By tomorrow morning, Drummheller will be cyberlynched...
I have always thought of CIA people as very brave. Even considering what I KNOW about them and their dirty wars here in Latin America and elsewhere, these people are willing to put their collective asses on the line, therefore I don't find it at all hard to understand why CIA agents are the one's giving up the ghost on Bush Administration dirty tricks and lies.
Drumheller is the latest... By tomorrow morning, his relevance will be questioned, as will his patriotism. He will likely be called a political hack, and if he is really unlucky, Michelle Malkin will publish his home phone number on her website.
Some Predictions
Whatever happens, the man is about to catch a WHOLE LOT OF HELL, from the Wingnuts. They will spin this as a non event(Bush may have gotten this report, but it was one of MANY conflicting reports, yada, yada). They will attack the a.) credibility b.) patriotism c.) motivations or d.) all of the above, of Drumheller. It's early yet, and I have not seen any of the usual suspects comment on it. Likely they are all waiting to see what the spin will be. (Although they deny it, you ever notice how when something like this happens, most of the big Righty Tighty Blogs tow the same line?)My conservative readers will post somethign like, "David, I thought you were smarter than this... yada yada." Someone will dig up that Drumheller made a contribution to Kerry or John F. Kennedy or something to that effect, and therefore is a rabbid Democrat. Someone will ask why he never spoke up until now... You got the picture. Lets wait until tomorrow... See how many of my predictions shake out.
Hmmmm, looks like some of my questions have already been answered:
Marshall says:
"Did the Robb-Silverman Commission not hear about what Drumheller had to say? What about the Roberts Committee? He was quite clear. He was interviewed by the Robb-Silverman Commission. Three times apparently... Now, quite a few of us (me included) have been arguing for almost two years now that those reports were fundamentally dishonest in the story they told about why we were so badly misled in the lead up to war. The fact that none of Drumheller's story managed to find its way into those reports, I think, speaks volumes about the agenda that the writers of those reports were pursuing.
"But what it shows even more clearly is that none of this stuff has yet been investigated by anyone whose principal goal is not covering for the White House."
Will the media finally start asking the right questions for a change? Please don't fall for Dan Bartlett's excuses.
Atrios says: "The real point isn't the actual revelation, it's that he's revealed it before to people tasked with investigating this stuff, who promptly filed it in the circular filing cabinet."
FDL is wondering when the swiftboating will begin.
So it looks like the guy DID speak up before, and it was promptly covered up. And I figure the swiftboating will begin by tomorrow morning, when these guys have had time to read their GOP memos and had their morning coffee.
