The problem? They made no such remarks at the time

The problem? They made no such remarks at the time, and inserted them only after the debate had

concluded. Moreover, they insinuate in their brief that the comments must have been live, as there is

no indication to the contrary in the Congressional Record. And if that’s not enough deceit for you,

then take this from Emily Bazelon:

The colloquy is even scripted to sound live. “Mr. President, I see that we are nearing the end of our

allotted time,” Kyl says at one point. At another, Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., appears to interject a

question. “If I might interrupt,” he begins.
I called Brownback’s office to ask if he’d given this testimony live on the Senate floor. “Yes, it

was live,” an aide told me. I said that I’d been told otherwise by Senate staffers and mentioned the

C-SPAN tape. “Let me call you back,” the aide said. She never did. Nor did Kyl or Graham’s press

reps.

Would you buy a used car from these people? How about entrust them with your liberty and security?

Her story, Why We Fight, neoconservatism, OSP, Luti calling Zinni a traitor, Franklin, Ledeen, David

Shenker, WINEP, PNAC, Shultz’s memo to Rumsfeld in Summer 2002, how she regrets that it never occured

to her to do a Dan Ellsberg and steal documents, Soldier for the Truth David Hackworth (RIP) and his

publishing of her anonymous essays from the Pentagon, Ahmad Chalabi and his handler Col. Bruner,

Curveball, Michael Mackovsky, permanent bases in Iraq and America’s military “footprint,” the

warfare economy, her sunny optimism and more…
