5. One common element is Valerie Plame and Turkish and Israeli lobbyists...
Edited on Fri May-30-08 10:01 AM by calipendence
With McClellan's book, the center point of his criticism is going back to the Valerie Plame verdict, and the coverup surrounding that. With what Sibel Edmonds knows about both Turkish and Israeli elements of corruption that has influenced our government and the lead up to the Iraq War and how increasingly it is being shown that Plame's Brewster Jennings was involved with that as well, it is interesting to see what is in common here as well.

Wexler has been an advocate for many Turkish constituencies, and perhaps will be shown to have had some influences from the ATC Turkish lobbyists too at some point. My personal belief is that he probably knows a lot more about this than he'd like, and realizes that America shouldn't be confused on which side of the fence he sits on with regard to what's been going on and not get sucked into what will likely later be seen as a boiling pot of oil on this. By heavily working on impeachment, he can point out how he's not part of that crowd, even though circumstantially he might appear to be later.

Waxman on the other hand, has been an early on advocate of trying to get Sibel Edmonds hear by the Government Oversight Committee before the Dems took power in 2006, but now appears to be a big obstacle to this happening. AIPAC?

I'm hoping that lukery gets back from his hiatus soon and we pick up the steam again to refuel efforts to get Edmonds to testify on the hill.
