The murder, as it turns out, had no connection to the passport scandal involving Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John McCain.

Harris, now being hailed on the right as an American hero, was arrested for marijuana distribution and credit card fraud. He had been receiving info derived from passports -- lots of passports -- from a contact (or contacts) in the State Department. Obviously, this was a simple exercise in theft, especially identity theft. Just as obviously, the cops pressured Harris to snitch on his contact(s). Snitches run certain risks, as Harris discovered.

The original Washington Times article on the murder tried to link it to the passport scandal involving Obama, Clinton and McCain. But a close reading of the story indicates no actual linkage.

Nevertheless, you can bet your bippy (remember when people had bippies?) that the right-wingers will continue to place Harris on the Obama Death List.
