2. How about the entire staff of Air America and the other radio

show hosts like Thom Hartman, Ed Schultz. Also I know many will disagree but I give Kitty Kelley a lot of credit. She has to have a big set to write the book she did.

10. Michael Scheuer, formerly known as anonymous.

http://www.bostonphoenix.com/boston/news_features/other_stories/multipage/documents/03949394.asp
Nearly a dozen intelligence-community sources, however, say Anonymous is Michael Scheuer — and that his forced anonymity is both unprecedented and telling in the context of CIA history and modern politics.

CBS story confirms.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/08/10/terror/main635038.shtml
The New York Times reports Michael Scheuer, who recently penned a book critical of the CIA's counterterrorism efforts called "Imperial Hubris," lodged his complaints in a letter to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees.

A 22-year CIA veteran who ran the bin Laden unit from 1996 to 1999, Scheuer also claims that the CIA is rotating inexperienced officers into the bin Laden unit for short stints of 60 to 90 days.

Does W for Wrong even care about Bin Laden anymore (has he heard from us yet, cause he sure was responible in knocking the WTC down which your supporters can't get enough of) ?
