2. What did you think the "Truth Commission" was about?
Its sole purpose is to stall (or hide so deep it will never come out) the truth until most of his cohorts in the Congress who might be implicated are long into retirement.

4. Me too! I expected her to drill him more
She sort of weakly made the point, but she really needed to be more assertive about it imho.

Cuz I for one DO NOT fucking "get it" - this "thing" that Obama and Leahy and Conyers and Pelosi et nauseum keep doing, pretending that we out here are stooooopid and don't know what's going on.

It's infuriating.

To Leahy: NO IMMUNITY - unless, he's being sneaky, and his intent is to just maybe offer immunity to the low-level guys who could testify about the "truth" and point fingers at higher-ups, but who may fear that only the little guys will end up being prosecuted. That's my only "feel good" interpretation of what Leahy is doing.

6. Rest assured ...
the Truthiness Commission won't take that long to find that it was all the fault of some deceased rogue operative linked to USSR al Queda or some equally gullible nonsense.

For those of you old enough to remember the Warren Commission, you know how Leahy et al plan for this to work out. Because they know the American people can't accept the real truth.

7. Typical
Edited on Wed Mar-04-09 10:57 PM by Old Codger
Commissions are like that , that is why they want it to be a commission, spend a lot of money and a lot of time and whitewash all of it and make damn sure they take long enough for statute of limitations to run out... That is politics as usual in washington dc some new names and faces but otherwise business as usual.
