REDACTION LOOPHOLE: ACCESS TO THE BARRETT REPORT
- by Mia T, 01.20.06
|
The way it works: Any member of Congress can see the redactions simply by requesting access, and, unlike Barrett, can publish the redactions "without fear of legal sanction."1 The serious '"culture of corruption" in the clinton DOJ and IRS detailed by the Barrett report makes one wonder about the nature of the crimes and abuse that the clintons felt compelled to redact. Even a small subset of what we do know about the redactions argues for their immediate disclosure by Congress. (Only in the surreal world of the clintons would someone suggest with a straight face that disclosure of the crime of obstruction of justice is precluded by privacy considerations.) We know that clinton pettifoggers labored mightily and long to gut and bury this report with some 140 motions, assorted sleights of hand... and, whenever necessary, the clintons' heavy hand. We know that charges of retaliatory IRS audits of both the clintons' political foes and the clintons' victims of rape and predation are said to be included in the redacted material. The mutual protection racket writ large is apparently alive and well in DC. (Is Filegate rearing its ugly head yet again?) We mustn't let Congress get away with this coverup. Call. E-mail. Fax. Don't let up. And remember the responses. On Election Day.

1941+64 RE: a not-so-modest proposal concerning hillary clinton
The context of our concern today--regardless of political affiliation--is Iraq and The War on Terror, but the larger fear is that our democracy may not survive. We have the requisite machines, power and know-how to defeat the enemy in Iraq and elsewhere, but do we have the will? In particular, do we have the will to identify and defeat the enemy in our midst? Answerable to no one, heir apparent in her own mind, self-serving in the extreme, Hillary Clinton incarnates this insidious new threat to our survival. What we decide to do about Missus Clinton will tell us much about what awaits us in these perilous new times. COMPLETE

Hillary
Clinton's revisionist tome notwithstanding, 'living
history' begets a certain symmetry. It is in that
light that I make this not-so-modest proposal on
this day, exactly 64 years after the attack on
Pearl Harbor.
