Bush Political Prisoner Gets Her Day in Court

http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0806/S00141.htm

Author's summary:

Susan Lindauer delivered a memo to Andrew Card two months before the Iraq invasion that said: She said:

"Above all, you must realize that if you go ahead with this invasion, Osama bin Laden will triumph, rising from his grave of seclusion. His network will be swollen with fresh recruits and other charismatic individuals will seek to build on his model multiplying those networks. And the United States will have delivered the death blow to itself." Susan Lindauer's last letter to Andrew Card, Jan. 6, 2003

A year later she offered to testify before a Senate Committee looking at Iraq intel failures. They turned her name over the government and she was indicted as an "unregistered agent" for pre invasion Iraq. What did she do - deliver letters to Andy Card which were supposed to have influenced him. Too bad they didn't, given her accuracy.

I guess after she was blown off initially, I honestly question why she went to other Republicans to offer her testimony. For a seemingly very intelligent woman, she wasn't smart about who to contact. As for the actual facts in this case, they're very disturbing and I can't help but to wonder how many others have been treated like this but are still unknown to us?

Remember Clint Curtis? He was a Republican and was hired by them to write software to steal an election--they told him they needed it to prevent the Democrats from doing it, and he believed it. And he's a very smart guy.

Wait until you see the article I wrote that John-Michael just published. It should hit Care2 this afternoon.

Anyone who goes to ANY elected or appointed official with truth is going to get blown off, gagged, or find that their sincere and helpful representative lacks the power to help them. That's the problem we're trying to fix. When our representative won't or can't represent us, the system is broken and changing representatives won't help.

One of the people I spoke with at the Darfur film showing is the campaign manager for a local Congressional candidate. While we were speaking he same by and after listening for a minute he said, "But she (his campaign manager) needs a job." I said, "So do you, but there are honest ways to earn a living."

I just send her copies of Consensual Political Intercourse and The Fable of Lanova Messiah.

I know I can't get through to everyone, but I can reach some and for every person, there is somebody somewhere who can get through to them.
