1. Charles W. Stenholm , D-TX

:wtf:

Didn't Stenholm lose his seat due to DeLay redistricting?

And speaking of that, whatever happened to Pelosi's / DNC's federal lawsuit challenging the legality of the new districts?

ON WASHINGTON JOURNAL

Tuesday, June 7, 2005

7am - Newspaper Articles, Phones & Hotline


7:30am - T.R. Goldman, www.legaltimes.com

8am - Charles Pope, Seattle Post-Intelligencer

8:30am - Tim Penny, Fmr. U.S. Rep. (D-MN) & Charlie Stenholm, Frm. U.S. Rep. (D-TX) | For Our Grandchildren
http://www.forourgrandchildren.org/

***I'm reading his book now, "Common Cents" I'm finding it a bit slow going, but lots of insites on the inner workings of D.C., and little juicy tidbits about some of the long-timers. He doesn't seem to take sides, and the website above calls both the Dems and Repugs to call off the partisan games and deal with the issue of SS.***



9:15 - Jean-Charles Brisard, Author, "Zarqawi: The New Face of Al-Qaeda"
http://www.polity.co.uk/book.asp?ref=0745635725
In recent months, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has emerged as the driving force behind the world’s most feared terrorist organization, Al Qaeda. As Bin Laden’s apparent successor, al-Zarqawi has been labelled ‘public enemy number one’ by the US government and the price on his head has risen to almost 25 million dollars.


Until now, little has been known about al-Zarqawi. Born in Jordan in 1968, he spent the 1980s in war-torn Afghanistan, followed by five years in prison before joining Al Qaeda in 1999. Having quickly gained the confidence of his superiors, al-Zarqawi ran Al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan, where he taught recruits to use chemical and biological weapons. From 2001 onwards, he controlled several regional terrorist groups across Europe, which have been linked to attacks in the UK, France, Russia and the notorious train bombing in Madrid. His armed group, Tawhid and Jihad, is currently terrorizing Iraq, beheading hostages and carrying out deadly attacks across the country.


In this, the first major study of al-Zarqawi, Jean-Charles Brisard takes an in-depth look at the man now widely regarded as the new face of Al Qaeda. Based on witness statements, official documents and previously unpublished material, Brisard offers a vivid and compelling account of Zarqawi’s rise to power as the incarnation of international terrorism and Islamic extremism.


:wow: This should be interesting....I'm of the opinion that Zarqawi is (1) not real person created by the CIA, (2) regular guy who's getting pinned with everything, or (3)a super-human-bad-ass-one-legged-genius who our guys can't seem to catch. I'll get back to you on that one. :tinfoilhat:
