1. We write....and ask if these hearings will be broacasted and
say that they should...cause we want to see them.

Suggest Events: Submit a public event that you think C-SPAN should cover - [email protected]

5. Thanks for the link.
I e-mailed them. I also called the programming number: (765) 464-3080 and left a message requesting it to be shown.

2. I would expect them to show it repeatedly
they tend to pick up on the more dramatic bits.

For example the dramatic Senate committee meeting about Bolton got played a number of times.

Here's their contact page to help push the process along:

What else can we do? If millions of Americans could see what many of us saw on the internet, public opinion will be changed.

Here's the programming telephone number: (765) 464-3080 .

4. I don't know. The BBC supposedly has the whole thing and I'm seeing

other sites listed here which give more of the testimony.

It's amazing isn't it, David, that C-Span could show David Griffin talking about "planted bombs in the WTC/9/11" and yet fail us on this very important testimony today with George Galloway.

DU'ers called and were told C-Span wasn't taping.... Very odd indeed.

BBC has a sight that I'm downloading for the full tesitimony...it's a long download but I'm hoping. Bringing pressure to C-Span is a good thing, though.

:-)'s to you.

6. KoKo, it is truly amazing.
Here's a number where you can leave a voice message. (765) 464-3080 .

I don't know what else we can do, but this was the single most riveting televised truth-telling I've seen on television since the 2000 election.

I didn't know that DU'ers were told that CSPAN wasn't taping, but they can play it from the BBC tapes...if they are allowed to.

Grrrrrrrr.

We live in a nation that only Kafka could have seen.

Good to hear from you. :)

7. Indeed....Kafka's image of that cockroach on his back was that he was
morphed into still haunts my nightmares. Back to the mattress he lay with feet in the air...in a prison of his own.

A cockroach....and where I live in the SouthEast US...we all are very familiar with them. A Giant Cockroach...turned on it's back unable to turn over...that's the problem with roaches...they have a hard time "righting themselves to the left with their feelers waving in the air." :D (you will get this).

12. Here's BBC Link I used for the whole thing...and I'm on "dial Up."
There's alot of bloviating from Coleman at the beginning but from then on it's a fantastic listen.

Go to the "Video Link" to the right on this BBC link...for you fast connecters it should be quick..."Dial up" might take about 20 minutes in the "background.

Good Luck...It's well worth the listen to the whole thing including Dem Senator Levin's grilling at the end of it before they adjourned.
