So, there IS a new Deep Throat.
And fortunately, he lives in England, where there are still a few journalists.

That must be where all these memos are coming from--somebody who was involved in those meetings and wants everyone to know what really happened. And thank God this person has access to the British press, which still contains some people who are actually willing to tell this story. You look at the way the American media has handled this--or rather not--and you just want to puke.

:puke:

See?

:banghead:

1. Bushco would ELIMINATE a Deep Throat today.
They would be given a one-way ticket on Wellstone Airways.

17. Yes, you can get to it through the DU store
They're just not running the banner ad any more. It'll always be there. CafePress is a print-on-demand outfit, so they'll never 'run out.'

C ya,

23. If he finds out who the leaker is, he'll off him or her too, even if they
are a British subject. They are heading towards desperate and that's when I get really frightened. What will they do to avoid this coming out completely?

2. Interesting thought.
I think that someone in the United States will stand up soon. It is a strange process: be it the Pentagon Papers, or the Watergate cover-up, it takes a certain amount of "bad" to get someone within the system to take a stance.

9. Collaboration.
Edited on Sun Jun-12-05 10:49 AM by Just Me
There is a significant opposition on the outside, which includes numerous former military, intelligence and diplomats; there are also a growing number of religious and civil rights and human rights leaders joining their voices.

With that support in place, I hope like hell that those on the inside are feeling a bit more safe about attacking this racket to save democracy.

13. There is.....
and they play a significant role. But it is someone from the inside who turns who plays a "deep throat" role, not a member of the opposition. That's one of the reasons we witnessed the high level of hatred from former Nixon administration members when Mark Felt went public. If he were from the opposition, they would have the usual contempt. But when it is one of them, they despise the "traitor" with a passion.

18. Oh, absolutely.
And, this cabal have been VERY careful to keep the circle VERY tight. In this case, one would have to be actively (covertly) gathering information, not just reporting it. That's very difficult and highly, highly dangerous.

We live in such precarious times.

4. or do you mean SHE?
Blair's International Development Secretary, Clare Short ...she never liked the war, and resigned her post in May 2003.

Here's her letter of resignation post on the BBC site:

Dear Tony

I have decided I must leave the government.

As you know, I thought the run-up to the conflict in Iraq was mishandled, but I agreed to stay in the government to help support the reconstruction effort for the people of Iraq.

I am afraid that the assurances you gave me about the need for a UN mandate to establish a legitimate Iraqi government have been breached.

The Security Council resolution that you and Jack have so secretly negotiated contradicts the assurances I have given in the House of Commons and elsewhere about the legal authority of the occupying powers, and the need for a UN-led process to establish a legitimate Iraqi government. This makes my position impossible.

It has been a great honour for me to have led the establishment and development of the Department for International Development over the past six years.

I am proud of what we have achieved and much else that the government has done.

I am sad and sorry that it has ended like this.

Yours

Clare

7. Mystery of the nuclear whistleblower


A vicious assault on an ex-employee of the Los Alamos weapons lab is the latest in a series of unsolved incidents

Mark Townsend in New York
Sunday June 12, 2005
The Observer

It had been the worst of blind dates; the no-show. Eventually, just before 2am, Tommy Hook conceded defeat and slunk away from the gaudy strip bar. As he traipsed across the neon-bathed parking lot of Cheeks nightclub, he would have wondered what became of his non-committal partner.

Hours earlier Hook, 52, had received a call from a fellow employee at the Los Alamos National Laboratory imploring him to head to the Santa Fe nightspot and hover by the bar. An excited, hushed voice had promised to corroborate Hook's explosive findings into massive financial irregularities at the birthplace of the nuclear bomb and proposed site for the Bush administration's new generation of atomic weapons.

Instead it is the brutal events that followed Hook's short walk that have plunged the top secret home of the US weapons project into fresh controversy.

The attack was ferocious; a group of up to six men stamped on the head of Hook, a former internal auditor at Los Alamos, with such intensity that footprint marks were still visible on his swollen face days later. A witness claimed that without the intervention of the club's bouncer, Hook would have been murdered. His wife Susan later alleged that the assailants told her husband during the beating that 'if you know what's good for you, you'll keep your mouth shut'.

8. this was leaked just before the election in Britain
Edited on Sun Jun-12-05 10:52 AM by Malva Zebrina
and Tony Blair is still there. No doubt the "deep throat" Brit was aware of how it could spill over to Bush, but maybe was not his or her intention. Britain is still liable to the international court, while the US is not. That puts Blair in a rather sticky wicket, I would say, yet he stood there with Bush and claimed the memo was not true.

That this is another Dan Rather type "forgery" is not a reasonable assumption. Apparently the memo is backed by the official minutes and today's new "leak" confirms indeed that evil wafts thick in the rooms of 10 Downing street, as well as through the halls of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. I would venture to say even that a slight whiff of the evil has drifted over to the US Congress.

11. that's exactly what I was thinking last night.

12. It has to come from England
Any "deep throat" in the US would be murdered or imprisoned these days. Anyone with a conscience and a brain who has access to the evidence of this Administration's crimes must be scared shitless.

16. Someone was found dead within this last month.
If I am not mistaken, someone that had some involvement in this matter was found dead in England. Let me see if I can find a link.

Sorry, if I find it, I will let you know. :blush:

15. Can we try all of the talking heads and the editors
and owners of the MSM for war crimes?

They are Tokyo Rose, they are vile and their a complicit in the crimes of this admin! They need to be held accountable.

Hell, their revenues need to be forfeited to pay for the war that they have supported and lied to "protect". :argh:

24. some are complicit, but how many others just fear for their livelihood?
just my opinion, but I think a decent number of the "mainstream" media actually fear for not just their livelihood, but also their lives.... look at what happened to the bar owner that called the cops on the Bush girls for underage drinking? didn't she get death threats from freepers and their ilk? Now, imagine what the freeper types would do if it was for something slightly more serious than underage drinking, like high treason, war crimes, systematic elimination of the middle class, etc?

25. Didn't some folks use that excuse in Nazi Germany?
:shrug: Sorry, I don't think it justifies anything today, just like it didn't in the 40's.
