Now who would like to see Fitgerald subpoena Sen. Roberts to testify

[blm]

about how he came to his conclusions in the Senate Intel Committee Report on Iraq Intel?

UNDER OATH.

And how Roberts and just TWO other Senators, Hatch and Blount, decided to add a section to the report that concluded Joe Wilson lied in his op ed piece.

UNDER OATH.

Thankyou RawStory.

Senate Intelligence chairman quietly 'fixed' intelligence, and diverted blame from White House over Iraq

Larisa Alexandrovna

Shortly after the 9/11 attacks, President George W. Bush issued an order to the Central Intelligence Agency, Department of Defense, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the State Department, and his cabinet members that severely curtailed intelligence oversight by restricting classified information to just eight members of Congress.

?The only Members of Congress whom you or your expressly designated officers may brief regarding classified or sensitive law enforcement information,? he writes, ?are the Speaker of the House, the House Minority Leader, the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders, and the Chairs and Ranking Members of the Intelligence Committees in the House and Senate.?

-snip-
But what was said to be an effort to protect the United States became a tool by which the Republican chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee Pat Roberts (R-KS) ensured there was no serious investigation into how the administration fixed the intelligence that took the United States to war in Iraq or the fabricated documents used as evidence to do so.

Coupled with limited access to intelligence documents, RAW STORY has found that Roberts and a handful of other strategically-placed Washington players stymied all questions into pre-war intelligence on Iraq and post-invasion cover-ups, including the outing of a CIA covert agent, by using targeted leaks and artfully deflecting blame from the White House.

1. I've got both hands raised but am only able to muster the strength

to lift ONE finger on each hand for roberts, ifyouknowwhatimean.

:evilgrin:

[blm]

8. No. I need specifics.

;)))))))))

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. *lol*

[catmandu57]

2. By all means

I'd love to hear it.

[TayTay]

3. Kick

This is a great story that should be passed around, ah, liberally.

[blm]

9. Absolutely. Send it to every news outlet you can, local and national.

.

[dchill]

4. Roberts, Hatch and Blount...

and anyone else - Republican OR Democrat - who knowingly perpetrated this CONSPIRACY should be prosecuted and jailed. This of course includes Bush, Cheney, Rove, Libby...


edit punct.

[blm]

7. Those three were the ones involved specifically in the Wilson lie....

they obviously put it in the report for Rove, and matched all the GOP talking points now used to defend Rove and attack Wilson.

[Old and In the Way]

11. The Republican Party today is one big criminal conspiracy.

And their corporate media organs are the unindicted co-conspirators.

[blm]

16. That's why DNC should focus on exposing the media's cozy relationship with

BushInc and the GOP.

[dchill]

18. You are SO right...

The media is at least as much to blame as the corrupt Repubs. They've known all along what they were doing.

"You would have to be blind not to see what Bush was doing." - Andrea Mitchell, on the use of false intel in the lie-up to the Iraq invasion.

[blm]

20. So Andrea decided not to report it for that part of her audience that

really is blind?

[NewJeffCT]

5. oh my

I smell a rat... recommended for the greatest page.

[blm]

27. This is a Sumatran rat monkey by now.

[converted_democrat]

6. Me, I'd LOVE to see it!!! n/t

[myrna minx]

10. oooohhh. I'd love to hear what this traitor has to say.

Thank you Larisa. :patriot:

[Burried News]

13. Oh yea. And I'd pay a thousand dollars to be the one to serve

the supoena.

[blm]

25. Auction it off at eBay....but, I'd bet Michael Moore would put up the

winning bid. Heheh...or Teresa.

[Mutley]

14. That would be quite nice.

But he's lied under oath before, I'm sure he'd do it again.

[blm]

15. True. But could all 3 keep the story straight AND show their evidence?

.

[Mutley]

19. Probably not.

We could only hope that they couldn't. But, I don't put anything past this misadministration.

[blm]

30. True, but it appears Fitzgerald has them tied in a few knots.

If he can do it to Rove and Libby he can surely do it to their lackey, Roberts.

[dchill]

17. "What's the Matter with Kansas?"

Pat Roberts, evidently.

[LeftNYC]

21. Brownback aint pretty either...nt

[blm]

22. I doubt even Brownback would sink to the no-ethics-at-all level of Roberts

.

[LeftNYC]

23. read "Whats the matter with Kansas?"...you might think differently nt

[blm]

24. I agree he sinks pretty damn low, but Roberts is off the scale...a subzero

ethics rating.

I really believe Roberts was only planted in the Senate to cover up for BushInc.

[blm]

26. What ISN'T the matter with Kansas misght be apropos.

.

[Gelliebeans]

28. oo... oo... oo... me... .me...

I want to see him subpoena Pat Roberts. He is a little sneaky deceptive bastard.

[blm]

29. Roberts' evilness is the most under-reported story of the Senate.

And the way he used an official Senate Intel report document to LIE FOR KARL ROVE and plant antiWilson talking points that we now know are certainly false, is a criminal act in itself and he should be recalled.

[Gelliebeans]

33. I have been bombarding

Feinstein with email and letters warning her not to sidle up to that bastard, I know she might not listen, but since she is my senator I feel that I should bug her anyway. You are absolutely right he has been underrated and UNDER-REPORTED.

[Supersedeas]

31. Those TWO questions would definitely tie up some loose ends!!!

[blm]

32. Only if Fitzgerald gets to ask them - the media hasn't even noticed

that these questions exist.
