Daniel Ellsberg: Ashcroft may face prison for 9/11 cover up

Ashcroft may face prison over 9/11 cover-up, says Daniel Ellsberg

Two whistleblowers stood side by side before a courthouse in Washington, D.C. on Monday. Veteran of the Pentagon Papers scandal, Daniel Ellsberg was backing a protest by former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds, against a court gag order which has silenced her revelations about the September 11th, 2001 attacks.

...

In an exclusive interview with BreakForNews.com he said that Ashcroft's legal actions against Edmonds were: "clearly intended to keep her from bringing out in public information that could lead.... to criminal indictments and possible convictions of major political figures."

Ellsberg says that if Edmonds' allegations are confirmed, the current Attorney General could be judged obstructive and share the fate of A.G. John Mitchell --who in Ellsberg v. Mitchell famously tried to squelch Ellsberg's 1971 revelations, and served prison time over the affair.

...

"I'm not an expert on all this," he admits. "But I am increasingly open to the explanation that people in the administration did see this coming... and may have indeed reduced some obstacles.., or opened the door, in effect. I haven't been absolutely convinced on that, but it does seem to me to be an open question that deserves investigation."

1. I'm not religious, but I am falling on my knees to PRAY FOR THIS.

Our country has suffered long enough with somebody who lost (with reason) to a dead guy.
Who thinks calico cats are the devil.
Who is so scared of females breasts.
Who wants to get into women's uteruses (plural) not for sex but to control their free will.
Who wants to keep people in prison without any reason.
and on. and on.

2. This whole bunch should face prison

for the large scale program of torturing prisoners both at Guantanamo Bay and in Iraq. They may be torturing detainees here, too, for all we know. That memo circulated among the members of the echo chamber that supposes them all to be far above the constitution, the entire body of law, and all treaties negotiated and signed is the smoking gun.

Every day these thugs spend out of prison is a day gone to hell.

We will have to charge, try, convict, and imprison them if we are ever to get our position among other countries back.
