Ok, time for the History Lesson. Reid knows what Karen knows

Why Reid is going after Chaney. Why Chaney is so impeachable. The evidence overwhelming.

1st,

A star witness: Lieutenant Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski

"Kwiatkowski got there just as war fever was spreading, or being spread as she would later argue, through the halls of Washington. Indeed, shortly after her arrival, a piece of NESA was broken off, expanded and re-dubbed with the Orwellian name of the Office of Special Plans. The OSP’s task was, ostensibly, to help the Pentagon develop policy around the Iraq crisis.

She would soon conclude that the OSP — a pet project of Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld — was more akin to a nerve center for what she now calls a “neoconservative coup, a hijacking of the Pentagon.”

This is a must read:
<http://www.laweekly.com/ink/04/13/news-cooper.php >

"That decision was made by the time I got there. So there was no debate over WMD, the possible relations Saddam Hussein may have had with terrorist groups and so on. They spent their energy gathering pieces of information and creating a propaganda storyline, which is the same storyline we heard the president and Vice President Cheney tell the American people in the fall of 2002.

The very phrases they used are coming back to haunt them because they are blatantly false and not based on any intelligence. The OSP and the Vice President’s Office were critical in this propaganda effort — to convince Americans that there was some just requirement for pre-emptive war"

2nd: Reid and Durban do know.

Karen Kwiatkowski's letter to the senate Judiciary Comittee, Faxed 14 May 2004 to Senate offices.

<http://www.nathancallahan.com/kwiatletter.html >

"I am sending this to reporters and others who have contacted me in the past, as a matter of courtesy and concern.
Michael Rubin is currently attempting to smear me as both a LaRouche adherent and anti-Semite, along with others at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and the National Review Online. Additionally, Senator Jon Kyl, R, Arizona, has taken these types of lies and insinuations and published them (see attached letter and text below)."
....
Obviously, the intent is to negatively impact my credibility as a witness to what went on in the Pentagon leading up to the invasion of Iraq.
....
Lastly, if this false and slanderous information has been provided to you by others, I would appreciate knowing their names and organizations. I do know that Richard Perle has been falsely claiming a LaRouche link since at least January 2004, as I was asked on video by a BBC journalist about Perle’s private statement to him in this regard. I corrected the falsehood on the record for the BBC, but obviously, the word has not gotten out to the U.S. Congress.

Thank you for your quick and honorable attention to this matter.

Karen U. Kwiatkowski

1. Who is Nathan Callahan?

It look like a pretty impressive website, and I see he's definitely progressive and from the OC, but is he credible?

[fearnobush]

2. I don't know, but I do know Karen had written the letter

There were several Freeper sites posting it to smear from a Drudge link. It is against my being to link to his site.

5. To smear what? It looks like she's distancing herself from nutcases

And I agree with you on Sludge. When I heard he gets paid on a per-click basis, I stopped going there.

I'll listen to his radio show for a laugh (and for free), but I'll be damned if I cause Egg-boy to be enriched by even a fraction of a cent.

7. To smear her (Karen) for going up against the Neo-conns.

She exposed the OSP, the Pro Isreal Neo-Conn think tanks and they said she was an anti-semite to the Judicary Commettee in an attempt to discredit her work at the OSP.

3. So this explains

why all the democrats are coming out against Iraq now and denouncing their votes. I haven't heard from Hillary and/or Liberman yet but they're pretty silent now. :shrug: I think all the democrats are unitied now and have something big planned. You can tell by recent actions by the democratic leadership. They're all coming out swinging. I was watching the House eariler this evening and there was three of them (Schwartz from Florida I believe that's how you spell it, Ryan from Ohio and a guy from Massachuettes I can't remember their name) coming out swining about FEMA. I love all this fighting with them but I do wish it would've come earlier. :( Maybe Kerry would've won in a landslide with the exit polling to where they couldn't claim the election. *Sigh*

4. I'm not sure why they balked, I read today they made a deal

with the repukes not to release Phase two of the Senate Intel. Committee report until after the election in order to get the GOP to cooperate to do it at all. Can't remember the source, but it was on Yahoo news today.

6. Could someone explain to me why there is mention of her being a "LaRouche"

adherent, and what the significance of this is? Is LaRouche considered to be an anti-Semite Commie or something?

:wtf:
