I got this image from Sherlock Google’s diary at dKos.
Sherlock notes:
Hardball is now reporting that Fitz has received a copy of the fake Niger document. A copy above shows why it is such a laughable forgery.
Here is a PDF of the entire doc: http://cryptome.org/niger-docs.pdf
Here is a link to more info: http://cryptome.org/niger-docs.htm
When you know all the facts of how Stephen Hadley put those words in there “by mistake”, even after it was asked to be removed by the CIA–you will see it makes the 16 words a deliberate lie to Congress.
Rep. Maurice Hinchey led 40 Democrats in asking Fitz to expand his investigation to the Niger forgeries, sending a letter that outlined the crime of lying to Congress and the statutes that were broken by George W. Bush. By law, the GJ is required to hear any such request–especially one signed by 40 members of Congress.
If this is true Harwood of the WSJ said it would be an “earthquake” in Washington.
The INR (State Department Intelligence Agency) analyst that looked at this document wrote an email stating:
I suspect the American people will warm to the concept of impeachment when they get a look at this document.

I went to a fundraiser for Pat Murphy last night. I’m getting to know Pat and his campaign staff pretty well. He is a great candidate and his staff is filled with excellent people. If they keep buying me drinks, I may even endorse him. LOL.
Pat is running for Congress in the 8th district of Pennsylvania. The district covers most of Bucks County, which is a very affluent county that runs along the picturesque Delaware River. The river serves as the border with New Jersey.
His opponent Mike Fitzpatrick is one of Tom DeLay’s flunkies:
If you want to contribute to the BooMan bar tab you can do so here.
From Pat’s bio:
With this background, it is no surprise that Patrick went on to become a West Point professor, airborne and air assault qualified, a JAG Corps attorney, and that he served two deployments after 9/11 — the first to Bosnia in 2002 and the second to Baghdad, Iraq in 2003-2004 as a paratrooper with the 82d Airborne Division.
In Iraq, Captain Murphy advised on offensive operations, initiated reconstruction efforts within the justice system, trained the new Iraqi Civil Defense Corps on the rules of engagement and was instrumental in the prosecution of Sheik Moyad, a radical lieutenant of Muqtada Sadr. For his service, Patrick earned the Bronze Star and his unit earned the Presidential Unit Citation.

I’ve been diagnosed with femiphobia, elitism, and anti-intellectualism.
I’m waiting to be called a self-hating emasculated coward.
