9/11 alleged mastermind comes out against Haspel’s nomination as next CIA chief

The alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, like the Senate intelligence panel’s Democrats, has come out against President Donald Trump’s nomination of Gina Haspel to lead the CIA.

Both Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the Democrats question whether Haspel, a longtime CIA agent, is fit to run the agency given her involvement in the torture of prisoners following the attacks in 2001.

Haspel is due to appear Wednesday before the Senate Intelligence Committee for her confirmation hearing.

The Al-Qaeda leader, who was captured on March 2003 and was reportedly tortured, asked a military judge Monday at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to share an attachment titled “Additional Facts, Law and Argument in Support” with the intelligence committee, the New York Times reported.

George Soros News: Soros continues massive cash offensive in Florida

In more George Soros News, the Billionaire political activist George Soros continues to write six-figure political checks in the swing state of Florida ahead of the 2018 elections, the latest being a $250,000 drop to forwarding Florida, a political action committee supporting Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum in his run for governor.

Soros contributed $200,000 to “Forward Florida” in 2017. When adding that to a $50,000 donation from Alex Soros, son of the hedge fund billionaire, the Soros family has staked half-a-million dollars on Gillum via the PAC.

As the Washington Post reported in late April, the Democratic primary races for governor in several states are “emerging as central battlegrounds in the broader struggle for the soul of the Democratic Party.” The same article also pointed out that the governor’s races are sometimes more responsive to the party’s grassroots because, “unlike congressional races, where the parties’ campaign committees have intervened in primaries, there’s no national group that takes sides in choosing the nominee.”Read more.

‘NCIS’ says goodbye to Pauley Perrette season finale

“NCIS” said an emotional goodbye to Pauley Perrette

On Tuesday’s episode, titled “Two Steps Back,” Perrette’s Abby Sciuto bid adieu after 15 seasons on CBS’ veteran procedural — and she received a memorable send-off. After nearly dying following a targeted attack that mistakenly claimed the life of fellow NCIS team member Clayton Reeves (Duane Henry), Abby vowed to ensure that Reeves’ sacrificing his life for hers wasn’t done for naught.

After gathering members of the NCIS team — minus Gibbs — around for her “big announcement,” Abby revealed that she was going to make sure Reeves’ wish for his final resting place to be beside his late mother is met.

“Reeves wanted to be buried next to his mother in London, so I’m going to escort his body there tomorrow and make the arrangements,” she begins. But when she’s asked if she’s “coming back,” Abby tries to communicate to the group that this will be a permanent change.

Florida widow arrested in 2000 cold-case murder of husband

The widow of a man who was reported missing in 2000 after supposedly going on a hunting trip alone was arrested Tuesday after she was indicted on a first-degree murder charge.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement officers arrested Denise Williams, 48, at her Florida State office, the Tallahassee Democrat reported. Williams also faces a count of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and a count of being an accessory after the fact, state attorney Jack Campbell said.

Williams was booked into Leon County Jail and was being held without bail.

Mike Williams disappeared in December 2000 after he supposedly went duck hunting alone on a lake near Tallahassee. Williams’ body wasn’t initially found after an extensive search in and around Lake Seminole and a theory spread that he was eaten by an alligator.

The theory was debunked when Williams’ body was discovered in December 2017, buried under muck near a boat landing in Tallahassee, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.
