I'm sure all the networks will be showing this.

Myers dropping the hammer..

[TomGuy]

That was very interesting. Hillary had a classified document before it was released to the Pentagon? Is that right...

That was the impression I got. She was referring to some document, and Rumsfeld said that doc hadn't even gotten to the Pentagon at the time [she was referring to].

It definitely sounded like she had access to the document before the Pentagon did.

[Humal]

"WERE THEY AS HARD TO EXPLAIN AS BLOW JOBS, SENATOR???"

My thoughts exactly!!! Remember how parents were saying at the time how hard it was to explain Bubba's activities to their kids?

[Dane]

She may have screwed up, but do you think anyone will notice other than FReepers?

Call your local talk radio station about Hillary's freudian slip.

It will be heard.

[Gucho]

"Go MYERS!"

OH YEAAHH

[epluribus_2]

Yes - a DeRATification that if done sooner may have prevented 9/11 and a whole raft of ills on this damaged nation...

[arasina]

Dayton doesn't want to let him speak. I feel like screaming. I HATE THESE LEFTIST DEMOCRATS AND CO-DEPENDENT RINOS!

[ohioWfan]

I would like to issue a special CALL to PRAYER for Secretary Rumsfeld and the military staff as they testify in front of this Senate grilling.

I am praying for angels to surround and protect them, and for the TRUTH to be revealed and known, and the treachery of some of the questioners be evident.

May God protect this nation and especially our brave troops in harms way from these vultures!

Hillary screwed up. She talked about a classified document 'that everyone knew about' before it ever got to the Pentagon.

[AFPhys]

I'd love to know if CBS can be charged with violating the GC.

I know there's a military lawyer on FR sometimes who teaches GC stuff, but I believe he's an Aussie, and is probably in bed now.

[YaYa123]

Senator Dayton? is that his name? Never heard of him....but good for myers...I stand corrected on my earlier harsh judgement of his mettle. Myers is determined not to let Dayton get away with calling CBS to "suppress" the pictures.

"Suppress" is different from "delay"

Good for Rummy, he's chiming in too!!!

[Peach]

Old Media doesn't do their job.

Freepers and New Media HAVE to do theirs.


Rumsfeld: It is NOT against our principles.

[BlessedByLiberty]

Shouldn't she say that she's gotten big bucks from ViaCom-CBS before asking a question or better yet recuse herself, conflict of interest and all that.

[mikhailovich]

I'm glad all this happened. It's nothing the Iraqis don't do to their own, and nothing they haven't done to our own soldiers. Look at Jessica's story. Female U.S. soldier beaten and raped. Maybe this was behind the scenes retaliation. Stuff like this happens. They'll never stop it from happening. It's war. People get shot at, killed, F'd up. Tempers flare. People screw up. Easy for these Ivy League lawyers to pick at, sitting in their air conditioned rooms, leather chairs, and Armani suits.

Prayer bump!

[Right_in_Virginia]

Is release of photos enough of a reason for more dead American soldiers? Dayton should be smacked between the eyes.

[MEG33]

You don't like surprises?No one likes surprises!Good grief..things change on the ground.

Sen.Dayton should be impeached!..Surpress the news?.Asked them to delay the pictures to save soldiers lives."Attempts are antithetical to democracy he says". Grandstanding jerk...

[Darlin']

When we find those barbarians in Iraq who brutalized those American contractors and then descrecated their bodies we need to send Senators Dayton, Levin, Pryor, Byah and Nelson over there for a taste of what real brutality looks and feels like.

[Howlin]

Well, we can all guess what soundbite will be on the news tonight.

[Peach]

#2248 - yes, ohio.

A circle of angels and prayers indeed. Now more than ever.
