BREAKING: Conned big time "CIA Witness" to White House Lying about Intel story found to be FRAUD

Capitol Hill Blue ^ | July 9, 2003 | Doug Thompson

Interesting, isn't it? I wish we had a hard printout of those articles. Hopefully, someone does, perhaps someone who is more concerned than we are.

I am interested in the William Rivers Pitt connection and how these people are paid.

Which brings up some interesting trains of thought. I am going to think on this for a while.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

[Sabertooth]

Todd was a cut-n-paste master, he could dig up an article faster than many around here :-)

Very true, and I never had a problem with that, nor did I quite understand why others did. Cross-referenced threads are won of the best attributes of FR.

That said, I'm gonna drop it now. I only intended to give him credit for helping me find that William Rivers Pitt post, not to try and reanimate a dead horse.

She's not the first to broach the subject. The word "impeachment" has been invoked on DU and other sites, of course. But the likes of Chris Matthews (whose initial perception is usually way off and I concede when the facts are clear will admit it) and Keith Olberman have been talking hopefully about investigations and Olberman speculated to Andrea Mitchell that maybe "someone" would provide an envelope of documentation to a Congressman or something. Clearly he was thinking an informant ala "Deep Throat" would expose President Bush. By last night he had toned it down, as he's quicker than Matthews on the uptake.

There is no doubt in my mind that the dems and their allies would love "payback" for clinton's impeachment and they are willing ("Bush Knew!") to pull out all the stops to try and achieve this end.

It gets "curiouser and curiouser"!

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Japan today published it. Pitt says they shouldn't have.

I am beginning to wonder if Thompson is really dismayed that anyone else picked up the article.

And, again, how many other articles are there, that use this source... where else are the published?

[MJY1288]

:-)

[Sabertooth]

"won" should be "one," sheesh.

[Redleg Duke]

I don't fight for fun and I think this thread has gone on far enough to the point where we both have lost track of the original purpose.

Let's just agree to disagree and retain our mutual contempt for each other.

Now, get in the last words so that you won't be stewing in your own juices for the rest of the week.

[MEG33]

What did you think of his "no unnamed sources pledge"!?

[Lauratealeaf]

In the meantime, I mentioned I have the radio on and the ABC news at the top of the hour played a clip of Sheila Jackson Lee calling for an independent prosecutor be appointed and she specified the Nigerian story.

I know some will laugh because she is laughable, but ABC didn't think so, which goes back to the media willingness to carry dem water.

It's funny though that the Sheila Jackson Lees of the world don't find perjury an impeachable offense and yet mentioning some faulty intel in a speech is. It's funny but it is not surprising.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Until he writes a lengthly piece, detailing all of the times this bogus "source" was used, and then backtracks on each and every point that was made using this source as a reference, I will just ignore CHB.

How about you?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Here it comes... from Rush, I think?!

[Mo1]

Interesting, isn't it?

Yes it is, as for hard print .. someone may have them, problem is out of all the articles CB has done .. we don't know for sure which ones were deleted

[MEG33]

Been doing that since the Madman at 1600 post.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Nah... Novak. Sorry.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

If even Thompson cannot put this to rest, and now digs up another dead horse for us to beat, then perhaps we are foolish if we pay him too much attention.

[Sabertooth]

Then Pitt claims that they had no permission to republish it.

Make that "no permission to republish the republishing," since I guess that's how we should parse the phrase "stole it, too."

Did the Japan Today article credit truthout?

Do they have other truthout articles posted/stolen?

Will William Rivers Pitt pursue legal remedies to prevent Japan Today from stealing and more widely disseminating his screeds in the future?

More importantly, will Rocky be able to defuse the bomb and still save Bullwinkle as he plummets down Frostbite Falls?

[Mo1]

The word "impeachment" has been invoked on DU and other sites, of course.

Yes, I have noticed that from a number of the talking rats on TV. I agree, they want blood and will do anything to get it

[cyncooper]

Here it comes... from Rush, I think?!

I thought he was gearing up to address it, too, but he's on another Novak column about the resignation of that counter-terrorism expert who joined the Kerry campaign and now the replacement is a clinton holdover.

I am sorely tempted to turn him off at this point---but I won't----yet.
