"I'm losing sympathy for these families. We all lose loved ones. We don't all get millions of dollars because of it. But we all have to get over it."

The cheering section was probably the Clarke family and all those connected with his book...LOL

[mewzilla]

Never mind :) I just found the thread about the backround discussion. I take it that's what the Dems are squealing about? Bwah hah hah hah hah.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Glasses are off, lets hope he's taken the gloves off too.

[Howlin]

made it impossible for Bush officials not to attack the prior administration -- this is very unfortunate for the country

That's exactly what the left wants; they want to destroy this country.

Ben is controlling this commission like he is the Chairman.....this is turning into smashing victory for the OTHER SIDE!

GEEEZ... You are getting to be one pain in the ASS!!!!

[Carolinamom]

Condi is not there because she is an employee of the EXECUTIVE branch of the government and the LEGISLATIVE branch has no right per sec to breach it.

[texasbluebell]

From what I can make of the bogus charge, Angle and FNC released something that was supposed to be "background" only.

And now it's being implied that this was a breach of etiquette at the least, if not a breach of journalistic standards.

[Styria]

Racy!

[LisaFab]

Could someone give me the shorthand version of what Angle was supposed to have done that was so unethical?

The short answer is: nothing.

He had the foresight to save a tape of an interview Clarke did with a few TV reporters in August 2002. The WH has the option of making its contents "for the record" or "off the record." At the time they kept it OTR. Now, when Clarke is trying to butcher them, the administration has made them available.

Angle says this happens every day.

[Just mythoughts]

lol, PATIENCE!

[mewzilla]

I don't supposed anyone has asked about Toon's EO banning assassination?

[Qwinn]

*nod* They keep bringing up Condi because they can't find anyone else who has any real credibility that can speak in public.

As long as there is anything that is not out in the open, they will always point "behind the door" and say the problem is back there. We all know that it would be savagely dangerous to reveal everything. Therefore, this will never end.

This is downright Orwellian. I'm seriously, literally frightened at how Stalinist this show trial is.

The administration still has many arsenals in its portfolio. We have the bully pulpit and the President of the United States. We can make news to destroy Richard Clarke any time we desire.

I'm certain the administration is monitoring the media coverage over the next 48 hours and the response of the American people.

[hoosiermama]

got a link?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

He was the longest serving Governor of Illinois .

[Gucho]

"guns will be gone if Kerry wins....ammo too."

.......and country.

[gswilder]

Fox said the reason it was "background" is that the White House asked them to do it that way. So today, they asked if they could release it, and they agreed. So it basically was the White House that decides whether it is on the record or background.

[PISANO]

Just calling like I see it. If you have an opinion other than my paining you please state it!
