Hillary Clinton isn't qualified to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court--but this posting makes it sound like she would make a Jim Dandy Chairman of an Auto Dealership Chain...

All Quiet on the Western Front, an anti-war novel by Erich Remarque, later became popular slang for a lack of action...

As well as the auto dealerships, Rep. Buchanan also owns two reinsurance companies in the British West Indies; "The Internal Revenue Service has stepped up efforts in recent years to investigate offshore reinsurance companies, and has urged Congress to change laws that help people benefit from these offshore tax havens," Wikipedia--Vern Buchanan.

Now, on the subject of conflict of interest..., recently, Congressman Henry Waxman has been much lauded for his efforts at Govt. reform...; in fact, Waxman, a strong supporter of Isreal, has been less than forthcoming about investigating the corruption exposed by a former FBI translator turned whistleblower...

"Most Americana have never heard of Sibel Edmonds, and if the U.S. government has its way, they never will. The former FBI translator turned whistleblower tells a chilling story of corruption at Washington's highest levels--sale of nuclear secrets, shielding of terrorist suspects, illegal arms transfers, narcotics trafficking, money laundering, espionage.

Her charges could be easily confirmed or dismissed if classified government documents were made available to investigators.

But Congress has refused to act, and the Justice Department has shrouded Edmond's case in the state-secrets privilege, a rarely used measure so sweeping that it precludes even a closed hearing attended only by officials with top-secret security clearances.

After five years of thwarted legal challenges and fruitless attempts to launch a congressional investigation ... Edmonds approached the Sunday Times of London. On Jan. 6, the Times ... featured a long article. the news quickly spread around the world ...--but not in the United States.

... Nine days after 9/11, Edmonds took a job at the FBI as a Turkish and Farsi translator. Over nearly six months, Edmonds listened with increasing unease to hundreds of intercepted phone calls between Turkish, Pakistani, Isreali and American officials. When she voiced concerns about the processing of this intelligence--among the irregularities, one of the other translators maintained a friendship with one of the FBI's 'high value' targets--she was threatened. ...Edmonds approached the two Department of Justice agencies with oversight of the FBI and sent faxes to Sens. Chuck Grassley and Patrick Leahy on the Judiciary Committee. The next day she was called in for a polygraph. According to a DOJ inspector general's report, the test found that 'she was not deceptive in her answers.' But two weeks later, Edmonds was fired; her home computer was seized; her family in Turkey was visited by police and threatened with arrest if they did not submit to questioning about an unspecified 'intelligence matter.'

When Edmonds's attorney filed suit to obtain the documents related to her firing, Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft imposed the state-secrets gag order. Since then, she has been subjected to another federal order, which not only silenced her, but retroactively classified the statements she eventually made before the Senate Judiciary Committee and the 9/11 Commission.

Prior to 2006, Congressman Henry Waxman of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committe promised Edmonds that if the Democrats gained control of Congress, he would order hearings into her charges. But following the Democratic sweep, he has been less forthcoming, failing to schedule hearings, refusing to take Edmonds's calls, and recently stonewalling all inquiries into the matter."
