[...] Special Interests. (!) Several on-line sources are picking up on this, campskunk at DailyKos and SusanUnPC at NoQuarter among them. For the best background to the importance of unions to the United States as we know it [...]

The American middle class is under attack and we need a populist fighter like John Edwards. In my view, Edwards is not the only the most electable Democratic contender but also the best choice.

I hope he is given immunity to the degree he was following a “lawful” order. From what I have seen if you give someone limited immunity you get a limited version of the “truth”.

Look past him, higher.

Pas de cider? eh? Even Vader answers to a dark lord. Cheney has never been a “prime” number…Bush never. When Bush Sr was passed up and ‘given’ the CIA(?)…it showed the same thing. I need to find where I stashed my tinfoil hat now…right next to the duck tape i think…
I wonder how people stop from going crazy in this line of work. I think it would hard not go Bolton bonkers…

Best wish to you and yours. Thanks for forensics lessons.

People working outside of the IC were shaping the actual policy commands at higher levelsm this carried over into actionable areas of the IC.

The IC itself was getting gag orders on the work it could do or having programs rolled back(Clarke’s demotion, Bin Laden unit’s shelving, Alec Station deprioritized, etc.)

The people working in concert to shape this policy were working with vested lobby interests for parties poised to benefit the most from our subsequent actions in Persia, or even some with suspected ties to the problem.

Cofer profited the most, getting Blackwater deals from the State Department.

He’s an ace in the hole on the three card monty that has been made into high stakes profiteering.

Those official operations were ones Edmonds had items to interpret, and she was getting stonewalled within the IC by appointed people tracing back to the lobby interests with Hastert, etc.

The third parties had undue influence to shaping policy, and after 9-11 were integrated within the subcontract structure to greater degrees. Interests between these and the donor/appointment cartel of Bush were impediments to effective interception of the threat we have made wars over.

The torture tapes were not destoryed entirely. Record of them remains in court transactions. Spooks got more on it as well.

Not just tapes past 9-11. Some include prior information, things that set people’s hair on fire were being ignored and shut down within the walls of the IC under direction of people the Shrub set into place.

Jawbreaker wanted an airstrike at Tora Bora, just one example. One guy is above him in his specialty field, Cofer should have to answer up as to why there was a tactical and strategic breakdown when the noose was being applied.

Rod isn’t the one, he’s just a scapegoat if he’s given immunity. Look past him, higher. He didn’t do any action that wasn’t a result of being directed to do so. Even if he made the call to loosen the noose, there was a reason coming from a direct superior.

Oh gosh, I missed that, Teakwoodkite. Not to worry. Now I’m curious, though, and will have to check it out

Hope you’re having fun and eating lots. I’m nibbling before my guests come over … this is going to turn into a 5,000-calorie day, I fear.

Here's a superbly referenced, pithy diary on Obama's turn to the right, and what Paul Krugman termed in his NYT blog, "Obama goes Harry and Louise": "after attacking unions as special interests, now Obama is going after universal health care with his advertisements in Iowa. ..." "Obama goes Harry and Louise"; Call it the audacity of cynicism

TeakWood- I don’t think you’re in any way responsible for that other commenter’s bad behavior. So rest easy.

SusanunPC:
I would like to apologize to you and all the other women (and men) that post here, that my attempt at sarcastic humor attracted comments from such a sorry excuse for a human being on the previous thread.
I will in the future try not to use shark bait.

And Obama mentioned Arnold by name the other day, saying he’d welcome such Republicans for cabinet posts in his administration.

Speaking of GOP talking points, didn’t Swartznager in a CA special election talk about ’special interests’ — meaning school teacher, nurses, etc?
