Reply #153: Mueller testifies in April

[RainDog]

will be interesting to watch and see what questions the 9-11 Commission asks, considering Edmonds has testified before them as well.

This story resonates with me for a couple of reasons...

First, what happened to Edmonds reminds me so much of the whole Plame case...here was a woman who was working to defend our country, but when she crossed the people in power, when she exposed lies or problems, she was attacked.

...so, with Bush, politics triumphs national security every time, it seems...

... then, as has also been demonstrated this week concerning the Clarke testimony and book release, Bush and his gang are unwilling to admit that the reasons for the war in Iraq were lies,

which again calls into question issues of national security, since Bush is also willing to send American soldiers to their deaths because his political hide is more important than a soldier's flesh and blood.

And although she hasn't gotten the press that Clarke has received, Karen Kwiatkowski's articles about the problems in the Pentagon before the Iraqi invasion..the lies, the unlimited access Israeli Generals had to the highest levels of power...they didn't even have to sign in (the better to hide they were ever there), neocons who accused Zinni of being a traitor because he argued against their imperial invasion dreams...

How can ANYONE think this gang has the right strategy to fight terrorism, much less protect the Constitution?
