FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, GEORGE, WILL YOU PLEASE DECLASSIFY WILSON’S CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY AND EXPOSE THE LIAR ONCE AND FOR ALL??? Yes, I’m shouting.

You can shout all you want, but you'd be better served by refreshing your knowledge of the separation of powers. The president can't declassify any congressional testimony. Only congress can, because transcripts of congressional testimony are the property of congress.

In addition, I don't know if Wilson's testimony is or is not classified. Most congressional testimony is public information. However, the dominant media in this country is not interested in putting out the truth regarding this, or any, Republican president. To the media:

-- Hoover caused the great depression all by himself.
-- Eisenhower was dumb.
-- Nixon was evil incarnate.
-- Reagan was a likeable dunce.
-- George H.W. Bush was a wimpy, out-of-touch patrician.
-- George W. Bush is a combination of all of the above.

And it doesn't help the Republican/conservative cause when even people on our side, like you, blindly, constantly knee-jerk blame the president for everything under the sun. So let me make it bluntly clear: Neither President Bush, nor any president, is responsible for what congress does. Congress is a separate branch of the federal government.

Assuming, of course, that I wasn't yelling at Sen. George Voinovich of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. And I wouldn't be too sure that the testimony of Wilson - a "contractor" of the Executive Branch - didn't appear subject to an Executive Branch classification of his testimony. Perhaps it isn't as cut and dried as you think. But thank you for pointing it out so politely. /s

The point is that those privy to the secret testimony have said point blank that Wilson's public statements contradict his secret testimony. That Wilson continues to hide behind a shield of secrecy when a redacted release of his testimony would end this national bloodletting - look, you KNOW DAMN WELL the rats are using this as a campaign tool - is just plain stupid.
