http://www.legitgov.org/index.html#breaking_news Rumsfeld's growing stake in Tamiflu --Defense Secretary, ex-chairman of flu treatment rights holder, sees portfolio value growing. 31 Oct
2005 The prospect of a bird flu outbreak is proving to be very good news for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other politically connected investors in Gilead Sciences, the California biotech company that owns the rights to Tamiflu, the influenza remedy that's now the most-sought after drug in the world. Rumsfeld served as Gilead's chairman from 1997 until he joined the Bush regime in 2001, and he still holds a Gilead stake valued at between $5 million and $25 million, according to federal financial disclosures filed by Rumsfeld. The forms don't reveal the exact number of shares Rumsfeld owns, but in the past six months fears of a pandemic and the ensuing scramble for Tamiflu have sent Gilead's stock from $35 to $47. http://www.legitgov.org/flu_oddities.html
U.S. Military Wants to Own the Weather 31 Oct 2005 Military officials and weather modification experts could be on the verge of joining forces to better gauge, react to, and possibly nullify future hostile forces churned out by Mother Nature. While some consider the idea farfetched, some military tacticians have already pondered ways to turn weather into a weapon. [Uh, I think the horse has already left *that* barn.]
U.S. Ranks 44th in Worldwide Press Freedom Index --Nation's openness sinking after Sept. 11, northern Europe tops the list 01 Nov 2005 The annual worldwide press freedom index from Reporters Without Borders shows the United States, which is supposedly spreading freedom and liberty throughout the world, is in a fast decline regarding the freedom of its own press... A full list can be found at the RSF Web site.
Howard Dean: Indict Dick Cheney 31 Oct 2005 Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean is urging Leakgate Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald to indict Vice President Dick Cheney if he had anything to do with the decision of his chief of staff, Lewis Libby, to leak CIA employee Valerie Plame's identity to the media.
"This is a firing offence." Wilson Demands Rove's Sacking 01 Nov 2005 Joseph Wilson, the former US diplomat in the eye of the CIA-leak storm, has demanded the scalp of top White House political aide Karl Rove, over a scandal which has already toppled one key official... "I don't believe that Mr Rove should be permitted to resign. I believe this is a firing offence," he said.
Republicans join call for Rove to resign 01 Nov 2005 Both Republicans and Democrats have called for a radical overhaul of the Bush Administration, increasing the pressure on the US pResident to force Karl Rove, his closest political adviser, to resign over the CIA leak affair.
Libby defiant as Senate investigates Rove's role 01 Nov 2005 An official said yesterday that Lewis "Scooter" Libby would appear in a federal court in Washington on Thursday morning, where he would be formally charged, or arraigned. Mr Libby, 55, has made it clear he will plead not guilty. He was replaced yesterday by David Addington, a longtime aide to Vice-President [sic] Dick Cheney and his top legal adviser. Mr Addington was among the authors of a White House memo justifying torture of terrorism suspects.
Cheney Promotes Individuals Named In Indictment By Faiz 31 Oct 2005 "The White House announced today that it is elevating two members of Cheney’s staff who are named in the Scooter Libby indictment... 'The Vice President today appointed David S. Addington of Virginia to be the chief of staff to the Vice President. The Vice President also appointed John P. Hannah of the District of Columbia as the Assistant to the Vice President for National Security Affairs.' Both Addington and Hannah are named in the indictment."
