So....nothing today on the Spy in the Pentagon?

[Catherine Vincent]

It was a big story on friday evening.

1. hey . . . if it reflects negatively on BushCo . . .

it's not news . . . just ask CNN, Faux, MSRNC, etc. . .

[ClassWarrior]

3. Sure, just give up. Game over. We lose.

<sarcasm off>

[ClassWarrior]

2. It needs to be ALL OVER the news this week.

We need to call and email the news outlets. Is DU's new National Media Blaster online yet?

[Must_B_Free]

4. Nope, another Anti-Semetic, Liberal Conspiracy theory...

bites the dust...
:shrug:

5. Washinton Monthly "Iran-Contra II" scared the US media - they thought

it was Israeli spy story and would be fun -

but "Iran-Contra II" means to might hurt Bush - so they dropped it!

our - not controlled by the right wing GOP - they just act like it - US Media.

6. It was released Friday to derail the investigation............

I was skeptical when some here thought that it was released to embarrass Shrub. The Friday release (news dump day) caused me to think it was damage control by scrub and I think that turned out to be the case.
See NYT article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/30/politics/30spy.html?hp

This way the investigation is limited and looks like only this low level guy will take the heat, if any.

7. the Friday News Dump (tm)

never fails to bury...

[Bonhomme Richard]

8. That shows that someone allied to shrub..........

did the dumping.

10. Are you sure?

Are you sure that Franklin is a fall guy for some spying and that the cabal leaked the story?

I now tend to believe that it could also be something like Ruppert reported - a coup.

In addition to stopping the neo-cons who seem to have a more private and immediate agenda apart from the agenda of the traditional cabal, this issue will decide where we go on the subject of ruining our country in unlimited support for and criminal alliances with certain ruling parties in Israel. Israel is at the heart and center of everything or everyone that is trying to ruin us.

We are being attacked, not just by the phantomly named Al Queda.

12. memory span is only about 2 days down there....

anyway, that story probably went down the same memory hole as Golan Cipel.

9. THE PENTAGON TREASON SCANDAL

thats my meme;)

[peacetalksforall]

11. Yes, this appears to be treason by more than a little guy about to

retire.

It appears the Pentagon OS, PNAC and the WH are attached at the brain and the billfold with AIPAC, AEI (Lynn Cheney), plus JINSA.

The circle includes US, UK, Israel, Italy, and Iraq, and the players have declared their positions and worked towards this over a 20 year period. And the players pass between jobs and access within the Pentagon, borders, think tanks, meetings, and deals at high levels, why stop at the lower rungs to find someone guilty? Do they think we’re stupid once again?

What is obvious is that the same people who pushed to kill and plunder in Iraq and build military bases, pipelines, with perfect focus on creating safety for Israel and make money simultaneously are the same people who set up the yellowcake (non-) evidence, and are the same people who know about operating aircraft remotely, and who like to make money disappear and reappear.

What is not obvious is the way this circle of humans with all their associated lobbies, think tanks, government positions, and dealers-traders-partners with certain politicians in Israel - impose themselves over, under, or woven through the House of Saud and the Bushes, Carlyle, Bechtel, and retired military.

13. I know the Repuke convention is this week but come on.

The Sandy Berger non-story got more airplay than this.

I listened to WJ on Saturday, nothing. I haven't replayed Sunday's broadcast yet, so we'll see. WJ normally would have callers tell their opinions about a hot topic. I would think a spy in the Pentagon is a very hot topic.

[Catherine Vincent]

15. Okay, I take it back, Wolfie mentioned it today on CNN.

But he didn't really say anything.

14. did you check this out?

see this thread
according to Larry Johnson
http://www.juancole.com /

It appears to be the case that someone in the Pentagon got wind that Larry Franklin had been flipped, and was terrified that the investigation might go on up the ladder at the Pentagon, in AIPAC, and with the Israelis. So they leaked news of the investigation to make sure that everybody clammed up and shredded everything.
