Comment:
This story is rapidly developing. As of this writing, no decisions have been made as to the fate of John Walker. Be on alert for a divisive battle as to the manner in which the Walker case will be approached. Regardless of what may or may not be proved either for or against Walker, he will be center stage as an American Scapegoat. December 14, 2001 marks the Solar Eclipse at 22 Sagittarius. The day following, Chiron reaches 0 Capricorn, sign of the Goat.
