To Janet Reno; I have read many of your blogs and for the most part I agree with you but let me clear one thing up...Daniel T. Frawley is not Ayham Alsammarae. He to was a partner with Tony Rezko on the Companion Security deal but he is no relation with Alsammarae. Daniel T. Frawley was the second child of eight children raised in Westchester Illinois and now renting a home in Western Spings Illinois. Frawley was fired from the Chicago police department for racial slurs against fellow officiers he is well known for his violent behavior with many judgments against him for assault and millions of dollars in judgments against him for non-payment...When Frawley was bidding for the Companion Security deal he had no office, and no home of his own he was living with his sister Maureen Frawley also an ex-police officier. He is well known in Forest Park, Il. for staging the robbery of his sisters home of 3 guns and $100,000 in cash (he was hoping to collect the insurance). When police told him they were going to notify the feds, the money and guns magically reappeared.

Attached is an article from the Suntimes, Please notice the dates in P.26 ON APRIL 26th the now indicted John Harris directed Home Land Security advisor Jill Morganthaler to find a military site for the training of Iraqi police forces...skip down 6 more paragraphs to the date of the robbery IT's April 27,06...Could it be a coincedence the date of the email and the robbery, I don't think so.

Obama’s efforts to connect to the Republican Party, specifically Bush, and Dick Chaney, of the Halliburton Company, dates back to the Presidents Grandfather, Prescott Bush, and indeed Chaney was once an executive officer of Halliburton.

The American military pounds Iraq with Artillary, bombs, and the like, destroying large sections of cities, and infra-structures, then Halliburton comes in to rebuild. Halliburton and Halliburton associated companies have raked in ten’s of billions.

Obama is just like the BIG HALIBURTAN. Haliburton has contracted to build detention centers in the U.S. similiar to the one in Quantanammo Bay, Cuba. Halliburton does nothing to earn the Two Dollars for each meal an American Serviceman in Iraq eats.

Halliburton was scheduled to take control of the Dubai Ports in The United Arab Emiirate. The deal was canceled when Bush was unable to affect the transfer of the American Ports.

Now we see what some might suspect as similiar financial escapading from the Democrats.

Two years ago, Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity gave a $50 million contract to a start-up security company - Companion- owned by now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO) Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley, to train Iraqi power-plant guards in the United States. An Iraqi leadership change left the deal in limbo. Now the company, Companion Security, is working to revive its contract.

Involved along with Antoin “Tony” Rezco, long time friend and neighbor of Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, and former cop Daniel T. Frawley, is Aiham Alsammarae. Alsammarae was accused of financial corruption by Iraqi authorities and jailed in Iraq last year before escaping and returning here.

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON --

Obama should be vetted and disclose his connection to the criminal money generating underworld. Besides, his connections to the REZCO MAFIA types, his up-coming tax fraud charges — Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM and stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo Police Department Buffalo Creek.

As a graduate of Marinette High School (Class of 1992), I will point out that Marinette, Oconto and Forest Counties are definitely in a Wisconsin media market, specifically Green Bay. The southeastern UP is also more influenced by Wisconsin media than Michigan (see, for example, the number of Packer fans in that area).

I haven't lived there for thirteen or fourteen years, so I can't say why they went to Clinton, but it wasn't because they weren't getting the same advertising as Green Bay and the Fox Valley was.

You are probably right about the western counties which are closer to the Twin Cities.
