1. The Cohen Group.
http://hevallo.blogspot.com/2008/01/marc-grossman-is-turkish-secret-agent.html

Those familiar with the details of the conflict of interest surrounding the State Department's appointment of Lockheed Martin's Joseph Ralston as "PKK coordinator" for Turkey, will remember that Ralston works as a vice-chairman of The Cohen Group.

The other vice-chairman of The Cohen Group is Marc Grossman.The Cohen Group, founded by former Defense Secretary William Cohen--a Clinton appointee--has been involved in nothing but dirty business since its creation, such as its role in the cover-up of Oil-for-Food kickbacks and the Australian Wheat Board.

2. This could be great news.
If the guy doesn't end up pleading the Fifth,
something is wrong with the questioning.



As always, thanks for the news, seemslikeadream.

7. "Something wrong with the questioning" is
gaining prominence as a cause for concern.

I don't fully get it.

4. Cohen is a major scumbag
I'll never forgive him for shitting on Wes Clark in 2004.

Karma's a bitch, ain't it Billy?

My my. That's a sub-committee in Waxman's realm. Will Henry be there?

Hmmm...here's list of the Majority members, there's a name on that list that tells me, perhaps Mr. Grossman won't be asked any questions about Sibel:

John F. Tierney, Chairman
Carolyn B. Maloney
Stephen F. Lynch
Brian Higgins
John A. Yarmuth
Bruce L. Braley
Betty McCollum
Jim Cooper
Chris Van Hollen
Paul W. Hodes
Peter Welch
Tom Lantos

5. more unfortunate news
There's a name on the minority member's list that indicates to me, Mr. Grossman may get a free pass:

Christopher Shays, Ranking Member
Dan Burton
John M. McHugh
Todd Russell Platts
John J. Duncan
Michael Turner
Kenny Marchant
Lynn A. Westmoreland
Patrick T. McHenry
Virginia Foxx

Well, here's hoping anyway.

So, this is old news?

Edit Add: It is an old post, from Jan 22.

Now, I am sad. :(
