I remember when Rockefeller and Roberts first started fighting over the committee make-up after Jeffords left the Republican party and the Democrats fought for committee realignment ("If it was good enough for the 106th Congress, it's good enough for the 107th!").

This is an interesting slip of the tongue--if that's what is was, from America-hating anti-Semite McGovern:

The BRAD SHOW On the Air! TRANSCRIPT: Ray McGovern Interview 6/11/05

"Now why did the White House do that? Well, the conventional wisdom is they really hated Joe Wilson. Why did they hate Joe Wilson? Well, because in reporting in The New York Times in his famous op-ed in early January of 2003, he reported that there was no legitimate report about Iraq seeking uranium in Niger for lots of reasons"

January, huh?

In this same interview, traitor Ray says that "Wilson is pure."

It's actually a funny read if you can plow through it. McGovern is clearly insane.

Remember, his "real job" is as a street preacher. Literally.

FEBRUARY? 2003 : (VOA REPORTS THAT NIGER RECENTLY AGREED TO SELL IRAQ YELLOWCAKE URANIUM; A FORMER NIGERIEN OFFICIAL DENIES IT SAYING NO SUCH DEAL COULD BE MADE WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE FRENCH-OWNED COMPANY COGENA) The Voice of America last month [] reported Niger supplied Iraq with a key ingredient for its nuclear program two decades ago and more recently agreed to resume those shipments. U-S officials said that Niger signed an agreement in 2000 to sell Iraq 500 metric tons of a concentrated form of uranium known as yellowcake.
However, Niger's former minister of Mining and Energy [Yhaya Barre (yah-HIGH-yah BAR-eh)] later responded by telling V-O-A the charges were "lies." The official said in an interview that it is the Niger government's practice to check any potential buyers of uranium against the so-called "red list" of the International Atomic Energy Agency -- adding if any nation is on the list, there would be no deal. In addition, he said any such deal could not be made without the knowledge of the French-owned company Cogema, which operates uranium mining in Niger.- VOA News Report, 3/4/03 , via http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/news/2003/03/mil-030304-2a189293.htm.

Thank you for bringing this back up and posting this great article. I was SO FURIOUS with Rockefeller (and still am) that I think this ACTUAL CASE OF GENUINE TREASON should be prosecuted.

Rockefeller and all his friends are vicious anti-American traitors.

[ntnychik]

Rockefeller knows that the best defense is a good offense. The pubbies fall for it every time. Since when did the MINORITY get to have a vice-chair, and the right to split off and free-lance. Since the GOP rolled over.

In this same interview, traitor Ray says that "Wilson is pure."

Pure what, though :-)

[Political Junkie Too]

Since when did the MINORITY get to have a vice-chair...

If I recall correctly, that was always the case ONLY on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. All the other committees call it the "ranking member." This was supposed to separate the bipartisan nature of the intelligence oversight.

It all fell apart after Jeffords jumped parties and the Democrats demanded a change to the Intelligence committee.

"Even before the memo was written, Rockefeller's staff already was off on its own, well outside the traditional bipartisan channels. According to the memo, the "FBI Niger investigation" of reports that Saddam Hussein's regime had tried to buy uranium from West Africa "was done solely at the request of the vice chairman."

Karl Rove has known about this, and the memo, all along.
If I was a scumbag Democrat, I would be extremely concerned right now.

[Sam Hill]

That is a reference to Rockefeller requesting Mueller of the FBI to investigate the "forged memos" back in March 2003.

[Smartass]

Good Evening Chik...
On another issue, the U.S. Dept. of Justice is investigating Rockefeller, Wedyn, and one other senator for leaking intelligence. Supposedly, their toast.

[Fedora]

That former Nigerian official's denial is essentially the same argument Wilson gives in his book for why he ruled out Niger selling uranium to Iraq. What a coincidence that Wilson and a Nigerian official would say exactly the same thing. Hmm--I think I just realized who comes up with Wilson's stuff for him:

These charges are lies! They are not in Baghdad. They are not in control of any airport. I tell you this. It is all a lie. They lie. It is a Hollywood movie. You do not believe them. My feelings--as usual--we will slaughter them all.

[nopardons]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...sounds like a bunch of blubbering CYA, after the fact.

[nopardons]

Is there an article/thread about this ?

Report: Justice Department Probing Durbin, Rockefeller CIA Leak

The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into whether Democratic Senators Dick Durbin, Jay Rockefeller and Ron Wyden leaked details about a secret "black ops" CIA satellite program last December in a move that may have seriously compromised national security, former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense Jed Babbin said on Saturday.

"The CIA made a request to the Justice Department to investigate and possibly bring criminal charges against these three [senators]," Babbin told WABC Radio host Monica Crowley. "My information is that investigation is ongoing."

Thanks, I seem to gave missed this, as I'm not here as often, nor as much as I used to be.

The authors hoped to dig up and hype "improper or questionable conduct by administration officials."

This sounds vaguely familiar.
