-——an impeachable offense——

The article attributed the pressure to the white house, not the Messiah. Valarie can’t be impeached

Yeah,I’m sure you’re right about it being Ms. Jarrett, and how much she tells sub zero is anybody’s guess. Congress ought to haul her before that committee and see if she perjures herself.

Nahh... I would like to think that the general has been told by his technical staff how many weapon systems could be affected by loss of GPS.

From the Daily Beast report: "Sloan recalled similar instances during the Bush administration, when officials were accused of trying to meddle with climate scientists’ testimony.

I'm glad to see that my supposition (2 posts up) seems to be correct.

From another report today -

In Gen Shelton’s presentation to Congress, he went prepared to warn of the dangers the LightSqaured project would pose to our GPS integrity. He said the White House attempted to pressure him into altering the substance of his testimony to indicate:

1. That the military would continue to test the proposed bandwidth for ways LightSquared could still use the spectrum space without interfering with GPS.
2. That he hoped the necessary testing for LightSquared would be completed within 90 days.

The general refused to make these changes.
