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.

Doesn't the minority have a right, in the secret confines of the Intelligence Committee room, to have pieces of paper there that aren't going to be pilfered by the majority? -- Senator Harry Reid

Can the majority expect the minority to handle themselves with integrity with the peoples' business? Reid must be defeated.

Can we expect partisan democrats to handle ANYTHING with integrity?

Thanks!

[swheats]

I don't think so.

[Chad Fairbanks]

That's about right. Hence, the importance of this :0)

[Interesting Times]

The establishment newskeepers have done a better-than-usual job of keeping this scandal suppressed. If it's going to become more widely known, it looks like we have to make it happen.

But be of good cheer. After all, time is on our side.

Yes. This will, I hope, reach a point where the media can no longer ignore the importance of this scandal - and if we all, FReepers and non-FReepers alike, work together, we can make it happen...

Very nice.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Thank you!

Well, I just faxed off a copy to my Senators, Murray and Cantwell...

Ya think it would irritate Rockef***er if his offices were to be inundated with these faxes?

[Chad Fairbanks]

Probably ;0)


I don't see that as a downside, though ;0)

[Republic]

WONDERFUL!!! Just flat out fantastic! Off to visit the site right now as I welcome Rush back into the wild mix of political depravity demonstrated by the democrats, especially over the last few weeks,

[Mo1]

Thanks for the Ping

Excellent work Chad ..

What has happened in the Select Intell Committee and the Libs using the nations national security to score political points is a DISGRACE!!

[abner]

We must hold them ALL accountable! Rush is back and can hopefully shine the light on this like it should be! Between him and Hannity, this should have major 'legs'!
