Guy was from Gaithersburg. Made a lot of the points about the neocons highjacking our government, Wolfowitz, Woolsley, Perle, Abrams, etc. Said Nick Berg was killed inside Abu Gharib prison, cited, the chair, the walls. Pinned it pretty good. Of course Reed had never heard about the theories surrounding Nick Berg. I suggest we e-mail his office with the circumstantial but substantial evidence cited around the boards.
Reed appeared perplexed...doesn't believe in conspiracy theories. He needs to be reminded that most intel is a consipracy theory until proven otherwise. It was a MAJOR conspiracy theory that had us invade Iraq and get into this quagmire. The caller even said that the neocons had hijacked the Congress.. It was great!

8. No, friend, that was not me. I would have said much, much more.
But I am flattered that you think it was me. :hi:

9. It could have been anyone of us
I have gotten in on the c-span lines a few times and all three times they have cut me short.

4. Conspiracy theorists
are laughed at under this administration.The more outrageous the crime the less people will believe it was done on purpose.Oh let's use an example;lets say a certain Middle Eastern country had %75 of it's hijackers crash airplanes into skyscrapers and then 2 days later the man blamed family is airlifted out of the country.Who would believe that?That's their modus operandi make it real blatant and noone will believe it was done on purpose except the tin foil heads.

5. The word is getting around. But is in a position to do anything?
Do you think Reed will follow up and ask staff to research what the caller said? I doubt it. He'd be afraid to discover the real answer. We must pressure Congress to investigate this.

10. What I found after listening to
Randi Rhodes all these years is that there is a lot the congress doesn't know.That's not an insult by any means,the fact is there is only so much they can read.It's up to us to draw their attention to issues we feel they need to know about.Wexler learned much from coming on RR's show and would say"wow I didn't know about that I'll have to look into it".The voting machine lawsuit he brought was thru info Randi passed along.so don't feel dismay-send a link to their offices.

6. I really think this 'Chalabi office invasion' is too divert attention from
the Berg incident since the evidence seems to be mounting that is was a black-bag job by US-or Israeli special ops.

7. I hope the call included more than the chair and the wall subjects
For example, Berg's ties to that shady Iraqi character, his time at OU when he was arrested in spring of 2000, the absurbity of giving away his email (had he ever given it away to anyone else?), his working for the RNC set-up in fall of 2000, his proximity to Abu Ghraib, taking photographs and having the notebook with his notations in it supposedly stolen, etc.

Better to hit them with facts that can be proven, rather than conjecture. And then hit them with questions like, "How do we know Taziz was the last one to speak to him alive"?

(I might have the spelling wrong on that guy's name.)

Just my .02 here.
