It appears that Christiane Amanpour has better intelligence contacts than the US government has. Watch this clip from a 2008 Bill Mahr show: This was 3 years ago! Bush was still in the White House! Apparently the CIA needs to have an intelligence network as [...] It has been an interesting winter here in Souther New Mexico. The El Paso NWS station (actually located in Santa Theresa, NM) set 4 different temperature records in a period of 15 days. On February 2, we set a record for the lowest high temperature.
