BREAKING: Conned big time "CIA Witness" to White House Lying about Intel story found to be FRAUD

Capitol Hill Blue ^ | July 9, 2003 | Doug Thompson

[Lauratealeaf]

With all the RATs coming out calling Bush a Liar -- I would say the story was a plant. And now knowing Wilson worked for Gore in the 80's makes me even more suspicious this is orchestrated.

Cap Weinberger did not think highly of Wilson and now that I think about it he stressed Wilson tea-drinking all through Niger and we all remember Gore's tea-drinking escapades.

I still think Wilkinson is Doug Thompson's creation.

[PhiKapMom]

Find it hard to believe that Thompson would make up the quotes from the WH knowing he would be caught. That said, I don't think the name was Wilkinson and would bet that the quotes were planted with Thompson knowing he would run with it and the other press would pick up on it.

When you have a chance, hoosiermama, would you go back and checks posts 957 and 959 ... perhaps this Wilkerson fellow is actually someone else ... Thielmann, perhaps?

I particularly note Thielmann's intelligence connection, and it is only those 6 unnamed sourced intelligence stories, plus the Wilkerson named source ... Bush Lied ... that have been deleted by Doug from the CHB database. And yet, I took from Doug's letter of apology, that he had used Wilkerson as his source over the 20-year period, but deleted only those stories which referenced intelligence.

Finer minds than mine will have to sort this out ...

Another avenue ... any suspects on the Intelligence Committees?

[Pegita]

Change references to Wilkerson to "Wilkinson" ...

"In 1985-1986, he served in the offices of Senator Albert Gore and the House Majority Whip, Representative Thomas Foley, as an American Political Science Association Congressional Fellow."

Yep .. and while he spent a week in Niger he was drinking sweet mint tea and talking with Barbro Owens-Kirkpatrick

What is is with these Dems and drinking tea?

[PhiKapMom]

I would like to know about the tea too and the RATs!

How about a Gore/Hillary ticket? Then in a little over two years Gore resigns for health reasons! Just kidding (I think)

That is a possibility. In that case whoever dropped the comments on Thompson knew he was a patsy and would run with it. Either way, Doug Thompson is not believable or trustworthy.

RATs on Intelligence:


John D. Rockefeller IV
West Virginia, Vice Chairman

Carl Levin, Michigan
Dianne Feinstein, California
Ron Wyden, Oregon
Richard J. Durbin, Illinois
Evan Bayh, Indiana
John Edwards, North Carolina
Barbara A. Mikulski, Maryland

I think Dean/Hellary or Dean/Clark is what they are hoping for

And it would have to be less then 2 years for Hellary to still be able to run for 2 terms

Oh Good Lord .. just the thought of that makes me wan a drink

[Lauratealeaf]

From Wilson's article..."I spent the next eight days drinking sweet mint tea and meeting with dozens of people: current government officials, former government officials, people associated with the country's uranium business. It did not take long to conclude that it was highly doubtful that any such transaction had ever taken place."

Wilson also made sure to mention that he walked over John F. Kennedy Bridge. (dropping names, don't you know.)

[PhiKapMom]

Either way, Doug Thompson is not believable or trustworthy.

That's the bottom line to me as well!

[cyncooper]

Well, well, well.

So Wilson worked in the offices of Albert Gore, Jr. and Tom Foley, did he? Why, I suppose the venerable (ahem) New York Times felt this was not relevant? Oh, I suppose they could claim they didn't know, but who would believe that?

I pulled up FR and have the new "Bush Knew..." thread open but haven't read it yet. Wanted to catch up here first. Off I go to see what kind of sources CBS felt warranted the use of that phrase.

[PhiKapMom]

I know the feeling! Sickening!

I have wondered about Dean/Clinton!

[PhiKapMom]

I was shocked too when I realized that little tidbit was in his biography! First I had heard of it and he has been referenced everywhere on the news!

[Mo1]

Wilson also made sure to mention that he walked over John F. Kennedy Bridge. (dropping names, don't you know.)

I guess he was to busy dropping names to actually type up a report about what he found out huh?

[hoosiermama]

SO what else do we know about Greg Thielmann?

[Lauratealeaf]

So this Barbro Owens-Kirkpatrick, ambassador to Niger was appointed by Clinton in 1999. She needs to go big time.

[Lauratealeaf]

I guess he was to busy dropping names to actually type up a report about what he found out huh?

True. I read the article and there isn't much there. He didn't even write a report, just filed a few memos. He says that the CIA paid him for his services. Don't think we got our money's worth. But, according to the article, the ambassador, Barbro (what kind of name is that?) Owens Kirpatrick was against him doing much of a search. We know why.

Just a note before my blood pressure sky-rockets at reading the CBS thread:

Larry King had Bob Woodward on tonight and he obviously respects President Bush very much. He said the president is an honest man and would not lie or deceive.

He also said about finding the WMDs that everybody knew Saddam had them before we went in. He said it is a problem that we can't find them in as much as we don't know where they are and the mystery is what happened to them. He emphasized the word "mystery" because they must be somewhere.

Back to the intelligence and the SOTU speech, he said he is familiar with how intelligence is gathered and how the reports are written up and such. He said no way did President Bush knowingly set out to deceive anybody and even Woodward said it was only one sentence in a whole web of information against Saddam.

One last note, Woodward said the speech President Bush gave at Goree Island was one of his best speeches and that President Bush meant every word.

[Mo1]

YEP!
