Peter was one of a kind to be sure. The first time I met him was at a Del Taco
at 2200 hrs. (he was buying the chain for Far West Services) and he was working
the drive up window! What ‘sold’ him on using us was getting him through
security at LAX for a flight on Pan Am to Japan without having to offload all
his stuff. (Never happen today.) I knew several of the LAPD brass who handled
the airport and told them I was bringing a VIP through. Peter used to wear two
watches, one which was also a calculator, and carried coins and other
miscellaneous things in his pockets. It really bugged him to have to take it
all off since it took so much time. As soon as we walked him around the
scanner, he looked at me and wanted to know ‘How DID you do that?’ I told him I
just dropped his name to some people I knew at LAX security and they bent over
backwards for him. Peter said ‘Bullsh*t, they have no idea who I am. How did
you really do it?’ For the next 3 years, if Peter was anywhere in CA, we were
all but joined at the hip. This included having other company types pulled off
his Gulfstream G-II to accommodate us as he flew around the State.
BTW, there is a special place in HELL waiting for the scum that took his
company away from him on the last day of his life. Peter was tough but fair and
personable to all, and NEVER deserved being treated like that by the Board and
shareholders.

Between the Marines and the CPD, I worked for a division of WR Grace, I met
Peter Grace once when he stopped by my office at Far West Services. He was an
awesome man with a commanding presence and I was proud to have worked for him.

NO NO NO, we need to say a hell of a lot more about it.
Back in the early 80’s I was handling protection for the late Peter Grace (WR
Grace Co. and the Grace Commission Report) whenever he was in CA. The reason it
was needed was because an a$$hole by the name of Bill Ayres and his Weather
Underground had created a Kidnap and Kill list of top American corporate heads.
Peter was #2 on the list.
This inverted thinking is only going to backfire on them, unfortunately it is
going to end up hurting the US and we the people when it happens.

What did Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden have in common?
They both had friends that bombed The Pentagon.
Enough said.

Justice Department Launches Criminal Probe Into Deaths During CIA Interrogations

The Justice Department
<http://www.foxnews.com/topics/politics/justice-department.htm#r_src=ramp> is
moving forward with criminal investigations relating to CIA interrogations of
two detainees who died in the agency's custody.
The decision, announced Thursday by Attorney General Eric Holder, is the result
of a nearly two-year preliminary review into the Bush-era interrogations by
prosecutor John Durham. Though the secretive probe has drawn fierce criticism
from Republicans since it began, Holder reiterated Thursday that he will not
abandon it.
In a statement, Holder said the review looked mostly at "whether any
unauthorized interrogation techniques were used by CIA interrogators, and if
so, whether such techniques could constitute violations of the torture statute
or any other applicable statute."
Though the review now triggers a full investigation into two deaths, Holder
indicated Justice would drop its review of the other cases.
"Mr. Durham and his team reviewed a tremendous volume of information pertaining
to the detainees. ... Mr. Durham has advised me of the results of his
investigation, and I have accepted his recommendation to conduct a full
criminal investigation regarding the death in custody of two individuals. Those
investigations are ongoing," Holder said. "The department has determined that
an expanded criminal investigation of the remaining matters is not warranted."
The investigation into CIA practices, first announced in August 2009, outraged
some lawmakers concerned about the precedent the Obama administration could set
by investigating the war-time actions of its predecessor. Republican lawmakers
revived calls to drop the probe altogether after Usama bin Laden was killed in
a CIA-led raid in Pakistan, claiming Bush-era interrogations played a part in
tracking him down.
Outgoing CIA Director Leon Panetta noted in a statement that, of the two cases
singled out for investigation Thursday, both "were previously reviewed by
career federal prosecutors who subsequently declined prosecution."
Still, he said "no decision" has been made about bringing criminal charges and
pledged CIA cooperation.
"The agency will, of course, continue to cooperate fully in the remaining
investigations," he said. "On this, my last day as director, I welcome the news
that the broader inquiries are behind us. "
With Panetta leaving, the Senate on Thursday voted to confirm Gen. David
Petraeus as his replacement.
Holder did not identify the two death cases that will be further investigated.
But former and current U.S. officials who requested anonymity to discuss an
ongoing investigation said Durham was looking at the deaths of Gul Rahman and
Manadel al-Jamadi.
Rahman died in the early hours of Nov. 20, 2002 after being shackled to a cold
cement wall in a secret CIA prison in northern Kabul, Afghanistan, known as the
Salt Pit. He was suspected of links to the terrorist group Al Qaeda.
Al-Jamadi died in 2003 at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. The death has been
known to the public for years and a military autopsy declared al-Jamadi's death
a homicide.
