Another Octopus?
Posted by Jill | 3:58 PM

In August, 1991, journalist Danny Casolaro was found dead in the bathtub in a hotel room. Casolaro had been working on a book, working title, "The Octopus", in which he had planned to draw connections among various high-level scandals -- including the so-called "October Surprise", which claimed that the Reagan campaign agreed to sell arms to Iran in exchange for holding on to the American embassy hostages until after the 1980 election, thus ensuring a Reagan victory; the Iran-Contra scandal, and the BCCI banking scandal. Casolaro's mysterious death has provded fodder for conspiracy buffs for over a decade.

Today, an explosive diary at Daily Kos seems to indicate another Octopus -- this one involving the CBS memos regarding C-Plus Caligula's Texas Air National Guard service, the thuggish intimidation of vote counters after the 2000 election, Republican dirty trickster Roger Stone, and JimmyJeff GannonGuckert.

Isn't it interesting, how whenever there's one of these intricate webs of sleaze floating around, there's always someone named "Bush" associated with it?
