Will Pitt, did you ask John Kerry if he read your book "War on Iraq"
To me, that book was influential in my thinking that Saddam did not have the WMD's that the Bush Admin said he had and it helped convince me that the Neo-Cons were setting us up for war in Iraq. That and my interest in the PNAC. ;-)

The book was published in late Sept. 2002. The War resolution was voted on Oct. 11, 2002. Your book along with other publications offered plenty of ammo for anyone doubting that the Bush Admin would let the Inspectors and U.N do their job.

My point is....You seem to be OK with Kerry's explanation of why he voted for the War Resolution..:shrug: When you met face to face with JK wouldn't it have been a perfect time to ask him why he didn't believe the evidence (your book) that indicated that Suddam had no WMDs?

2. Will you ask him about his "Skull and Bones" connection?
Watch his eyes, then see if you can get him to say anything other than "Ah! it was just a little fraternity nonsense." After that, show him Alexandra Robbin's list of incredibly influential people who were all once "Skull and Boners". Maybe ask him if he ever saw Geronimo's stolen skull.

Or don't. Don't want the big guy to go droppin' F-bombs on yo' ass.

I'm pokin' fun. Actually, I like the guy. He just voted for the wrong war at the wrong time. (Thanks Mr.Ted Kennedy for proving there's some Democrats who'll fight back.)

Be real. Nothing would get you kicked out on your ass of an interview or press conference that wearing a little tinfoil hat.

Questions are a helluva lot more likely to be answered if there's at least a hint of civilization in the air. Hell, interviews can be even be fun and interesting - whoulda thunk it?

You've got a strong leg to stand on because you know your shit. Ask him how come a Boston school teacher (at the time) knew that Bush and the Neo-Cons were lying but a powerful Senator like himself with powerful resources did not know? Ask him if he really looked into the counter-evidence or was he more concerned with the political fallout? Certainly he knew of the AEI/PNAC and Cheneys involvement in the whole process...didn't that make him a bit suspicious... Ask him if he knew that focusing on Saddam would take away valuble resorces from the war on terror?

BTW: Forget that Skull and Bones crap... Were talking War here!
