1. I hope the media does their job this time
You must admit that CBS is the only network that breaks these stories.

Siebel Edmunds, Abu Garib(sic), etc.

Not all the media are whores

2. Feith
is an undersecretary of Defense, right below Wolfowitz. Big Neo Con,
responsible for the Office of Special Plans, and the "leak" of
"proof" that Saddam worked with Al Quaeda.

he's more than a donor, he's a major vampire.

3. It was the only one of the "big three"
MSRNC and CNN also went with the story last night. This is a HUGE story, folks, and will not stop with a single spy/foreign director of US policy.

The lack of judgment in the Bush gang is astounding.

4. Feith is a real piece of work
Here's some aljazeera stuff about him from earlier this year:

<snip>

But like Cheney, the undersecretary is no stranger to extreme conflicts of interest himself.

Before his political appointment, Feith's own website stated that he “represented a leading Israeli armaments manufacturer in establishing joint ventures with leading US aerospace manufacturers for manufacture and sale of missile systems, to the US Department of Defense and worldwide.”

His own biography says that he specialises in "technology transfer, joint ventures and foreign investment in the defense and aerospace industries."

Feith has also been quoted as saying: "it is in the interest of the US and Israel to remove needless impediments to technological cooperation between them" - an incredible admission for an official in his position.

The Israeli commentator Akiva Eldar even observed in a Haaretz column (26 April 2002) that Feith was "walking a fine line" between his loyalty to American governments and Israeli interests.

"I also noted his close association with the pro-Likud groups, the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) and his law firm's international work promoting the Israeli arms industry," James Zogby said of Feith in May 2001.

5. Apparently it's Larry Franklin
According to War & Piece it's Larry Franklin.

Who? I was hoping for a bigger name like Perle or Feith himself.
