        1/9     Ahh, the Clinton Legacy -
        Loral Agrees to Pay U.S. $14 Million
        http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/605035/posts
        \_ How about you refute rather than delete, oh thats right,
           this is Berkeley's definition of 'free speech'
           \_ No, it's not the article but your comment. You make the
              leap from Loral to Clinton (even the article didn't do
              that) without any logical flow. You just used the word
              Clinton and some defense comany in the same sentence, just
              because you wanted to, and then posted the URL that you
              have been spending your whole day "stumbling across" as
              you puruse through http://drudgereport.com. Oh, that's right,
              this is Berkeley - we don't need to sound intelligible.
              We just have to post URLs of anything we can find that's
              anti-liberal and it's unequiviocally correct.
                \_ <troll>So maybe you should read yourself to find out why ten
                   years ago China's rockets blew up on launch, but today
                   they have the capability to put satellites in orbit
                   with MIRVs.  Hint: Ron Brown, Commerce Secratary.... and
                   former president Clinton, who at the vehement resistance
                   from the Pentagon and State Department, transferred
                   technology export restrictions to the Commerce Department.
                   This, together with contributions to the DNC,
                   was the true scandal of the Clinton administration.  It was
                   obscurred by Lewinsky because the Republicans
                   also had their hands out.</troll>

2/10    I like Woz, and I like iWoz, but let me tell ya, no one worships
        him because he has the charisma of an highly functioning
        Autistic person. Meanwhile, everyone worships Jobs because
        he's better looking and does an amazing job promoting himself
        as God. I guess this is not the first time in history. Case in
        point, Caesar, Napolean, GWB, etc. Why is it that people

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

8/5     Regarding NKorea relesing the journalists, here's what I think the
        actual deal between Kim and Obama is:
        - Both agree that Kim needs to save, or gain, face to pave the way for
          his son's succession and for NK's stability.
        - Both agree that Obama doesn't like losing face by publicly
          apologizing.

        http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090427/pl_afp/uspoliticsobama100daysasia
        Just like the way Clinton was the first African-American president.
        \_ Two wars, a banking, housing, and general economic crisis, a truly
           massive deficit, and now, Swine Flu.  Has any president except for
           Lincoln and Roosevelt faced worse?

        \_ Good thing the legislature passed the biggest tax increase in
           history!  That should solve it.
           \_ because cutting taxes has done such a great job so far!

State Department that the company passed sensitive missile technology to China. If so, don't expect the media to highlight that connection they way they are highlighting the connection betweeen Enron and Bush. The money isn't as important to me as the treason they exhibited. They look semi bankrupt at best and serves them (stockholders) right to suffer.

A five year ban on export sales, effective immediately, would be a start in the right direction. Loss of government contract privileges for a five year period would be the second correct step. Criminal prosecution of Loral management would be a third correct step. The head of Loral, name escapes me at the moment was the single largest contributor to the DNC. Loral also was informed the Justice Department has terminated its investigation of Space Systems/Loral relating to this matter. Ashcroft/Bush wanted no part, it seems, of continuing the campaign finance investigation despite the fact to is directly associated with our national security. Klinton was getting paid from them on this side of the Pacific and from Chinese military generals on the other. While our pathetic POS pols on both sides sat around with their fingers in their asses. Nobody is held accountable for giving a potentially hostile communist dictatorship something they never had before. The ability to accurately hit our mainland with multi-warhead Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. China doesn't seem to be launching any commercial satellites anymore. It seems China has annoyed everyone with its unprofessional behavior. The money isn't as important to me as the treason they exhibited. I know what you mean, D1, but we will get no justice from Justice in the matter of campaign finance, which this is really all about, isn't it? Ashcroft disbanded the campaign finance task force and sent Robert Conrad, the head of the task force who wanted Reno to appoint an IC to investigate Gore, away to NC. We know the the head of Loral was the largest contributor to the DNC, we know that officials of the PRC army funneled money to Clinton through Johnny Chung, we know about Wen Ho Lee, we know a lot. Projects that have been held up include Chinasat-8 and Apstar5 by Loral Space Systems, the non-partisan Congressional Research Service reported last year. Defense Trade Controls stopped short of rejecting Loral's application. In a federal filing on Wednesday, the company said that the cost of the fine, about 4 cents per share, would be reflected in its fourth quarter results. The X42 regime was fully aware of it and Ron Brown's fingerprints were all over the deal. The new regime has no reason to drag this out into the light. Employees who tried to prevent the Chinese from touring plants and buying machines were disciplined up to the point of being arrested. When you arrest the higher ups and throw them in prison for doing what the previous administration told them to do you get a lot of Gerald Bull's floating around. Right, but is the current administration that is giving this slap on the wrist and letting them get away with it. Loral also was informed the Justice Department has terminated its investigation of Space Systems/Loral relating to this matter. What is it with the Justice Department so far this administration is no different then the last. Now Loral can be proud that MIRVed ICBM are now pointed at American cities with some probability that at least one will be on target. The cost of their actions to this country will be billions of dollars and thousands, if not millions, of technical man hours. Loral should be barred from doing business with the United States indefinitely. Their clearances on all existing projects should be cancelled, and their access to classified materials be prohibited. It is such attitudes that allows those who commit such treasons acts to get away with them with only a limp slap on the wrist. It is such attitudes that allows those who commit such treasons acts to get away with them with only a limp slap on the wrist. Of course, yours was EXACTLY the response I expected from Move-On'ers. Just wanted to get it on RECORD so that next time you PRETEND to be a law and order conservative, we can demonstrate YOUR "duplicity". And by the way, are you still claiming that Ron Brown's body was autopsied? He should be taking credit for a "victory" right about now. For 900K to the DNC and a relatively small fine, Bernie stays out of jail. Nope, it's the stockholders who had nothing to do with it. So, when people like you, who admittedly represent a big portion of the population say that such an outcome is just dandy, we can expect no better. Too bad that so many, in their blind loyalty to person or party, act in a fashion similar to the Clinton defenders. And maybe you should also tell your "friend", VA Advogado, that he is LYING when he claims Ron Brown's body was autopsied.

The staff is planning to do several stories on this and not just one big article. For days now, the NYT has been chasing down the rumors of what the LA TIMES may be investigating about Carter but didn't have much success. Finally, this afternoon, the NYT made some headway, at least enough to rush out a story.
