Three Stories You Won't Read Here - Blog Day Afternoon Posted by Jeff (Monday April 05 2004 @ 12:55PM EDT)

Three Stories You Won't Read Here British and Canadian papers are trumpeting stories that the mainstream American press isn't touching -- at least not yet. Ex-FBI worker challenges 9/11 lie Tim Harper writes in the Toronto Sun that Sibel Edmonds, "who was hired as a translator by the FBI nine days after the attacks, told the investigative panel she has seen and handled intelligence documents and cables that show Rice, the national security adviser, is wrong when she says there was no advance warning of air attacks on U.S. soil." Bush and Blair made secret pact for Iraq war David Rose of the Observer writes: "President George Bush first asked Tony Blair to support the removal of Saddam Hussein from power at a private White House dinner nine days after the terror attacks of 11 September, 2001." Bush's administration is worse than Nixon's, says Watergate aide Julian Coman of the Telegraph writes: "John Dean, Richard Nixon's legal counsel who was jailed for his part in the Watergate scandal, has accused the Bush administration of trumping even the Nixon regime in secrecy, deception and political cynicism."

1. Reported by CBS. Edmunds worked for a beaurocrat who in order to justify workload and budget, routinely erased translations. Some of those translations were later found to be interesting by a Government panel but not foretelling in any way, shape, or form, to the 911 disaster. Her biggest advocate is Senator Grassley, Republican from Iowa. She will probably be re-instated. 2. Is being reported. Of course he did. It was even President's Bubba's policy that there be regime change in Baghdad. 3. John Dean is getting more American coverage than he deserves. In fact, he will be on tonight's Hannity and Colmes. He is a weasel who is looking to sell a book. A confirmed partisan, he turned in the early 80's. Another bookseller.....surprise, surprise, surprise.

By Cher (Tuesday April 06 2004 @ 05:37PM EDT) As long as we are talking about books that exploit America's tragedy, don't forget Frist hawked his in March 2002: When Every Moment Counts: What You Need to Know About Bioterrorism from the Senate's Only Doctor by Bill Frist Damn partisans.

By Anonymous (Tuesday April 06 2004 @ 04:58PM EDT) Bill Clinton had a secret pact with Tony Blair to topple Saddam Hussein prior to 9-11? Interesting. [ reply | parent ]

By Jeff (Tuesday April 06 2004 @ 05:40PM EDT) This was submitted via email. It may now be a couple days old. I have since caught a waft of all these stories in the liberal media. But it's not fair to say that any have legs. I'll say one thing, John Dean makes a case that we're in the death throes of democracy. Hopefully he's just another reactionary Republican.

By Will is Right (Tuesday April 06 2004 @ 05:45PM EDT) Dean's a Republican. Good One! [ reply | parent ]

By Jeff (Tuesday April 06 2004 @ 10:41PM EDT) John Dean, not Howard. [ reply | parent ]

I was referring to John Dean.

By Cher (Wednesday April 07 2004 @ 10:18AM EDT) John Dean, a former counsel to Richard M. Nixon [ reply | parent ]

By Jeff (Wednesday April 07 2004 @ 11:43AM EDT) I think Will's trying to say that John Dean has seen the light, that he's a disaffected Republican, that he is no longer a member of the dark side. Or maybe Will buys into the claim that Dean was Deep Throat, in which case he was never a Republican at all. In any case, defenses of the Bush administration rarely rely on facts, but ad hominem attacks: "You can't trust him, because..." [ reply | parent ]

By Will is Right (Wednesday April 07 2004 @ 06:45PM EDT) Slate. That's funny. Why not just refer to an Al Jazeera article. I don't know if Dean was "Deep Throat" or not. I don't really care. He hates conservatives, period. Or as Shaquille O'Neill once said, "Period......P..E..R..I..D". Gotta love that LSU Education. And "Dark Side" is subjective. [ reply | parent ]

By The Pragmatist (Wednesday April 07 2004 @ 08:27PM EDT) Will -- Can you give us an acceptable list of news sources that you find acceptable? I'll probably not be able adhere to it, but it would be good to know. [ reply | parent ]

By Jeff (Wednesday April 07 2004 @ 09:02PM EDT) > And "Dark Side" is subjective. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time Will got something right! My comment was subjective. Sensible people understand where I'm coming from, the Dark Side?--not so much. BTW Will, writing "Fox News" ten times don't count as a list... [ reply | parent ]

By Will is Right (Wednesday April 07 2004 @ 09:29PM EDT) Will is always right! Don't you hate it when people refer to themselves in the 1st person? Acceptable News Sources: Blog Day Afternoon The National Enquirer Al Ahram Slate.com Beeld The Marxist Bulletin Musings of the Congressional Black Caucus Nation of Islam/NOI.org Berkeley News NPR And Sports Illustrated [ reply | parent ]
