re: #97 Teh Flowah
That doesn’t indicate blackmail at all.
The speculation just seems so out of place for a blog that likes evidence and proof and skepticism of unsupported claims. Show me one little thing that points to blackmail, not just something you find “fishy”.
In order to get a TS clearance the gov’t inspectors only care about the possibility of blackmail, that’s my standard. You need evidence for a conviction not to ask questions.
How can you not be skeptical about a persons reasoning when they do a complete 180 and the facts on the ground didn’t changed in the slightest? I’m more than a little skeptical about his honesty for more than just the apparent reasons, I’m skeptical about his sense of honor and, I’m skeptical about his sense of decency. I think the question of blackmail is entirely legitimate. He’s never given a decent answer to his change of heart regarding Saddam’s WMD’s and instead took money to stand next to him.
