We would never traffic such private evidence from a family matter involving a minor child. TMZ, the first media outlet to leak the recording, contends that Baldwin’s eleven year old daughter approves of the voicemail being published on their website and that they obtained the voicemail “legally” although the parties to the divorce proceeds and child custody case are bound by a judge’s gag order. We treat family law matters more carefully than other legal matters and with the sensitivity warranted when a child’s emotions are involved, understanding that the consent of a minor is not to be taken at face value.

3,000+ GI’s killed to allow Iraqis to vote. 8 AG’s dismissed to disallow Americans to vote.

It appears the free and unimpeded right to vote is no longer an American virtue in the view of George Bush. It has become clear that one of the reasons for the Karl Rove directed firings of 8 US Attorneys by the Justice Department was to enable the White House to gain greater control over a deliberate vote suppression strategy initiated by former AG John Ashcroft.

Sometime after he killed two people in a Virginia university dormitory but before he slaughtered 30 more in a classroom building, Cho Seung-Hui mailed NBC News an overnight package that included 29 photographs, videos, rambling prose.

Does the Manifesto speak to paranoid schizophrenia or a sane, but deeply evil person. Such inferences will certainly play a role in legal cases that seek to assign liability for the tragedy to university administration who it can be argued under reacted to the many warning signs of Cho’s potential to erupt and to a county magistrate and hospital system (Carilion St. Albans Behavioral Health Center) that failed to monitor a patient who at one point was ruled mentally unfit and “presented an imminent danger to himself as a result of mental illness.”

The television commentators content the manifesto indicates a mental disorder that could have been controled with medication. Yet, the physician who examined him under a commitment order in December, 2005 concluded “His insight and judgment are normal.”

Written in red ink on the arm of Virgina Tech killer Cho Seung Hui, the two word phrase “Ismail Ax” has inspired more theories than the number of background checks required before he could purchase his 9mm gun. Oh… wait a minute. I mean don’t wait a minute. There were no required background checks and no required waiting period before the known psychiatric hospital patient was able to purchase the weapon he used to kill 32 people.

The leading theories:

Biblical: Abraham, known as Ibrahim in Islam (notice how the Koran has to tweak everything from the Old Testament), smashed all but one statue in a local temple with an ax, in protest that people in his hometown worshiped idols and not Allah. His son Isaac is known as Ismail in the Koran. Perhaps Choo was upset no one seemed to worship him. Or was symbolizing his singular worship for a women with whom he was obsessed. Read more
