CNN spinning O'Neill - "non authority on WMD" -- baby and bathwater
Edited on Sun Jan-11-04 11:38 AM by cthrumatrix
Nevermind the 19,000 pages of data he has.

Nevermind he points on how a decision was made (by his handlers) to go to war with Iraq before 911.

Nevermind the deception of lies made to the public in the SOTU or United Nations

Nevermind the result of this "predetermined policy" of 1000's of deaths.

Nevermind the early 2001 discussion in the book on "oil contractors, countries etc"....


Our liberal media in action --- Nevermind about truth.


Quotes from the CNN reporter in Crawford:
-----------------------------------------
- "this adminsitration is not used to this"
- "such a tight knit group of loyalty"



They want America to throw out O'Neill's facts becuase he's not an authority on that subject.

4. From a historical link on the CNN story page:

at the time of his resignation:

"Bush, a loyalist especially to those in his inner circle, is said to have been particularly frustrated by O'Neill's outspoken and vocal criticism of economic policy decisions promoted by the White House. "

Standard Busb operating procedure is for the White House to make the decisions and the cabinet members to rubber stamp them.

5. So, by CNN's thinking, if you witness a bank robbery in progress
but you're not an "expert" in bank robbery, you'd make an unreliable or poor witness to the crime?

Well alrighty then! Let's open up the gates to all those prisons.
