The White House has denied (see previous clipmark) but award-winning journalist Suskind summarizes his sources and defends his allegations on Democracy Now (see first podcast "listen" link).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The second podcast, Aug. 14, includes House Judiciary Chair John Conyers who has already started an investigation under way which will lead to some kind of action.  Conyer's stated the the Senate Intelligence Committee, headed by Jay Rockefeller, has the power to review classified documents to verify this. &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:#e5e5e5"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.democracynow.org/shows/2008/8" title="http://www.democracynow.org/shows/2008/8"&gt;www.democracynow.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;

Fiction based upon so much reality.  Manchurian candidates have and do exist.  The programming of naive or deceived individuals into programmed killers is a lesson in both mind control reality and also how it can "blow back".   After all, "what goes around, comes around".  It's a divine axiom of justice. &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:#e5e5e5"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_2807.shtml" title="http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_2807.shtml"&gt;onlinejournal.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="article_title"&gt;The Bourne paradox: the hunted as hunter&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;This headline is not

water-boarding and the fire-power of his first kill, Bourne becomes instead a
near-perfect, “Manchurian Candidate,” a super-human programmed killer, working
