Exclusive: Lawyer Reveals Expert Witness Findings. David Hardy is an attorney who has been involved in civil litigation relating to the Waco raid of 1993. Hardy had significant dealings with Carlos Ghigliotti, an expert Congress had hired to review infrared film taken during the FBI raid of the Koresh compound. For the first time Hardy reveals what Ghigliotti told him about the film. [NewsMax.com] I just found this story, which is over three years old. It's about what Congress' own expert (who mysteriously died of a heart attack at age 42 weeks after submitting his report) found about the murder of the Branch Davidians. It's worth remembering that the US Federal government has murdered far, far more people than Osama bin Laden. 10:21:03 PM    comment () ABORTING THE BIRTH OF A NEW IRAQ. Adam Reed has written a fascinating and terribly disheartening article about why Poland will not be helping in the reconstruction of Iraq. Adam's article documents what went wrong; Adam was just recently in Poland, where one of his friends was involved in these aborted plans. What is terribly significant is that Adam discusses the overall problem of what is grievously wrong in our reconstruction plans, faults which I discussed at some length here. Here is how Adam describes it in... [The Light of Reason] I wasn't aware that the Poles had offered any such plan. The Feds' response is completely predictable, though. 2:51:19 PM    comment () Flyer at The High Road - Kel-Tec's SU-16: A Short Review - he likes it. Big time. Includes pictures. [highroad] Nope, it's not going to replace my AR-15s...but then again, I can't think of any rifle that could. However, the AR-15 is a pretty good tank of a military rifle, designed for harsh conditions that would unreasonably challenge a rifle designed primarily for civilian use. Too, the AR-15 is Match-Accurate, and that's important. I wouldn't ask a rifle to equal the versatility of the AR-15. The SU-16, however, is everything Kel-Tec promised it would be, and more. It's accurate, light, easily storable, reliable, uses AR magazines, and digests any kind of ammo. What can I say - it beat out my beloved AR-180. I wouldn't have believed it possible if I hadn't proved it to myself! To sum it up, I've got a new favorite fun/plinking/varmint rifle... ...and I'm ordering another one tomorrow! ... Marty at Kel-Tec told me last night [9/17] that full production started up on Monday of this week, and they're really cranking them out now. So, it looks like they're going to start showing up all over the place in a month or so. [End the War on Freedom] Kel-Tec still hasn't decided whether to sell the SU-16 in California, but even if they don't I should be able to buy one from an out-of-state gun dealer, since the rifle doesn't violate any of California's insane "laws." Once they become widely available, I'll do just that. 1:52:12 PM    comment ()
