Is there a bigger story in the 19,000 documents ?

[kentuck]

Than the one about Bush planning to invade Iraq 10 days into his term? Do you think this is the worst that is to come out? i personally doubt it. I think there are other big stories ready to break. I think we may see some documents about Osama and offers to the Taliban and secrets about Afghanistan? There is more to come. If Bush and Rove think they can stop this book, they will do so on "national security" grounds. That would not surprise me. Neither would it surprise me if they attempt to regain all those documents from Ron Siskind and O'Neill. First of all, they have to figure out who else they talked to that was in those meetings...because Suskind said there were "several" anonymous sources besides O'Neill. Nothing disturbs this secretive clan more than this.

1. re: those anonymous sources

What do you want to bet there's a major witch hunt going on right now?

Will there be a Stalinesque "purge"?

God I hope so......!!!! :bounce:

2. There's gotta be enough for 10 major stories.

I wonder what's in there about the 45 million we gave to the Taliban in Summer 2001.

11. Do you think they have copies?

Does he have to turn them over? He got them legally....

[hellhathnofury]

13. I assume they would need a subpoena to do it leagally. But...

it's KKKarl and DickNixon Cheney pulling the strings.

[jpgray]

3. It all builds

As I told Terwilliger, it all chips a little more away. :)

4. Was he part of Cheney's Energy Commission, do you think?

He worked with Cheney for a long time. It'd be pretty good to find out who was on that commission.

5. "Suskind said there were "several" anonymous sources besides O'Neill"

"Washington... is a town with alot of leaks..."

[Nite Owl]

10. Betting that they

will find these 'leakers' before they find the Valarie Palme leaker. But if they get fired too then they can write their own books. Maybe they are finally getting caught in their own web.

6. Going After O'Neil Really Makes Bush Look Weak.

Kentuck, here's hoping that O'Neil will make it just one step eaiser for others to follow his lead.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

9. The harder they go after O'Neill...

..the more obvious it will be that O'Neill can hurt them.

[Q]

7. The Treasury Dept. has 'requested' an investigation into...

...O'Neill possibly showing a 'classified' document on television. (CNN) Looks like the Bushies are on the attack.

8. I Think I Now Believe That O'Neill Has Served Notice

This 60 minutes interveiw was his coming out party.

That bit where he was acting all "Huh, me be attacked for telling the truth?!" was classic.

The the mention of all this documentation, 19,000 pages on CD rom was a message to the admin., loud and clear.

"I got the dirt and it's coming out. Come after me, I don't care, it's coming out anyway, I'm not afraid."

Now, PREDICTABLY, the admin. lashes out vindictively and the Treasury dept. is let loose on him to investigate thus really illuminating the entire incident.

Oh, this is going to get good!

12. book is out TOMORROW --- I'm getting my copy - horses have left the barn

16. The stretch is in the pants.

[kentuck]

21. I would not be surprised if they try to stop distribution....

for national security reasons...

[stevedeshazer]

15. Bushco is getting awfully shrill over this

When the USA PATRIOT act was rammed through Congress, all the Republicans defended it by saying, "if you're not doing anything wrong, you've got nothing to worry about."

They are clearly worried.

Damn, would I ever love to see those docs....

[Gin]

17. wonder if he will be allowed to fly once he gets his "red" sticker....

they will do something more to harrass him..mark my words.

[mikewriter]

18. Waiting for more dirt

to be told. Can't wait. Gonna love it when it happens.

[ThomWV]

19. Watch the Papers Go Away

How long do you think the Bush administration is going to let those pages be out there in public?

[PaDUer]

20. Of course....

there's lot of info on POPS and his thugs that he wants protected. Remember, this gang stops at nothing..However, buy the book(s) before the gang has them pulled from the shelves as they've done on Hatfield's book. Buy a couple for gifts.

[Carni]

22. Wonder if any 911 info will turn up?

Isn't it funny that today it gets announced that bush (and Clinton)
will be questioned? I would not imgaine that O'Neill is some fool without legal representation. This could get really interesting!

[vdeputy]

23. C.I.A.

may be some of the anonymous sources. Saw them on C-Span re: the Valerie Plame affair and they were flat-out furious about what the administration had done. I thought then that they would try to find ways to undermine Bushco.
