Meanwhile, keep watching for shortage reports, because we should start seeing some sneak in this week, if our doom-o-meter is calibrated correctly.

Fine, then what would be the problem with my suggestion of 3 hard core conservative prosecutors, and three hard core liberal prosecutors?


Personally, I think it would be too narrow. But the idea isn't so much who is on the panel, but what information is provided to the public.

International folks would never be trusted as independent; they are perceived to uniformly have a prejudged position of wanting to convict Bush of something, anything.


That would really set my mind racing as to why.

Top secret plans like, "what do you need to happen in order to start building nukes again?"; or do you mean top secret as in, "If we shut down oil from Iran and Iraq, how long can we keep the US energy requirements filled?"


Exactly.

It has everything to do with who is on the panel, and the media format of the information. The quantity of information is not particularly important; I tend to think an initial report with unanimous support, followed by a later historical archive transcript would be best able to arrive at FACT. But I'd entertain other ideas. But if you want to keep 30 million people off the CT rolls you're going to need three hard core partisans from both sides of that spectrum; all signing off on the report. Add some so-called unaligned folks if you wish.

Racing is not necessary. Answer is simple. He told them to go *** themselves. Tends to make people a bit testy. Do it often enough and they'll want your head. And he's about to do it again.

Absolutely, he tried to put Kissinger on the first panel. Then did with that guy Zelikow. If I’m on trial, I hope I can pick my friends too. But you won't even get a trial way things are headed!

See this is what I don’t get. Your countrymen are being killed, and about to be killed more (Iran will Fark about with Iraq) cos this guy likes bravado.

No. We're about to do it in order to drive up oil prices and to prevent Iran from becoming a major power. The bravado is a distraction, its what will tick off the rest of the world; it'll be what they'll go on and on about, Bush the Cowboy, Bush the Moron, etc. etc. Will they follow the connection that high oil prices may be hard on the economy, but are absolutely golden to everyone that Bush is friends with? Will they notice when China doesn't do anything but complain, and then has "peacekeepers" available to be deployed in Iran? Without Iranian backup, do you think Syria is going to be terribly excited about shipping arms into Iraq or Lebanon?

Look at these questions:
Can the US obliterate Iran's modernity. Yes.
Can the US successfully occupy Iran: No.
Could China successfully occupy Iran: Yes.

Han majority in Persia anyone? 5yinyang
Hmmmmmmmm. That'd just about take care of China's oil needs for a while.

I don't disagree to getting the answers, with proprietary information stripped out. Those companies were told they could speak in confidence; and given the intensity of resistance over disclosure, I think they were entirely frank.

Structurally, I worry that we are removing ways that people can tell officeholders what they think without then having it broadcast in the press. I think that is a bad thing.

I thought I was staying pretty well on topic. 9/11, CT, new investigations..

I don't do "mule" or other amateur things.
I need no gimmicks to write what I think.

Like the Avatar?
I was wondering if folks would consider it subversive if I created a new ID, like... AgentR.
Self flattery, I know. Kinda sad, but funny too.

Just me... better nick, I think.

As to "right and wrong"; who decides if it was right, or was wrong? That is the question. That is always the question. And who chooses these decision makers?

Honestly. Left-right. Liberal-conservative. Democrat-Republican. How pathetic and clueless.

And the stream of non-answers continue.

Who is to be on this commission of the New and Improved Investigation, and who puts them there?

As you wish. Though it still leaves the question unanswered.

Perhaps it is because everyone understands that there is no possible solution to the problem of how to create an investigative body that would not be seen by some large portion of the population as an attempted cover-up.

Who are they going to be? If you think its possible, but just don't know what it might be, (just as I don't), thats ok.
