Perjury meets Treason: Pentagon LIED to Congress re Saddam-Al Qaeda tie
As recently as January 2004, a top Defense Department official misrepresented to Congress the view of American intelligence agencies about the relationship between Iraq and Al Qaeda, according to a new report by a Senate Democrat.

The report said a classified document prepared by Douglas J. Feith, the under secretary of defense for policy, not only asserted that there were ties between the Baghdad government and the terrorist network, but also did not reflect accurately the intelligence agencies' assessment - even while claiming that it did.
More here.

We must take back the White House and at least one house of Congress -- that's the only way we'll see members of the PNAC-AIPAC-Heritage Axis of Evil indicted for their perjury and treason.

3. National Frog March Day...
I would bet that US Attorney General Eliot Spitzer could arrange for simultaneous multiple arrests and massive media coverage within the first 100 days of the Kerry-Edwards Administration.

A "National Frog March Day" featuring the apprehension of Doug Feith, Larry Franklin, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, and a number of their outside associates would do much to restore the credibility of the Executive Branch -- not only to patriotic citizens at home but to governments around the world.

4. What you can do: CALL your reps in DC -- tell them to speak up!
Both of my Senators (Dems) are likely to release a statement later today demanding that Rumsfeld act to get rid of the lying Office of Specuial plans liars. I'm calling my Congressman too.

5. i agree w/ you about calling the reps and senators
Edited on Fri Oct-22-04 11:22 AM by xchrom
the only thing i would add -- is the connection w/ the pentagon and the corporate world.
there are layers to this that boggle the mind.
that's why senators -- though i do call and write -- like feinstein make me so crazy.

i really need to look before i post sometimes.
