#1 Who do the Dems think they would appeal to with an attack like this? As far as I can see it, they'd be playing to the "Bush let it happen" crowd.

Can they be that irresponsible? Can they be that power-mad?

#2 think about this: If Fox News didn't exist, would this memo ever see the light of day?

That's a rhetorical question, right? If not, the answer is yes, absolutely they are.

The memo points out another fact, however. The Democrats are bone-dry when it comes to any kind of positive reason to vote for them.

Every Republican since Nixon now needs to be scandalized. Prior to Nixon every Republican needed to be compared with Herbert Hoover. (Hell they even brought out the 'Worst economy since Herbert Hoover' rhetoric this year; what with the quality of America's public school education, I'm guessing they weren't trying to appeal to anyone under 40 with that one. But I digress...)

#5 Frank! I was sitting on this until the morning. I think the Dems have subverted the security of the country for their quest for power. This committee was supposed to look at how to PREVENT another 9/11 but instead they are hell bent on pinning this on President Bush. Of course they want to be first (and loudest) to accuse. That way the truth will sound weak. Who is on the Intel committee? This HAS to be one of the big ones, none of the other have the cajones to write this. Look for a fall guy/gal for this.

#9 It will be interesting to see how much media atttention this gets; particularly in comparision with the Wilson/Plame affair. This is, apparently, a serious discussion of an intentional plan to leak intelligence information with all of the people involved clearly knowing that they are dealing with classified material.

Want to bet that the major media don't just ignore it?
