I'm a HUGE Waxman fan . . . However, when I watched the Lurita Doan/GSA hearing the other night it felt like Waxman had lost some sense of authority. Lurita Doan was as disruptive as possible with the help of Republicans on the panel. Waxman handled it very quietly, accepting the abuse and finally called for her resignation. He didn't try to retaliate verbally -- and Burton was really out of line -- he just accepted it. And, I can see that play because I think we're all hoping for a better day and Waxman's behavior is something we can be proud of.
As someone else mentioned it does feel like we need other parts of this to come together. I think the problem with the Sibel Edmonds information -- and I'm alos a HUGE fan of hers and astonished at her courage -- is that while we're all talking about 9/11 on the internet, it's a foreign substance on TV and on the lips of those who supposedly tell us what's happening every day. If it's not mentioned, then maybe it's not happening? We can see what happened to Rosie O'Donnell and others who have spoken out re the monstrous lies of 9/11. I don't know that Waxman feels he can overcome all of this right now. The official story is quite official: Kean Commission Report, etc. Well, it's a sham . . . but it's there, like the Warren Report. Lies -- of course. But, it exists.
Also -- apologies if I'm misunderstand where all of this is right now because I haven't read the whole thread and I haven't recently visited the Sibel Edmonds website.
Also noticed that RIGGS bank is mentioned . . . and I think that Bush II's uncle is involved with that bank?
I don't think Waxman can do this alone. This subject 9/11 has to be opened up wider. It has to go from the internet to be on the public's lips -- person to person. It has to be come part of radio and we have to continue to try to move newspapers to cover the challenges in a more respectful way. Again, I don't know if Waxman can handle this right now???
In fact, I think we need Courts FIRST to free up the situation so that Sibel Edmonds can freely speak.
