While politicization of the military IS a big deal, the conclusion from every letter sent still seems to have been-CAN'T PROVE it. And while I applaud Glenns' efforts to utilize and call on as much expertise in the area of tracing emails-thus far it has still come to the same conclusion. So the story is CT and as not yet fact or reality-based in what Glenn suspects to be the truth, and I agree with him.

I have forwarded the first story to Sen Leahy-other commenters have done the same. Perhaps passing it on to others who CAN get to the truth is the best and only option available for now. This daily drip of "yes you did-no I didn't", without much further information is wearing on me, since so little fact is coming out of it as the story rages on.

He's like a dog barking at the moon-WAR,WAR,WAR.

Nothing but a cheerleader for.

"The only options....are to bomb Iran"...

we've been here before haven't we?-and it's gotten old-especially when he's been wrong time after time.

OR we could actually TALK to Iran and have a system that enables Russia to monitor thier nuclear program-which, btw they say is for energy use. Funny how Cheney and the neos fail to make that distinction.

Read yeterday india is getting nukes as well as Egypt. So why single out Iran?

OIL? Ya reckon? Just happens to stand between Iraq and the Caspian oil-rich basin.hmmmm.....

I'm still convinced this is the reason and all points point to this being the reason. Energy meetings? 80/20 oil-sharing deals between oil companies. Published articles in the Moscow Times from July of 2001 announcing an oil deal with Turkmenistan-showing 2 pipelines-one going through Iran (which btw have been scrubbed so it cannot be found.

If the reason was honestly for terrorism purposes-Sen Obama pointed out sev. mos. ago that OBL was in Pakistan. It has also come to light since the release of Valerie Plames' book that Pakistan was being tracked because of rabid renegade nuclear scientist, Dr. Khan-reportedly the Walmart for nukes in the Mideast.Yet Pakistan and Musharef, who pose the bigger threat to this country than Iran, get overlooked-becasue of the media propaganda being used for perpetual war(on Israels' behalf).

Irans' beef with us, especially after we stab them in the back when they helped in Afghanistan, is about Israels' suppression of the Palestinian people. Other countries there also, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt (most all other Arab countries)harbor these same feelings and have expressed this to the WH-who rebuffs them. So GW, rather than engage any peace process-or else nominating neocons like Bolton(a joke of a diplomat)to provide that so-called "diplomacy"-continues to stir the pot in the Mideast (an already unsteady alliance of neighbors). It also bears mentioning that Iran, also extended their cooperation back in 2003 and was rebuffed.So it's very obvious nukes are NOT the reason.People need to realize the charade being played by GW and the neos-like P./Cheney and stop even debating them on their idiotic claims. Until people start bringing up the O-word to neocons in debates-will anything be done to get to some sort of truth.

or any other official title is extremely laughable to me.

With the stories floating around like Lynn Cheney possibly taking a run at the open seat in Wyoming to Laura Bush in Texas-it shows how conservatism is on its' last legs. When the conservatives are getting thier whipping boys and wives in there-it reeks of desperation-especially in the MOST visible light that none of the aforementioned have held any elected political office (and NO-shooter, first wives don't count as elected because they are not on the ticket, Petraeus was appointed also...).

That dog won't hunt anymore.

simply get Congress to pass a resolution or a definition by the Speaker of the House of what the definition of "torture" is-rather than continue on letting Cheney play word-guessing-games about HIS defintion.

It is after all,Congress' responsibility to lay down the code of conduct for the military-WH is just COM in Chief-that doesn't give him authority to overstep what authorities Congress has.

wants to imprison people without going through the US judicial system....Cheney knew that he would put anyone and everyone in jail whom either dissented with the WH over the war or illegally imprisoned people just to have a body-count in prisons to justify the war as well.

At what point is Congress going to realize the gross politicization of our Govt. and the GROSS Hatch Act violations of it, misappropriation of power, deriliction of duty...

Don't get me started on how many crimes this WH should be charged with.............
