Media Becoming Intelligence Source in Congress

Welcome everyone to this political crossroads, intersection of power and the human condition:
The move to preventive intelligence rather than military actionable intelligence;
In the last year of Pres Clinton's admin, particularly after then Gov Bush was seen as the likely candidate in 2000 V. Gore;
Congress has been devicive in the skilled hands of most republicans in the white house.
The white house is still biPartisan, for another month until Sec trans Norman Minetta retires.
Both houses are lacking Intelligence matters oversite.
Can Congress form it's own intel community?
If House intel had to match Executive military intel, we might think twice, as a nation, before beginning a war.

June 6, 2006

June 6th 2006 (6/6/6) marks the 39th anniversary of "Occupation Day" when Israel began its settlements in the West Bank and Gaza. I will have written it here at 12:37 AM on Monday June 5th 2006. I am in Jeonju, Korea.

Did Jesus Commit Suicide?

The act of intentionally killing oneself. Did Jesus want to die? Was he suicidal? Did he intentionally commit acts that would lead to his death? I would assert that, regardless of whether or not Jesus had divine vision of his own fate, he wanted to die.

Korean GNP Stages Park Geun-hye Assassination Attempt In Order to Swing Elections

Korean GNP Chairwoman Park Geun-Hye has been the focus of media attention in Korea the past week since her "assassin" failed to complete his task. In the wake of the May 31 local and provincial elections, the GNP has emerged as the clear victor. This seems to be partially caused by an emotional reaction to the assassination attempt. Although, Park was never in any danger of being mortally wounded, the event sparked a sympathetic wave of voters to back the GNP. This move to incite empathy for Park and the GNP was clearly orchestrated by the GNP itself, days before the elections, in order to assure its landslide victory on the last day of May 2006.
All one has to do is think about who stands to benefit from a failed assassination attempt days before an election. Surely the would be assassin had expected this outpouring of sympathy would occur. More facts to come.
