What is a Mentat? You need to brush up on your Frank Herbert then. Mentats were human computers that served the great Houses of the Lansdraad.

An all-too plausible scenario
Thanks to my Dad for sending me this article. Sadly, this scenario looks all too possible. The only silver lining that I can see is that it should provide some vindication to President Bush eight years after Florida. Americans will see once again that there is no depth to which the Democrats, and especially the Clintons, will not sink in their quest for power.
Thanks for stopping by. Yes, Barbara Olson was married to the author, Theodore Olson. She was killed on board American Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon.
There was talk of Olson succeeding Alberto Gonzalez as Attorney General but it is thought that Bush did not have the stomach or the political capital for a confirmation fight. Hence, the uninspiring Michael Mukasey.
I used to be a Technical Specialist on a U.S. Department of State contract. That meant that I got paid to travel to far-off, exotic locations and work on the computers in US embassies and consulates worldwide. Now I have transitioned to a much more challenging one. I am a biometrics system administrator working for Northrop Grumman (you know, the folks that bring you the B-2 bomber and Nimitz-class aircraft carriers) in Iraq. The base where I am deployed used to be an Iraqi Air Force base. Just before the war started, the Iraqis buried most of the planes in the sand. That's me in front of an Iraqi MiG-29 Fulcrum!

Great read. Wasn't Olsons wife on the plane that crahed into the Pentagon?
Man was worthy to be a Supreme Coutrt Judge.
John,
