>“There are already rumours circulating that Osama bin Laden is being held somewhere already and it’s only that they are trying to decide what day they should bring him out,” McDermott told Confederation of Indian Industry representatives at a luncheon in New Delhi on Thursday.

Yes, my apologies..........I missed that it was WorldNet..........Because they spelled rumor with a 'u', I figured it was a foreign paper and didn't pay too much attention to the name in the masthead.

Interestingly enough, he did make a similar comment about Saddam Hussein the year before:

So, yeah, the dude was irresponsible. He should not have said that. That sort of conduct is unbecoming of a Congressman.

Is it really?

Bush/Cheney are people who started a war over innuendo and were unwilling to wait for validation as to whether Saddam had WMDs. They sent Powell, the credible, to the UN who pushed hard the WMD meme. When you set up to deceive and intentionally withhold important information and misrepresent the info you do give out, I think its imperative that our elected officials question everything that is being done.

Let's not forget the atmosphere that existed back then after 9/11 where people were afraid to object to anything that might be seen as criticism of Bush/Cheney and the crap they were pulling. Seems to me McDermott showed some courage questioning the Bush/Cheney BS.
