Love the source. FreeRepublic.com "A Conservative News Forum"

"The United States MAY have had an active role in carrying out last week's bombing of an international nightclub, members of a panel said at a campus round-table discussion Friday. "

""The information received is that several groups are being looked at more closely," said Jeffrey Hadler, a UC Berkeley professor of South and Southeast Asian studies. "The most important thing is to wait for the investigation." "

Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Oh yeah, and

to you to.

so, lets see if I understand this corectly- a bunch of stoned college kids from berkley got togethter to talk about the bomb, and one of them says between tokes "hey, the us gov't might have done it" and some dipshit quotes him as a source?

AFAIK at this point there is about as much evidence that the US did it as there is that al qeda did it, but it is accepted as fact that al qeda is guilty. maybe it was a rival night club owner.
i blame Wild Bill Stealey

sniped from another BB....

""Al Qaeda has turned into this incredibly convenient phantom,"...like the klan?"

Like the Religious Right? Like the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy? Like "Gun-nuts"?

unsnip...

Who cares what a panel at Berkley says? They lost all credibility nearly 30 years ago.

didn't the unibomber teach at Berkley?

GRUNHERZ · « **Reply #7 on:** October 21, 2002, 04:22:41 PM »

Yep he was a math professor there during the 1960s IIRC, is it any wonder he became a terrorist?

UC Berkely is on top of a hill mostly and sorrounded by lots of trees, someday I hope this situation will prove to be very convenient for some enterprising people sometime down the road.... You know that incense stick can sometimes fall down and start fires.

the Nobel Prize means nothing , it's like the J D Powers award, everybody gets one.

"1968 - Luis Alvarez (Physics) "

Are you ticked that they wouldn't let you in because they had a "Must know bigger number from smaller number" prerequisite?

Saying the 60's changed America is about as tough a call as saying Hitler was a bad guy.

Saying that it was changed for the worse is just plain wrong, and using the Nobel gap at Berkeley to make your point is ... well... beneath you.

1st. Most colleges or universities would give their right nut for just ONE Nobel Laureat.
2nd. If your theory holds true, there should be a gap in Nobel prizes for American scientists in the 60's. Berkeley wasn't the only place where people did drugs you know.

Literature - 1962 Steinbeck

Physics - 1969 Gell Mann (CIT),1968 LUIS W. ALVAREZ (Berkeley),1967 HANS ALBRECHT BETHE (Cornell), 1965 RICHARD P. FEYNMAN (MIT), 1965 JULIAN SCHWINGER (Harvard), 1964 CHARLES H. TOWNES (MIT), 1963 EUGENE P. WIGNER (Princeton), 1963 MARIA GOEPPERT-MAYER (UC San Diego), 1961 ROBERT HOFSTADTER (Stanford)

Chemistry - 1968 LARS ONSAGER (Yale), 1966 ROBERT S. MULLIKEN (University of Chicago), 1961 MELVIN CALVIN (Berkeley)
PEACE - 1964 MARTIN LUTHER KING JR., 1962 LINUS CARL PAULING (CIT, also Chemistry in 1954)

Physiology or Medicine - 1969 MAX DELBRÜCK (CIT), 1969 ALFRED D. HERSHEY (Carnegie Institution), 1969 SALVADOR E. LURIA (MIT), 1968 ROBERT W. HOLLEY (Cornell), 1968 HAR GOBIND KHORANA (University of Wisconsin, Madison), 1968 MARSHALL W. NIRENBERG (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda), 1967 HALDAN KEFFER HARTLINE ( Rockefeller University), 1967 GEORGE WALD (Harvard), 1966 PEYTON ROUS (Rockefeller University), 1964 KONRAD BLOCH (Harvard), 1961 GEORG VON BÉKÉSY (Harvard).

CIT - California Institute of Technology

Where is that drug gap again? Silly Ripsnort.

Wow Target... you win.

The thread is about retarded political comments but you have to thrown in that berkley has great phisics and chemistry (and apparently a decent economics dept) as if its relevant.

Tell me once again.. what does that do to qualify the above group's findings?

I've met quite a few PhD's that were glad to be from Berkley... well away from Berkley.

It is a joke as far as anything political goes. Deep down.. you must know that.
