How the military analyst program controlled news coverage: in the Pentagon's own words

"We develop a core group from within our media analyst list of those that we can count on to carry our water. They become the key go to guys for the networks and it begins to weed out the less reliably friendly analysts by the networks themselves."
Glenn Greenwald

    All I need to know about Harry Reid

    @the FDL Salon, HR was asked:

    Why did you not honor Sen. Dodd’s hold on the SSCI version of the FISA bill?

    His response:

    In response to CTuttle @ 9

    There is a general misunderstanding of holds in the Senate. Holds are temporary not permanent. Senator Dodd and I worked together on FISA. Senator Dodd and I voted together on FISA. Senator Dodd and I will continue to work together against immunity for the phone companies and for Bush and Cheney.
