For the relatively new Du'ers here is

[shraby]

a file you should read. A group of us did some research about why Plame might have been outed and this is what we came up with:
<http://s93118771.onlinehome.us/DU/AMERICANJUDAS.pdf >

[babylonsister]

1. shraby, can you explain briefly why .pdf files are

used so often? Is is so you can't copy them? And BTW, I didn't know that was out there!

[seemslikeadream]

2. Here's the DU thread

4. Thank you! nt

17. The person who started that thread

has been TSed??

[salin]

19. not that I can tell

the link to the original thread - indicates a profile still working.

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. Looks like a TS to me

27. added post to wrong post - I looked at the wrong poster

was looking at Paulson (the post linked, not the OP). Had no idea Pallas was gone, if I recall the poster participated in some very interesting digging for information threads.

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. I know that is odd indeed

I remember some great stuff from that poster.

[salin]

26. I was looking at the wrong poster...

I remember Pallas - did some interesting digging around. Wonder what happened. *sigh*

[shraby]

3. I have no idea. Robert Paulsen on du put

the info we dug up into a pdf. I never asked him.

[uppityperson]

6. they are shareable between many different systems, word processing

the reader is avaiable for free online, most word processing and OS's can read them, making it easy to share written info. I think.

[eppur_se_muova]

33. Yep. Also good about getting files to PRINT out looking the same on ...

different OS's, printers, etc.

PDF indicates PostScript Descriptor Format (or File), IIRC, which means that any printer using Adobe's PostScript language (that means most printers, nowadays) can print out the file and have the fonts and formatting come out correctly, even when fancy page layout, fonts, graphics, etc. are involved. The appearance of the file when read onscreen and printed out should be identical (WYSIWYG), which is essential for those creating final release-quality documentation for commercial products. That was the original motivation for porting documents to PDF files, I believe, but it turned out to feel a void in cross-platform communication as well.

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. You CAN copy them.

Go to the tool bar, next to the "hand" click on "select" then drag the highlight tool to highlight what you want to copy. Go to the upper left corner of the page and you will see a "T", put your cursor on it and it says, "copy to clipboard" click on it and then go to whatever program you have and paste it...

SEE? :) Hope this helps.

AMERICAN JUDAS
Selling the Security of America and the World for 30 Pieces of Silver
By
Robert Paulsen
Compiled From the Research by Posters on “The Plame Indictment Threads”
At democraticunderground.com
1st Edition
A. Introduction
This paper is intended as a supplement to The Waterman Paper and an exploration into Goal #3: Why Cheney
Exposed Plame. It involves researching possible connections between businesses connected to Vice President
Dick Cheney that may be associated with the sale of WMD components to countries in the Middle East and Asia.
In addition to reviewing known information regarding the “leaking” of CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity and
the nature of her work, there will be an overview of A.Q. Khan’s network of nuclear proliferation, a listing of
compromising positions involving financial ties in Cheney’s past and finally an exploration into possible links
connecting Cheney to nuclear proliferation markets for profit.
All evidence shall be cited in a source guide available upon request.

11. Thank you - this is something that always has eluded me

your awesome

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. :) You're welcome. It took me YEARS to figure that out.

One day I sat here with a PDF until I could copy/paste. I was so tired of finding great info and not being able to share anything but a link. :hi:

[babylonsister]

14. Bookmarking, sort of. Thanks, in_cog...! nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. Do you know how to do that on a Mac?

[Elwood P Dowd]

22. Here you go

Go up to the toolbar and click on the T - 3d from left on bottom. Then use your cursor to highlight the text you want to copy. Go to edit>copy and after you copy the selected text, paste it where you want it.

[proud2BlibKansan]

24. Huh?

Sorry I don't see a T. You mean where it says 'Tools' at the very top of my screen?

[Elwood P Dowd]

30. What OS are you using?

I gave you the method for my work computer using OS 9.1 and Acrobat 5.0.
If you're using OS 10, then I think you just highlite the text, go to edit and copy. Then paste your text. I don't have my OS 10 Mac running at this time, but I could check it later.

Let me know what you see when you have the PDF file open on your desktop, and then I might could help.

[proud2BlibKansan]

37. OS 10

I can't highlight text on a pdf.

[Elwood P Dowd]

31. Got if working yet?

<nm>

[eppur_se_muova]

32. If you only have the Acrobat Reader, you may not be able to do this.

Many of the tools will be grayed out. You can still 'Select All' (command-A) and copy, then paste into a word processor or text editor. I just tried this in Acrobat 4.0 under System 8.6, so it's been working for a long time.

[Elwood P Dowd]

35. Forgot all about that

it's been so long since I only had the free reader.

[bigwillq]

5. That's a great link

Thanks for posting. :hi:

[PuraVidaDreamin]

7. Every corporate media outlet stated today that outing Plame is no big deal

How do we get them to cover what secrets may have been
revealed by outing her?

[Poiuyt]

8. That report is devastating!

It needs to be sent to everyone in Congress and all media outlets (hopefully, someone will read it)

[Hissyspit]

9. Kicked and Recommended. Even us "older" DUers need to be

reminded of stuff. Someone just mentioned in another thread that Chertoff had perjured himself during his confirmation hearings, and I remembered being aware of that at the time, but I had completely forgotten it. It can be so hard to keep up with all the garbage that piles up.

[Gabi Hayes]

36. I know I mentioned that, as well as his connection to some sort of

terror related fundraising in New Jersey, but it could have been somebody else.

12. Also these are must reads as well for newbies

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=4390395

this is a twofer American Judas which is in the OP plus The Waterman Paper which led to robertpaulsen writing American Judas


http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:RajaUXFaeDcJ:www.counterpunch.org/morris07272005.html+counterpunch+rice+INR+NIE+plame&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1


This one is a detailed time line of Plame by Roger Morris from Counterpunch, I could post more but this is a good start.

BTW Great idea on the OP

[chill_wind]

15. Bookmarked with great care and regard

for all the analytical minds and keepers and preservers of the facts and timelines.

Thankyou. DU is vastly wealthy in all its human resources and newly amazing *each and every new day.*

[countryjake]

16. Thank you! I didn't realize this was available.

Shouldn't some of this be in another form, since many here haven't the capability to read a pdf file?

Glad to see those links all in one spot, for reference.

[mdmc]

20. worthy of a bookmark!

:kick:

23. Thanks! nt

25. I stopped reading

...when I saw the name Wayne Madsen.

'nuff said.

[shraby]

34. Wayne Madsen was not a big part

of our findings. He was disregarded.

[WiseButAngrySara]

29. This is interesting and very thorough...fills in a lot of gaps, although

I'm not able to read it in its entirety right now. I tried to bookmark the DU page on the Judas article, and found that I could not. Any idea how to bookmark this thread? Also, another question that I have (have never understood it, and have never asked until now): What is a Permalink? Can I use this instead of a bookmark?

:kick: & R & Thanks!
