I’m wondering if you folks paid as much attention to the trial of Sandy Berger, national security advisor to Bill Clinton, who was convicted of stealing classified documents, destroying them, and lying to prosecutors about it? Any curiosity about what he destroyed, why, and it whose behest? Of course not . . . As for this trial, it’s kind of the opposite of most trials, where it is usually the defense who try to keep things out and suppress evidence. Here it is Fitz who’s trying to suppress evidence. The last thing Fitz wants is for all the facts to come out.

I don’t think Berger was *hiding* anything and we all knew he worked for the slimer-in-chief Clinton. It was a stupid bizarre case which still doesn’t make sense. Got anything new on explaining it?

It certainly didn’t rise to the level of a conspiracy to forge documents which were used to lie America into war where thousands, nay, tens of thousands have died to satisfy someone’s ego and to allow war profiteering on a scale heretofore unknown.

I too have just heard the name ‘Harlow’. Who the heck is he?

Why is it when I hear new names of underlings that all I can think is ’scapegoat’.

C’mon, focus man!

I’ve heard verying reports as

FYI: varying

Next paragraph after “Good Morning Firedoglake…”
Line 3: “verying” should be “varying” (?)

Middle of 5th paragraph above short break just above 9:44 “with” (?)

My dear, you are absolutely amazing – typing like the wind. Bravo!

Reading this briefing reminds me of reading the British White Paper before Iraq.

There is just nothing of substance in it. I kept waiting as I turned to each slide and asking “where’s the meat”.

And our stupid MSM is playing it up as real stuff.

Here we go again – and the Bushies and neo-cons are saying it will be a cakewalk in Iran because it will all be done by the AF and the Navy and we won’t have to have any ground troops.

Heaven help our country.

Bombing Iran wil be the BEGINNING of a conflict. These idiots that think a massive bombing attack will be the end of it are as deluded as deluded can be.

Woe be to the troops in Southern Iraq when the Shiia explode with rage upon them. In order to save US troops the US will sacrifice the safety of thousands.

More lunacy.

And as long as only Chris Matthews and a few other MSM’ers are asking the relevant questions about the Bush administrations repeated claims about Iran’s “alleged” nuclear weapons program for intstance “where is the hard irrefutable evidence”….the “cakewalk in Iraq” folks continue to push our nation closer to a confrontation with Iran.
