Dear Governor Bush and Attorney General Crist:
The New York Times today carried an article I found truly disturbing. Headlined "Old Enough to Make a Lanyard, and to Do It Nude," it is a story about a nudist camp for children - ages 11-18 - at the Lake Como Resort in Land O'Lakes, Florida.

You have to wonder if he'd ever been there. Did anything ever come of it or was it simply lip service.

The introduction to this program was about killing and more killing. Death and the like. The Forte' of CNN.
It's not called pedophilia, but necrophilia.

Here is another Florida pedophile. It must be the hot weather and light clothing that attracts them.
On June 7, 2006, U.S. citizen Frank Parsolano, of Cape Coral, Florida, was returned to the United States from Guatemala to face justice on felony probation violation charges in Lee County, Florida. The fugitive’s return was coordinated among the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, the U.S. Department of State Diplomatic Security Service, and the U.S. Marshals Service.
Frank Parsolano was released on his own recognizance on November 14, 2000 after violating parole on a 1998 sex offense charge and conviction. In February of 2001, he pled guilty to violation of parole and was placed on 4 years probation again. After failing to check in with court officials, he was listed as absconded on the sex offense database.
Diplomatic Security special agents at the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala received a tip in early June 2006 that Parsolano was in Guatemala boasting that he was wanted in America. Diplomatic Security confirmed the Lee County warrant and contacted the U.S. Marshals Service to see if they were willing to take over the warrant for Lee County.
The Guatemalan Police and Guatemalan Immigration were contacted for assistance. Four days later, Diplomatic Security and Guatemalan Police located Parsolano in a very remote part of the country. He was detained there by local police and transported back to Guatemala City until his departure to Miami International Airport on Wednesday, June 7, 2006 under Diplomatic Security escort. Parsolano was expelled by the Guatemalans for being an undesirable based upon crimes of moral turpitude and the U.S. warrant for his arrest.
U.S. Marshals Service personnel took custody of Parsolano at Miami International Airport and transferred him to the Lee County Jail. Parsolano is expected in Lee County Magistrate Court this week.

Killing in America, it's become a past time.
If any news agency is going to 'report' deaths in this country, they also need to report on what is being done to end it. That isn't being done. The NRA overrides all other perspectives to stop killing in the USA. The media ONLY reports the deaths without what the government is doing to stem the violence. In Texas, Bush would excute murderers as a means of prevention of killing. He had a record number of excutions during his governorship.
As with most instances these cases the 'socio-economic' focus is noted. It is those dynamics that is chronically viewed as 'the problem' and NOT the abundance of guns in the USA under this administration. Never once has the Bush White House even alluded to The Brady Bill. Mr. Brady was injured by a bullet when an assassination was attempted against Mr. Reagan. It took Bill Clinton's candidacy for President to bring forward The Brady Bill. It has been undermined by the Bush White House ever since. The current escalation in violence in the USA reflects Bush's ineffective policies.

Africa and why are the people there so negliected.
There are no effective polices. Bush has addressed issues such as HIV/AIDS and the Millenium Challenge Account/Corporation but these are very slow deployed programs. Last count there were about 16 countries that qualified for the MCC and of that not all were from Africa. There is also no support for UN Peacekeepers by the USA Military.

During times of peace, the USA is a vast assistant to world order and peace. It is unfortunate under this administration that capacity has been reduced to a few programs rather than the primary means of support to the world order. That's what corruption does. It takes from those most in need and diverts hope to profits of a few. When the USA leaves the world out of it's priorities there are very bad effects. That is what the return to old world Republicanism does.

Bob Woodward finally got the information he needed to 'make the case' against the Bush White House. The Washington Post is still the paper, isn't it? It's interesting to watch the major papers of the country take turns exposing the corruption that lead to an illegal war and attempts by Bush to undermine democracy. They all took the 'heat' in different ways. They have all suffered in circulation sales. I think that has to do with the lack of wealth of the people that normally buy newspapers as well. The American People and the world for that matter need to realize the advocacy these newspapers take to preserve liberty and 'the truth.' My hat off to Mr. Woodward. He hasn't let us down yet.

Colin Powell's most significant moment turned out to be his lowest
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/27/AR2006092700106.html
"The president would like to make a change," Card said, using a time-honored formulation that avoided the words "resign" or "fire." He noted briskly that there had been some discussion of having Powell remain until after Iraqi elections scheduled for the end of January, but that the president had decided to take care of all Cabinet changes sooner rather than later. Bush wanted Powell's resignation letter dated two days hence, on Friday, November 12, Card said, although the White House expected him to stay at the State Department until his successor was confirmed by the Senate.
Card has been noted to state he was surprised it was he that resigned and not Rumsfeld.
Card resigns as White House chief of staff
http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2006-03-28-card_x.htm
WASHINGTON (AP) — Struggling to revive his troubled presidency, President Bush replaced longtime chief of staff Andy Card with budget director Joshua Bolten on Tuesday and gave Bolten authority to make further changes in a White House staff that even Republicans have complained is tired, insular and lacking fresh ideas.
Card plans to stay on the job until April 14, when the switch with Bolten takes place.

Appearing with Bush in the Oval Office, Bolten gave no hint about what, if any, shake-up he might order. But White House officials said no one should doubt his ability to replace Bush aides. "He'll have all the authority he needs ... to make the decisions that he feels best, working with the president," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

Central African Republic: 'Severe' Violence Forces Almost 250,000 to Flee - UN

Almost a quarter of a million people in northern parts of the Central African Republic (CAR) have been forced to flee their homes in recent months because of "severe levels of violence" perpetrated by armed groups, including Government soldiers, the top United Nations aid official in the impoverished country said today, warning of the regional impact of this unrest.

The Bush 'answer' to African strife is Nation Building. Chronic Nation Building in countries where war, disease and genocide reduce the populous to dangerously low levels causing the near collapse of sovereignty. If Bush's White House and State Department cannot do better than this, there won't be nations to build.

QUESTION: I am concerned about the rule of law. I work with the African Judicial Network and with Assistant Secretary Jendayi Frazer on an African Judiciary Commission for Africa. And so how do you see the role of the rule of law and the African judiciary in view of the AU court that's in the process of trying to get established affecting some of these critical issues in the Continent?
SECRETARY RICE: Yes. Well, thank you. I think there may be no more important institutional reform that can take place in the countries of Africa, on the Continent of Africa than respect for rule of law. Very often, though, when we talk about respect for rule of law, we don't recognize that sometimes just the instruments, the tools, the knowledge, the expertise to actually have a system that functions under rule of law, a judicial system, a police system, they're just absent in some of these countries. And so the United States has actually had as a part of its assistance programs a focus on trying to help people to actually develop the institutions of rule of law: the training of judges, the training of prosecutors, getting away from corruption of the police. And I want to thank you for being part of this effort, because we now are trying to do something continent-wide that would bring resources. And by this I mean not just money but resources like yourself, people who have been involved in rule of law to be technical assistants, to help train -- I would hope that we would have more exchanges at the private level between the bar associations and those in Africa that we could get students here who could spend some time; that we could get professors lecturing in Africa.

Dennis Hastert - the lesson there is that Republicans practice politics even at the esteem of a young page. The Party before all else.
GOP Leader Rebuts Hastert on Foley
Reynolds: Speaker Knew of E-Mails in Spring
By Jonathan Weisman and Charles BabingtonWashington Post Staff WritersSunday, October 1, 2006; Page A01
House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) was notified early this year of inappropriate e-mails from former representative Mark Foley (R-Fla.) to a 16-year-old page, a top GOP House member said yesterday -- contradicting the speaker's assertions that he learned of concerns about Foley only last week.
Hastert did not dispute the claims of Rep. Thomas M. Reynolds (R-N.Y.), and his office confirmed that some of Hastert's top aides knew last year that Foley had been ordered to cease contact with the boy and to treat all pages respectfully.
Anderson's Time in Africa is to promote Rumsfeld as a follow up to the Weekend Edition of "Man of War." I always thought he was a racehorse. The Anderson Focus is completely irrelivant to the well being of the African people.
