Anthrax Update: Federal Bureau of Intimidation
One former colleague, Dr. W.
Russell Byrne, said the [FBI] agents pressed Dr. Ivins’s daughter repeatedly to
acknowledge that her father was involved in the attacks.
“It was not an interview,” Dr. Byrne said. “It was a frank attempt at
intimidation.”
Dr. Byrne said he believed Dr. Ivins was singled out partly because of his
personal weaknesses. “They figured he was the weakest link,” Dr. Byrne said.
“If
they had real evidence on him, why did they not just arrest him?”

And as you know, if there's one thing the Republicans will not stand for, it's electing some Hollywood celebrity to public office.

The United States began a pilot program on Tuesday that allows some illegal immigrants to come forward and schedule their own deportation, after criticism that stepped-up raids cause traumatic family splits.

See, that’s when you know the economy is bad, when illegal immigrants are fleeing to Mexico for a better way of life!" --Jay Leno
