Four things to mention in any political conversation

[Sliverofhope]

I want to see some high class meme development here. There are four important topics, probably well known to us, that are being ignored.

1. Office of Special Plans

There are others, including several good FBI agents, White House counterterror chiefs, State Department officials, and CIA agents. My memory fades. DUers, a little help here, please...

2. White House Treason -- The Disgraceful Palme Affair

GOPers are especially sensitive to accusations of their basic disloyalty to America, an accusation they prefer to cast rather than become enmeshed in.

4. Good one, BEZARK!

They used CIA agent and NOC operative Valerie Plame to get at her husband, Joseph Wilson. Wilson's crime was to tell the Truth. Plame's anti-WMD network was compromised, affecting national security. The Bush Organized Crime Family and its supporters know no shame.

A hearty welcome to DU, BEZARK!

3. how about the Medicare scandal?

WASHINGTON - Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle said Friday that allegations of unfavorable cost estimates about the Medicare prescription drug bill being withheld from lawmakers justifies reopening the vote on the drug benefit.

The nation's top Medicare analyst confirmed Friday that his former boss, Thomas Scully, ordered him to withhold his estimates because they exceeded what Congress seemed willing to accept by more than $100 billion.

Richard Foster, the chief actuary at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said Friday night that he received a handwritten note from Scully, then the centers' administrator, in early June ordering him to ignore information requests from members of Congress who were drafting the drug bill.
