A long-time FBI agent has been charged with spying for Moscow for 15 years, including accusations that he handed over highly classified documents and betrayed American intelligence sources in exchange for more than $1.4 million.

Isn't this special!! And the FBI has been trying to blame all their problems on a poor Chinaman. I'll bet Wen Ho Lee is busting a gut over this one right about now.

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) -- The nine young men and women hiked through ancient ruins, rugged peaks and valleys and to the foothills of a snowcapped volcano. There, in the breathtaking Colombian Andes, they were shot execution-style -- most with one bullet to the head.

There will be more and more of this as civil war in Columbia grows. As usual, the US is integral in this mess because of the Billion odd dollars we've committed to their war.

FindLaw's Writ - Legal Commentary WHY AN INVESTIGATION OF THE MARC RICH PARDON IS IMMINENT
By JOHN DEAN
----------------------------------
Starting to look more and more like Rich was pardoned on behalf of favors he did for Israel. Interesting to note that it has taken several weeks for this info to trickle out. The Republicans would still like us to believe he was 'purchased' out by political contributions. In any event, I hope they're as pissed off at Clinton as we progressives are about the Supreme (kangaroo) Court decision handing the presidency to Bush.

MATT DRUDGE // DRUDGE REPORT 2000® SENATOR STUNS WASHINGTON: WE COULD IMPEACH HIM AGAIN!
Sun Feb 11 2001 15:55:34 ET

WASHINGTON -- A veteran US Republican senator suggested Sunday former president Bill Clinton could be impeached again in connection with a series of pardons and sentence commutations he issued at the end of his term, including the controversial pardon of billionaire commodities trader Marc Rich.
--------------------------------
Isn't it about time the vast right-wing conspirators found someone new to bash? How about zeroing in on the idiot who ordered the submarine to surface under the Japanese fishing boat for starters!! Or am I to assume that it was Clinton's fault as well.

Enjoy.

"This may surprise a lot of people and I'm not suggesting that it should be done, but president Clinton technically could still be impeached," said Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, in an interview with FFOX NEWS SUNDAY.

Columbine Teacher Could Not Survive Columbine Teacher Could Not Survive

DENVER--The Columbine High School teacher killed in the nation's worst school shooting probably would not have survived even if he had gotten help sooner, two pathologists who reviewed his autopsy said.
-----------------------------
As I remember it, the guy lay bleeding to death with students around him for something like an hour? I'm pretty sure Hawkeye or Trapper John would have saved him if the cops hadn't been so chicken shit.
Officials Say Investigation Will Go On Despite Presidential Pardon Officials Say Investigation Will Go On Despite Presidential Pardon

Hey, why not? These Republicans never met an investigation they didn't like when it concerns Bill Clinton, even if it's contrary to common sense and a total waste of taxpayer money. The last vestiges of the Clinton presidency really are behind us. Is it just me or did it seem like the economy literally 'threw a switch' the day our 'pro-business' Republican president took over?
