CIA = LIE Part 2: Lies Permeate Our Government
Here's an interesting Op Ed from the NY Times today written by Thomas H. Kean and Lee H. Hamilton who served as chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the 9/11 commission. It's about how the newspaper asked the CIA numerous times for information after the law was put into effect to release all information about these serious attacks on America.
Don't get me wrong, I love my country as I love my wife. But the lies and deceitfulness incorporated into many facets of our Government needs to be stopped dead in its tracks.
Lies from the city, county, state governments to lies on Capital Hill. Lies that put people in prisons, Lies that keep people in prisons, Lies that keep people below poverty level, lies, lies and lies. Lies about our Social Security system AND Numbers. The old SS Cards had a disclaimer on the bottom that said: The SS# Will never be used for Identification purposes.
Now we are merely a number with our government. Furthermore, the SS system is unfortunately broken. Another major lie is that SS helps people after retirement or if they are disabled. Some, but not all that deserve it.
Lies.
This CIA bit really brings out the problem the people of our country need to address when the votes start. We need to lobby for laws making lies by our government officials a major felony without any pardoning (look at the Valery Plame case, what a crock that turned out to be with 'Scooter' getting pardoned!) We need to clean up the governments act and hold people responsible for their lies. On every level of government. Lies from a prosecuting attorney to get someone convicted? Give that attorney the max the law provides for the crime he was prosecuting. A rule/law like this for every level in government would almost stop the lies. Lets call it the SLAM law: Stop Lies in America More
Read the article and comment back on how we can clean our government up. It's all summed up in the last paragraph there.....
"What we do know is that government officials decided not to inform a lawfully constituted body, created by Congress and the president, to investigate one the greatest tragedies to confront this country. We call that obstruction."
I call it a terrible and destructive evil that is tearing our Government apart. Here's an interesting Op Ed from the NY Times today written by Thomas H. Kean and Lee H. Hamilton who served as chairman and vice... more -

Kerb Crawing a criminal offence in Scotland.
About time they put the weight of criminality on the people that use prostitutes rather than prostitutes themselves who are often victims - of abuse, trafficking etc. Not always the case, but it often is. Sends a clear message about who is in the wrong here and who fuels the trade.

Rep. Chris Cannon: "Iraq security contractors shouldn't be subject to U....
Chris Cannon, a Republican from Utah, opposed a bill that would apply U.S. criminal law to private security contractors working in Iraq and questioned where it could lead the nation.
"What's next? Supplying Moqtada al-Sadr with a taxpayer-funded trial lawyer?" Cannon wrote in a piece published last week in the conservative newsletter Human Events.
Cannon was also quoted as saying "I personally believe the war is well on its way to being won."
Although I have shared similar ground with the ultra conservative from Utah in the past, I would have to say I strongly disagree with him on these latest statements. Security contractors are being paid very well to do their job. Their Job does not require them to shoot unarmed civilians. Responsibility comes with any job, any place, any situation. If you are not responsible be prepared to face the consequences.
