Marginal thoughts on participants in *Chairman* Conyers' **Hearings**

[Stinky The Clown]

While I attempted to watch this contemporaneously the internet feed from C-span 3 was so bad, I missed large parts of it. Today I got to see the whole thing. Just from their opening statements, I get these impressions:

Cindy Sheehan is an incredibly strong woman. As she was speaking about her son, from his birth and her memory of his 'flat face' to her outrage at the murderers in power, she managed not to shed a tear. I was not so strong.

Ray McGovern gives face and voice to a long held thought of mine. Up until the Week of the Long Knives, the CIA was a place for patriotic liberals as well as people of other stripes. All the inferences that the CIA is entirely evil notwithstanding, I didn't ever see it that way. Bad apples, to be sure, but a cadre of good people was at least equally present. Now that people like Mr. McGovern have been purged, I am far more fearful of them.

Just after Mr. Bonifaz's remarks, there was a woman sitting behind **Chairman** Conyers who worked open her dress and began to nurse her child. I wonder how many heads exploded when she did that? An accurate count of those exploded heads would give a clear indication of how attentive the murders' enablers are paying attention to this.

1. I wish that moment hadn't happened. Bonifaz' appearance was SO gravely

important that audience' minds would have needed some moments to let it sink in.

Crimes of office, false statements, impeachment....is that a breast?

I breastfed more than a few times myself when I had to, but, I sure wish she wouldn't have done so at that moment.

2. was it janet jackson? i didn't even see her do that.

my thoughts were that i was very impressed with ALL the panelists. very cogent arguments, imo . . . no shouting, no name calling.
