Who knew? Did the MoveOn.org group know that Fenton Communications was advertising twisted quotes? FactChecker.org says THEY KNEW!
Those who are attacked in this advertisement said what they had been told by the CIA. The CIA got it wrong; but that does not make those who reported their findings liars. All of the White House staff and members of Congress were briefed by the CIA, and ALL received the SAME wrong information.
The White House and the Congress did not know that the information was wrong. They did not "LIE" when they acted on the FALSE information. They did not knowingly pass on falsehoods; but the MoveOn.org and associated groups DID - They have LIED.
The anti-war groups are the same old group with the same old false accusations we saw in the Vietnam war. The leaders used the attack American and defend the Communists then also. For those who seek the truth, read the full quotes and you will find "they look a bit different when read in full context."
Thursday should give us a Chief Justice for the U S Supreme Court. The President is said to be ready to announce his nominee to replace Judge O'Connor. We look forward to President Bush's nominee. He said he would name future justices in the mold of Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. President Bush is a man of his word.
Harriet Miers has been searching for the person that meets those qualifications. Harriet Miers could be that person according to this AP article. As the Court now stands, whoever fills this spot will have the "swing" vote on upcoming crucial Court rulings. Our prayers are with the President as he makes this choice.

I think that nominating Harriet Miers would be a politically brilliant move on the part of the President.
All the other potential nominees--Owens, Luttig, Garza, Brown, et al.--have very public records that can and will be used against them.
Chuck Schumer will have to look far and wide to find anything Miers has written that he would be able to hang her with.
At the same time, I think the fact that she is such a close and trusted advisor to the President should speak volumes to conservatives about where her heart is on issues that matter to them. The president wouldn't have given her all of the important jobs he's already given her (and he certainly would never give her a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court) if he weren't convinced that she would be a positive part of his legacy.
Thanks for stopping by Stan. John Roberts was the right Judge for the Chief, I say like others who have said, "I hope so." We need a staunch Conserative this time.
You are right about Schumer though, with him it's all politics.
I think he will and not just for political reasons. There are several reasons that will come out if you and I are correct.
