Monday 7/18: "Shocking" Election Practices to be Revealed

<http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x384423>

The election fraud needs to be dealt with so badly it's unbelievable.

Please keep us updated. I think McKinney is one of the best! I loved it when she was grilling Rumsfeld about 9/11 earlier this year and he was shaking in his boots! A little black lady from the deep south making big bad Rummy shake and stutter. Does anybody have any idea of what she has?? Is it just me or is a lot falling out?

What if another boy scout, an issue of national significance, gets covered? What if another bride decides to run away from the groom at the altar? What if a white girl who matters very much to the national conscience (even though I can't think of the last time a minority got as much coverage for a similar situation) gets murdered in some paradise retreat somewhere by some sickos?

This seems to have just come up on the website of the New Yorker, a new article by Seymour Hersch describing how an attempt was made by the Bush Administration to rig the election in Iraq:

"...Sometime after last November’s Presidential election, I was told by past and present intelligence and military officials, the Bush Administration decided to override Pelosi’s objections and covertly intervene in the Iraqi election. A former national-security official told me that he had learned of the effort from “people who worked the beat”—those involved in the operation. It was necessary, he added, “because they couldn’t afford to have a disaster.”

A Pentagon consultant who deals with the senior military leadership acknowledged that the American authorities in Iraq “did an operation” to try to influence the results of the election. “They had to,” he said. “They were trying to make a case that Allawi was popular, and he had no juice.” A government consultant with close ties to the Pentagon’s civilian leaders said, “We didn’t want to take a chance.”

I was informed by several former military and intelligence officials that the activities were kept, in part, “off the books”—they were conducted by retired C.I.A. officers and other non-government personnel, and used funds that were not necessarily appropriated by Congress. Some in the White House and at the Pentagon believed that keeping an operation off the books eliminated the need to give a formal briefing to the relevant members of Congress and congressional intelligence committees, whose jurisdiction is limited, in their view, to officially sanctioned C.I.A. operations. (The Pentagon is known to be running clandestine operations today in North Africa and Central Asia with little or no official C.I.A. involvement.) ..."
