Surprise, surprise - cheney/bush want to know everything about innocent Americans but don't want us to know anything about their corrupt administration.

I'm sure one reporter or another (at a small paper, not the major ones) will forward the info on the cd to the internet soon enough. Unless the pentagon only sends those cd's to fox spews...

Ooohh...There were no WMD's or links to Osama? Really!! what a fantastic new revelation. Plleeze!! Betcha a buck 2 80 the major media hardly says a word about it, but we'll sure be informed about Paris Hilton & whether Hillary said some more bad things about Barack Obama.
Good Gawd!!

Downloaded the report from "Crooks and Liars" last night.

Another odd coincidence that this report and the Fallon resignation came out at the same time as the Spitzer debacle.

Can't have any unpleasant facts showing up just as John NcCain is preparing to carry the torch.

Why stir up the public unnecessarily after all this effort to sedate them?

That hardly matters, as a majority of americans are convinced that saddam was in fact behind 9/11.

The truth is:

Craig Unger wrote a wonderful article in the July 2006 issue of Vanity Fair, "The War They Wanted, The Lies They Needed".........On January 2, 2001, the Nigerian Consulate in Rome was broken into and the following items were missing: An official pen, the official Nigerian Consulate Seal, and stationery with the official seals of Nigeria.
From then on the the story was created and sent through Italian Intelligence Services to British Intelligence services and eventually reached Bush´s State of the Union speech as "Hussein seeking yellow cake.".....All of which was nothing more than a "Black Propoganda" Scheme devised by "Off Book Operations" of the CIA..............

What is the "Truth"........Those in power control the investigations, the reports, the media, and the justice system........

War is peace.
Ignorance is strength.
Freedom is slavery.

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.

McClone will continue the mantra that "if we don't fight them there, we will be fighting them here".

That mantra has become an indisputable fact for so many Americans that theyh will cling to it until their dying day.

One reason for nondisclosure is the statements made under oath that attested to the Saddam-AkQuaida close ties by our leaders.

If the report was 'in public view' even the most average person would be clamoring for justice.

We can't have that, can we?

How better to maintain the pleasant illusion of endless comfort and safety than to stay insulated from truth?

I've forgotten about that, what is JUSTICE ?

The audacity of hope will steamroll over the Innocent Iraq report so that upwardly mobile young americans may spring for european luxury cars with less guilt. Everyone important wins. In capital we trust. God bless the United States of America!

Really? There were no links! Wow, I really feel dumb. Oh well, there is always next time.

They will release it after they have carefully altered a few details. Be patient, we will learn the "truth" soon enough.

Unfortunately this report will be made public after the next schmuck in charge is sworn in. If drastic changes are not instituted within the next year we can all kiss our collective asses goodbye. The current whore in the whore house,I mean white house, has so effectively screwed things up that only a miracle can save us now.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy example of government 'transparency':

"But Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months."

"Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn't exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them, had you? I mean, like actually telling anybody or anything."

"But the plans were on display ..."

"On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them."

"That's the display department."

"With a flashlight."

"Ah, well the lights had probably gone."

"So had the stairs."

"But look, you found the notice didn't you?"

"Yes," said Arthur, "yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."

Thad Stone -- You left out the part of the plans (to demolish Earth) were being on Alpha Centori, and that it was just too bad for the Earthlings who failed to make the short 4.2 light-year trip there. (Regardless of the fact that Earth had yet to invent a inter-galactic star drive, so it would've taken approximately 100,000 years to get there on their own.)

That first step is a duzzie

It is good to see that our government has expedited this report! How efficient!

This is Lucy Van Pelt snatching away the football as Charlie Brown gets to the point of kicking it. The rule of all tyranical governments and their compliant press-propagandists is: "Believe nothing they say and everything they deny."

Maybe this has been discussed in the above comments which I don't have time to read, but there is a question of who is running the country, the Executive or the Military. Shouldn't the Executive be responsible for releasing the report or is the release by the Pentagon meant to divert criticism from the Executive (we can't criticize the military) or does the release by the Pentagon indicate that the current top brass were in line with the Administration from the start and favor supression of any information. Remember, the upper level dissenting Generals and Colonels have either retired or been driven out.

Maybe by releasing only to formal requests they are considering their budget - must be fiscally prudent; gotta build those missles.HAH! That's a joke! Posting on a website is cheaper than providing a multitude of CD's. But by releasing CD's and only accepting comments from those that received the CD's will limit the questions. Traditionally the media, who supposedly would be the ones asking the questions, haven't asked penetrating enough questions. Those tough questions would come from the activists and be harder to answer.

The controlled release is another instance of the oxymoron, "military intelligence". Or is it? It is obvious that the information would be readily available to the public via a reporter that had requested it, and it gives the appearance that they would like it supressed. Consider this; is it possible that the Administration wouldn't release it and the Pentagon ignored the Executive? Could this be the first steps of a military coup? Has it already happened, with no declaration of such, in an effort to keep the population calm?

If this is the case, could it be worse than the status quo? Yes, BUT if those in the coup military commmand are true patriots, and the military IS full of them, they are only doing what they swore to do. The possibility of Bush, Cheney, and their accomplices being under de facto arrest and playing along as part of a temporany plea agreement until after the inauguration of the next president is a stretch, but, this is the United States, and as evidenced by the last seven years, anything is possible.

wait... there was no link?!?

oh, yeah... i forgot the soft-on-corruption republicans were in power.

might be about time we started explaining to the last 30% of americans who still think george bush is some sort of hero how 1.2 million dead people isn't pro-life... how $3billion+ per week in a war with no objective isn't conservative, that torture ISN'T a family value and taking health-care away from OUR children isn't compassionate.

WWJD, indeed.

and let's hope there isn't a John W. McHagee administration in '09.
