    What makes you guys think you've found a breaktrhough?

    This stuff was put on the air by Fox News almost immediately after 9/11 and then quickly yanked back down for "some unexplained reason." But not before being captured by independents:

    The only difference is that Israel is not mentioned in Tim's report. Neither are the telecoms "Amdocs" nor "Comverse-Infosys" (now "Virent"). Comverse-Infosys was facilitating -- in Israel (safely offshored from the long arms of Congress) -- a joint task force of Mossad and CIA SIGINT experts who warned the Bush Administration about the 9/11 terror operation that was coming.

    Despite the importance of the American people becoming informed about the real meaning of FISA protections from retroaction for the 25-some-odd telecoms involved and listed in a classified document attached to the bill informally, what I would like to know is why, Tim, you didn't mention Israel and it's principals in this supposed "opening night at the NSA Ballet"? Where have you been or is this something that you and Salon have concocted?

    Surely you are not so mainstream now that you think this is breaking news? Let's see: it's not Friday so BushCo is not trying to sneak this into the mainstream over a quiet weekend where it belonged all along. Wrong reporter for that kind of shenanigans. What's the REAL story here? Are Bush and Netanyahu fighting again? Is Bebe balking at taking the fall like when he pumped a dull one into the old man (41) over Iran-Contra after being jilted for the Saudis?
