 Michael Ruppert in his From The Wilderness 2003 10 20:It's easy to like Dennis Kucinich. . . He [has] addressed any of our issues. The three he has addressed . . . Iraq -- the fraudulent intelligence leading to the invasion, his clear and unequivocal opposition to it, and his call for a US withdrawal; the Patriot Act, which he wants to repeal . . .
But he has not . . . made any effort to pursue the glaring unanswered questions of 9/11.

There is a man occupying a pivotal position in Dennis Kucinich's campaign that I am extremely leery of . . . attorney Daniel Sheehan.
[Sheehan] literally destroyed two of the best and biggest lawsuits connected to CIA drug dealing in history: the Christic Institute lawsuit in the 1980s and a civil suit arising from the murder of Marine Col. James Sabow at El Toro Marine Air Station after Sabow had discovered CIA-connected C-130s flying tons of cocaine onto his base in 1990 and 1991. . .
Sheehan raised hundreds of thousands of dollars from victims and activists (Christic) and from the Sabow family, only to drag litigation out over a period of years and, through egregious legal conduct, destroy suits that could have changed the course of history. . . .
An excellent history of Sheehan's record is contained in a February 2000 story by [Nick Schou of The Orange County Weekly].

Richard Scheck is a political activist and researcher who was a classmate of Sheehan's at Harvard Law. . . .
Scheck was a volunteer for the Kucinich team when he saw that Sheehan was positioning himself to play a major role in developing policy and strategy for Kucinich. He spoke personally with the Congressman, as well as several high-level aides, in an attempt to have a potential problem dealt with at the earliest possible moment.
"Dennis and his team are six months late in addressing this. I alerted them back in March and was ignored," Scheck told FTW. Much more detailed info from Ruppert at source link.
The Sabow case has be reopened.
