Miller on Politicized Intelligence Memo:
‘Heads Should Roll’

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Zell Miller (D-GA) today released the following statement concerning a memo written by Democratic staff on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that suggests ways to politicize intelligence data:

“I have often said that the process in Washington is so politicized and polarized that it can’t even be put aside when we’re at war. Never has that been proved more true than the highly partisan and perhaps treasonous memo prepared for the Democrats on the Intelligence Committee.

“Of all the committees, this is the one single committee that should unquestionably be above partisan politics. The information it deals with should never, never be distorted, compromised or politicized in any shape, form or fashion. For it involves the lives of our soldiers and our citizens. Its actions should always be above reproach; its words never politicized.

“If what has happened here is not treason, it is its first cousin. The ones responsible - be they staff or elected or both should be dealt with quickly and severely sending a lesson to all that this kind of action will not be tolerated, ignored or excused.

“Heads should roll!”

Holy Moly!!!!

Distributions sent. Thanks!

I pray you're right.

Awesome! Thanks!

I saw him on Hannity & Colmes last night, and he said the reason he hasn't changed is because he was born and raised a democrat, and is about to retire and has a lot of friends, etc., associated with the party (probably on a state and local level), so what's the point at this juncture in his career. Sort of like Reagan saying that he didn't leave the party - it left him, but at the end of his elective career rather than at the beginning.

WRITE A LETTER, FAX IT, THEN PUT IT IN THE MAILBOX.

REAL LETTERS - ONE CAN DEMAND AN AUDIT OF CONSTITUENCY INTENT WITH LETTERS!

Listened to ABC Radio this afternoon, Mom?
Hear what they're claiming, "to have learned"?

Seems ABC's doing their very *best* to change the subject to one of their own devise, ie, "What did Bush know &..." yadayadayada.

It's a truly pathetic effort by one of the worst of the worst of the Liberal-Socialist's spokesmedia outlets.

...ABC.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

They don't exist.

[mabelkitty]

Not good enough!
We need him under oath and tried for treason!

[mabelkitty]

Rockefeller represents West Virginia - the state of Jessica Lynch.

Very very interesting to link the two dynamics together, don't you think?

[mabelkitty]

We need to WRITE.

Is the Gov. of WVA a Dem or Rep?

[RetiredArmy]

I agree with the both of you. However, if you are something that you don't like, do you remain that or do you change. Age has nothing to do with it. I would not remain part of something that I did not like or did not fit in with. Why? You gain nothing. Sure, he will vote for GWB, but his doing so will not change anyone else's mind. The liberal dems hate him. Why not just cross over to the other side of the river and enjoy the rest of your life. I certainly do not go to places I am not wanted. I don't waste my time trying to change these socialist's minds. It is bored into their heads with a hammer, and you cannot change it. I refuse to beat my head against the wall in an argument with these fools. I talk to people who want to enter into a conversation with an open mind. Leftist, socialist, communist, and democrats are one in the same. They refuse to listen. They see conservatives as right wingers, the right, the bad guys. They hate us and want us to leave their liberal heaven. But, you know, I feel the same about them. They have a liberal heaven, Cuba, the Soviet Union, Red China or Red North Korea. They could go there but they will not because they know they could not get away with the same stuff there that they pull here. They KNOW they would be put up against a wall and shot as an enemy of the state.

I've already noticed a lot of righteous indignation in an attempt to put the blame on Bush for even this memo. You could see that the Dems all got their talking points this AM as they've skipped the "drag them along" portion to the call for an Independent Council. If this is truly going to be an investigation over intelligence failures, than Republicans need to bring up the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, Al-Shifa in Sudan, 100,000 mass graves and Racak in Kosovo, CLinton's reason for bombing Iraq on 4 separate occasions...etc., etc. It's amazing that Clinton could literally wag-the-dag for 8 months as he attacked 4 soverign nations..and not a peep from the Dems over Clinton's intelligence. But all of the sudden, Bush enforces a unanimous UN Resolution, supported by intelligence from that same UN and numerous intelligence agencies around the world, and he supposedly lied? Was the Democratic authored 1998 Iraq Liberation Act also a lie...where several Democrats made the same...and even more specific claims about the threat Saddam posed. This is just complete BS and it has to be exposed for what it is.

[dmanLA]

My bad...sorry.

I thought I read that she was on the committee a few months back.

[savedbygrace]

She was placed on the Armed Services Committee, and on three of its sub-committees. That's dangerous enough.

Following is the text of a memo written by a Democrat on the staff of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that suggests how to make the greatest gain off of intelligence data leading to the war against Iraq. The memo was obtained by Fox News.

Now, the 'rats need to tell us again just why we should trust them to watch a pet rock, let alone with national security secrets.
