&lt;p&gt;Sounds like it’s time for AGAG to get to the Steve Martin defense: “Oh, you mean &lt;em&gt;these &lt;/em&gt;documents? Well, it’s quite simple, really: &lt;b&gt;I Forgot&lt;/b&gt;!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hard to say who is going to be angrier about this one — Leahy, Conyers, or Rove. Different reasons, but lots of anger to go around.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sounds like he was setting the kids up to take the blame. The Waas article says that an initial draft did not even require them to get his approval for hiring and firing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i’ll say that rep. conyers will&lt;br /&gt;
be the most-biting — and &lt;a href=&quot;http://indictdickcheney.blogspot.com/2007/04/live-video-link-for-rep-conyers.html&quot;&gt;he has&lt;br /&gt;
a 10 am hearing on this topic&lt;br /&gt;
already scheduled for this morning&lt;/a&gt;. . .&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i mean he SUBPOENAED these docs. . . wtf?!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;light ‘em up!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Okay, let me trot out my retail trophies for you all:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(snip)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I ordered those pants a month ago and they came and they were an inch too small in the waist.  I sent them back and decided to wait a month and see if I still wanted them.  I discovered that, yes, in fact, I still want them.  So, now they’re on their way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;****&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’d have dieted myself silly trying to lose that inch to make them fit just so I wouldn’t have to deal with returns. I must have been trapped in a shipping crate in my last life…&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;P’dragon, one of the worst things to me about the whole thing is perception…I started t write out a post about the nexus of Gladio&amp;Condor&amp;Lemnitzer and friends in the US, and I stopped…thinking, if I write this, people will think I’m some tinfoil-hat crazoid. When people are afraid to speak the truth-but credibility is important.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aha,  you see the problem!8} (I ducked out a while to let some weather pass through without frying my little ‘puter.) I try to think of it simply as what the 16th century would have been like with jets and telecommunications. That helps me keep from getting too ga-ga.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This was the boy’s last letter to Cassie the day they fired him.  Except that he did not realize Cassie was in on the decision.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cassie, I hope you are happy, I have decided to quit the site, and I told Brendon to remove my account and delete my posts. It will sure make everyone happy including me, and i will no longer have to deal with you immature folks anymore.&lt;br /&gt;
Good luck with the site bitches, you’re gonna need it with your shitty writing, only ava can save you, but she already has her own site and has no interest in actually helping you out, just using you to spread her exploitation of the troops. when time and time again she makes the issue about herself and not about what she’s fightin for. ie interviews.&lt;br /&gt;
and if things go bad for you at YTL cassie (which im sure they will with you and brendon), feel free to head on over to my new site! and ill find a better name for my own communtiy. A few last word for you, brendon is an asshole, and he drove us apart, you’ll get nowhere with him, and you will become his bitch!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wow, do you have her or his permission to publish this letter?  This strikes me as an invasion of the privacy of all the young people involved, and entirely unrelated to FDL.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;imho.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-662049&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sandra Warmouth @ 436&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’m a homeschool mom from the Pacific Northwest.I have spent the past 18 years volunteering for community projects. I realized that no project was more important to our community than ending this insane war.&lt;br /&gt;
My husband is a Vietnam veteran and I’m a Vietnam protester.&lt;br /&gt;
 I got a permit from our small town to hold a ” No More War” rally in a beautiful, fragile park in our town. This park is a historic memorial built to honor the local soldiers who died in foreign wars.&lt;br /&gt;
 I signed the permit as a private citizen.And our city officials,feeling the need to honor the First Amendment, granted me permission.No organization watching my back, no “we” in this event planning.My husband is more cautious and we had heated discussions about being so “out there” and exposed. In the end our passion for America and her glorious Constitution won out.Our belief that we do not own our world,we are only borrowing it from our children and their children led us to the courage to resist this regime actively.&lt;br /&gt;
 A transformation has happened by our taking an overt action to help America regain her balance. Young people are excited to talk about the recruiters in their high school. Musicians are planning songs knowing I’ve got mediocre sound equipment. Poets are finding a reason to speak. I am overwhelmed at the outpouring of energy just waiting for an outlet.&lt;br /&gt;
 I would never have felt comfortable to take such a bold action as a private citizen if the private citizens who educate and consolidate a large group of Americans hadn’t taken bigger risks of exposure before me. Thank you, Firedoglake and all your wonderful contacts. May you truly feel the love!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Made my day just reading this. Thanks so much for sharing and please come back with more.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                213              &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;completely OT, but I just saw a Raw Story headline that USNews headline is “Bloggers salivate over DC Madam.”  We should absolutely ignore it.  Who gives a shit really.  I didn’t give a shit about Clinton’s BJs and I don’t give a shit about the DC Madam’s customer list.  If someone else wants to get all judgmental about basic biology, that is on them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wasn’t aware that Clinton was all hystrionic about what a great morality figure he was…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;…and is there any evidence that Monica was paid for having sex with Clinton? That she received a better job for it (maybe those cons should have waited a few years)? Or that anyone other than the Republicans tried to blackmail Clinton or extort legislation/political actions from him (”Wag The Dog”) for these acts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dusty Foggo, the guy who ran the CIA’s vast purchasing agency was given his whores by a LOBBYIST as a “gift” for his “service” to the &lt;strike&gt; country &lt;/strike&gt; lobbyist and his client organizations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How many of these thousands used public money, gave political favors, were blackmailed, took lobbyist money to pay for this, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If they did it on their own dime… and were not some moralistic b*tt-cr*ck who droned about Howard Stern, or “the blogs”, or college radio making ribald comments, or insisted that they neede to oust the Democrats to bring “dignity back to government”, or “kids should remain abstinent and wait ’til marriage to have sex”, or “marriage should be between a man and a woman, andsex within the confines of mariiage”, etc. then I say let the law handle it. But prostitution is illegal and that might, just might, indicate that the individuals have a low regard for the law and their responsibility to it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don’t know of too many legal prostitution advocates in Washington, except perhaps the Congressional delegation from the State of Nevada.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like you, I’m not interested in those sorts of things. Maybe their wives would be, but I’m not. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s where their activity influences and interferes with their working in the public interest that concerns me!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And there is a lot here that concerns me!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
