Recall the "secret" document shown on 60 Minutes ?

[kentuck]

It was about splitting up the oil fields in Iraq. Was this from the documents that O'Neil turned over to Suskind? If so, isn't this the same document that was turned over to that gadfly at Judicial Watch? If so, does that mean that other documents from the secret Cheney Energy meetings are on that same CD? If so, what does tha mean? Will we finally find out who and what was discussed at those meetings?

1. I was thinking the same thing....

while watching 60 Minutes. I told my hubby that is the real reason those energy meetings are such a secret!

2. And why were they secret?

To protect our national interest or to protect the republican party? They should not be considered SECRET as in classified but as Secrets that cheney and bush and other evil forces do not want the american people to know. For example, the identity of the person in the White House that exposed a CIA operative. That is a secret bush does not want to reveal but is not classified information. The sorriest bunch of human beings ever assembled.

3. It's all coming together now

but watch out 'cause hell hath no fury like a sinking Cheney.

4. As Watergate progressed the dots started to be connected...

I find it very intriguing that there now seems to be reasonable connections between the energy task force, 9/11, and the pre-emptive attack on Iraq.

Motive, Opportunity, Evidence of Comission of the Crime. I'm not a prosecuter so I'll just continue to write novels concerning life in the US after the robber-baron take-over. Its really not a new genre, just a slightly different spin on Slater's post-militia movement books.

It ain't literature, but if it feeds me, what do I care?

5. That looked like what Judicial Watch posted on their site in July

I recall seeing that very map of Iraq's oilfields last year.

6. It would be good to know if the "secret" document was from CBS library

or was from Suskind's CD? Can we get together a few burglars and get into Mr Suskind's office? We need to get that CD out of his hands. Just like Watergate, for sure. I would not be surprised. I hope Suskind is smart enough to know what he has in his hands.

7. I think you are dreaming if you think any of those documents will see

the light of Day. Treasury Dept will impound them until after the election anyway and I suspect for ever.

8. Just like they tried to impound Ellsburg's files?

But somehow they managed to make it to the front page of the NYTimes and became known as the Pentagon Papers.

9. that was when there was a free press and an independent Supreme

Court.

As I recall, Nixon tried to stop the publication by the NY Times (they were a REAL newspaper then) and the Supreme Court (NOT the 12-12-00 one) said WH couldn't stop publication.

If the sit-ins (1960+), the freedom rides (1961+), the Birmingham attempt to register to vote (1963?), Mississippi Summer (1964), the March on Selma (1965) - happened with media and courts like they are today: it wouldn't be reported, the courts would jail the protestors, and Blacks in the south would still not be able to vote.
