Bayoneting a Scarecrow

The 9/11 conspiracy theories are a coward’s cult.

By George Monbiot

03/02/07 "Guardian" -- -- "You did this hit piece because your corporate masters instructed you to. You are a controlled asset of the New World Order ... bought and paid for."(1) "Everyone has some skeleton in the cupboard. How else would MI5 and the Special Branch recruit agents?"(2) "Shill, traitor, sleeper", "leftwing gatekeeper", "accessory after the fact", "political whore of the biggest conspiracy of them all."

snip..

So go the comments his last piece debunking 9/11 theories received.

Monbiot spends the next paragraph listing only enough of his lefty bona fides to convince those who have been in a hole for 20 years of the absurdity of it all before laying the best smack down I've read on this issue.

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has informed my attorneys that, after two and one-half years, his investigation of the CIA leak case concerning matters directly relating to me has been concluded. That frees me to reveal my role in the federal inquiry that, at the request of Fitzgerald, I have kept secret...

Today Bev Harris' organization BlackBoxVoting.org posted their IRS filing on the non profit's website.

What does it say? Is it complete? Does it explain where she got her million bucks?

Not sure what I'm looking at to be honest so before offering comment I thought I'd post the link to the pdf and let the qualified kossaks weigh in.

I have been critical of Ms. Harris' strategy, behavior, and fundraising tactics.

I have also asked for an accounting of the money Randi Rhodes' listeners, and the progressive community ponied up when she promised to file "the largest fioa request in the nation's history" to audit the 04 election results.

While this form will NOT account for Harris' behavior, or her bombastic, confrontational 'style' which in my opinion has hurt the voting rights community, I am willing to offer her a public apology if this document turns out to bolster her fundraising claims which I have called a less than honest on several occasions.

So here is the link to the PDF

It's Sunday night comment-a-palooza and I've been slacking all day watching the World Cup. It really is shaping up to be the best tournament I've ever watched. From the time zone to the groupings I have watched and enjoyed almost every match.

Anyway on to the comments

As the tags suggest my coverage of the Leopold, TruthOut train wreck has become personal after receiving threats from one Leopold's admitted sockpuppet email addresses.

These threats were followed up by Larisa Alexandrovna editor of Raw Story adding her own brand of insinuation and intimidation right here on kos.

Even though this story is about as over as any credibility the people involved had I am posting the latest obscene violation of journalistic standards to come from the assholes at TruthOut.

Join me on the flip.... Or don't, nothing has really changed. But, a train wreck is a train wreck so let's go...

Yes, it does appear that Truthout was used, but not lied to or misled. The facts appear to have been accurate. We reported them, and in so doing, apparently became an instrument. From all indications, our reports, first on May 13 that Rove had been indicted, and then on June 12 when we published case number "06 cr 128," forced Rove and Luskin back to the table with Fitzgerald, not once but twice. They apparently sought to avoid public disclosure and were prepared to do what they had to do to avoid it.

Did I read that right? TO is responsible for making Rove roll over on Cheney?

This diary here explains this new feature. Also Carnacki is looking for volunteers who would like to do this in rotation. It is not time consuming. Just click on the links and save them in an email or word file as you see them throughout the day.

Today Carnacki had another worthy project for kossaks so I agreed to fill in.

Here are a few of my favorites today, and a couple of worthy comments Carnacki steered me toward.

Please feel free to liberally apply the mojo in this thread to those that are helping to make it a valuable contribution to our community.

For the short term memory challenge like me you'll find your ratings page a good start to find comments that moved, amused, or enlightened you.

WaPo puts the final nail in what was a short and troubling career in Journalism.

This story is almost too much to believe, but as with almost everything about Leopold truth is stranger than fiction. Except the fiction he writes as truth of course.

So without further ado I'll let the WaPo story speak for itself.

My Unwitting Role in the Rove 'Scoop'
here
By Joe Lauria
Sunday, June 18, 2006; Page B02
The May 13 story on the Web site Truthout.org was explosive: Presidential adviser Karl Rove had been indicted by Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald in connection with his role in leaking CIA officer Valerie Plame's name to the media, it blared. The report set off hysteria on the Internet, and the mainstream media scrambled to nail it down. Only . . . it wasn't true.

Which three of the remaining paragraphs to pick is the tough part.

Standing Down on the Rove Matter
By Marc Ash,
Wed Jun 14th, 2006 at 06:52:40 PM EDT :: Fitzgerald Investigation
snip
Truthout of course published an article on May 13 which reported that Karl Rove had in fact already been indicted. Obviously there is a major contradiction between our version of the story and what was reported yesterday. As such, we are going to stand down on the Rove matter at this time. We defer instead to the nation's leading publications.
