the Washington Post begins it's attack on Wilson

Shame on you Washington Post for disguising right wing talking points as news:




http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9808374/


But nobody disputes this: Possessed of a flamboyant style and a love for the camera lens, Wilson helped propel the unmasking of his wife's identity as a CIA operative into a sprawling, two-year legal probe that climaxes this week with the possible indictment of key White House officials. He also turned an arcane matter involving the Intelligence Identities Protection Act into a proxy fight over the administration's credibility and its case for war in Iraq.


Also beyond dispute is the fact that the little-known diplomat took maximum advantage of his 15 minutes of fame. Wilson has been a fixture on the network and cable news circuit for two years -- from "Meet the Press" to "Imus in the Morning" to "The Daily Show." He traveled west and lunched with the likes of Norman Lear and Warren Beatty.

Good news there, nobodys falling for it.

I've lived in the DC / beltway area for over ten years. All this time I've subscribed to The Washington Post. IMO, the editorial staff took a sharp turn to the right wing during the build up to the Iraqi Invasion.

You want to know why EVEN some of our Democratic Representatives are NOW backing-off from withdrawal from Iraq? FOLLOW THE MONEY!!! There's billions and billions of dollars to be made by the military industrial machine worldwide. Hell! If you think that the deaths of 2000 American troops makes a difference to the uber-wealthy investor class, think again. :grr: Our true enemy is the BLOATED War Profiteers and their VAST corruption and influence via payola and other unseemly methods (intimidation, and worse). :scared: :nuke:

Wilson got in PNAC's way ... he and his CIA wife were fair game. Patriotism is reserved to further prop-up war profiteers. :puke:

Wake up American Sheeple! - the ENTIRE USA Corporate media is in on "the deal." = Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace

and tried to use Watergate as the reason.

What a sad joke. Watergate was really unimportant enough on the scandal scale. Look how the Post treated IranContra and BCCI. They attacked Kerry instead of those committing crimes against the Constitution.

A Post reporter - Michael Dobbs - actually wrote articles claiming that the swiftliars' claims were just as legitimate as Kerry's so there was no way to tell who was lying.

What a focking crock of shit. He was then used as the pundit of choice on all the news shows.

Seriously, the NYT and the WP have let the biggest stories slide, while it's been KnightRidder reporting that unveiled the REALLY big WH stories about cooked intel and the DSM.

cheerleader BFEE can have.

Milbank and Pincus always skirt around issues pretending to be just reporters, but they're really just Woodward's elves. They never go after Bush with any real teeth.

.
I shall hold up a mirror in the face of Dana Milbank and Walter Pincus and upon that mirror write:

a blowjob in the Oval Office = impeachment in the House and no "conviction" in the Senate

Now, re-write your column, you Wags, to expunge your political frivolity! What utter nonsense is your opine.

.

Milbank's at it again...

(A blast from the past for the uninitiated)

Democrats Play House To Rally Against the War

By Dana Milbank

Friday, June 17, 2005; Page A06

In the Capitol basement yesterday, long-suffering House Democrats took a trip to the land of make-believe.

They pretended a small conference room was the Judiciary Committee hearing room, draping white linens over folding tables to make them look like witness tables and bringing in cardboard name tags and extra flags to make the whole thing look official.

We already knew where Milbank's allegiances lay...:eyes::grr:

Share your thoughts with Mr. Milbank. I did.

who would do everything he can legally do to right a crime done to his wife. What a fool. :sarcasm:

Wilson anymore.

It is about the extremes Cheney Libby Bush Rove WHIG went to for their precious Iraq war.

Donald Rumsfeld Pentagon Walk for Freedom lollapalooza in D.C. a couple of months back, until some press organization reminded them that it was unethical and would make it too obvious that they are a mouthpiece for the junta.

Thinking that it might blow their very thin cover as a, cough, 'newspaper', they backed off the idea at the last minute.

A warmongering rag of a paper.

They are beyond worthless and have zero credibility.

Walter Pincus was on TV last week debunking the right wing talking points about Wilson and the whole case. He pointed out the seriousness of the probe and the underlying motives of the leak and how it is apparent that White House officials have lied and misled. He testified to Grand Jury and disagrees with Judith Miller's stance.

So I am surprised with his byline for this article that seems to me like an attempt to throw a bone to supporters of Bush and Cheney with a superficial story that doesn't cover any new ground. Perhaps the paper is trying to placate Republicans by giving the paper the appearance of being fair and balanced with a negative focus on Wilson instead of just the Bush officials. Reminds me of the way Chris Matthews of NBC straddles the fence.

He's been doing it for years.

He'll give you a few lines of truth and then come back with more disingenuous stuff to cover for the longterm story.

Richard Clarke, Paul O'Neil, how many more? I'm kind of brain dead this morning, but I know that's only a start. I'm thinking of apolitical public servants, very moderate Democrats, and actual registered Republicans, who truthfully shared important information that reflected poorly on Bush. It would be great to compile direct comparisons of how the Republican Noise Machine launched into action against all of them.

They cost Sean Penn a multi-million dollar contract. He sued though, and I believe, won.

Scott Ritter.

Kofi Annan.

I forget his name, but the head of the Int. Atomic Energy Assoc. who just recently got a peace prize. He told the truth about the Niger docs so they went after him and asked that he be fired. The International community refused. What a bunch of fascists the WAPO is supporting.

But some brave souls, like Joe Wilson refused to back off. Too bad others didn't do the same thing. And look at the extent to which they went to shut just one man up.

I read that one CIA officer said there were at least one hundred of them who wanted to speak out, but knew they would be ruined if they did.

We won't stand for this in this country ~ which is why we must spread the truth whenever the likes of propaganidists like Millbank lie about those who take a stand.

They can attack one person at a time, but millions speaking out is way more difficult for their slimy little heads.

This will end soon, and what will the WAPO have to say for itself? This is not like any other time, we have the internet now.

Boycott their advertisors!! That's the only thing that gets them thinking straight! Off to find a list to send out to all those on my email list.
