C-Span 3 WILL broadcast the Downing Street hearing live tomorrow.

[Justice Is Comin]

Whoopee. 1:30 PM Eastern. It won't be a good day for redders tomorrow. The Downing street memos in all it's glory comes to the Senate. Laying it out how the intelligence was "fixed" around the invasion.

Granted it may be in a utility broom closet, because the Pubbers are terrified to death to have this information revealed in an official hearing. But this is the Senate and powder kegs are going to be ignited tomorrow!!

I think the Dems are finally getting a little bit of the Tienanmen Square spirit.

If the MSM doesn't cover it, the Democrats will still have written record testimony. I think this is going to be a monster event and will lead to more major heartburn at a time when the criminals are already panicked with record lows in the polls.

My God, what will happen if people hear the war was actually a contrived and total lie to Congress? Downing Street man, welcome to the Senate!!!

2. Thanks for posting. Let's make sure CNN and MSNBC hear about it.

3. C-Span 3?

Where the hell do you get that?

Guaranteed that this will not be more then a 15 second or 2 sentence news blip or
the nightly news ....

gotta cover the Miami 7 ..... they were buying a memory card
for a camera to record their "terrorist act" which they did not have the materials for,
the training to pull off, the money for the job, or the contacts w/ al Qaeda.

Remember the Downing Street Minutes just showed that we were lied into the war
and both Blair & Bush knew it was b.s. story they were feeding the people.

[AndyTiedye]

13. CSPAN3 is on the Web, and maybe Some Cable System Somewhere

[dysfunctional press]

5. c-span 3 ???? yeah...that's REALLY gonna make a difference...

i honestly don't know whether to :eyes: or :rofl: .....

hmmm.....

:rofl: it is.

[Roland99]

7. How many people will see this live? 20,000?

[Justice Is Comin]

9. They have to do it on 3 because

the Senate and House are in session on 1 & 2. This insures that it will definitely be recorded and rebroadcast on C-Span 1 and 2 probably many times over.

I would venture to say this is going to the most devastating hearing for Republicans since Bush took office. So laugh away.

[LifeDuringWartime]

20. c-span 3 is almost useless

i dont think ive ever used a tv that had it, even with digital cable. why doesnt anybody have it?

[babylonsister]

6. Thank you! I had no idea there was going to be a DS hearing

tomorrow!

[Gregorian]

10. Wow. What happened to "put it behind, and move on"?

Great news.

[dogday]

11. Thank you so much for this and Holy Crap

this should be good.. I will be looking forward to this....

[napi21]

12. Brian Lamm, on Fri, said that when they film things that they can only

air on c-span3, they always rerun it on cspan 1 or 2 either that night or on the weekend when there is time.

I think tomorrow, we'll need to keep checking the cspan scedules for it to reair.

[hashibabba]

14. C-SPAN 3 is on Comcast digital cable.

I can't wait!

[Justice Is Comin]

15. And here is the lineup.

Lawrence Wilkerson, Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, 2001-2005....Was totally aware of the bullshit as it was being fed to the U.N.

Paul Pillar, CIA official responsible for coordinating intelligence on Iraq, 2000-2005.... He was the head officer in charge of coordinating the intelligence from all six agencies and condensing it into the one page National Intelligence Summary for Bush. He told Bush, Iraq was YEARS away from having a nuclear weapon.

Carl Ford, Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence and Research, 2001-2003

Wayne White, State Department principal Iraq analyst, 2003-2005

Rod Barton, Senior Advisor to the Iraq Survey Group, 2003-2004

Michael Smith, reporter for the Sunday Times of London, and the first to report the existence of the so-called "Downing Street Memo.".... Bush's worst nightmare giving recorded testimony to Reid and Dorgan in the U.S. senate. Ha ha ha ha.

Joseph Cirincione, co-author of WMD in Iraq: Evidence and Implications



7 people exposing the lies. :nuke:

[The Witch]

16. Think any repubs will come?

Think any DEMS will come? ;_;

[Gabi Hayes]

17. the real question is: will any M$Mers come? will it be even MENTIONED?

if so, will they make fun of it, as they did the Conyers hearings on Election Theft 2004?

[JudyM]

24. I'm emailing several MSM right now. Put the pressure on. n/t

[karynnj]

18. Many may already be committed before this was set

I know that Kerry is speaking Boston - so he won't be there, even though he was the one who led the effort to get Part 2 including the DSM.

[lala_rawraw]

25. They are going to videoconference Smith

...he won't be there in person- which is too bad.

[robinlynne]

19. Are you talking about the hearing from a year and a half ago?

[LifeDuringWartime]

21. new hearing apparently

pretty cool!

[upi402]

22. another broom closetted, C-SPAN3 hearing

I just love the TV news traitors and the neocons who keep them.

[in_cog_ni_to]

26. If it's aired on the SPAN 3, it will repeat on the SPAN 1 or 2 later.

This is a good thing. I don't have the SPAN 3 either, but will get to catch it on 1 or 2 or online.

[upi402]

34. Agreed, but it SHOULD be lead story every night on MSM n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

35. Lead story on MSM???? Not in my lifetime. That will NEVER happen, but

you're right, it SHOULD BE.

[me b zola]

23. I'll be counting on DU for real time blogging

I don't get c-span 3 and I can't watch video on my computor :( But I'll be logged on to DU counting on you guys :hi:

[lala_rawraw]

30. I wonder if the 1947 Security Act

relates directly to Feith and Phase II... i wonder if Wilkerson will bring that up? i am very interested in how Feith's role plays out in these discussions.

[Norquist Nemesis]

31. Yes, he did! (in his opening comments)

Thread on it here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1508795&mesg_id=1508795

He's up now.

[lala_rawraw]

32. Well he mentioned the act, but not Feith by name
