Keep up the great work, damien. When this sorry saga is over, you will made an important contribution. I am always amazed by the ripple effect of an idea or a fact.

It goes like this: "The lion in his den trembles at his approach." <BR/><BR/>I heard it years ago in the motion picture, "Patton", with George C. Scott. It was early in the film and said to Patton by the King of Morocco, presumably upon Patton's receipt of the Grand Cordon of the Ouissam Alaoui. Other recipients of the Order of Ouissam Alaoui include Generals Wesley Clark, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and George C. Marshall.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598093941551759917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-72027000369532287402007-08-08T20:31:00.000-07:002007-08-08T20:31:00.000-07:00Len, thanks very much for the nod to Les Enrages! ...Len, thanks very much for the nod to Les Enrages! <BR/><BR/>Of the several of us who post there, it was myself who wrote the FISA post with the heart/love/liberty meme.<BR/><BR/>I frankly cherish being part of being included in a post called "May the enemies of Democracy tremble."<BR/><BR/>Thank you.Unconventional Conventionisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08541644109127267176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-36012938844702395722007-08-08T19:22:00.000-07:002007-08-08T19:22:00.000-07:00Fuzzflah sez....Overture, curtain lights.

Your posts were always sought out by the regulars. I confess that I am not an expert in what has turned out to be the crime of the century and a cover up that boggles the mind. We are all enriched because someone like you cares enough to hold the liars up to the verifiable record. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work, all!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598093941551759917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-19771754047568656882007-08-08T08:23:00.000-07:002007-08-08T08:23:00.000-07:00Len, Thank you for your thoughtful words and care ...Len, Thank you for your thoughtful words and care in your last column, and a special thanks for sharing your favorite blogs.Diane Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709680778603784433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-83922515473933562232007-08-08T06:28:00.000-07:002007-08-08T06:28:00.000-07:00You deserve the "thinking blog" tag in every way, ...You deserve the "thinking blog" tag in every way, Len. Congratulations. And many thanks for your kind inclusion of my blog in your list. If I may humbly demur, my blog has been a place to post a few of my notes and the work of others. It's far from complete and contains some errors. So now I have no excuse. I'll just have to fix the damn thing! Reorganize, edit, upgrade. It's the least I can do. Thank you, again.<BR/><BR/>It's always been my honour to have my comments welcomed here and to meet people of insight and humanity. The thing about the human condition is always the same: what we hold in common is greater than what divides us. Always has been, always will be. Only the fools and criminals argue otherwise. They've had too good a run for too long. Let's hope things change, particularly for our hard pressed US friends.
