I will attempt to enlist DU troopers for the new 'Bush Truth Squad'
I will contact the leader of the new "Bush truth squad" and ask them to provide us with an email address so that we may send them info that will help them catch Dubya and his minions anytime they spout a bushit lie.

I strongly believe that DU is one of the biggest Think Tanks on web. So...they would be foolish not to enlist our help.

I will get back to everyone regarding this.

tru

BTW: Here's the piece about the new truth Squad:

4. An excellent idea, so long as they've got people to vet our work.
As a collective, we are extraordinarily powerful for this kind of job. But we can also be a bit rough around the edges- not all of us are familiar with the nuances of policy differences and legislative history.

But if they can have a liaison to DU- to sift through and confirm the facts we dig up in realtime, prior to giving them to their spokespeople- that would be the best of both worlds.

5. Perhaps you could cite some examples
of how things were debunked here days and months before others caught on. I'm amazed at how some of those threads develop.

6. keep us informed
trumad, ask them to keep us informed of what they are working on, and their findings. Regarding the latter, it's so that we can get the word out if the media doesn't.
