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.

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.
Transcript of a memo written by a Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee staff suggesting how to make the greatest gain off of intelligence data leading to the war against Iraq.
We have carefully reviewed our options under the rules and believe we have identified the best approach. Our plan is as follows:
1) Pull the majority along as far as we can on issues that may lead to major new disclosures regarding improper or questionable conduct by administration officials. We are having some success in that regard. For example, in addition to the president's State of the Union speech, the chairman has agreed to look at the activities of the Office of the Secretary of Defense as well as Secretary Bolton's office at the State Department. The fact that the chairman supports our investigations into these offices and co-signs our requests for information is helpful and potentially crucial. We don't know what we will find but our prospects for getting the access we seek is far greater when we have the backing of the majority. (Note: we can verbally mention some of the intriguing leads we are pursuing.)
2) Assiduously prepare Democratic "additional views" to attach to any interim or final reports the committee may release. Committee rules provide this opportunity and we intend to take full advantage of it. In that regard, we have already compiled all the public statements on Iraq made by senior administration officials. We will identify the most exaggerated claims and contrast them with the intelligence estimates that have since been declassified. Our additional views will also, among other things, castigate the majority for seeking to limit the scope of the inquiry. The Democrats will then be in a strong position to reopen the question of establishing an independent commission (i.e. the Corzine amendment).
3) Prepare to launch an independent investigation when it becomes clear we have exhausted the opportunity to usefully collaborate with the majority. We can pull the trigger on an independent investigation at any time-- but we can only do so once. The best time to do so will probably be next year either:
A) After we have already released our additional views on an interim report -- thereby providing as many as three opportunities to make our case to the public: 1) additional views on the interim report; 2) announcement of our independent investigation; and 3) additional views on the final investigation; or
In the meantime, even without a specifically authorized independent investigation, we continue to act independently when we encounter foot-dragging on the part of the majority. For example, the FBI Niger investigation was done solely at the request of the vice chairman; we have independently submitted written questions to DoD; and we are preparing further independent requests for information.
Summary
Intelligence issues are clearly secondary to the public's concern regarding the insurgency in Iraq. Yet, we have an important role to play in the revealing the misleading -- if not flagrantly dishonest methods and motives -- of the senior administration officials who made the case for a unilateral, preemptive war. The approach outline above seems to offer the best prospect for exposing the administration's dubious motives and methods. |

EMOGATE INDIRECTION: Rockefeller and Daschle are decoys, more cutout than cutthroat, less sockdolager than sock-puppet. Rockefeller's too genteel; Daschle's too "concerned." Neither, frankly, has the requisite utter disregard for life. And perhaps most important, (insofar as decoy suitability is concerned), each is sufficiently insipid to ensure insufficient opposition ire.
No. Memogate bears the indelible mark of clinton.

MEMOGATE MEANS, MOTIVE, OPPORTUNITY...
The scheme is more manifesto than memo; it is ludicrous to think that it could have been concocted by anyone other than the clintons. The clintons control the Democratic Party, have impressive presidential-coup field experience (on both ends, spanning three decades), and are beginning to understand that, for reasons ranging from Rudy to rape, they don't have forever to make their move. Hence, the scheme... and the memo.
TREASON OR ITS FIRST COUSIN
If the Ds really want their party back, they should make their move now. Someone out there can finger the clintons. He should do it. Now.
He mustn't delude himself into imagining that the Invertebrate Party will nail her. That will never happen. (Which, by the way, will cost the GOP votes. We will never again tolerate a party that puts its own power above national security... and that is precisely what the GOP will be doing if it allows a clinton (once again) to remain in office. (Didn't you guys learn ANYTHING from 911???))
P.S. Note the increase in defensive, diversionary dem mudslinging since the memo surfaced, especially by hillary's Boy in Harlem. Rangel's been on the tube 24/7 calling for Rummy's resignation. That should tell you something about hillary clinton's vulnerability... |

I am a fan of Richard Dawkins Meme Theory and militant Islam is a toxic meme. Even mild Islam as praticed seems to have the germ of potentiality to mutate into militancy when the moment/time or the call comes forth.
Your comment reminds me of what/how militant Islam works as now seen in England and as it exports itself. The Saudis must be impressed with the handiwork of their madrassas and their Native Son.
Militant Islam breeds Psychopathology and the young man circled below took it to its inevitable conclusion

To: Senate Ethics CommitteeThe Democrat senators on the Senate Select Intelligence Committee are putting American lives at risk.
The Democrat memo that surfaced last week uncovered a detailed "plan" by Democrats on the Select Intelligence Committee to use the resources of that committee as a political tool against the White House. Under the guise of a non-partisan "investigation" the Democrats plan, as revealed by the memo, is to find something, anything, to"castigate the majority" and make it appear that "senior administration officials who made the case for. . . war [used]. . . dubious motives and methods." They have already concluded that BEFORE conducting an investigation!
The memo admits that "[the Democrats] don't know what [they] will find," yet they have already arrived at their conclusion! All they know is that they have an opportunity to use the power of the Select Intelligence Committee against the President, for political gain, and they "intend to take full advantage of it."
Senator Zell Miller, a Democrat himself, had this to say about the memo:
"I have often said that the process in Washington is so politicized and polarized that it canít even be put aside when weíre 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!"
We agree with Senator Miller. The Democrats are taking a very dangerous path. They are fostering distrust that will prevent the committee from getting information integral to saving American lives ñ such as the locations of terrorists with RPG launchers that can be used to down American helicopters. The Democrats have gone too far this time ñ they are forsaking American lives for political gain.
Under the principle of respondeat superior, the Democrat senators must be held responsible for the actions of their staff.
For all the above reasons, inter alia, we, the undersigned implore you to:
Conduct an exhaustive ethics investigation into the source of the memo and those associated with it.
Expel any members of the Senate found to be associated with the memo.Sincerely,

ROCKEFELLER NOT MEMOGATE PRIME MOVER: SEN. EVAN BAYH (D-IN)
|
|
e have been making the argument on this site that MEMOgate reeks of the clintons, that MEMOgate's prime mover could not have been Jay Rockefeller. U.S. Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) confirmed as much this week on the floor of the Senate when he disclosed that Sen. Rockefeller had been "under intense pressure -- intense pressure -- by some others to pursue a much more partisan line of inquiry, to be much more confrontational." MEMOGATE INDIRECTION: Rockefeller and Daschle, as we have argued, are decoys, useful idiots, more cutout than cutthroat, less sockdolager than sock-puppet. Rockefeller's too genteel; Daschle's too "concerned." Neither, frankly, has the requisite utter disregard for life. And perhaps most important, (insofar as decoy suitability is concerned), each is sufficiently insipid to ensure insufficient opposition ire. No. MEMOgate bears the indelible mark of clinton.
It is critical that Sen. Rockefeller and his clinton lackey staffer, Christopher Mellon, be put under oath. They must be asked to identify MEMOgate's prime mover(s). Would they do "a Hubbell," ( "roll over one more time for Hillary")? Highly unlikey. Treason is a capital offense.
