newspaper: Re: [Anti_Bush_Database] Democrat Party

I was wondering if you could explain why representatives for Nancy Pelosi as well as A.I.P.A.C. showed up at Dennis Kucinichs office to Guarantee his re-election if he would stop impeachment attempts?

cannot place the blame on the Democratic Party, when
republicans were in charge until 2006. Republicans
even threatened the "nuclear" option to deny the use
of a minority filibuster in Congress when they were in
charge. And now republicansy use the filibuster to
block legislation of the Democratic Party. You cannot
put the responsibility of the current mess on the
backs of the Democratic Party. That demented glory
belongs to bush-cheney and the corruption of the
republican party. Whomever compiled this opposition
research is good rove clone, but...there are thinking,
knowledgable people in these impeachment groups, and
are not easily led astray by a few selective factoids.
Good try...

> November 4, 1998 Bin Laden, Atef Indicted in U.S.
> Federal Court for African Bombings New York --
> Usama bin Laden and Muhammad Atef were indicted
> November 4 in Manhattan federal court for the August
> 7 bombings of the US embassies in Nairobi, Kenya,
> and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and for conspiring to
> kill Americans outside the United States. Bin
> Laden's "al Qaeda" organization functioned both on
> its own and through other terrorist organizations,
> including the Al Jihad group based in Egypt, the
> Islamic Group also known as el Gamaa Islamia led at
> one time by Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, and a number of
> other jihad groups in countries such as Sudan,
> Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Somalia. Bin
> Laden, the US Attorney charged, engaged in business
> transactions on behalf of Al Qaeda, including
> purchasing warehouses for storage of explosives,
> transporting weapons, and establishing a series of
> companies in Sudan to provide income to al Qaeda and
> as a cover for the procurement of
> explosives, weapons, and chemicals, and for the
> travel of operatives. According to the indictment,
> bin Laden and al Qaeda forged alliances with the
> National Islamic Front in Sudan and with
> representatives of the Government of Iran and its
> associated terrorist group Hezballah with the goal
> of working together against their common enemies in
> the West, particularly the United States. "In
> addition, al Qaeda reached an understanding with the
> Government of Iraq that al Qaeda would not work
> against that government and that on particular
> projects, specifically including weapons
> development, al Qaeda would work cooperatively with
> the Government of Iraq," the indictment said.
> Beginning in 1992, bin Laden allegedly issued
> through his "fatwah" committees a series of
> escalating "fatwahs" against the United States,
> certain military personnel, and, eventually in
> February 1998, a "fatwah" stating that Muslims
> should kill Americans -- including civilians --
> anywhere in the world they
> can be found.
