17. I've thought about this, Doc, and I think there is a reason why Kerry is
urging through behind the scenes more than in front of cameras, and why he probably wishes that other senators would take up the slack....

No secret that many in the intel community lined up behind Kerry last year. They really expected him to take office (they should've spent time exposing the voting machines). They assumed all of the important info would come out after Kerry took office, because they knew he tried to get plenty reBCCI declassified for public consumption and was fought bitterly. But, they know his track record is to get as much out as possible to the public.

After the election, Bush had Goss purge those agents suspected of supporting Kerry.

In January, Kerry went to England to meet with his counterparts and allies there to discuss a stronger opposition front. I think they came up with a roundabout way to get the info out.....leak the DSM and other memos to one credible journalist.

The memos were given to the reporter in lat April, published in early May. Kerry waits for press to take them up....and waits...and waits....and then finally insults the media into looking more closely at the minutes.

Yes, he's done more than any other senator, but, I don't think he wants to be the one out in the front banging the drums, because I think he was part of the original decision in England to leak the memos.

I don't believe in coincidences or that everything is happening in a vacuum. I think the intel plan to defeat the BFEE is still operating and that key players aren't always going to be the ones in front of the cameras.
