FREE REPUBLIC NETWORK LAUNCHES WEB SITE ON SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE MEMO, CALLS FOR SENATOR ROCKEFELLER TO RESIGN
(Washington, DC) The Free Republic Network today announced the unveiling of www.intelmemo.com, a new web site that provides news, analysis and research material regarding the plans by partisan Democrats on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to use sensitive intelligence data for political attacks against the Bush Administration, as outlined in a recently revealed internal memo. The Network also called for the immediate resignation of the Committee’s Vice Chairman, Senator Jay Rockefeller. Executive Director Robert Hahn released the following statement:
“The members of the Senate Intelligence Committee have access to our government’s most sensitive secrets. The lives of America’s soldiers and intelligence agents depend on their using that knowledge responsibly. It is now clear that certain partisan members of this vital committee have conspired to misuse their positions, influence, and access to classified information to undermine President Bush during the 2004 campaign season.
The leaked memo describes a phony ‘independent investigation’ designed to let the Democrats dig through classified material – information that should be used to improve our national security – to support and publicize their political agenda. We agree with Senator Zell Miller that this abuse must not be tolerated, ignored, or excused, and that “heads should roll.”
Therefore, I ask every American citizen to join me in calling for the immediate resignation of Jay Rockefeller from the United States Senate. As ranking Democratic member of the Intelligence Committee, Senator Rockefeller is responsible for the acts of his subordinates. We cannot permit America's national security to be damaged by partisan political warfare.”
The complete contents of the memo, press articles, transcripts from the Congressional Record and other information can be found at www.intelmemo.com.
The Free Republic Network is a 501(c)(4) public service corporation whose mission is to organize, train and support conservative activists nationwide. It provides information and organizational services to more than 50 regional and issue-based chapters around the country, and serves as the activism arm of the Free Republic Forum.

Ping you too ! ...
You bet ! ...
I'm not very surprised, either...
After all, the RATs in Sacramento were caught by dozens of reporters and Republicans with the open mike during the caucus meeting where they talked about all the possible political gain to be had by dragging out the budget process. The story went through the papers so quick you'd think it never had have happened.
I recall that. In and out of the news quicker than crap through a goose... Barely a blip on the radar...
But we were subject to weeks and weeks about a supposed lie in the State of the Nation speech that virtually every article confirms as being the truth - that there was a report, that the report investigation was inconclusive, that the report came from a questionable source, and that the English still stand by the report.
They are still beating that into the ground - it became the basis for most of the democratic campaigns for president this time around...
Perhaps someone should doctor up a similarly sounding memo, this time casting a dark shadow on Republicans, and see how quickly reporters will gobble it up and plaster it across the newspapers on the front page. Perhaps even tip off the NY Post and other right leaning publications so that the scam can be exposed, and left leaning papers can demonstrate to all how quickly they'll put out junk.
The only problem with that idea (and it IS a good one) is that the fact that it was a scam, a hoax on the media, would never see the light of day...
I have copied to everyone in my adress book. I hope others here will as well!
