Not much misses the eagle eye of Lucianne Goldberg, plain "Lucianne" or "Lucy" to a generation of up and coming Internet journalists. Having made her mark as a journalist, literary agent, radio presenter and as chief catalyst behind the one-woman run Lucianne.com, the New York resident stands down to no one.
The woman who once caught slippery fish Bill Clinton in her net by helping Linda Tripp tape-record Clinton’s mistress Monica Lewinsky, lands a lot of fish swimming in foreign ponds. Thanks to the perspicacious Lucianne comes the Dana Priest-William Goodfellow-Center for International Policy (CIP) connection.
Washington Post National Security Correspondent Dana Priest has spent the previous eight years writing about the U.S. military. According to an Internet biography, "she was one of the first reporters on the ground for the invasion of Panama (1989), reported from Iraq in late 1990 just before the war began, and covered the 1999 Kosovo war from air bases in Europe."
Submitting her stories on the CIA and the War on Terrorism, Priest won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize in the beat reporting category.
Priest is the wife of William Goodfellow. Goodfellow is the Executive Director of the CIP.
CIP maintains a pro-Castro, anti-America agenda.
Before 9/11, the organization’s main claim to fame was as a Fidel Castro’s "think tank" on American soil. The lion’s share of its million-dollar budget was spent on lobbying to end economic sanctions and travel restrictions against Cuba.

Drudge and Lucianne made their bones on Monicagate, now Drudge has gone Hollwood and Lucianne is going MSM.
LUCY, Say it isn't so...
I was banned twice there before finding a home here. Worked out pretty good IMO.
The headline is poorly written, but the article states that Lucianne has uncovered the connection between Dana Priest, her husband and his foundation, and Joe Wilson. Lucianne has NOT sold out!

LOL...so was I.....my crime was that I addressed another poster...
Yeah, mine as well. "Oh, the Humanity!"
And because Lucianne makes the Dana Priest-William Goodfellow-Center for International Policy (CIP) connection she's now gone Mainstream Press?
I don't understand your thinking.
They were extremely ban-happy over there in the early days. Got banned once or twice myself before settling in here. Have a lot of respect for Trixie though.
I was banned also, didn't need to try twice.
Yeah you people are in good company, I too was banned from L.Com for one infraction or another. I don't blame Lucianne, I think it was a case of premature exasperation on the part of her trigger-happy editor Amy Sheehan (with THAT name, am I surprised? LOL) who apparently gets her jollies cancelling accounts for the weakest of reasons.
No matter, I am much happier here at FR and wish Ms. Lucianne well.
Doesn't her site have some kind of waiting list before you can join?
Is "Lisa Condo" still posting over there? I haven't seen anything from her in quite a while.
She used to have some real zingers about the slickmeister.
I have been on that waiting list for months.
Why? I've never looked at the site (a friend told me about it a couple of years ago), but I don't understand what makes it worthwhile that you'd sign up and wait to get selected.
I was there for a while before I found FR. FR was intimidating to me at the time; the level of discussion was so much higher here. But the level of fluff just got to be too much so I just stopped going there. As stated over there, it really is a "salon, not a saloon". I much prefer the saloon-style fights over here. 8-)
Too, it was silly how harshly they enforced the idea that posters must not talk to each other. Can you imagine the CBS memos or any other investigation were we getting banished left and right for talking to each other?
read the article, please. Headline is poorly written.
So posters don't communicate? What's the point?
FR is much more freewheeling and fun (more freedom to write whatever you like, non-news threads, interesting activist information like the Walter Reed Hospital FReeps, lots of pictures, graphics, and whatnot), although I suspect that pretty much the same crowd is at both places.
I singned up there after a few visits and haven't heard a word since. I really do go there a lot less after I realized just how little input they allow.
