Who's the next DEEP THROAT?
Whom from this so-called government will be the next Deep Throat and step up to the plate and tell all how the WH went about cooking the evidence on WMD in Iraq and how they lied about it to get a war they wanted from the beginning. Yes, we have the "Downing Street Memo" but it's not getting any play in the MSM. Is there someone from this WH who will be brave enough to step forward and save this democracy?

3. I think the bigger question is this:
Is there a reporter, and an editor, brave enough to defy corporate bosses to spend resources on an investigation that may not bear fruit for months if not years?
And even if such a pair exist, will they be at a media outlet important enough to bring pressure on the administration?

4. Yes, that's the question.
I just don't see how in the 10-second-soundbite world of news today that ANY organization would devote manpower to such a complex and deep story.

8. I don't think there is one....
they are saving all of their resources so that when there is a DEM in the WH they will be ready to go after him/her with the same energy they went after Clinton for 8 years.

7. The BIG difference between THEN and NOW is that...
THEN the media and the people actually cared about such things. Today, even if there were a DT II to come out of this White House, the "media" and the WH would regard it as "old news" (I can hear the spin now), and the public would accept that as truth.

10. the (zero) US Media response to The Downing Street Memo...
pretty much indicates that a Deep Throat II could have pictures of Bush fucking cows (oops, he does that already)and it would be spun as an ad for Dairy Week.

15. Don't spread false rumors - Bush does NOT fuck cows.
He does masturbate horses, however. And that came directly from his wife.

11. I'm going with...
Sylvia Saint. Just kidding, please don't delete, but I would say nobody. With the way the Bushies are running the place, no place is safe for a squealer.
