Wiliam Kristol has a Secret Service detail assigned to him.
Edited on Fri Oct-06-06 07:06 AM by Skidmore
There's a video at YouTube entitled "PNAC ring leader William Kristol confronted on 9/11 (PART 2)" which is a conversation between the guys who confronted Kristol at a speech he gave in Texas. They were confronted for their protest and the questions they asked by the local police and a Secret Service man. Now why would Kristol have the Secret Service with him? They were there trolling for dissidents, not protecting Kristol, is my guess. These guys also said that there was a girl "cataloging" the audience, and mostly them, by taking photographs.

1. Was he the only one speaking?
If he was speaking at an event with administration hacks in attendance, then the secret service would be there.

4. He was the only one speaking, but apparently the event was
held on the campus of a state university and was at the invitation of a guy named Bobbitt, I think.

6. When I first saw your post title, I thought you meant Cheney, as in
Lynn Cheney, who is actively engaged in trying to snuff out academic freedom and free speech.

5. Did the guy identify himself as a Secret Service man?
Just checking it wasn't a private bodyguard who patterns himself on the SS model.

9. That's what the young man said. That the guy identified himself
as being with the Secret Service. I don't understand how to post the URL to that specific film clip. The people talking on the film are identified as Alex Jones, Kevin Smith and Aaron Dykes. I'm not familiar with these guys but they sound like they must do some regular media work.

16. Alex Jones is a nutjob.
Assuming it's that Alex Jones, he's a 9/11 conspiracy theorist who thinks Bill Clinton murdered Vince Foster.

7. Makes sense.
Kristol is as much a part of this administration as anybody who holds an official title. That's why when he said on the Colbert Report that he wouldn't consider going nuclear in Iran, I take that as official policy. Kristol is as much a policy-maker as Cheney.

12. That Is The Real Question
Also, remember the scenes in Fahrenheit 911 in which it was noted that the Secret Service also guards the Saudi Embassy at our expense.

13. So why are my tax dollars going to protect this puke?
I demand an investigation. I actually have met this guy, and he is one arrogant sob.

17. He's a private citizen. How does he rate Secret Service protection?
I thought the Secret Service only provided protection for the President and Vice President and their families and former Presidents.

18. No, they do much more than that. And apparently protect some
Saudi embassies, too, see F 911.
