In coming weeks, Democratic elected officials will question the President’s intentions on the pending war with Iraq. Writers and broadcasters friendly to the Democratic cause have already been provided talking points suggesting the war is about oil, not terrorism. “The talking points were developed before the end of last year and sent out to operatives and friendly media,” one Democratic consultant confided. “No Democratic member of Congress will question the President’s patriotism openly but we will use the media and other surrogates to raise doubts.”
Capitol Hill Blue obtained a copy of the talking points when the Democratic National Committee sent them to a news outlet recently acquired by CHB’s parent company. The talking points outline a strategy to raise public doubts of the President’s real intentions, including: --Saying the war is about oil and will be fought to benefit oil companies that have long supported Bush and the Republican party;
--Claiming the Bush administration has “manufactured” evidence against Saddam Hussein and used that evidence to encourage Britain and other allies to join the American fight against Iraq;
-- Capitol Hill Blue, January 6, 2003.

"The report had already been discredited," said Terrance J. Wilkinson, a CIA advisor present at two White House briefings. "This point was clearly made when the President was in the room during at least two of the briefings."
Bush's response was anger, Wilkinson said.
"He said that if the current operatives working for the CIA couldn't prove the story was true, then the agency had better find some who could," Wilkinson said. "He said he knew the story was true and so would the world after American troops secured the country."

A few more questions: Does Terrance J. Wilkinson even exist? Did he ever? Or was he a voice in Doug Thompson's head...???
It isn't clear at this point, but my own sense is that Thompson-as-dupe is rather more likely than Thompson-as-Jayson-Blair...
I'm inclined to give Doug the benefit of the doubt, as well. But, at the same time, I submit that there should be doubt.
He's got a history of going over the top with respect to Bush in the past (The Madman on Pennsylvania Avenue). This may well be another such case of bile mixed with "anonymous sources" cum fabrication.
You're welcome, and I agree.
On another note, I love this site!
Yeah. Me too.
IM(NS)HO, this whole story has fallen with the impact of a wet noodle on most of the general electorate.
The "He LIIIEEED. Impeach him" outcry you hear now on most of the radio and TV talk shows is obviously the brainchile of the DNC (if it can be accused ov having a brain), and is coming principally from RAT seminar callers. They all sound exactly alike, whether they are calling Neal Boortz, Rush, Roger Hedgecock, Glen Beck, or whoever, etc etc ad infinitum. Can't be that many RAT seminar callers.
The lap-dog media, baying with great voice, is trying to whip this up as something even worse than Nixon's Watergate. And few in the media can resist something they see as the next "Watergate".
The public seems to yawn and view the whole episode with uninterested bemusement. After all, we know that Sodom has had weapons of mass destruction such as VX and biological agents. If he didn't have an atomic bomb he certainly would have given a pretty to get one. It is probable that Sodom would be trying to buy yellowcake whereever he could find it.
And where in the heck did the "forged letter" come from, and who forged it? Inquiring minds want to know.
On an earlier thread I asked Doug Thompson the same thing, but I never got an answer, nor do I expect to. In his mea culpa Thompson only offered up one flimsy anonymous source on The Hill as corroboration that Wilkinson even exists.
Terrance J. Wilkinson is a figment of Doug Thompson's imagination. Bank on it.
I don't think jerking around gullible reporters is illegal just yet.
