Larry Franklin, Abramoff, GOP, AIPAC
excerpt: http://www.tomflocco.com/

The corruption and crimes surrounding the indicted Republican lobbyist were widespread and far-reaching enough to cause Fitzgerald to impanel a separate grand jury, often referred to by intelligence officials as the “Franklin grand jury,” which is hearing testimony and examining Abramoff linked evidence tied to the Iraq War, September 11 and related issues.

Pentagon analyst Larry Franklin was arrested for leaking classified U.S. government information to AIPAC officials Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman who reportedly leaked information to Israel concerning a controversial proposal by Department of Defense hardliners to destabilize Iran.

The federal source wishing to remain anonymous said that additional government officials are currently testifying this month before the Franklin grand jury about Abramoff, the GOP-linked prostitution ring and its ties to AIPAC.

1. I am more Concerned About OPUS DEI and FEDERALIST SOCIETY on SCOTUS
Antonin Scalia, John Roberts, Sam Alito, Clarence Thomas -- All and Members.

The combination of OPUS DEI and the FEDERALIST SOCIETY is inimical to a liberal, open, progressive society with women's rights, reproductive freedom, GLBT rights, and world peace.

The "Venn Diagram AND" of OPUS DEI and the FEDERALIST SOCIETY is truly mind boggling.

2. I'm not gonna even click that link. Wanna know why? It's Flocco.
Flocco is a totally unreliable mix of fact, fiction & distraction. It's so bad that I sometimes think it exists solely as a place to plant legitimate stories that they want to discredit.
