Blitzer implies criminality by O'Neill

[grasswire]

Blitzer opened with the tease that O'Neill may have committed a crime by removing SECRET papers from Treasury Department.

A moment later, he mentions that SECRET document shown on 60 minutes.

A moment later, he reports that CBS says they did not show and do not have a SECRET document, just the cover for the document.

A moment later, he reports that Ron Suskind says HE does not have a SECRET document, just the cover for it.

It's getting nasty out there.

[Timefortruth]

1. O'Neill side of the story is that everything he left Treasury with was

vetted by the attorneys there. I'm sure that that is true, but will it matter?

After all it is hardly covered anywhere is it?

[Jacobin]

2. Hmmm, Pentagon Papers redux?

IraqNam, even down to the leaked "secret" documents?

[Must_B_Free]

21. Same thing happened in Vietnam / Nixon?

help the age challenged, please

[Richardo]

22. Pentagon employee Daniel Ellsberg leaked VN war plans to the NYT

Eventually, and indirectly, brought about Watergate and the demolition of Nixon.

[Faygo Kid]

3. God help us all. They are going after him.

I thought Rove would advise some quick dismissal of O'Neill; criticism by Limbaugh, Hannity and his other orcs, then drop it. I was wrong. They are sending a message, and it's from the top (it becomes clearer every day that Bush is megalomaniac): No criticism allowed. Ever. The importance of this next election just got ratcheted up a notch, folks. Keep talking now. May not see you here in 2005.

4. Opposing the BFEE with real facts is a crime under the soon to

be revealed Patriot Acts 3 through 9. In fact Act 7 makes all actions against the BFEE crimes retroactive to Jan, 20, 2000.

Case closed. Paul O'Neill has officially become a "person of interest".

[Richardo]

5. Bollocks to the source! The question is: Is what O'neill says true?

Don't let them get off the subject and focus on the messenger - hammer on the facts revealed by the MESSAGE, "stolen" documents or not.

[TacticalPeek]

6. Did Blitzer apologize for his blatant misreporting?

Could he name the law or regulation that was infringed?

Thought not.

The 'national security' secret they are trying to hide is how rotten this bunch is at the core.

7. Blitzer: Demolishing the truth with a blitzkreig attack..

..of intense media whoredom!

[Cush]

8. Kelly Anne.....

Ditz alert!

[ClintonTyree]

9. Blitzer is such a whore..............

if he'd report HALF of the illegal and immoral crap the Bush administration has done Dumbya wouldn't stand a chance in November. But good ole' Woolfy has got his nose so far up this administrations ass he'll have to have it surgically removed.

[Guaranteed]

40. Yeah, I sent him a nasty email.

Told him to start doing his job, and that he was nothing but a shill for the RNC.

[Gysgt213]

10. Just them announcing an investigation is enough for their supporters

O'Neil has been discredited.

[rumguy]

11. Has Wolf discussed how his own poll shows that most belive O'Neill?

[lovedems]

12. It is a play on words. "possibly classified"

They know those documents aren't classified. That is bull shit. It is the typical "lead by fear". Next, these documents will be a threat to national security. It is the same old song and dance.

[salinen]

13. This is an important crossroad

If O'neil is a criminal or a savior. If he is criminalized by the reich, we are fucked big time.

[rumguy]

14. we can't let him be criminalized by the reich..

[HardRain]

17. O'Reily is NOT the issue!

Ron Suskind is no fool. He is not about to use "stolen documents" or the ravings of some fool. The book comes out tomorrow. Get it and let's reconvene. There is a lot more there than O'Neil.

"If you want peace, work for justice."

[grasswire]

18. welcome to DU, Hardrain!

We need all the help we can get!

Glad you're here!

[newyawker99]

23. Hi HardRain!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[ShimokitaJer]

31. O'Reilly?

Man, I'm so used to seeing that jerk's name that I just skipped over it the first ten times I looked through here.

And, by the way, welcome to DU, HardRain!

[Kanary]

39. Hello HardRain!

Welcome to DU!

:hi: :hi: :hi:

25. "If he is criminalized by the reich, we are

fucked big time."

not true at all.

the book is Suskind's not O'neill's O'neill didn't get a dime for his part as credited source. There were hundreds of other sources as well.

[grasswire]

15. they have to make an example of him.....

....in order to stop any more whistleblowers.

And now Lou Dobbs leads with the same kind of inuendo.

[ComerPerro]

16. Last time I checked

The Bush administration has committed countless crimes.

[Military Brat]

19. Just another media ho whistling past bushco's graveyard

Whatta buncha crap. People are beginning to see through this BS.

How I wish the same treatment had been given to the Plame outing.

[Toots]

20. What does O'Neil have to do with it? It is Suskind that wrote

the book and he has as much right as Novak to keep his sources confidential. It is all hype just to discredit an honest American.

[0007]

24. This is getting interesting to say the least

How will junior wiggle out of this one?

[Firespirit]

26. Purchasing the book

<paranoia>

I wonder what the Bushies intend to do about the book's release? Could there actually be instructions circulating to store owners to get info. about people who buy this book? I know it sounds completely nuts but this kind of suspicion is what we have been driven to, folks....

</paranoia>

In any case, if anything secret WAS leaked, the damage has been done. The book's authors know, many people at the publisher know it, and the public has been made aware that there is a book. If it's pulled, then someone from one of those groups will still leak it on the Internet. And people are FAR too interested in reading anything considered controversial to refuse to purchase this book out of misguided "patriotism."

[Terwilliger]

27. Ladies and Gentleman...America will be destroyed

it's time to give it up

[Media_Lies_Daily]

28. Blitzer should know about criminality...

...he's been supporting the NeoCon Coup since December 2000.

He should face a tribunal just like the rest of the traitors.

[maggrwaggr]

29. I've got a lamp-post with Wolf Blitzer's name on it

when the purge comes, he's gonna be decorating the streets with the rest of them.

Fucking propagandist fascists.

[Don_G]

32. If You Have The Lamp Post

I have the rope and can provide instructions along with a treatise on "tar-and-feathers" and how to leave splinters in a rail they're going to ride out on in their Birthday Suits.

Ouch!

[maggrwaggr]

30. click here to tell Blitzer what you think of him!

don't hold back.

:)

[specimenfred1984]

33. Has PigWolf Ever Implicated PigNovak?

And, did he implicate the other "high officials" interviewed for the book?

Dumb questions, I know. I'm sure he just slandered and smeared everything he could slime up with his lies.

Someone should start a national campaign to verbally assault propagandizing reporters with real questions about their lies, confront the fascists on camera since we can no longer ask our public officials any questions.

[imhotep]

34. imagine if a democrat had the guts

to tell the truth. Hey Bob Graham, what are you waiting for?

[Catherine Vincent]

35. OMG! I'm listening to Washington Journal open phones from

Sunday when this O'Neil business first broke. And the Bush* callers are all saying that it's just sour grapes. These guys are so in love with Bush* it's pathetic. One caller mentioned how O'Neil and Bono were in Africa on that mission and he said they were probably having anal sex...then the moderator cut him off.

These guys are sad and pathetic that they will say anything to try and discredit this guy. They are desperate!

[BackDoorMan]

36. Maybe Bono had an influnce on him...instead of the other way around...

I'm speaking of right-wing ideology and agenda.

Seeing hunger, oppression and truth.

We are just, simply, workers for these fascist fucks, for their immense profit and world power...let's never ever forget it.

[scheming daemons]

37. Just buy the book!

Pay cash. ;)

Make it an instant NYT Best Seller.

Keep it there for weeks.

The investigation will go nowhere. It's already backfiring, as most people in early polls are saying they believe O'Neill.

Keep this story in the news.

The tactics of Rove and company are being exposed. Look at the headlines "Bush FIGHTS BACK", "White House RETALIATES".

Subliminally (or subliminininininally, as W would say), the media is exposing the gestapo tactics of the Rove machine.

Relax folks... and reward Suskind with riches beyond his wildest dreams by BUYING THE BOOK.

[BackDoorMan]

38. Dude, it WILL be a best seller...
