For those who discount the White Chair.

John Negroponte



It seems you folks need to do some reading.... Here, allow me to get you started:

Negroponte, a Torturer's Friend

Bush's announcement that he intends to appoint John Negroponte to be the U.S. ambassador to Iraq should appall anyone who respects human rights.

Negroponte, currently U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., was U.S. ambassador to Honduras in the 1980s and was intimately involved with Reagan's dirty war against the Sandinistas of Nicaragua. Reagan waged much of that illegal contra war from Honduras, and Negroponte was his point man.

According to a detailed investigation the Baltimore Sun did in 1995, Negroponte covered up some of the most grotesque human rights abuses imaginable.

Read on if you're not close minded...if you are then you're part of the gang that will allow history to repeat itself!

2. I Don't Discount Negroponte's Background
it's just that a white chair of that type is no more unique than a white Chevy van. Probably less, since Iraqis may have fewer types of goods available in stores.

8. I Agree an Inside Job is Not Out of the Question with or without Negropont
I just think there are a lot of white chairs and yellow walls in Baghdad. No question there are odd things about the video, too. There's just got to be more. I hope Kerry has the guts to find out who knows what next year.
