have you guys ever done a story on file sharing? I mean real file sharing not just music but actual serial file cracks warez files, it surprised me how easy it was to come across legitamite cracks-warez of expensive sofware even software that hadnt even been released. Photoshopcs3 and the whole Cs3 suite. people all ove the world are collaborate and often times there are insiders of the software companies involved (probably disgruntled employess). I have some info you might be interested in.

Is it really worth telling them anything? ABC news is infiltrated by the CIA. Heck if you give them anything, they will hunt you down. try alternative news sites they may be helpful.

Powell said it was the CIA that gave him the bad information. And who is it that used to head the CIA and still gets CIA daily briefings? George Herbert Walker Bush, the President's father! Just like Alan Dullas was fired by JFK but ended up on the Warren Commission, these guys who (formerly) head the CIA never seem to leave, and always cause havoc from behind the scenes.

Let's not forget that the Democrat's during the Clinton Admin were saying the same things Powell/Bush were saying to the U.N. Search your facts and you'll find that the liberal love child, Al Gore, condemned Iraq and Saddem during the election season leading up to Clinton going in office.

Endless investigating goes nowhere if there are not consequences due to the results of findings which is a big reason why the Democrats control of congresses approval ratings are so low

Lalalinda: Yes, Gore was condemning Saddam Hussein -- and rightfully so. No Democrat makes the argument that Saddam Hussein wasn't a bad person. He was a terrible person who murdered his own people. But Al Gore did not say that our country should go to war with Iraq because Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and he knew where they were hiding them and that not doing so would be an imminent threat to the security of our country, as Bush & Co. stated. There is a HUGE difference. Leaders worldwide were condemning Saddam Hussein for his human rights violations, and Al Gore was one of them.

Therefore, it is unequivocally untrue that the condemnation of Iraq that came from Clinton/Gore was of the same type as the condemnation that came from Bush/Cheney. The Clinton/Gore condemnation was of the "human rights violation" type. The condemnation from Bush/Cheney was of the "imminent threat, 9/11 connection, weapons of mass destruction" type. Both administrations criticized Saddam Hussein, but the context is totally different.

Hey Martinez. You want us to use an alternate source like say, FOX "news"? Would that be more legitimate for you.

Who gave Powell the bad intel???
You're kidding, right?

Mr. Richards maybe you didn't catch that Ken is a far left nut job why would he tune in to Fox?

It's a shame that Powell's bad information robbed the Republicans of a Presidential canidate that appealed to both conservatives AND Democrats. It seems that GWB has been short-sighted on a great many issues.

So...Farhan...when Clinton said Saddam had WMD's and sought more WMD's he and Al didn't consider that an imminent threat?...ahhh...OK.

According to the Dark Side, a documentary which can be viewed at PBS online, it was SCOOTER LIBBY who wrote the speech Powell gave to the UN. Powell was very concerned about the veracity of the info it contained. He was assured it was the truth.

"The dark side"? There you go Mr. Richards...I think the dark side is more along the lines of the "alternate source" our friend Ken was referring.

Give it a rest.
Clinton didn't go to war based on his personal opinions of the WMDs. BushCo did.

Come on.
Anybody with even room temperature IQ knew he was lying. Hans Blix publically called him on the fabrications a day or so later.

If Powell didn't know it was garbage, he was & is an idiot. I watched the performance. It was embarrassing to even watch.

Now lets pretend nobody knew and find out how that "mistaken intelligence" -if intelligence can be so misused - came to be. This is pathetic.

I get a kick watching repugs still claim justification for the biggest blunder in US history. That's Bush's legacy. Colin Powell now can't get away from this administration fast enough, but it's too late. If he had doubts about the veracity of the intel, he should have spoken up. The facts are, this administration rushed into war based on bad judgement by all involved. I'm sorry, but I don't think Clinton or Gore would have made that blunder, and in fact we know Clinton didn't. Bush did. The debate's over about whether this war is a mistake. The only question now is how we repair the damage done by this administration.

The democrats have nothing better to do than to talk about water under the bridge?

No wonder they accomplish nothing in government.

it's no suprise to read the neo-cons complaining about how the dems don't have anything better to do than go on meaningless "fishing" trips, or conduct political theatre. you neo-cons lost power because there was no oversight! you, like blind sheep, did everything cheney asked for. the reason why dems are doing so much oversight is because there was none the last 6 years! as rep. obey stated, we are cleaning up the mess you left! you neo-cons have lost sight of checks and balances, and you've lost the meaning of integrity and honesty. simply put, you guys are pathetic!

Biggest blunder in U.S. history Jason?
Bigger than say Lincoln assuming the top generals would side with the Union being wrong and leading to 80,000 deaths in the first few months of the civil war? Or FDR misreading of Japans intentions or Kennedy getting us involved in Vietnam. I think, Jason, I could go on listing bigger blunders for the next hour and a half. Maybe you might want to tone the hyperbole down a bit when talking to the adults.
