What are we missing?
There’s something going down.
First there’s the McClellen book. I just don’t think Scotty is off the reservation at all. I think he’s still on the Bushco team, out dragging red herrings all over the place.
Then Jessica Yellin is blabbing to Anderson Cooper about the news censorship at ABC during the buildup to the war and during the war itself.
My instincts tell me that these events are connected, and the whole thing is maybe one of those Nixonian partial hangouts, where you throw out a few crumbs to the media and start a feeding frenzy over nothing much, and they all get distracted from whatever the REALLY BIG story is.
So, what’s the REALLY BIG story that they’re missing?
The Bugliosi book? Naaah. That’s really just a polemic (no matter how much I agree with him), an exhortation to put the Cheney Gang on trial. It doesn’t reveal anything new.
Frankly, I don’t know what the BIG STORY is, but I think there is one, and I think were all missing it.

5. Just how the Iran/Contra congressional hearings obfuscated the real smoking guns

7. Didn't some guy named Clinton help gloss over that whole thing?

The GOP players in that escapade really need to make sure one of their puppets has the bully pulpit next January.
