we met with our congressman today
He said the Downing street memos were invalid, and
could never be proven in any case.
I said, "Well, there's an investigation going on
right now which may show that Karl Rove gave
away the name of a covert agent, one who
was working on WMDs. And it may be that
it was part of a larger effort to intimidate
those in the diplomatic and Intel community
who were not on board with the
Iraq program.

"If that's the case, and if the intel was
fixed, and people intimidated, and
we went to war on a deliberate lie,
do you think it rises to the level of, say,
sex in the oval office?"

He got all pissed.

9. Well, since it was a private meeting,
and there was no press there, I'd feel a little
unfair naming names. The informal
ground rules of the meeting were
as a freewheeling discussion, and
it might curtail future opportunities if I were indiscreet.


It's a leading Midwestern republican.

What's disturbing is, he's still repeating
"Saddam sponsored Al Quaeda training
camps" and stuff like that. It's discouraging
that he's not learning.
It is clear he knows it's a goat fuck that they
need to back out of, but he's unwilling to say
it's not been worth it. He thinks lots of
good stuff is happening there.
He expressed a willingness to hear from
Iraq vets who might have some alternative
views for him, if anyone knows any.

We gave him some PNAC stuff, which he'd never
seen, as well as a bundle of articles to bolster
our points.
We'll probably invite him to our film showing
of "Hijacking Catastrophe".

4. must be a republican
probably voted in on diebold voting machines.

if their defense is that the DSM are not real or can't be proven, they're grasping at straws.
