The Weakly Standard article is an out-and-out lie. Oh? How so? The only thing the DoD denied was that the memo contained any NEW intelligence or analysis. This DoD release was nothing more than an "official" warning to those who leaked the memo that they "...are doing serious harm to national security; [and that] such activity is deplorable and may be illegal." But it does confirm the memo's existence and content. The Senate committee effectively did the same. Just what is it you think the Weekly Standard made up? It supposedly uses "secret" information just so it doesn't have to back it up. LOL. Nice twisted logic. A top secret Senate briefing memo wouldn't be much of a news story if it contained no secrets, now would it?

Re: The Memo Douglas J. Feith. Look him up. Find out who he answers to, whose side is he on. Is he really an independent thinker in this? Bush-Cheney, via the memo, are simply using a name that hasn't been much on the front burner, in order to put forward Administration propaganda. The memo is like all the other BS oft fed to Americans too willing to listen. And stuff like this always seems to come when Bush dips below the 50 percent approval mark. The memo is nothing but yet another ingredient to the war-terror politics pushed on genuinely frightened people by the Bush-Cheney Administration. The fact of the matter is nothing, absolutely nothing, positive is now being done to deal with the issues which breed and widen terrorism in our world. People have to begin to realize that the Bush-Cheney approach is only enhancing the conditions upon which terrorists are made. Think of this all as a game of chess. Just because you can take a piece, i.e., kill a terrorists or few, doesn't mean that taking the piece is the right move with respect to overall position. Better to understand why that piece is there for the taking. Killing is not the way to solve our problem. It is not the way to solve their problem. One can say, "But they're killing us!" But then one has to ask, "Why are they killing us?" The second question, post-9/11, never got to the table of the Bush-Cheney Administration. Instead, Bush-Cheney are falling for the sacrifice, this under a false pretense that they can take a piece and make their own game look better. You see, in the game of chess, in the game of life, it won't happen that way. Never has, never does and never will.
