President Cheney ....

LMAO! In these dark times, a little humor is a good remedy, for short lived relief. This little sketch on Saturday Night Live is a real case of a "truthful word being uttered in jest".

President Cheney indeed. The man who held Dubya's hand when the 9/11 "Commission" asked a couple of prescreened, softball "questions". The man who lied about his movements and whereabouts to the 9/11 "Commission", on the morning on 9/11/2001. The man who ordered the EPA to censor the dangers posed by the toxic dust from the World Trade Center. The man who ordered the alteration of the FAA-NORAD-USAF scramble-intercept protocol (June 1, 2001), to make sure that the hijacked planes were not challenged by US air defenses on 9/11 (the original protocol was restored on 9/12/2001). The man who refused to serve in the US military in Vietnam FOUR TIMES, because Cheney, the privileged chickenhawk, had "other priorities".

Cheney is the worst traitor the US has seen since Prescott Bush (President George W. Bush's granddad) - who was busted twice under the Trading with the Enemy Act for doing big business with his buddies in Nazi Germany.

Larry Silverstein, accessory before the fact to terror

My heart bleeds for Larry Silverstein, Bernie Madoff's buddyboy.

Larry Silverstein bought the lease on the World Trade Center from the Port Authority of New York shortly before the attacks. The buildings were in violation of NYC codes and it was estimated that the mandated asbestos removal/treatment from the seven buildings in the complex would have cost several $hundreds of millions. Many of the offices in the Twin Towers were vacant and the entire complex was losing money. Then he insured each building against separate terrorist attacks some 6 weeks prior to the attacks.

When asked as to why he bought the lease on the site, he said "it felt like the right thing to do". (?/!!)

If *I* had a business which was failing, which had several premises, then I insured each premises against arson attacks, and each building was burned to the ground shortly afterwards, I think the FBI would be quite interested, to say the least. Lucky Larry never was the subject of any inquiry; he is too well connected. He "Madoff" with some $4.5 billion in insurance money, no questions asked.

Imagine if the lease owner had been an Arab?

Oh my. One can't even go there.
