The Liberal Media is just a Democratic Cult and they would burn this information as an offering to their collectivist god, Kerry

Well said.

There is just so much evidence to the contrary that Saddam and Osama [bin Laden] hated each other, were in opposite poles in the world.

Yet, other anti-war activists have claimed that attacking Saddam "played into the hands of Al-Qaeda" by increasing its recruitment and that Saddam wanted the attack for the same reason.

These people really need to compare notes before they spout off.

Yep, just got caught up on that other thread. Now that they are web published, it will hit the blogosphere and then the chat rooms and email lists.

3 weeks is plenty of time for this to perculate down in sheeple land via email.

I posted the original first arcticle from CNS to a private chat board dominated by libs. Twas absolutely priceless to watch them foam.

I'm off to create more mayhem!

They did provide the provenance of the documents, just not the name of the non political appointed employee. This means he is a career employee and his job is on the line because I'm pretty sure he broke the law in providing the documents.

They provided far more provenance than Blather did, who was finally forced to admit what everyone had already guessed.

I'm not saying you shouldn't be sceptical, but we should all demand that professional journalist do their damn job and investigate the news instead of filtering it to suit their political agenda.

Hey Mike Austin...Hitler didn't have love-ins with Mussolini either. Didn't stop him from coordinating with him. Ditto Hirohito!

"Non-political appointed employee" is an oxymoron.

If he/she is a career employee, then they have protection of civil service as well as through the whistle-blower act.

This is just another reason to be very very sceptical about these documents.

If these documents were actually from a government agency, Why would the Bush administration be keeping these documents hidden? Makes no sense at all.

[Valpal1]

The whistleblower act isn't going to protect a civil service employee from leaking seized foreign documents to the media.

The Bush administration isn't hiding anything. There are mountains of documents to be translated and declassified. The mills of the gods grind slowly, etc.

This person was trying to leapfrog the system, perhaps because some other career employee was stymieing his efforts to bring these documents to higher level attention?

I'd wager that most civil servants in D.C. are dimrats and not all of them serve Republican presidents well.
