There's a lot of great information over at Sweetness & Light. Check out this pearl of wisdom from Mr. Johnson:

The Declining Terrorist Threat

By LARRY C. JOHNSON

July 10, 2001

WASHINGTON — Judging from news reports and the portrayal of villains in our popular entertainment, Americans are bedeviled by fantasies about terrorism. They seem to believe that terrorism is the greatest threat to the United States and that it is becoming more widespread and lethal. They are likely to think that the United States is the most popular target of terrorists. And they almost certainly have the impression that extremist Islamic groups cause most terrorism.

None of these beliefs are based in fact. …

I'm sure that before she went to the press, she went to congress and the AG to complain, and I'm sure it's documented. And I'm sure that the Easter bunny hid those eggs in the backyard.
Bush's biggest mistake was not cleaning house on Clinton political appointees immediately. - Sleeper cells would be a more appropriate title.
Also the EU AG says he can't find a trace of the prisons whose exposition won a Pulitzer prize - or is that now the Chrles Foster Kane award for creative journalism.

About the Truth-Telling Project:

Statement from Daniel Ellsberg

The Truth-Telling Project encourages whistleblowing in the national interest. It urges current and recently retired government officials to reveal the truth to Congress and the public about governmental wrongdoing, lies and cover-up. It aims to change the norms and practices that sustain the cult of secrecy, and to de-legitimize silence that costs lives.

It is becoming increasingly clear that a dominant practice of the Bush administration is cover-up, on urgent matters of life and death. Cover-up of the real motives for the war and of the foreseeable costs and problems of the occupation. Cover-up of Presidential inattention before 9-11 to warnings of imminent attacks by Al Qaeda. Above all, concealment of the judgment of the Administration’s own counter-terrorism chiefs that war in Iraq is a disaster for the war on terrorism.

There are surely hundreds if not thousands of officials within the Bush administration who know about these and other cover-ups and the dangers they conceal, but who have not spoken out. I am now leading an effort, called the Truth-Telling Project, to encourage such insiders to go to Congress and the press and tell the truth, with documents. I believe we are in a national crisis, which justifies and requires acts of unauthorized truth-telling. I am calling for such patriotic whistle-blowing to take place right now.

I am devoting myself full-time to encouraging patriotic revelation of the lies, cover-ups, and abuses of the Bush administration. The Truth-Telling Project aims to reach current insiders, as well as journalists, lawyers, lawmakers, and the American public with a message transcending party or administration:

Truth-telling to Congress and the public is not disloyal in America: it is an expression of the higher loyalty officials owe to the Constitution, the rule of law, and the sovereign public. It is a courageous, patriotic, and effective way to serve our country. The time to speak out is now.

—Daniel Ellsberg, August 2004

McCarthy leaked planted and false information and was nailed. She will not be prosecuted because espionage methods would be compromised.

So when will someone release FDR's still classified papers?

[p23185]

TREASON - they all belong either in front a firing line or in prison for a very long time. But no instead they are held up as PATRIOTS with such platitudes as "I have a responsibility to the Constitution before my oath and signed contract not to disclose Government classified data." I heard this morning that DOJ may not even prosecute McCarthy and that firing may be enough - MORE CLIOOONITES IN THE DOJ. Bush has got to clean house or they are going to impeach him.
