The U.S. Has a Free and Liberal Press . . . in my dreams

WOW, the hypocrisy and conflict of interest inherent in this situation boggles an already totally boggled mind. It's kind of like a Mafia trial with Al Capone as the judge. I found this at Deadline Live.

I'm not a supporter of the 9/11 Truth movement - on the other hand it would not surprise me in the least if they turn out to be correct. Nothing out government does anymore shocks me - sickens me, yes, and appalls me, yes, but not shock or surprise.

The fix is in: Bush cousin presides over 9/11 suit against Cheney, Rumsfeld, Myers

No, it’s not a joke.

A 9/11 lawsuit against former high officials in the Bush White House is being presided over by a cousin of former president George W. Bush – a shocking and blatant conflict of interest that should embarrass even believers in the official story.

George W. Bush’s cousin, Judge John M. Walker of the 2nd Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals, is part of a three-judge panel hearing the case of April Gallop vs. former vice-president Dick Cheney, former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Richard Myers.

The case has been ignored by the mainstream media in the weeks leading up to it going to court April 5. And most media have ignored the developments concerning the involvement of Judge Walker. One exception is CNBC, which carried an online story with the headline: “Extraordinary Conflict of Interest: Bush Cousin Presides Over Federal Court Case Against Former Bush Administration Officials.” Good for them, but this is an all-too isolated exception. That the story is being kept almost entirely out of the media further reveals that the idea of a free and vigorous press is largely a fantasy.

Gallop, a former U.S. Army executive administrative assistant (with top secret clearance), is suing for damages in connection with injuries she and her newborn son suffered in the supposed terrorist attack at the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001. The two were injured when the allegedly hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 supposedly slammed into the building.
