Gentlemen:
A short time ago, the Friday, 17 February broadcast of The Lehrer News Hour ended, with the usual rendition of U.S. service personnel blown away in Iraq and Afghanistan, this time it was 10 more, bringing the total of dead to, I really cannot remember what. The purpose of this e-mail is NOT to discuss the foregoing.
This evenings broadcast went on about The Olympics, ongoing problems resulting from Katrina, the bungling that seems to be part and parcel of FEMA, ala the Bush Administration, and Dick Cheney’s shooting of his hunting partner, who happily appears to be well on the way to recovery.
Interestingly, not to mention sadly, we now come to things UNMENTIONED. On Wednesday, 15 February, The House Judiciary Committee held an hour or so of hearings, from approximately 4 P.M. to 5:30 P.M., hearings that were web cast, into the antics of an agency of the U.S. government. This agency is commonly known as the ATF, more correctly The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, whose antics have, in the past, been the subject of congressional hearings, none of which turned out favorably for the agency.
Curiously, and notwithstanding the propinquity of the occasion, there was exactly ZERO mention of these House Judiciary Committee Hearings, hearings that barely scratched the surface of ATF transgressions on the law and the civil rights of Americans. Pardon me for making so bold, but why the lack of coverage?
While one could note that I await, with interest, your response, I’m NOT holding my breath, for it turns out that blue is NOT my best color. You all might want to think on the foregoing. More important, you all might want to respond, however re this, your response to the foregoing, I refer your attention to the above comments.
