According to the Financial Times, Rupert Murdock, owner of News Corporation which includes Fox News among its ownings, is arranging a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in July for her Senate re-election campaign. Also, Bill Clinton is planning on asking Murdock to be a presenter at his next Global Initiative meeting in September.
On another matter, the Presidents of Bolivia, Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela are meeting to arrange something like an OPEC for their countries and South America, and maybe others.
WASHINGTON - The government has abruptly ended an inquiry into the warrantless eavesdropping program because the National Security Agency refused to grant Justice Department lawyers the necessary security clearance to probe the matter.
The Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility, or OPR, sent a fax to Rep. Maurice Hinchey (news, bio, voting record), D-N.Y., on Wednesday saying they were closing their inquiry because without clearance their lawyers cannot examine Justice lawyers' role in the program.
"We have been unable to make any meaningful progress in our investigation because OPR has been denied security clearances for access to information about the NSA program," OPR counsel H. Marshall Jarrett wrote to Hinchey. Hinchey's office shared the letter with The Associated Press...
"SOME 200,000 guns the US sent to Iraqi security forces may have been smuggled to terrorists, it was feared yesterday.
The 99-tonne cache of AK47s was to have been secretly flown out from a US base in Bosnia. But the four planeloads of arms have vanished.
Orders for the deal to go ahead were given by the US Department of Defense. But the work was contracted out via a complex web of private arms traders.
And the Moldovan airline used to transport the shipment was blasted by the UN in 2003 for smuggling arms to Liberia, human rights group Amnesty has discovered.
It follows a separate probe claiming that thousands of guns meant for Iraq’s police and army instead went to al-Qaeda
Amnesty chief spokesman Mike Blakemore said: “It’s unbelievable that no one can account for 200,000 assault rifles. If these weapons have gone missing it’s a terrifying prospect.” American defence chiefs hired a US firm to take the guns, from the 90s Bosnian war, to Iraq.
And apparently this isn’t the first shipment of arms meant for our allies to go missing. The gun industry in the United States, for all we know, may be fueling our enemies in Iraq and elsewhere."
Lonna, that has been a question mark for me for a long time. Just who are we training and supplying arms with over there and do we really want to do that?
ron, at least when cuba helps people, they send doctors and teachers along with the guns.
seems like we don't do too much of that any more. we don't have enough doctors and teachers for our own people, but cuba trains a ton of both and sends them all over.
Oh golly Lonna, you must hate America!:-) Actually we have been falling behind on damn near everything which is part of want has me so frustrated. Alternative fuel, universal health care, new science and tech. Let's get going people!!!! Let's make America #1 again and eliminate our flag waving delusions.

On principle, I would not support any candidate Rupert Murdoch held a fundraiser for!
Go Al Gore!!

What's new?
From Iran-Contra, to several others that come to mind, the U.S. has fueled crooks, enemies, and Saddam Husseins throughout history.
Why not start a war with Iraq, and sell arms to them (again)?
We'd be surprised?
Don't think so.

Ron, do you honestly think, after all the damage this country has done, that it can ever be #1 again?
Why should it be over any other country, anyway?
Super color scheme, I like it! Good job. Go on.
