C-span censorship? Dead link to video stream of Hearings.
This stream on c-span has been stopped or shut down- too "hot"?- too damning? too controversial for c-span???

Hearing on Security Implications of Revealing Covert Agent's Identity

Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) and Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) co-chair a meeting on the national security implicatings of disclosing a covert agent's identity. Former intelligence agents participate in the meeting, co-sponsored by the Sen. Democratic Policy Committee and Democratic members of the Hse. Gov. Reform Comm.
7/22/2005: WASHINGTON, DC: 2 hr. 15 min.

I really, really wanted to watch this hearing, it's the ONLY stream that won't load!

:banghead:

1. They have been running it all weekend,
i don't think they are trying to censor it. Its probably just a technical problem.

4. I Think It's Just Technical...Buzzflash Has Transcript...
in one large pdf if you need it...otherwise wait and I'm sure they'll fix it...but I'm shocked, sort of, that none of the msm are even mentioning the very informative hearings...

5. Seems the Republicans shouting foul
Some say the Republicans have ordered C-span not to cover these hearings. Seems the respective majority, soon to be minority, leaders may have threatened a blackout of future official committee hearings.
