"Is the Attorney General the New King of the United States? by Reggie Rivers This level of secrecy is unprecedented, and the amount of power being granted to the attorney general goes against everything the United States stands for." _______________________________________________________ Nakano comments: In October 2000, with less than 3 months left in his Presidency, Bill Clinton designated the U.S. Attorney General as the Lead Official for Emergency Response... regarding a use or threatened use of a weapon of mass destruction or related materials." With his Order, Clinton transferred the authority and responsibility for Emergency Response from the Department of Defense to the Department of Justice. This was a topic of considerable discussion by members of this List at that time. Clinton's Order was suspicious because of its timing and because it appeared to make no sense. Why issue this Order when both he and Janet Reno had less than 3 months left in Office? Why take the responsibility for managing "Emergency Responses" to "weapons of mass destruction" away from the Dept. of Defense, which is equipped and trained to deal with such emergencies? Why transfer this authority to a Department of lawyers and paper-pushers? Perhaps now we can discern why Clinton ordered this transfer of power. The Attorney General is a political appointee. The Officer Corps of the U.S. Military is not. Janet Reno repeatedly demonstrated she would do her master's bidding,without regard to the laws and the Constitution of The United States. And now a "weapon of mass destruction" (anthrax) has created an "emergency" in this country. And now comes Ashcroft. Even greater powers are being conferred upon him. All of this....in preparation for what? Nakano __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
