Educate me, where have the Democrats been on Siebel Edmonds?

[still_one]

Last week we just went through steroid use, AGAIN. Did Congress even have Siebel Edmonds up before them testifying?

Other than bits and pieces, and the 60 minute piece which indicated that grassley from Iowa was on her side, essentially NOTHING has been heard from the MSM on this.

WHERE is the Democratic Congess on this one, or did I miss something?



Thanks

1. She testified years back. The justice department has retroactively

classified everything. They are nowhere on this.

3. Thanks. So because everything has been classified they cannot have her appear?

Why can't they do it behind closed doors?

4. Could be

That some high ranking dems are involved in this, and it would really make them look bad if all the info came out. This kind of thing should be the biggest news they have, and if they weren't also involved, you would think it would be great stuff to go after the Bush administration, and show the country just how corrupt things are. It makes no sense to me!

I found this dated back to 2005 where it talks about the "money trail" leading back to candidates who ran for office:

7. I guess what has really upset me, but not surprised me is that the U.S. media won't do anything

Most of our news is from international sources

It is remarkable that this comes from Dallas

9. Yes, the media is corrupt also

They won't put this out because they are in bed with the whitehouse. It's such a shame that the vast majority of news the public gets is controled by the neocons and their corporate partners in crime!

I must admit that I didn't know about this till I read it here on DU. The public does't know what is happening, and if they don't have access to the internet, probably never will, and that's not democracy at work!

Congress needs to bust up the monopoly that the republicans have on the media so the public can become informed about the crap that is going on right under their nose! The truth on this needs to come out, and anyone involved be they dem or repug they need to be accountable for their part in this.

10. So if the Democrats win in 2008, can they declasify it through the AG? /nt

2. Waxman has been busy

Looking at the number of hormone shots that were placed on a baseball player's butt.

He is aware of the case but has done nothing I know of so far.
The late Congressman Lantos is mentioned as a co-conspirator in the translations,
I think that might have something to do with it.

11. Watch Waxman in this youtube video

state that he has no intentions into holding hearing in this matter. This came in response to someone in the audience asking when he proposed to hold hearings into the Sibel Edmonds case. This was video from a town hall meeting held in Santa Monica CA. It's around the 5:20 mark in the video. Right at the end of the clip he is confronted again about Sibel's damning testimony, but he just scurries away and makes it very obvious that, for whatever reason, he doesn't want to hear anything more about it or have to commit himself to do anything about it.

Hey Sibel, if you are reading this, how about shooting up some steroids then maybe you'll get a chance to appear before a congressional hearing.

6. We have weak kneed Dems in office....

Besides every turn will be blocked by the administration, the justice department, and the Republicans. This country has lost all control to GW Bush and the criminals he has put in place every where. We need drastic change and the public is about a sleep as you can get. I find it very strange how people don't even mention anything about this government in general.

8. I think some of them are probably part of it.. The scandal involves a lot

of high ups.. They are complacent as always on this issue.
