George Tenet, CIA Director, is due to testify to the 9/11 Commission.

Later today the FBI Director, Meuller, will testify.

I want to know why clintoon did not return Sandy Berger's calls when they had a chance to get bin Laden, while clintoon was out watching the Master's Golf Tournament.

[Miss Marple]

I wonder if they even asked him when he was in closed session.

Limbaugh just mentioned that the human oil slick, Ben-Veniste, actually leaked to the media yesterday that he, BV, was going to grill Ashcroft about the private plane thing.

[mewzilla]

Limbaugh's reacting to Ben-Veniste's stupidity in falling for that canard.

[BlessedByLiberty]

Wow, great minds and all that! I agree that the comment the word "leaked" used in reference to Plame is inaccurate. I do not know what if any relationship to Novak Clarke has or had. However, I do confess to having some knowledge of how political offices work.

Reporters seek out and court these types of people: bureaucrats, civil servants with service of 10 years or more, egocentrics who put out press releases from their own offices, holdovers from previous administrations.

Generally they court, flatter and encourage confidences from these people hoping for verbal leaks and actual paperwork. Based on experience and observation, Clarke was ripe for the picking by any manner of Partisan Press hacks.

I just thought about something. A RAT is considered innocent until proven guilty, and a Republican is guilty no matter what.

You will be interested to hear that Rush Limbaugh just said they have learned that George Soros is behind the ad that ran yesterday in the St. Petersburg newspaper that called for a hit on Rumsfeld.

GET OUT .. really?

Love the NY Post Cover and Editorial.

Anyone know where to find newspaper circulation numbers?

How does the Post compare to the NY Daily News in numbers?

[Cboldt]

C-SPAN is carrying testimony of the Director of the Terrorist Threat Integration Center. Just FYI, in case anybody in interested in following Commission proceedings in real time.

May I also suggest to everyone that a post card or letter is incredibly intimidating to pols. Every letter they receive means that the subject matter was so important to an someone that they would pick up a pen and influence others. Firing off an email or telephone call means to pols that it's a quick emotional response and they believe they can sidestep that. A postcard or letter carries far more weight! :)

[Brytani]

Wouldn't suprise me one bit. That man has no ethics, regard for democracy or love for his adopted country.

However, he's gotten rich enough off of the very country he hates that even if he is behind the ad, justice won't touch him. Plus he's a democrat, and we all know they never do anything wrong or illegal.

[Miss Marple]

Thanks...switching to C-SPAN.

You are right about the letter writing. I've e-mailed all too often and 2 weeks ago sent a bunch of hard copy letters; they do receive more attention.

[Howlin]

Limbaugh just mentioned that the human oil slick, Ben-Veniste, actually leaked to the media yesterday that he, BV, was going to grill Ashcroft about the private plane thing.

That's how out of touch BV and his ilk are; we here at FR knew the answer to that YEARS ago.

[Republican Red]

Postcards are a great idea. I thought letters were not getting through since the anthrax siuation with the mail.

[mewzilla]

Out of touch. Pathelogically so.

[Howlin]

"The Wives" will be joining Chris Matthews on MSNBC shortly. Again. Yes, again.

[Brytani]

Looks like the widows are slipping in popularity. I wouldn't think being invited to the lowest rated news outlet is a feather in their money grubbing, hateful caps.
