My e-mail to Matthews (re. having Judith Miller on his program tonight):

WHY DO YOU HAVE TWO HACKS: Blankely (WRITING FOR A MOONY RAG????) and Judith Miller who HELPED BUSH GO TO IRAQ!

Mr. Matthews: If anybody's credibility is on the line IT IS YOURS.
If you want an honest assessment of this situation, two people you would not have there are Blankely who is a right-wing hack who writes for a printed rag owned by Reverend Moon (that says it all)... and Judith Miller! who got her Iraq weapons of mass destruction information directly from CHALABI, then it was bounced by Cheney to justify that the NYT was propounding CREDIBLE information. SHE HAS THE BLOOD OF THOUSANDS OF IRAQIS, over 1000 coalition soldiers, and other future victims of depleted uranium in her hands.

The New York Times is equally guilty for keeping her on its payroll. What she has done is unforgivable.

And you, sir, why would you have her in your show????

2. Well said - I was thinking the same thing!

Judith Miller, Chalabi's buddy and promoter. I can't stand to watch Hardball anymore and I'm going to send an e-mail to ole Tweety too!

3. Are you lisening to her?

She may have credible info but believing her is suspect.

"I have covered it for so long and have seen it first hand"Yes we know Judith.

Can't watch anymore.

4. Tell us about the guy in the baseball cap again, Judith

That one always sends me off to dreamland! You know the one: Judith's handlers whisked her off to someplace in Iraq, she didn't know where. They pulled over, and a man in a baseball cap some yards away was walking back and forth. Every now and then, he'd stop and point at the ground, and then start walking around again.

Judith's handlers told her that the man had been a top scientist in Saddam's regime, and he was pointing out where those dreaded weapons of mass destruction had been stored. Judith reported all of this as straight, unvarnished news from primary sources.

Left unasked were such questions as: Who was the man in the baseball cap? What was he really doing, since we're asked to take someone else's word for his actions? Who corroborated what Judith's handlers told her? And on and on.

Tweety, of course, will remember none of this, though at the time of Judith's reporting, it was hailed as the long-awaited "proof" of Saddam's possession of weapons of mass destruction, and all the justification necessary for the pre-emptive invasion.
