crime syndicate.
Whew, heck, even NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC has comments about AQ, Osama and diamond laundering.......
Anyway, stuff too weird to even paste over here.
But, the interesting theme to emerge is that Brownie has the
dirt on Dubai and Osama and diamonds and will spill the beans.
Here's a bit of fluff on the Scooter:

Libby, Twain and Memory
Interesting development in the Scooter Libby case. Jim Popkin of NBC News is reporting:
Scooter Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, has hired a renowned memory-loss expert to assist him with his legal defense. Harvard psychology professor Daniel L. Schacter tells NBC News he has been retained by Libby as a consultant. An official familiar with the Libby defense team confirms the news.
Schacter, who has been at Harvard since 1991 and who has a 29-page resume, is the author of "The Seven Sins of Memory" and "Searching for Memory: The Brain, the Mind and the Past." His books offer explanations for the "vulnerability of memory." Schacter writes that if we are distracted as an event unfolds, "we may later have great difficulty remembering the details of what happened." Time, of course, often weakens our memory. And, he writes, it is easy to "unwittingly create mistaken -- though strongly held -- beliefs about the past."
Libby's lawyers hinted in court filings last week that memory loss will be "central themes" of Libby's defense. Libby's lawyers write: "...any misstatements he made during his FBI interviews or grand jury testimony were not intentional, but rather the result of confusion, mistake or faulty memory."
Libby's lawyers say that, during Libby's hectic days handling sensitive national-security matters, "it is understandable that he may have forgotten or misremembered relatively less significant events. Such relatively less important events include alleged snippets of conversations about Valerie Plame Wilson's employment status."
Which reminds me: Mark Twain once said,
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything |
