Disclosure

Just recently, I've seen a sudden change with many corporate mainstream news sources. They're finally reporting some unflattering truths about the Bush regime, non-existent WMD's, and the neocon's attacks on our civil liberties. Editors that stopped saying anything critical of Bush Regime tactics since September 2002 are finally addressing the lies that led us to war and the regime's attacks on civil liberties. And political comic strips that aim their brutal humor at political leaders are finally allowed to take the kind of parody shots at the regime that they were intimidated from doing as the more rebellious ones refusing to censor themselves either lost their jobs, or were censored by papers, like the Washington Post.


I'm not the only one to see this switch. Editor & Publisher magazine has also taken notice, as indicated in their recently featured article Editorials Question Bush's Role in 'Cooking' Up a War, by Greg Mitchell, dated Jan. 28th. This follows after Bush weapons inspector, David Kay publicly announced that the prospect of ever finding WMD's is unlikely, because of the possibility that the alleged WMD's never existed. (There is no possibility. It's a fact.)


Hundreds of millions of us that objected to the attack/invasion/occupation of Iraq already knew this. Unfortunately, David Kay is counting on the most bewildered Americans not to know other details that many of us have learned from sources like U.S. and U.K. government insiders that publicly told the truth.


I refer to information from the intelligence community released last year about Dick Cheney establishing an office where he hand-selected members of the intelligence agency to stove-pipe questionable pieces of intelligence reports that specifically built the argument and supported the Bush regime's claims that Saddam sought and possessed WMD's. Our former intel sources For several months last year, numerous sources from the intelligence community and also former Ambassador Wilson openly stated that there's no solid evidence to prove that Saddam Hussein was back in the WMD business. Some former intelligence members insisted that Cheney refused to accept any reports debunking the WMD myth and demanded the intel community deliver evidence to prove the Bush regime's claims.


An associated Press release a few days ago quoted Kay as saying that the intelligence community owes the Bush regime an apology for allegedly misleading the neocons with questionable and unreliable reports of the WMD's that don't exist. The Bush regime hand-selected Kay to participate in the fruitless search for the non-existent WMD's. Over the months that I've been trying to keep up with reports from the insiders that either resigned or retired earlier than planned since the neocons took control of the highest executive government offices. All along, I had expected that they'd send a group to plant WMD's, then direct Kay to lead the other inspectors to the site where they were planted. I even suspected that CIA Director Tenet would cooperate. I'm actually surprised that this didn't happen.



Another revelation: Names of most Senators that participated in the voice vote on neocons $87 million spending money for war profiteers in Iraq has been released. Members of the Society for Professional Journalism contacted Senators to ask them to reveal how they voted. This is a list of the Senator's names and the stance they claimed to have taken in response to the SPJ's question. Some Senators refused to disclose their votes. Hillary Clinton and Trent Lott were two of them.
