| NOTES
FROM
THE
EDITOR - TODAY IS FRIDAY, MAY 6,
2011 |

administration’s interrogation techniques – including from the current
power structure when it wasn’t so powerful – I find it fascinating that
the information obtained was instrumental in taking bin Laden out. See
stories. Also in News:
Bush-Era Interrogations Provided Key Details on Bin Laden’s Location;
and Geithner warns Congress on need for debt boost, extends default
deadline. Community: SafeHaven needs computer volunteers. Letters: GCS District Voters... Thank you for your support. Blogs: Townhall.com’s Washington Beat; and Beating Back Our National Debt. For
