"The Public's Right to Know all about Judith" (A great read/Aspens)
Edited on Sun Oct-09-05 11:53 AM by KoKo01
All along, the neocon plan was very simple – even elegant. Before the war, they would make a ruckus about Iraq’s phantom weapons of mass destruction. After, the war they would claim it was all a big mistake based on an honest ‘intelligence failure’ and place the blame on Chalabi – who was counted on to fall on his sword as a ‘hero in error.’ Enter Ambassador Wilson with his assertions that the Niger Yellow Cake Uranium was an amateurish hoax. Even if Chalabi had volunteered to take the blame for the ‘Niger’ scam, he couldn’t credibly take the fall for ‘bad intelligence’ that originated in Italy by way of the Tel Aviv.

Wilson’s unforgivable crime was that he had blown up the bridge to the neocon fallback ‘intelligence failure’ position. With a single article, he managed to mess up the neocon plan to divert attention from the Office of Special Plans – the Pentagon assembly line charged with systematically manufacturing bogus intelligence.

Fortunately for Sulzberger and his in-house neocon brigades, his paper wasn’t the only major news outlet to team up with the administration in executing the WMD propaganda campaign. You could find Judith Miller clones embedded in virtually every mass media corporation. Sulzberger’s rivals had no incentive to take him down a notch. At CNN, Wolf Blitzer played Judy’s role with Likudnik passion. Charles Krauthammer was the anointed Miller impersonator at the Washington Post. As for FOX, Rupert Murdoch insisted that his whole crew show up in Judy Miller drag to perform their neocon chores.

Before getting out of jail, Miller insisted that the Grand Jury confine their inquiry to Lewis Libby’s role in outing Valerie Plame. If she ever comes clean with what she knows about the WMD hoax – it would cause a volcanic eruption on the political landscape of the United States. But it would also expose the role of the New York Times in duping their readers into supporting the Iraq war. The price of doing that would require both Sulzberger and Miller to accept their fair share of the blame for a monstrous and unnecessary war that has wasted so much in blood and treasure. That’s not going to happen. So much for Miller’s concern about our right to know ‘what governments and powerful corporations don't want us to know.’

1. People always denigrate those that believe in conspiracy theories.
I don't know why, there's been conspiracies since the first two knuckle draggers got together and decided to bump off knuckle dragger number three for his bananas.

Julius Caesar was victim to one of the most notorious conspiracies in history.

4. This sums it up..
"Miller continues to assert that she isn’t “covering for anybody”. Technically, that’s not a lie. Because Judith Miller is “covering for everybody” involved in a very elaborate campaign of deception engineered by a consortium of government and mass media operators. Incidentally, Federal law specifically prohibits intelligence operatives from waging a propaganda campaign against American citizens."

sultzberger should be indicted right along with whomever else is on the LIST..

"Did Sulzberger hold daily meetings to direct the misinformation traffic? What role was Thomas Friedman assigned in the WMD hoax? When William Safire was not busy ghost writing editorials for Ariel Sharon – was he conferring with Sulzberger on which neocon warmonger should be invited to write a guest editorial?"

We were Lied to in a mass conspiracy by the cheney/rove machine and the m$m. I feel fortunate that I wasn't one who fell for their heinous crimes against humanity..Is it any wonder I haven't read a newspaper or watched m$m since Nov 6, 2002? I am grateful to those who are able to go on reconnaissance and learn what the ENEMY is up to, though. Necessary Evil.
