I'm wondering, has anyone heard anything about Ted Olson
and whether he supports the 9/11 Commission getting all the info they need to see what the MisAdministration knew and when they knew it? His wife, that POS-writing author, was killed on the plane that hit the Pentagon, IIRC. I'm surprised he hasn't had something to say.

I believe Olson is solicitor general, and is siding with Cheney in his efforts to hide the info on the energy task force meetings with Kenny Boy.

2. Last I heard, he had a new girlfriend not long after his wife was killed.

I don't think we would see him trying to hard to get anything uncovered if that's the case. He moves in high circles. He IS a high circle.

3. Ted may have done away with her

Read this...Link: http://www.geocities.com/subliminalsuggestion/olson.html

A new girlfriend..yes, the RW Neo Cons have rewarded Ted for his lies, etc.

Did you notice all the powerful Bush administration guys have young wives...even Murdock and Greenspan? Ever wonder....?

Ted didn't seem very broken up about the loss of his wife when asked on TV. I heard him on Larry King. He didn't even tell her he loved her when he knew she was going to her death. A woman going anywhere without her purse...no way.

He is a dangerous man just like Ashcroft. They built the whole story about the ME terrorists being on the planes..the phone calls,etc.

Yes..we need 9/11 independent investigations with access to records and testimony. Representatives of the 9/11 families who have put all trhe data together.

They have connected the dots.....to the top.

6. here's some
"2. Is it a coincidence that another law firm with profound Hughes interests (Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher) would send a law partner (Ted Olson) to present the case before the U.S. Supreme Court? Is it proper then for President Bush to appoint Ted Olson as the Solicitor General, who is the person who represents the Executive Branch before the U. S. Supreme Court? Is it a coincidence that this is the same law firm that Ken Starr spent so many years working at as a partner?"

12. Yeah, I haven't
Which worries me, because of the role he played in the sliming of Clinton.

It's not the devil you know that concerns me...
