Chiquita wants you to believe that--in spite of the fact that they've admitted supporting terrorists for over a decade--their support for terrorists had no ill effect, like death or kidnapping.

While the nation futilely tries to bail Bear Stearns out of its bad investments, Congress won't even let Americans testifying without exposing their own financial history.

What if the 9/11 Commission had described just how responsible Condi was for 9/11? What if it had more aggressively tried to fix the problems with the FBI?
