Repeat after me, "WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?" The question is
a familiar one and one that is still very applicable. I have seen several threads here this evening that say, in one way or another, if they have nothing to hide then why not testify UNDER OATH?

I think this bears repeating ad nauseum because framing matters. It's a catchy tune, repeat after me, "What are they hiding?" Tell someone you know. Ask someone else. Maybe they will tell two people and it could be a Faberge moment.

What are they hiding?

6. yes, what are they hiding?--AGAIN --just like 9/11 Commission
I still can't believe people didn't bring out the torches and pitchforks way back then, when *Co was so obviously hiding something.
six years later, we're asking it again, WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?

11. What are they hiding? Is that really the question or is it
that they have made spinning and lying such a sport that if they are required under oath to tell the truth that they will end up with the same fate as one Scooter Libby.

There is no way either Meirs or Rove can get in front of a panel to speak. Because every word out of their mouth will be a lie and for every lie there will be another investigation and perjury charges to follow.

Fitzgerald has set the precedent and this administration is afraid to play chicken because they would lose.

17. "If they have nothing to hide, why are they hiding everything?"
Edited on Tue Mar-20-07 10:43 PM by petgoat
Dr. Robert Bowman, Lt. Col. USAF (ret.), veteran of 101 combat missions
in Vietnam, and head of the "Star Wars" program under Ford and Carter
before it was called "Star Wars." Speaking in the context of 9/11 Truth.

He also said "The truth about 9/11 is we don't know the truth about 9/11,
and we should!"

Read Dr. Bowman's 10/03 speech in which he accuses the Bushcists of treason:

It is plain and simple. What other explanation can there be?
