The Rockefeller memo: Whiff of treason
Pittsburgh Tribune Review ^ | Sunday Nov 9

Posted on 11/09/2003 9:21:23 AM PST by Laverne

A leaked memo from the office of West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller urges fellow Democrats on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to use its probe into Iraq war planning as a staging ground to beat President Bush. It calls for an independent investigation of the president next year, timed for maximum negative impact on Mr. Bush's re-election effort.

When are we going to stop coddling the demorats.

To them politics along with complete and total control (totalitarianism) come first, all else is second, third or forth.

I hope that, in addition to ranting among ourselves, everyone has written to Sen. Roberts, Sen. Hatch, and other senators who can influence this process, to express their outrage and make their demands for Sen. Rockefeller's removal from this committee! I have.

All of these, together, add quite a bit to your suspicions. Save the links. Perhaps the graphic provides a good marker to remind you.

I doubt seriously her office leaked this memo; even if it would be to unseat Rocky and put her on the intel committee.

You have to admit in her world, it's worth the gamble. We'll see how this plays out.

It sounds devious!

In other words; just like Hillary!

I have a devious mind sometimes, but, unlike Hillary!, I'm not dangerous.

Miss Hitlery has the FBI files of how many of these Democrats?

My guess is probably all of them as well as most (if not all) of the Republicans too.

As far as I am concerned, the lack of leadership from the top, is what is allowing the Democrats to go so far as to criticize the policy. The war on terrorism is bombing, and for the same reasons the Vietnam war was lost. It is being fought with limited rules of engagement, and ignores the fact that the enemy must be crushed, before he can change. The war should be carried into the Saudi camp, onward to Syria and Iran. This is the home base of the enemy, where the generals are hiding, and the funding comes from. It would be like fighting WW II, and stopping at the French border.

VERY interesting theory, Misty.

THanks, Laz. I think as more evidence comes out, Mrs. Clinton's fingerprints will be unmistakeable.

Right - no Commander-in-Chief should be placed in position of having to provide classified information to an non-secure committee which - if leaked - would imperial the war effort, our soldiers and our allies as well as all our intelligence contacts.

This little committee is just over, burned and toasted.

I'm still somewhat amazed that this story is being spiked by the alphabets! I just sent an email to ABC and asked them why they aren't reporting it. I suggest they must be waiting to get their talking points from Terry M before they dare talk about it. It will be interesting to see how they do address it, when they address it, which they will have to do. Its getting legs, and they cannot continue to ignore it.

Thanks! I think that's an important piece of the puzzle.

Has Hillary! made any statement about the memo? Her silence may speak volumes.

Plausible? Yes.

She would try to use the solar flares to her advantage if she could think of a way.

I watched a second of the CNN interaction between the heads of the RNC and DNC; the only part I saw in discussion of this memo, was Terry M changing the subject to the leaking of the CIA agent (if she really was one), Wilson's wife. Did anyone catch any of the discussion on the memo?

Hatch, Snowe, Warner, and Lott. Not exactly what one would call a group capable of a dogfight.

Are ANY of the mainstream media stations even talking about this? I keep checking CNN, MSNBC, NBC,ABC, CBS et al, and have seen nothing yet. Anyone else see it anywhere besides Fox?

If this is the newspaper I think it is, it's owned by Richard Mellon Scaife and is notably conservative. The mainstream press has resolutely avoided reporting on this except for brief articles saying that the Dems and Republicans are "quarreling" about something or other.

It's been a long time since we've had a free press in this country. Even with Pravda you could read between the lines; but with these left-wing liars the news is suppressed entirely unless it favors their agenda.

I wouldn't put it beyond John Edwards to have leaked this one.
