4. It seems as though its a private registration company
I don't see any contact info, either.

Apparently, these White House plants are getting better at hiding their tracks.

11. That's to prevent spamming
It's actually a huge step forwards. I have an e-mail address which was used ONLY for Network Solutions dating back since 1998 and it currently receives 100+ spams / day. It was never used for anything but the registration, but the renewal stuff is received on that account as well, so it's terrible to go through that inbox...

2. I enjoyed this part......
Atomic Iran
The IFF derives important documentation and direction from Dr. Jerome R. Corsi's book, Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians. (WND Books, an Imprint of Cumberland House Publishing, Inc., publication date March 22, 2005). Dr. Corsi is a principle founder of the IFF and will serve as a primary spokesperson for the organization. Dr. Corsi is also the co-author of the New York Times #1 bestseller Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry.

5. Corsi - now there's an interesting roach who just won't scurry away
How interesting that he is the primary spokesman for this group.

Who knew Corsi cared so much for the average Iranian citizen?

Wonder how much he's getting paid for this? The White House has to reward him for the Swift Boat shit, you know.

Any DUer's willing to research a bit?

10. One thing is true, the technology did come from the US
Edited on Thu Apr-14-05 01:18 PM by DrDebug
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran's_nuclear_program

(...)
After three years of continued controversy and pressure, mostly in the Western media, as of January 2005, neither IAEA has found any evidence to support the charges that Iran has a nuclear weapons program, nor has the US or any other countries provided any evidence to support such claims.

(...)
Background

The foundations for Iran's nuclear program were laid in the 1960 under auspices of the US within the framework of bilateral agreements between the two countries.
(...)

By 1975, The US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, had signed National Security Decision Memorandum 292, titled "U.S.-Iran Nuclear Cooperation," which laid out the details of the sale of nuclear energy equipment to Iran projected to bring U.S. corporations more than $6 billion in revenue.

----
So I short, there are no nuclear weapons in Iran and the technology was no bought. It was provided by the US because it would bring in $6,000,000,000

6. have you read their "action plan"?
I need to take a hot shower.

I'm wondering, still, how much Corsi is getting paid for this?

20. Oh - none taken my fellow Coloradoan
At least I'm assuming you are from your flag.

I'm a Fort Collins native living in North Carolina.

Have you guys dug out of that snow?

21. Have we dug out?
You know how quickly the stuff melts around here. I live in Denver, and I'd guess we got 14 inches here Sunday. Monday, my neighbors (college kids) were outside without shirts, building snow Buddhas and kangaroos. Tuesday, all of it had melted. Today, just shards of kangaroo left.
