(OK, that title could use some work......B)
Senator Pat Roberts, President Bush's biggest apologist and conspirator in the Senate, was just on Lou Dobbs discussing today's bombshell revelations on NSA spying from USA Today.
As we all recall, Nancy Pelosi wanted to get some of the inforamation out on who's been briefed. This will put pressure on all those involved who are keeping the President's lawbreaking quiet.
That information was classified by the Bush White House.
Pat Roberts just went on Lou Dobbs to do his song and dance routine in defense of Dear Leader's spying. In the course of his little routine, he spoke of these exact details that were classified so as to keep Nancy Pelosi, and the American People, in the dark.
Roberts identified:
- the number of people who received these briefings,
- the committees these people sit on, and
- a breakdown of House and Senate members who were briefed.
A good reporter, or a determined legislator, should take this information and force the Administration to open up further about their illegal activities.
Was this information declassified by Bush for Roberts to defend his program?
Has Nancy Pelosi received the declassified information?
Are any of our Senators, esp. Kerry and Rockefeller, going to receive this information?
Pat Roberts leaked on Lou. Let's make him come clean and force Bush to finally have to answer for the massive damage he has done to our Constituion, and our national security.
(I know this is lacking some detail. Dobbs doesn't have his transcript up yet, I don't have TIVO, and I'm getting old and forgetful. When any one of those clear up, I'll add details to this post -- B)
