Clinton Appointee Linked to Bombshell Anti-Bush Intel Memo
A former member of the Clinton administration is being linked to a bombshell Senate Intelligence Committee memo outlining a strategy to use Iraq war intelligence gathered by the committee to help drive President Bush from office in 2004.
In an editorial Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported:
"[Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-WV,] refuses to denounce the memo, which he says was unauthorized and written by staffers. If that's the case, at the very least, some heads ought to roll. A good place to start would be minority staffer Christopher Mellon, who served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence in the Clinton administration."
One of Mellon's former bosses, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, has been sharply critical of the Bush administration's policy in Iraq. Last week she accused the White House of trying cover-up battlefield casualties and said Bush's decision to invade Iraq was "the antithesis of the rule of law."
The Journal recommended that, until those responsible for the Democrats' decision to politicize intelligence are fired, the Intelligence Committee should be "shut down, cleaned out and reconstituted later, preferably after the next election."
On Wednesday Democratic Sen. Zell Miller said attempts by committee Democrats to undermine an American president at a time of war were "perhaps treasonous."
"If what has happened here is not treason, it is its first cousin," Miller charged, in a statement released by his office.
