It's time for the president to play the 'name names' game

[xray s]

...So, for the chief executive who suddenly wants (Kerry to name names), who suddenly flirts with some understanding of the merits of full disclosure and transparency after more than three years of running the most secretive government in American history, a few similar questions:

Who met with Dick Cheney in the first days of this administration to formulate America's energy policy?

Name names.

Which corporate titans wielded the key influences that have resulted in the most enviro-hostile administration in memory, the highest gas prices in memory and a myopic oil-junky foreign policy?

Name names.

(Oh, that's right, I've got to wait until the Supreme Court rules on this one. In the meantime, Cheney can go duck hunting with Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, so they can get their story straight on why I don't need to know this.)

Who was on board for the notorious Saudi airlift?

Name names.

Who allowed a planeload of influential Saudis to fly out of the country Sept. 13, 2001, with all commercial air traffic grounded and before any formal investigation into the hijackings had fully begun?

Name names.

Who outed Valerie Plame, the CIA operative whose terrorist tracking operation was destroyed because her husband had the nerve to say part of your State of the Union address was a fiction designed to build support for Bush War II?

Name names.

Much much more! Check out the site

1. WTG Pittsburgh Post-Gazette! Here's a gem....

Who actually saw you complete your National Guard obligations in Alabama during the Vietnam War?

Name names.

YES!!

2. The press needs to be asking these questions.....

and not just in editorials.

Where is the White House news team? Isn't it time for W to give another press conference?

You say he doesn't give press conferences? Why not?

We all need to start asking a lot of questions.

3. One of the few times I've seen this pointed out in the media...

"Who forgot to restrain you from repeating the fiction that you watched on television from a Florida schoolhouse as the first plane hit the World Trade Center building the morning of Sept. 11, even though no video of the first plane hitting was discovered until the next day?"
