USCCR Report on Florida Election a Fraud!!! From the Federalist: In other news from the Left, OK, you are tired of hearing about the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights' Florida election report claiming all manner of malfeasance -- subsequently refuted by conservative commissioners Abigail Thernstrom and Russell Redenbaugh. Now Thernstrom and Redenbaugh are joined by the Miami-Dade elections supervisor David Leahy -- a Democrat. The USCCR's report claimed voters "were delayed at the polls or denied their opportunity to vote," highlighting the case of Ms. Margarita Green, who complained she was not allowed to vote because she was told she was not registered. Mr. Leahy has produced a form signed by Ms. Green in 1998 declaring, "I no longer live in Dade County." Greennever re-registered upon her return to Dade County. Another case highlighted by the USCCR's report was that of Felix Boyle, who complained he was not informed that his polling place had changed. "I couldn't find where I was supposed to vote," claimed Boyle. But, according to Mr. Leahy, "Felix Boyle stated that the polling place for Precinct #36 was in a different building than was used in the 2000 primary election. The same building was used for both elections." Memo to the USCCR: The election is over.

Sen Warner, trying to justify this 21st century Maginot Line, asked the general to compare the destructive power of a North Korean ICBM aimed at Hawaii vs the suitcase bomb. The general said he thought you would need 14 to 15 suitcases From the other side of the aisle, I might have asked the question. Do you think, general, that a single suitcase bomb in Washington DC really has a significant difference in outcome from the perspective of the terrorist or rogue nation? In other words, do you think that the rogue nation or terrorist would give a shit whether they used a suitcase bomb or an ICBM? While you're think about your answer to that question, I'll mention my follow-up; perhaps they can be answered together. Wouldn't a suitcase bomb be a more suitable weapon of terror? After all, they are less detectable and can not be countered with any even imagined defensive system. Go ahead General. Testing due this evening...it'll be great fun. washingtonpost.com One small observation. I notice that the test includes separating decoys from actual "real" targets. Interesting. So rogue nations and terrorists, after having developed the weapons, the ballistic missile delivery system are going to use some of the payload for decoys! IMO, I'm not sure that this Administration believes that BMD is for rogue nations and terrorists. jttmab
