She is one of the very few who actually responded to me when I was repeatedly kidnapped (literally) by the Bush administration.  The FBI did nothing to counteract the CIA drug running done in New York Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, Texas, Florida and elsewhere.  As one who\'s ex-girlfriend\'s brother who knew Cheney, Santorum and the rest of the Abramoff crowd, I can attest that the treatment I suffered simply for knowing too much about the cover-ups in Washington lead me to believe that there are far too many of the old school politicians still playing the fields.  All should remember that Panetta goes way back to the Reagan days of Iran Contra and some of those people continued on with the money laundering by the CIA and to which spilled over to the Keating Five.  Panetta is associated with Anthony Lake, Steve Lake illegally held me captive and the cover-up is just sickening.</div>\
