New from Greg Palast - Irony of Ironies
http://www.gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=396&row=0

An international election observer mission - from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the European Parliament, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly and the Council of Europe - released a preliminary report on Monday declaring that the election did not meet democratic standards.


The observers' findings were seconded by Republican Senator Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.


Citing the disturbing fact that official results diverged sharply from a range of surveys of voters at polling places, Lugar said, "A concerted and forceful program of election-day fraud and abuse was enacted with either the leadership or cooperation of governmental authorities."



Jeez - Apparently it's only disturbing in the Ukraine.

1. Funny
To think Lugar is not reachable... Just goes to show you that this country needs to remove its collective heads from its asses.
