Hi stockman_scott; Re the NPR transcript. It just keeps getting worse for the Bush administration. From your link: INSKEEP: One lawmaker who did ask for classified information is Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel. He's a Vietnam veteran and a Republican member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Senator CHUCK HAGEL (Republican, Nebraska): I have been briefed all this month by Pentagon intelligence people, by the CIA, by the State Department. Based on all the intelligence briefings that I've received, I do not know of, nor am I aware of, additional intelligence that would link Saddam Hussein to any action taken directly against the United States. [Bilow: I don't know how to interpret this next passage. If it were stated by someone I loved, I would woefully assume senility.] Sec. RUMSFELD: And of course, the advantage of not acting against the moon would be that no one could say that you acted. They would say, `Isn't that good? You didn't do anything against the moon.' The other side of the coin of not acting against the moon in the event that the moon posed a serious threat would be that you then suffered a serious loss and you're sorry after that's over. -- Carl
