  1. To me, this should be a non-story.  Facts as we know it is that Joe Wilson lied, was caught in that lie, and has been swepped under the rug.  The pending charges are unlikely to be about outing a CIA agent, as she wasn't undercover when she was "outed."  This could be the Martha Stewart charges - saying one thing to the investigators and someone else saying something else - obstruction of justice.

     

    As to your main point, I cannot imagine the administration trying to discredit a source they know is wrong about a topic that they're trying to sell to the people.

    I think you have your facts wrong. What appears to be coming out of this investigation is that Wilson was correct, and the administration engaged in a dirty tactics campaign to discredit him--probably the articles you refer to as "facts." One of those dirty tactics was the outing of his wife, which is what's being investigated by Fitzgerald. If the facts are that she "wasn't undercover" when she was outed, I don't think there would've been an investigation in the first place.

     

    At any rate, we disagree on the facts; but those facts should be made public shortly.

  2. Maybe Sandy Berger stuffed more classified documents down his pants that we know about? :doh:

     

    Maybe former Sen Torricelli of NJ could help. You remember him who gave the NYT the name of a CIA informant, causing him and his family to go into hiding since 1995.  Ahh, the "Torch", the guy who caused the CIA to recruit only lily-white spies, and who left the Senate before he faced charges. :D

     

    Ron Brown? Naah. Dead; can't help.  Vinnie Foster? Uh-uh - remarkable guy though - said to have committed suicide, but somehow tossed the gun 150 feet or so.

     

    You wouldn't be talking about the info the Bush adm. got from the Clinton adm? Let's not forget that in '98, Bill sought and got a law from Congress...

     

    "SUMMARY:

     

    (REVISED AS OF 10/05/98 -- Passed House, amended)

     

    Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 - Declares that it should be the policy of the United States to seek to remove the Saddam Hussein regime from power in Iraq and to replace it with a democratic government. "

    Er...The impeachment wasn't about sex. I believe it was lying under oath.

    What do you know, the old, "but they were worse" response....

    Or is it, "I'm rubber, you are glue..." response?

  3. It's a rhetorical question; I know the answer... :D

     

    Apparently someone high in the administration could be going down for this--the outing of a CIA agent. However, it appears that the investigation also leads to the "selling" of the Iraq war to the American people--that is, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al knew much of their information was dubious, but used it anyway to trump up a case for the war.

     

    I'm sure some here will argue this is as trivial as trying to impeach a president for a blow job..... :doh:

  4. What a scandal!!!!!!!!!  They wanted the mic to go to someone who would do the best job!!!!!!!!

    Well, it must be a scandal if Fox carried it... :D

     

    Just typifies what will end up as one of the worst presidencies in history. Seems many on the right are jumping ship after his latest bad decisions; never happen here though. Someone needs to start posting the anti-"Bush Bad" post--

     

    "Bush can do no wrong."

  5. So typical of the Bush suck-up crew--bush can do no wrong. Nothing is ever Bush's fault. It's just whiney Bush critics. You guys are as bad as the old regime--the Clinton suck ups. No, actually, you guys are worse. It's a religous cult here: Conservatives good; liberals bad. What will it take for you republidiots to realize both major parties are corrupt? The right wing has you eating out of their hands...

  6. I met a GI on a 4-day leave while in an Atlanta airport bar a couple of weeks ago.

     

    He commented that our media spoonfeeds us. I inquired whether it was worse or better. He said it was much worse than what we're shown. He said they laugh at the coverage they see (he mentioned FOX and CNN). He did say the morale was fine, and, like they always have, they rely on each other. I bought him a beer and wished him well....

  7. Thanks for pointing out the hypocrisy of the right. It wouldn't be necessary if Clinton were president right now; could you imagine the posts about Iraq from the usual suspects here?

     

    Maybe they'd finally get the fact that you can support your troops but disagree with the policy/startegy of the administration...

  8. If you're there sept. 1, the Spin doctors are playing Thursday in the Square. Best event throughout the summer. Also, the chicken wing festival is labor day weekend. The wing eating contest is great. There's a little asian woman competing with guys who tip the scales at 300--sonya something. Two years ago I saw her break the record in the pre-lims, but she must have od, cuz she failed to win the next day.

     

    Once you get to town, pick up an Artvoice, it'll have all the info you need for a good time in the city.
