Extreme Measures
EXTREME MEASURES BY VINCE FLYNN. Copywrited 2008.
This is a book of our times. It deals with terrorism by al-Qaeda, CIA operatives who try to stop it and our justice and legislative members who sometimes take fair play for terrorists too far.

Warbirds of the Collings Foundation
I recently viewed some great living history. The Collings Foundation, a group which believes in the preservation of old aircraft, brought three of their WWII aircraft into Eppley airfield. They parked a B-24, B-17 and P-51 at the Tac-Air facility for viewing and rides. It was a great photo opportunity. Among the viewers were two men who piloted the B-24 in combat. It was an honor to shake their hands.
Question
How does our legislative branch work? Lately I have been listening to the news coming out of Washington about these gigantic (a thousand or more pages) bills coming before our congressman; namely the stimulus bill, which passed, apparently unread, and now the health care bill which apparently is too big to read in the time allowed.
So if the congressmen and senators don’t know the specifics of these proposed laws who writes them?
