James Woolsey (PNAC'er) is EVERYWHERE in the media
I saw justthis morning a vague non answer answer from Woolsey on the Iraq-alQuaeda connection, ~"we haven't proved it but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist...these are like two mafia families who may not like each other but they can agree that their enemy can make them friends for the time being". This was on local news-they are jumping over the networks and wires like they plan to with the direct feeds of CPA briefings.

Yes Woolsey once was the head of the CIA but as a member of PNAC and their apparent spokesman now he is all over print and TV.

On Monday the report about how the markets should surge due to the Saddam capture quoted Woolsey.

I have seen him quoted in at least two other articles/DU threads this week.

This is the plan, with the title "former CIA chief" creedence is necessarily given to him and his seemingly independence adds to that.

Heads up!

1. Watching him gives me the creeps
He looks evil and sneaky and dark--I wouldn't put anything past this man.

2. And, I haven't proven
Using Woolsey's logic,

I haven't proven Rove takes it in the chute from *, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

5. I want one of those gold American Express cards
just because American Express think I don't have any money, doesn't mean I'm not worth at least $10bn.

3. Woolsey ?
I can't help but think that Woolsey wasn't exactly on the up and up with the Clinton administration. Could it be that he made sure that
some information was conviently misplaced.

I've heard his constant diatribe against Clinton, and all the things
that should have been done. But look at what Woolsey has gained and
who is allies are.

Maybe some day there should be an investigation done on Woolsey, to see what he knew and where he hid the information.

4. He's also advocated a bombing campaign against N. Korea...
He's a complete madman who is able to wear a mask of sanity. The mere fact that this lunatic is given so much credence within the media bubble drives home the point of how out-of-touch our media really is.

He's a complete nutcase who is hell-bent on US global domination.

8. They continue to go back to him
I have a feeling that the press is being directed to talk to him either that or something very strange is afoot and none of the regular commentators want to be quoted/involved.

I don't know and I don't want it to sound like a conspiracy theory but there has to be some reason he is everywhere at once.

6. Woolsey is one of the really bad PNACers too...
some of the things he's said are totally outrageous.

7. In Feb. Woolsey and Frank Gaffney were saying Syria should follow Iraq as
Bush's next target. This was a month before the Iraq invasion.
