H20 Man, time to take a bow!
Edited on Mon Oct-17-05 09:33 PM by kohodog
I joined DU about a year and a half ago when the original Plame threads were beginning and continued following them through the next few months. Early on, before the Waterman papers and Robert Paulson's "American Judas", H20 Man laid out the scenario we are seeing today, that someone would flip under the pressure of jail. Frankly, I thought that wouldn't happen until after the indictments, but apparently someone has flipped already. So Kudos H20 Man, you've been both patient and prescient!

42. Thank you for your kind words.
It took a while to compile, but I hope it will stand the test of time. I was hoping to write additional editions as the evidence mounted, but this case has "metastasized", with AIPAC and DSM, as well as Peace Patriot's compelling theory about planting WMDs that it's just so much bigger than I realized. Like an Everest avalanche, this will bury them.

62. You are most welcome. What gave you the idea to create the
paper in the first place? You are so right about it metastasizing (good word for it).

I do believe that AIPAC is connected and the planted WMDs theory makes sense. I am aware of the DSM but not of how it fits in here exactly. The whole sordid affair is a complicated, intricate web of deceptions.

I have read Am. Judas (Great Title, apropos) more than once. It's a resource on this story. Thank you for your labor and your service.

60. I agree. I've bookmarked it. Saved it. And read it several times
to get it all in memory and understood. Then I spread it far and wide for information.

Truly amazing work.

3. He Was The Pied Piper Of The Plame Affair
back before most knew what was going on, he spun the tale, and as with all best sellers it has held up.

10. Shraby Was The One
who started the "infamous" Plame threads, where H20 first began talking about the case. It was a fascinating beginning with real insights.

14. H20 Man is TOPS!
Waterman's never let up in his search for the Truth and in the fight to restore America's Constitution.
What's more, he does it to make this a better nation and world for everyone.
Now that's a real human being -- the best of what's in us.

15. Why not kick It?!
I've been reading DU for four years and seldom remember names of posters (wasn't interested in community, just good information), but, after all of that reading for that amount of time, there's one identity that I keep a look-out for: H2OMan

That kinda spells it out right there.

Cheers, H2Oman! Sincerely.

H20 Man has consistently had the most astute take on the Plame Affair on DU, bar none.

If he doesn't have a Blog, he should start one; I'd bookmark it immediately and make it one of my daily reads..

19. I seek out critical thinkers like H20 Man & Octafish
along with Shraby, Seamslikeadream, and a few others I can't think of off the top of my head.

I get totally absorbed in their posts, reading hours upon hours not just their posts, but the links to articles they include. I have a hard time keeping up with you guys!

To all of the DU critical thinkers/analysts: Although I seldom post, I'm here reading your work, and I truly do appreciate what you bring to the table.

29. I'll add my thanks to him as well..
His interest and wonderful posts inspired me to research more myself and actually make a film about the whole thing..

I'm sending him a stack of DVDs of "Rove's War" and really want to have him review it, as if anyone will know if I'm full of shit or not (and I think I did pretty good) it will be HIM..

Of course he's too nice a guy to tell me if I suck so that could be a problem :)

HE DA MAN.

30. Yo! H2O!
H2OMAN rocks! One of the few men I would call a "sage". He does have a blog, called "Waterman Spouts", but I don't know how to post a link.

By the way, I've been lurking for nearly two years, and finally logged in to mooch all the free champagne and beer ready to flow around here.

Heres to Patrick OO'Waterman!

The original Plame threads were what first awakened me both to the depth of the scandal and also to what a phenomenal research tool a board like this is. Among all the stars here, he shines pretty damn brightly!

36. H2O not only said someone would flip, but I believe he predicted who.
John Hannah.

I want to find the post before I start calling him ProphetMan instead of H2O Man, but I was saying in another thread that he was saying Hannah way before rawstory and NY Daily News got the word. How about that?

You rule H2O Man!

51. With all the other DU'ers I salute you Mr H2OMan.
Not only for you being right about the Plame story but also for all the insights you shared with us.

Many times your reflexions made me feel more optimistic about the human race. Because each time a person uses his intellect with honesty and than has the generosity to share it, it has a rippling effect. It brings others to also use their mind and heart (ethic...)

Peace
