Re: "The conviction by the grand jury is a "smoking gun"" I just told you, that's not a conviction! How the hell would you know if I'd "failed to condemn those who denied Harriet Meirs her day in court" If I never spoke on SI at all about Meirs, it doesn't preclude me from having an opinion (of which you'd obviously be unaware!). But first off, she WASN'T denied a day in court. Second, she turned down the job. Third, if she was pressured to withdraw, we don't know the nature of it. Fourth, if she was simply questioned toughly by Republicans and decided she didn't want to go through with it, then who's to condemn, MEIRS? Or perhaps Republicans shouldn't be so tough on poor Harriet, and I should condemn them indeed. Hmmm... RE: "You say that the White House did not provide the evidence of the fuselage buried in the sand." YOU LIE!!!!. I said no such thing!!! Now, if that wasn't a lie and you are merely sadly mistaken SOMEHOW!!!!!!, please forgive me, and I know you'll apologize one way or the other (yeah, right :-(). I noted that U.N. inspectors noted the fuselage, and asked you to tell us if you have some evidence that the White House somehow "lied" about it. You didn't do so so far. I said nothing about a fuselage "buried in the sand", because it was photographed quite NOT buried in the sand via Satellite photo, during the very time frame noted by those giving the testimony. This fuselage was at a training camp of Saddam's, you know, a camp for HIS guys. Even WITHOUT the testimony of Iraqis who saw Saudis training there, WHAT is SaDDAM doing with a FUSELAGE in a TRAINING CAMP for HIS GUYS without a RUNWAY (suggests some purposeful transport with a reason, that's for sure)? But see, rather than even admit that such evidence is compelling at all, you just muddy the waters by suggesting that the testimony of Saudis training there was paid for (even though you have zilch evidence of such). It's like, you are Al Qaeda. Yes, you say what Al Qaeda would, were I arguing with Al Qaeda, I swear. Dan B.
