Reply #67: Very courageous of Byrnes to speak out --- I'm sure they all feel threatened . . .

Re the Washington Po article ---

Daschle comments in that one, especially about the the government investigators

not keeping Congress informed. In other information I've read, that's very clear.

In fact, after a request by one of the Senators a way back there's a comment later

that the government decided against having a meeting with Congress.


I think clearly Cheney set out to get Leahy -- on the way to closing down Congress

which was a threat to them immediately after the stolen 2000 election and especially

after they pulled 9/11. I think a lot of that fear was about COMMUNICATIONS FROM

THE PUBLIC COMING INTO CONGRESS . . . and they definitely wanted to stop that.


Even at this late date, mail is still being irradiated and then dried out for a few weeks!

I would imagine that a lot of information and documents disappeared in that close down

of Congress!!
