'DISGUSTING' DEM MEMO: HOW TO GAIN FROM WAR PROBE

NY POST ^ | November 6, 2003 | BRIAN BLOMQUIST

WASHINGTON - Congressional Republicans were livid yesterday over a staff memo in which Senate Intelligence Committee Democrats lay out a plan to gain politically from the probe into prewar intelligence.

The memo, first revealed by the Fox News Channel, outlines a plan by Democrats to cooperate with Republicans on the Intelligence Committee to squeeze information out of the Bush administration - and then surprise them next year by calling for a new independent probe while accusing the Republicans of foot-dragging.

Sean said in so many words that he would love to be "put under oath" so he could tell the truth about who slipped him the memo. Sean continues to say that we would all be surprised at the "leaker".

I saw that interview on H & C. I heard Sean ask Corzine if he wanted to put him under oath, but I didn't hear Sean say he would reveal his source if put under oath.

I thought Sean was almost begging to be put under oath, but I just don't think he would ever reveal his source. I think he'd like to go to jail for refusing to do so. Just think of the publicity he would receive. He'd be doing his radio show from his jail cell, and loving every minute of it.

A group of European social democrats, led by former British Foreign Minister Robin Cook, met last week with several top Democratic politicians and party officials. They included US senators Hilary Clinton and Joseph Biden.

Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), the top Intelligence Committee Democrat, tried to focus on the leak of the memo, claiming it was taken from a waste bucket or through unauthorized computer access.

The Dirty LYING 'RAT !! ...

FOX said this was NOT a case of illegally gained information !!
Nor was it taken out of the trash.

The Dirty 'RATS !

Actually, Drudge had something on it for a few hours, then it was pulled. Does anyone know why?

[1Old Pro]

The Dems are predominately ANTI-AMERICAN and their lust for power is treasonous. Watch the media keep this disgusting story quiet.

[PJ-Comix]

Did anybody see ANYTHING on the lamestream news yesterday about this memo? I watched Petah Jennings and saw NOTHING. However, Petah must have been VERY AWARE of the memo since he led off his broadcast with a story (delivered in urgent tones) about some obscure Lebanese businessman who claims that a bigwig Iraqi was willing to let an American disarmament team into Iraq shortly before the war broke out. This turned out to be a complete NON-STORY (nothing much in the news about this today) but it served as a convenient smokescreen for Petah to use to divert attention away from the memo.

Let's see. Petah reports on a non-story about Iraq and completely ignores a major story concerning the memo. Way to go, Petah!

Net sluts carry this story? Don't hold your breath.

[Liz]

Good point.

[Liz]

The memo? Sedition? Sounds good to me.

We can email Rockefeller and demand his resignation:

senator@rockefeller.senate.gov

Anyone who uses intelligence gained on that committee to influence an election is placing our troops in danger and is, in my opinion, guilty of treason.

MJY1288 nailed the lunatic left and their friends who call themselves conservatives with this reply on another thread:

To: Grampa Dave

Yesterday's Democrat Memo speaks volumes of the depth of depravity some will go to when no longer in power. The Democrats and the constant complainers remind of Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath Party dead enders.

ABCNNBCBS are hoping that the leaking memo story dies without them having to talk about it.

The NY Slimes is figuring out how to blame Homeland Security and GW for the leak of the memo.

Didn't the Compost blame the evil republicans for getting the memo?

Wash Post: Nothing

Washington Post:

Politicized Memo Creates Row

[cyncooper]

Though I'll note the Washington Post's coverage tries to portray it as just a "squabble", a "row", and makes it seem like there is no right or wrong, just partisan bickering.

Still, they did at least address the existance of the memo.

placing our troops in danger

I think it's worse than that. They cry constantly that "Our Troops Are Dying Every Day", but I would submit that garbage like this memo is Killing Our Troops Every Day. These Iraqis have demonstrated that they continuously misinterpret what they see in the media. They didn't believe we'd really invade for God's sake. Now they believe that the lefties chirping will get us to leave if they can just make it hot enough. I'm serious, these Fifth Column types need to be shut up, by any means necessary. I'm not sure we can win with these traitors undermining our effort. Jail, censorship, shutting down of senate committees. These all need to be considered and done. This isn't a game, its a war and we have to win.

[Judith Anne]

But do you think Rockefeller gets it?

I think ROCKEFELER MUST RESIGN and I emailed him to say that.

[johnb838]

No, I don't think Rockefeller does. I think he expects he can ride it out since the alphabet networks will embargo the story. And I think the pub's are going to let it slide. From watching the reaction, I don't see that anyone is acknowledging the scope of this problem and the damage it is doing to our efforts in Iraq. They keep talking about it like it is a potential problem, and not a clear and present danger (imminent, they like that word) to our troops there that is already bearing poisonous fruit.
