Yahoo! News – FBI Papers on Kerry Stolen from Marin County Author: “(KCBS)–A North Bay man who had uncovered evidence the FBI (news – web sites) tailed presidential candidate John Kerry (news – web sites) for months in 1971 says some of the files were stolen this week.

Author Gerald Nicosia told police Friday that three of fourteen boxes of once secret FBI files he obtained through the Freedom of Information Act were taken from his Corte Madera home some time Thursday.
He says investigators do not have much hope in finding the missing files.

Oh, dear. Big shock, huh?

AP reports:

“PARIS (AP) — A French lawyer, known for defending terrorists and a Nazi leader, said Saturday he will defend Saddam Hussein. Jacques Verges told France-Inter radio he had received a letter from Saddam’s family requesting him to defend the former Iraqi leader in court.”

The article goes on to remind is that it is Verges who in the past defeded such men as Klaus Barbie and Carlos the Jackal.

Let’s look at the records of each of the men he’s defended in the past and see if we see a pattern, here.

According to an EmergencyNet release of 1994 at the time of the arrest of Carlos The Jackal:

“Carlos” is one of the best known “revolutionary terrorists” known in the history of modern insurgent movements. He reportedly has worked for Mohamar Qaddaffi of Libya, Saddam Hussien of Iraq, President Assad of Syria, Fidel Castro of Cuba, George Habash and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the Italian Red Brigade, Columbia’s M-19 Movement, the Baader-Meinholf Gang, and any number of other “Communist and Socialist” employers. His resume’ is almost unparalleled in the exploits of terrorists of the last three decades. According to anti-terrorist analysts, the only international terrorist of greater repute is probably Abu Nidal(Sabri Banna).

The article then goes on to say:

He is reported to have consulted with Col. Mohammar Qaddaffi and even Saddam Hussein, during their conflicts with the United States.

Hmmm. All of these listed orgs have two things in commom; their hatred for Jews, and their hatred for America.

And then, there’s the other one mentioned: Klaus Barbie.  Barbie was a Nazi Gestapo chief in France in World War II, who was convicted of crimes against humanity in Lyon, France, despite the best efforts of Verges. Says Wikipedia,

In 1941, Barbie was posted to the Bureau of Jewish Affairs and sent to Amsterdam and later, in May 1942, to Lyon—there, he earned the sobriquet “Butcher of Lyon” as head of the local Gestapo. He was accused of a number of crimes, including the capture and deportation of forty-four Jewish children hidden in the village of Izieu and the torturing to death of Jean Moulin, the highest ranking member of the French Resistance ever captured. All told, the deportation of 7,500 people, 4,342 murders, and the arrest and torture of 14,311 resistance fighters were in some way attributed to his actions or commands.

And now, Saddam, himself whose anti-Jewish, Anti-American motivations go without saying.

A pattern of the people this French lawyer defends, and the ideology that drives them, should be amply clear to you. I suspect other things about all the groups I’ve mentioned, should also be clear… their linkages to one another, for one thing.

Update:
I see Tom Kohl has posted a link to the same story from his site.
I wonder how many others will pick this up? Not many, I think.

Update:2
Add to the list former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic.
And it should shock nobody that Verges himself is a Communist.

I suppose I should make mention of what Matt’s laughingly calling “The Margolis Incident”, since everyone else already has.

I’ve spoken of Union violence before in this and other venues, of course, and I’ve always known that most of these were Democrats.

But it does show rather clearly that freedom of speech only counts when the one speaking is left of center.

I’ve not said much about the Bryant case. Mostly this is because I don’t follow basketball anymore, having fallen off the game when Larry Bird retired. I couldn’t care less for this one as far as Kobi’s star power goes.

But in a general sense, this case annoys me no end, because of the way rapes are handled in general in our criminal justice system, anymore.

Tell me something; Why is the accuser’s name not mentioned? 

To treat accusers so is to presume the accused is guilty.  Whatever else happens, regardless of his guilt or innocence, Bryant’s name is forver stained. THe accuser has little or nothing to lose.

Whatever happenened to “presumed innocent?”  The bottom line is, based on what I’m hearing already, she’s gotten used more often than a retired Mail Jeep. Apparently she decided Bryant was good for a few bucks, and went accordingly. And the number of times this happens is a direct result of our laws set the way they currently are.

Hey, Mike;

The depth of lying by the Bush administration on Iraq’s threat, on the nuclear capabilities, on the WMD’s, on the Prescription Drug bill costs to name a few hardly give them any room to talk about credibility or disgrace.

Let’s break this down, one at a time:

The Bush administration points on Iraq were nothing that the Clinton misadministration wasn’t saying all along. Do I really have to pony up with sKerry’s quotes on the point?

The Prescription Drug bill? Oh, please. You lefties have been making noise for years about this. And now, given the chance to get it going, you complain about the dollars not adding up to the claims… which still add up to less than Hillary was going to spend, even in raw dollars, much less adjustted for inflation? Comon, man… grow up.

And oh… this is rich…

As to his Rich Lowery quote referring to Richard Clarke, “Rarely has a former public servant with such a sterling reputation shot it all away so quickly” neither he or Lowery offers any supporting evidence that Clarke’s reputation has gone down the tank.

WASHINGTON – Top Republicans in Congress sought Friday to declassify two-year-old testimony by former White House aide Richard Clarke, suggesting he may have lied this week when he faulted President Bush’s handling of the war on terror.

What did I call Clark? Another Liar?

Yep.

Sorry, Mike. You have crashed. Try again? (Y/N)
