Now maybe there will be more coverage of whistle blowers and the attempt to keep them from saying anything to the public via mass media.

3. Isn't Washington Times a right-leaning news organization? |
|
Oh, I hope so this is true.
The White House is already getting their attack dogs ready for character assassination. If I would be her, I would fear for my life.

I have never heard of this story before. This is headline, front page stuff. How long has this info been out there? Is this a smoldering volcano waiting to explode? If I turn on Inside Politics today will I see it there too?

11. "Yes", the Washington Times is real Conservative! And "Yes", |
|
the story has been around for a few days. Buzz Flash, Daily Kos or John Marshal probably reported it. I'll not want to miss Inside Politics or Crossfire today. Bush must be :scared: s***less.
All hell :nuke: is going to break out...and we can all :party: :D

8. Sometimes the Times surprises. Remember this story: |
|
One of the most buried of all Bush family scandals: an adolescent callboy ring, operating under the protection of Republican leaders and the CIA to "reward" assets and ensnare enemies for the purpose of blackmail, is given late-night tours of the White House as a reward for good service. The Times broke the White House tours story, though the reporter was soon after, I believe, squeezed out of his job and his files went missing. http://www.voxfux.com/features/bush_child_sex_coverup/franklin.htmhttp://sandiego.indymedia.org/en/2003/03/4516.shtmlhttp://www.thelawparty.com/FranklinCover-up.htm

14. I guess now we know why Condi wanted to change her story |
|
about saying that they had no indication that terrorists might use airplanes. If a senior administration official tells a lie and then makes it "inoperative" is it still a lie?

15. Do you feel any safer now than four years ago? |
|
Will this story convert any of the Neo-Clones or will they still try to smear the messenger.
There is this constant drip drip drip. Every week now, something new comes out about the Mis-administration. Every week, they have someone new to discredit. How long can they keep this up?
I went back to make sure it wasn't dated yesterday and would be retracted later as a joke. No, the date is April 2.

if the WT picked up the story, it could be a sign that chimpy's masters have decided to cut him loose. I like to start the day with a positive thought.

Bush must feel like Saruman atop his tower watching his forces being washed away by the torrent of water from the broken dam near Isenguard.

18. Knowing this, now, can Bush & Cheney be required to testify under oath? |
|
What adjustments need to be made, now, acting on this information. Can the 9-11 panel bring it to a grand jury? No wonder the WH traded Condi for their "not under oath" testimony...
Haul them in and lay their criminal hands on the Bible. Its the Christian Right Wing way. The blood of so many innocent US citizens, military personnel, and Iraqi's continues to drip from the walls of the Oval Office.. The House of the American people. Impeach and send them to prison.
We, on DU, have known the truth all along. Bush Knew..

20. Ok, now I want to see Cheney questioned as to why he got a |
|
gag order placed on this woman.
The answer is obvious, but I still want to hear the question posed.

21. I don't trust the Times. |
|
Watch this woman turn out to be an escaped mental patient or have some serious skeletons in her closet. Then the Busheviks can cry, "Just look at the length the Bush-haters will go to to make him look bad." I hope I'm wrong, but I will repeat, I do not trust the Washington Times.

23. What some are saying... |
|
Some are saying that the documents warning of impending attacks with airplanes could not have been used by officials because the documents were not translated until after 9/11/2001.

26. They were "retranslated" after 9/11 to be made more innocuous, |
|
as I understand it.
Anyway didn't Condi admit all this in her "traditional hijacking" press conference? It was right after one of the NYC tabloids ran a story with a bold headline "BUSH KNEW."

22. Ashcroft will be before the Commission in 2 weeks |
|
I think Mueller will be testifying publically before the Commission as well. I don't see how they can ignore this woman's testimony and they will HAVE to ask Ashcroft and Mueller about the gag order. This should be great fun for the entire family. :D
