4. Thank you.

This should be excellent. I saw a similar hearing live on C-Span back in Oct. 2003, in which Larry Johnson, Jim Marcinkowski, & Vince Cannistraro testified. Their heartfelt, riveting testimony left a big impression on me & they couldn't have made it clearer how damaging this administration's petty politics have been to this country.

They talked a good bit about Cheney's frequent visits to the CIA headquarters, intimidating desk clerks in his quest to get the intelligence information he wanted about WMD's in Iraq.

Their testimony can be read here; it begins on page 7 with Vince Cannistraro's testimony: http://talkleft.com/plamehearing1.pdf
