“There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years … We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction.”
– Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

Was the intelligence that he was responsible for overseeing weak, limited, fabricated? Why didn’t he oversee it then?

When it comes to intel, people believe either Bush lied re 911, Iraq, etc., or they believe what all the investigations have found: weak and limited intel-not fabricated, pressured, etc., but in both cases, up until 2003, it was Sen Rockefeller’s job to make sure the intel communities had what they needed to do their jobs, were doing their jobs, had good leaders, and were providing good intel products.

He didn’t do his job.

Those who believe all those investigations into the Bush Lied theories that claim it was bad intel believe Sen Rockefeller’s just covering his butt. At the very least, L and R should agree that this man failed in his duties which resulted in 911, war in Afghanistan, Iraq, and around the world, and now we’re supposed to trust HIM rather than hold him accountable?

Thanks for posting that. He may have good intentions in what he does but that doesn’t mean he’s right in advocating a One World Order. At least, not one controlled by banks.

Actually, they all did — It just turns out that THERE ARE NO HONEST DEMOCRATS, as evidenced by the fact that, more than 5 years later, NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM HAS EVER ASKED THE RIGHT QUESTIONS (which is the best way of guaranteeing that they never get the right anwsers, so they never have to do anything about Bush’s treason).

So, hearing a Rockefeller say that he can’t trust what ‘they’ are doing is disinformation, for it falsely implies that 1)Rockefeller wouldn’t let “them” get away with anything (ha!), and 2)that we can trust a Rockefeller (ha!).

metanoia – the unreasonable belief that somewhere out there, someone you don’t know is out to do you good

democrat – the other head of the same monster

Excellent!

“For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will.

If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”

Believing him now is…unwarranted.

Let the “whistleblowers” sing, as they have been and we won’t have to wait another two years to see these guys get their just desserts.

Why else would they be quaking in their boots right now to get NSA to grant them “after the fact absolution” for something they have been doing which clearly is criminal and in violation of the laws in place for this situation and the constitution of this country?

Could it be because it’s another case, like the rendition of prisons for torture in other countries, where they are scurrying around to cover their guilty arsses?? Presume it!

The number of “high crimes and misdemeanors” is mounting day by day and this corrupt administration will take itself down before long. Wait until Cheney’s “deep involvement” with the outing of a covert CIA agent gets into full disclosure – it’s going to “stink up Penna Avenue” like a garbage barge!!

In August 2004, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, which was investigating an Oregon charity, al-Haramain Islamic Foundation, inadvertently provided a copy of a classified document to a foundation lawyer, Lynne Bernabei.

That document indicated, according to court filings, that the government monitored communications between officers of the charity and two of its lawyers without a warrant in spring 2004.

“If I gave you this document today and you put it on the front page of The New York Times, it would not threaten national security,” Mr. Eisenberg, a lawyer for the foundation, said. “There is only one thing about it that’s explosive, and that’s the fact that our clients were wiretapped.” Here is the link to the whole story:

Good job, Rocky!
