Could Russell Tice be a trap?
Could he be exaggerating claims of spying so us on the left would look like fools when evidence comes out that he overstated the spying? Just like the Dan Rather/Bush Guard story, the "Letters" were reported fake by some righties and the media ate it up and the rest of the Bush military record was given a pass.

Just don't want to get dupe again.

5. I was thinking the same thing when Seymour Hersch said his phone would ring off the hook when
Bush left office.

9. Tice has probably been vetted as much as possible.
There are people out there that want to bring KO down and they would do anything it takes. Liddy has done dirty tricks before and his reputation and Limpballs reputation is on the line. These lying fucks have money and they will spend it to hurt people they do not agree with. They obviously have no ethics or morals.

12. I'm not suprised or in disbelief

I just worry that someone might prove Tice .001 percent in error and by right wing standards that disproves everything else about him and what he says.

14. I can see what you're concern is but I think this will stick regardless of

what they could smear him with. Remember that wmd inspector (can't remember the name, sorry) he was one of the first to claim bush's wmd allegations as false.

The media went gaga over something illicit he did later on to try to discredit him and his claims but the facts stuck.


And now the truthiness hypocrites are out of power. !!!:-)

13. It could be
best to keep the powder dry until enough of these come out of the woodwork to build solid cases. Cannot afford to take an early hit on credibility.
