2. He's still in the White House........
because Corporate America WANTS him in the White House. He's cut their taxes to nothing, lets them pollute, ignore safety guidelines, just about anything they want. What's not to like? :shrug: If you're Corporate America, that is. Our country is nothing more than Corporations hiding behind our flag, that is the sum total of the United States of America at this point in time. Anyone still thinking we live in a Democracy is sorely mistaken.

8. We need to start a movement to demand his and Cheney's resignation.
This is a smoking gun as far as I'm concerned.

13. The gun has been smoking for months, if not years.
One thing I'm curious about..... how did the Ch. 4 guy manage to get all that video in the Oval Office?

15. Photoshop?
I think you can request stock videos and photographs from the White House. Just think Star Wars and how did they get Hans Solo out into space?

I think it would have been better if they had just shown the background that they had up in the beginning. It doesn't make it any less true though. I thought that the actual memo was leaked from Downing Street.

22. It's clearly a computer insert of the guy
into a still of the Oval Office. Certain areas are masked off to allow him to "walk behind" things. They even placed an unseen chair in position of the seen one to allow him to sit down.

I really, really dislike this kind of thing. Credibility goes down in proportion to the number of these tricks they use.
So why do them?

23. I agree with you
it discounts credibility, and it was also quite distracting.

14. Simply put, Bush is the most devastating thug in human history.
Instead of appointing judges and declaring wars, he should be operating the washing machines in prison.

17. very interesting. It has the writen report but not the video
The White House memo
Published: 2 Feb 2006
By: Gary Gibbon
Revealed: Bush and Blair discussed using American Spyplane in UN colours to lure Saddam into war.

Channel 4 News tonight reveals extraordinary details of George Bush and Tony Blair's pre-war meeting in January 2003 at which they discussed plans to begin military action on March 10th 2003, irrespective of whether the United Nations had passed a new resolution authorising the use of force.

Channel 4 News has seen minutes from that meeting, which took place in the White House on 31 January 2003. The two leaders discussed the possibility of securing further UN support, but President Bush made it clear that he had already decided to go to war. The details are contained in a new version of the book 'Lawless World' written by a leading British human rights lawyer, Philippe Sands QC.

18. BBC Newsnight CUT their version of this report from their web replay
this morning, with no explanation given. While downloading the program last night, minutes before the report was going to play we lost our SBC DSL service. This was the second time in a week we lost service for over four hours. (The first time was the night before the Alito cloture vote, while I was faxing and emailing senators.)

Yet another CRC ("censorship-resulting coincidence"). These strange "coincidences" are becoming more and more frequent.

When I later heard Ray Taliaferro of KGO radio kick off his program with this story, I knew that the BBC report we were prevented from downloading must have been a real blockbuster.

19. I've not been able to access this video. Did anyone grab it?
Can anyone else host it online? I'd love to see it.

Shrubby could never pronounce "internecine", much less use it in a sentence.
