I can’t keep up with all this controversy, its like watching a real life season of 24 before your eyes, full of conspiracy and manipulation.
Can you imagine the media frenzy if Dick Cheney had written a memo to a high-ranking military officer or the head of a federal agency telling them what to say in their testimony about Halliburton? It would be in such large type above the fold at the NY Times and the Washington Post that the headlines wouldn’t fit on the front page. And it would be front page news for even longer than Abu Ghraib.
Drudge has a story that the CEO of Lightstreet denies any contact with the WH. So you got three different stories, the one of the generals, the one of the WH, and the one of the Lightstreet CEO.
I hear you, but if this was 24 the ‘real’ bad guys would have changed three times already.
Plus Kim Bauer would be chased by a cougar.
Remember when Bush offered ‘guidance’ to officials to give a positive recomendation to Enron?
Remember when Dick Cheney told a General to change his testimony on Haliburton?
No? That’t because those didn’t happen- but if they had the press would have to see their doctor because they would STILL have an erection over this
I’m curious. This is a big deal. I get that. But if these sleazy scams rightly get folks irate, how come the same people aren’t jumpin’ ugly about our bailouts of Europe. FWIW, I don’t see how US taxpayers being forced to prop up the Eurozone is any less sleazy or criminal. And there’s one HECKUVA lot more money involved.
I get the feeling that the “90 days testing” is significant, but I don’t know why.
“Guidance”, eh? Back in the day it was called “witness tampering”.
