The AP: Never Have So Few Kept So Many in the Dark for So Long

This is, IIRC, the first time I've ever clicked the button for "Breaking News." The reason is that part of this story is a "confession" on behalf of James Lee Witt, which I received in a private e-mail a 2:42 this a.m.

I Googled Hildebrand so I have a reasonable idea of who he is (a leftist Clintonista). But I'd appreciate more information on him from those who've followed his trail.

The AP does nothing more than produce press releases for the Democrats.

Tell Bush to ban them from the White House grounds and issue a press release listing all of their deceptions and exclusions. This would destroy AP.

Every time I hear "AP" I think "A$$HOLE PRESS"

[Republican Wildcat]

Are you sure it isn't the other way around?

[Mamzelle]

Bump--rather daring! Is there a La. ping list?

If this is true, is it possible Witt was not really hired by Blanco to protect and serve her.
Was he forced upon her by the Klintons to have him close to the spin machine in an attempt to protect these and other frauds?

[msnimje]

The Impeach Blanco site has a video clip of her admitting she should have asked fo the Nationa Guard earlier. Also lots of other great stuff.

As far back as 9 years ago puts it under the clintoonian administration and under Witt, the latter now working for the state govt the money went to. HHHmmmmmnnnnn!!!

If I'd meant to state it that way, I would have. But I didn't.

"The IEM press release that contains the erroneous information has been disappearing and reappearing, another sign of something suspicious with IEM.”


The last press release I can find on their website
is dated February 16, 2005.

[Congressman Billybob]

The press release referred to is the one that I noted was changed, which announced the IEM contract award in 2004. Originally it announced that James Lee Witt Associates was a "partner" in the project.

AFTER my article on Witt, the original 2004 release got modified. The date was the same, but a footnote appeared, claiming that Witt Associates were not involved in carrying out the project. I have in hand screen captures of the release, before and after it was mysteriously changed. LOL.

You've all heard of a military coup. This is a media coup.

[dixiechick2000]

Ohhhh...I see.
Thank you for the clarification.

LOL!
Why, you sly devil. ;o)

Excellent sleuthing!

If Witt's spokesman knows about the fraud, then Witt does, too.
I wonder why he would leave himself so exposed?
As far as a reporter being interested in asking him about this, don't hold your breath.
He was part of the exhalted Clinton administration, after all.
