Why Aren't We Being Told More Facts About the OKlahoma Suicide Bomber?
What are the FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force Investigating?

A very interesting post. When the Chief first heard about this one, he had a real question about the first released version of events. Even the sparse circumstances reported at the tiem seemed to suggest more than was admitted to.

Read the details here, and like me, you'll have even more questions. The final bit of icing on the cake:

Finally, if Hinrichs was just a disturbed guy who decided to kill himself with a bomb 100 yards from a crowd of 84,000 people instead of simply putting a bullet through his temple, slashing his wrists or some other traditional way of doing away with himself, why is the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force now the lead agency in the investigation?

Read the whole post - terrorism sure looks likely. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then chances are, it IS a duck!

Here's another report, that the bomber was inquiring about getting a bunch of ammonium nitrate - the main ingredient in an ANFO (ammonium nitrate-fuel oil) bomb. (Remember the Murrah building?) Curiouser and curiouser!

Yesterday I posted Rush Limbaugh?s initial reaction to the nomination of Harriet Miers. The MSM picked up on his weakness comment. Here is Limbaugh?s response to NBC?s Kelly O?Donnell:O'DONNELL: And radio giant Rush Limbaugh... When radio personality Rush Limbaugh told...

By nominating Harriet Miers, President Bush has opened up a rift between two essential parts of his political base: the religious right, and conservatives. I suspect that the President's trust in Ms. Miers is probably grounded mostly in two facts:...

The Islamofascists have murdered at least 26 in Bali. Naturally, as these "freedom fighters" prefer, they were mostly innocent tourists going about their business. Click over to Tim Blair's and scroll down for all of the latest news....

Tim Blair wasn't on Hoist the Black Flag today, which is understandable when you think about the 14-hour time difference. Ace is talking about a taped interview in the future, and that would be nice....

A legal colleague writes on Harriet Miers

An interesting posting from Austin Bay - a very positive missive from a Dallas attorney who knows / has workd with Ms Miers. A bit more information as grist for the mill.

He essentially says about the same thing that the Pres. did about her - again based on personal experience. It's still anecdotal, but there is always the factor of "By the words of two or three witnesses shall all things be established."

For what it's worth...

DeLay accuses Earle of taking corporate funds

Rep. Tom DeLay said District Attorney Ronnie Earle, who is prosecuting him for trying to involve corporate money in Texas politics, has taken such contributions himself. "It's real interesting he has this crusade against corporate funds. He took corporate funds, and he's taken union funds, for his own re-election. That's against the law," Mr. DeLay told The Washington Times yesterday. A review of Mr. Earle's campaign-finance filings in Texas shows that he has received contributions from the AFL-CIO, including a $250 donation on Aug. 29, 2000. He also has received contributions listed on the disclosure forms only as coming from the name of an incorporated entity, often a law firm.

Maybe Earle should prosecute himself again.

Mr. Earle has said repeatedly that state law bars corporate and union contributions. Attempts to reach Mr. Earle yesterday for comment, including a phone message left on his assistant's voice mail detailing Mr. DeLay's charge, were unsuccessful.

The old telephone tag routine, eh?

Tim Blair will be on Hoist the Black Flag tomorrow. That ought to be good. Replays throughout the day if you're like me and can't listen at work....
