Dear BuzzFlash,

Maybe it's time we took another look at the USS Greeneville nuclear submarine that sank a Japanese fishing boat in Feb. 2001. Sixteen civilians were on the submarine; some were even at the controls at the time of the accident.

Of the 16 civilians on board, 12 had connections to oil and gas industries. Of those 12, eight resided in Texas.

One of the civilians on board was Jay Brehmer. He was the company director of Aquila Energy.

Aquila was one of the companies meeting with White House officials on the administration's energy policy in early 2001, the same time as the submarine accident.

Thanks,

CR

PS keep up the good work. Links below.

1. I think the crux of the problem is...
that those people involved in Cheney's energy meetings know the jig is up if Kerry wins. There won't be anything to stop a full investigation of their treasonous behavior with a change in the Administration and their careers will be finished.

That's why their level of desperation is so high.

2. Yep.
Payback is a bitch. They'll find out 11-3.

3. Or they'll hire someone with a gun.
PLEASE keep in mind how desperate these men are, and how little they value human life.

And how much they have to lose.

Now would be a good time to watch movement of money to offshore accounts.

4. I hope the FBI is watching those transactions.
Also, does anybody know if Kerry has good security around him?

5. Question
Where's the tie to Sinclair? Is Brehmer with Sinclair?

6. It breaks down like this:
Sinclair and Contango are partners in Janadoo.

Brehmer is a bigshot director for Contango.

7. I think this makes Sinclair Broadcasting Fair Game
They voluntarily put themselves it the political spotlight, therefore opening up their records, ties to the Bush administration and unethical (if not illegal) dealings.

If they are accepting government contracts, then they have to live up to certain standards or lose them. Political partisanship is going to wreck that company. Even Halliburton is not that stupid to be so openly biased.
