David Corn has earned my trust.
For a few years now, I have seen aspects to David Corn that would make me uncomfortable. He had very close connections and sources within the CIA, so I felt I was being spun. He would have some straight information to share, and then give us the non-conspiracy version, while refusing to entertain that the conspiracy aspect was possible (as with his treatment of 9-11).

David Corn's newest book pinpointing Bush's lies, and his appearances on the various political shows have verified to me that Corn is still telling it with his intel friends in mind, but, this time it's the intel community uniting AGAINST a Bush and not protecting a Bush.

This bodes very well for our country and its future. I think the good guys in the intel community - CIA, FBI, and NSA - will keep the info out there that is necessary to expose Bush further.

1. saw him on Washington Journal this a.m.
Edited on Mon Oct-20-03 11:55 AM by donsu

and he had a little trouble saying the 'lie' word. yes, he said it in a general way quite a lot but when it came to the personal he used 'deceptive'.

i wondered if that was for his own safety, or some other reason.

2. Foaming freepers wasted a lot of Corn's time
Sven let them go on and on.

4. They sounded like a bunch of idiots and liars themselves, didn't they?
Marching orders from the top down. Lie, lie, and lie again.

3. I still have reservations about him, though he's sometimes pretty good.
I'm not easily going to forget his smearing of the anti-war marches last year, just because A.N.S.W.E.R. organized them.

5. Corn Lambasted Cynthia McKinney
Edited on Mon Oct-20-03 12:15 PM by cryingshame
Mischaracterizing her comments about what Junior knew and when he knew it.

He lumped her in with "crazy conspiracy theorists". The crazy conspiracists being those who might dare suggest that an official might have had foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks

I do not trust him.

He has shown his true colors.

6. hmmm...
I should watch this, I've also had similar "itchy" feelings about Corn... the whole FOX news analyst bit, shouting about conspiracy theorists, etc. didn't endear him much to me in the past...
