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

Yep... I've been saying for a few days now that the leak to CBS came from her office.

[MEG33]

Rumsfield warned that there are more pictures and videos.They are horrendous and brutal..and will be really bad to see.
He just saw them as they were kept in the criminal investigation division on disks,under lock and key....(WHO released the pictures,it was illegal to do so!).

CBS should be censured by everyone for putting our troops in harms way and perhaps harming a criminal investigation.I want these perps to be properly punished,not get off on a technicality.

You don't fire the CEO over a dozen rotten employees in a company of 300,000+ employees. You "fire" the employees.

Judging from the commentary here and some of the instant polling, I'd say the President and Donald Rumsfeld just shut this whole thing down. The talking heads will howl about it all weekend, and I'm sure that Chris Matthews will spit on every Republican he sees for a few more days, and I'm sure Kerry will dredge it up several times between now and November when his campaign really starts to flounder, but this whole story is as finished as yesterday's newspaper.

Now on to the next media-manufactured "crisis."

Do the HOuse and senate flip a coin to see who goes first?

[kcvl]

For anyone who missed it...


Let's not leave CBS out of this...

I'm gonna puke at all these CSPAN callers....
I used to love politics, I am loathing all of em at this point (OK, I love our president and Rummy is awesome) but for the most part they all suck.

I think I need to crawl into a hole and get into fetal position. Thank God for Freepers and this forum.

>>SUE CBS FOR DAMAGES, SUE CBS FOR DAMAGES, IF THEY AIR ANOTHER PIC, SUE THEM AGAIN

Bears repeating.

[Howlin]

Well, Rumsfeld is there and laughing and smiling.

[Cold Heat]

Rumsfeld did in fact bow up when he addressed Clintons questions.

Could be that he knows?

[cajungirl]

The dems seem to be doing it one at a time,,cheney, rummy, rice,,,next will be bremer and powel. Who else can they come for?

CA: Pete Stark (D) left scathing voice mail for a military constituent

I heard this on KSFO this morning. They have played the recording at least 3 times already....An active military constituent wrote Pete Stark asking about his recent NO vote on the congressional resolution of yesterday. Congressman Pete Stark (D) called back and left the voice mail belittling the person and using foul language...

"You don't fire the CEO over a dozen rotten employees in a company of 300,000+ employees. You "fire" the employees."

You judge the CEO on how he fixes the problem.

Unless of course you are a dim, then ...

[Peach]

Rumsfeld will be ready in the House in a few minutes.

[kcvl]

Rumsfeld in House hearings coming up...

[kjam22]

Yep...this is MAY. Bush needs to stay on task. FIND OBL. Take out the terrorists in Iraq. Get those done during August or so and he stands a very good chance of being re-elected.

Bad Thunderstorm here........bye!

The sky is REALLY dark here ... I'll have to run fast

Perhaps sending photos of people jumping from buildings on 9/11 and the 4 contractors bodies (from Michael Savage Web site) to the Democrats would be a good reminder for the Democrats congresscritters.

With simple captions such as: This is abuse.
