It occurs to me that all those leaks about prosecuting Bush Admin officials for torture, lying, etc. were not intended as trial balloons, but so that former officials were too scared to speak out like this against Obama when he lies, distorts and commits treason. It won’t work against courageous men like Rummy and Cheney, but it can deter others who are less secure.

Yes, we’ve always had to deal with those with an agenda. There are many more today. But, there are a few who care enough about their profession, etc., to want an accurate recording of events.

I know a few. That’s why I corrected my post.

The problem is that the others far out-number them, and the bad actors control the limelight, for the most part.

It’s important that the records of those who do accurate work are substantiated by those who were there and have actual knowledge of the events.

Yes, the liars far outnumber the truth tellers in the media.

Thankfully Albore’s invention is making life very difficult for the liars.

Little by little the facts emerge. It’s going to be up to us to disseminate the true facts to as many people as possible.

I’ve thought the same. I’ve also thought that they may as well speak out now, or, at least, get the info out. It isn’t likely that silence will save them, and may prove more harmful in the long run - for them and for the country.

The enemy is within, and that’s where it will have to be engaged whether or not we like it.

Yoo Hoo- Colin? Where are you? Fact-checking Tiger Woods’ rolodex?

Why all of a sudden no news on casualty levels?

More soldiers are dying on his watch and the enemy is sitting fat dumb and happy and getting more so with every passing day.

This is SICK.

God help the soldiers that will die and be mutilated for no particular reason as this skinny mohammedan crtypto-muslim uses them for photo ops and political expediency.

A price must be paid.

Major Nidal Hasan had an enabler ... Mark Steyn

Steyn pretty much says it all with regard to keeping silent.

Rummy profitited greatly from the ASPERTAME poisoning of our populace. He cares more about $ than the lives of our populace.

If you don't like Rumsfeld, that's fine with me, but isn't that whole aspartame thing just an overblown internet scare hoax?

Neither Gibbs nor Obama nor any of Obama’s thugs he’s surrounded himself with answered that inquiry by Secretary Rumsfeld, did they?

Obama should make allegations perfectly clear if he’s going to make them about a previous administration and not have his yes man press secretary make what he considers cute remarks about about them.

Obama and his thugs are making a mockery of the Presidency and they’re too stupid to realize it.

Donald Rumsfeld has more integrity than all of them put together!

"Wait until history judges Obama, Glibbs and all of the democrat hacks in Congress!"

The hell with history! Let the citizenry judge.

Lamp posts are awaiting.

They can never answer, they would have to expose their lies.

Jaz, this gives a good timeline on troop requests, when you have the time

Don't think so, smoothesailing, try http://www.rense.com/general67/rum.htm or Google Aspertame "Rumsfeld"
