Speaker Of House Hastert Allegedly Bribed

[Siamanto]

Hey, Siamanto, I deleted the Vanity Fair article. It's not available on the Vanity Fair website, so whoever is posting it is probably doing so without permission. Just post the link to groong (the other link you had is dead).

Hey, loseyourname,
I apologize for the inconvenience, but URLs are not necessarily persisting resources: as part of their lifecycle they are eventually released - including Groong URLs. In fact, the life span of a Groong URL is less than the average life span of a URL.
In general, it is wiser - from a legal point of view - and proper - from an ethical point of view - to post a document as is without any modifications. A post is a snapshot of the state of world as of the post date and may not reflect the state of world as of the moment it is read.
Thank you for your understanding!

Quite correct. There is just so much space on the page at Groong. Once the article hits bottom, it's gone, it's history. You are lucky if it's good for a whole week.

I'm sure most of the intelligent and well informed posters here remember the real reason that Hastert shelved the Genocide resolution. Which goes to show you that once they are all done with you, they will throw you out like so much trash.

Yeah, but I did a search and this is all over the internet. It's not just on groong.

The guidelines state that we should post nothing more than a link and a paragraph. If there's specific text you want highlighted, you can quote that, too. You're not supposed to post entire articles. I'm not going to delete your other articles since it really isn't that big of a deal, but there are various reasons for the guidelines and they have been discussed before (granted, it was well before you registered).

Did anybody say that it was only on Groong? Obviously, if it was on Groong then it should have also been elsewhere!!!
In any case, I'm not sure I understand you: how that is relevant to what I have said?

I would appreciate if you could post the text of the guideline; that would help. Thanks! I could not find a text that says that an entire document should not be posted! What if I want to highlight the entire document?

[Siamanto]

can you just sum all that up.

CANCELLATION OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION DISCUSSION IN U.S.
CONGRESS - RESULT OF BRIBERY

08.08.2005 03:45

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In 2002 Turkish organizations and diplomats in the
U.S. were going to grant $500 000 to Dennis Hastert, the Speaker of
the U.S. House of Representative for preventing the discussion of the
Armenian Genocide Resolution in the Congress, a FBI agent stated. As
reported by U.S. media Sybil Edmonds, who was working as a FBI
translator will publish in Vanity Fair September edition the
translations of the records proving that Turkish organizations and
Turkish Consulate in Chicago were going to allocate $500 000 for
Hastert's election campaign. The collection of funds was to be
carried out by way of small donations to avoid naming the real
donator. The article to be published questions Hastert's receiving
the sum. However some U.S. media verify that during the election
campaign a great number of minor donations not demanding personal
identification were made. In 2000 Mr. Hastert spoke out for the
discussion of the Armenian Genocide resolution. However President
Clinton called the Speaker and asked to recall the resolution
motivating the request by the possible hardships in U.S. foreign
relations. Afterwards Mr. Hastert recalled the resolution, RFE/RL
reports.
