More from the same column: Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, the committee's ranking Democrat, denigrated the memo because it was "prepared by a staffer."
All this denies the reality of the words in the memorandum. The "we" used in the document proves more than one person was involved in crafting the attack. It is also evident the strategy for "pulling the trigger" on an investigation "early next year" aimed at bringing down the president was amply discussed for some time. It is also apparent that no matter what the ongoing review of Iraq war intelligence produces, those who crafted the document have already decided on the need to "assiduously prepare Democratic 'additional views' to, among other things, castigate the majority [Republicans] for seeking to limit the scope of the inquiry."
Curiously, no investigative reporter has taken note of the sentence referring to the "FBI Niger investigation [which] was done solely at the request of the vice chairman." Until now, we have been led to believe the CIA asked the FBI to investigate who "leaked" the name of one of their clandestine service officers. The authors of the memo seem to know better.
What else they know about political terrorism in the corridors of power should be the matter of a new FBI investigation. After all, as Georgia Democrat Sen. Zell Miller said of the contents of this memo, "If this is not treasonous, it's the first cousin of treason."

From the link in lorne's message...by Oliver North.
North and Hannity are really both upset about this memo, and so should we all be. Hopefully, we will have a full investigation of the "Intelligence" committee.
--Who actually wrote it...and with whose help?
--What about the Niger 'investigation' vice chairman?
--Zell Miller is entirely correct in his assessment, IMO. |
