McClellan testifies on C.I.A. leak

Wonderful to see a human being's conscience kick in; inspiring.

How will he go heart attack or suicide?

He'll probably "die in his sleep".

i think colonel mustard is gonna get him in the library with the candle stick!!!

Anyone think Bush is going to be the Hero Mclellan made him out to be or is Colonel Mustard going to get him i nthe library with the candle stick?

Just another example of how this president has betrayed his country and its laws. He belives if you tell a lie over and over it will become the truth and it does in the minds of the 29% who still support this moron.

I would have been more impressed with his testimony if he would have admitted bush's criminal nature. If you watched closely scott avoided any questions regarding the president's criminal involvement and labeled bush a naive and led-a-stray pawn of his accomplices. Scott if you want your revelations to be valued, call a spade a spade and bush a crook and liar!

He made some interesting comments about this administration's proficiency at avoiding scrutiny and accountability and about the need to return to civility, bypartisanship, and candor...also, the need to change the way our government operates, rather than the existing 'business as usual' system...one of candor, transparency, and integrity, not loyalty to a leader, but loyalty to the basic government (should be loyalty to the people)

I want to give the guy the benefit of the doubt and credit for standing up to the Capitol Hill riff-raff...Other than that, this sounded a bit like a book promotion...

Considering the methods available to these, our wayward leaders, the scathing criticism of this newborn 'pillar of society' could evolve into an excellerated and unavoidable quiet extinction...

Thanks, guys, for bringing this before the court of public scrutiny...

I still find it funny and a little sad that, through the Monica Lewinsky scandal and subsequent impeachment for lying about said scandal, many republicans did and continue to rage about his immorality and how his impeachment was necessary.

Granted, they're leaving office soon, but seriously: At what point does someone actually file criminal charges for acts that have not only been openly admitted to by the President and others, but touted as victories for our own good? So much apathy at the coming change of administration. How much will they get away with?

McClellan is safe - no body will mess with him. That's not how it works.

Good man, but I'll bet he could say a lot more than he has.

Edit: I heard a portion of his testimony and now feel the so called controversial book isn't a expose but an attempt to de-demonize the evil Busheney gang and their greedy motivations. It's a Rovarian / Cheney scheme attempting to gain sympathy for their pathologically criminal / treasonist ways.

I just find it hilarious that he has even conviced himself that he in fact "knows" all this information. He was not and never was privy to any of the information he seems to be divulging. He had no kind of high security clearance and was not invited to any meetings in which the kinds of things he is talking about would have been discussed. To be honest Bush, Rove, and Libby probably did not trust him that much. But I mean he was the press secretary and was not extremely important, he was not fed information to release because he obviously would not have released it if he knew it wasn't true and then be talking about it now. McClellan is just a disillusioned man who is looking for a little attention, that is why the White House is not taking him seriously and neither should anyone else.

I hope that he doesn't hang himself or commmitt suicide.

wow,i was on youtube and guess what I found No spin guy it the truth,OMG This is big it has to do with the new world order !! http://www.youtube.com/user/NufffRespect

Lets stop the lies

Well, at least he'll sell a lot of books...

sideshow distraction...

while the boys pulled another $162,000,000 for the war on terrorism...

and pushed through another bill allowing more circumstances for wiretaps without warrants...

and the house passed hr1955 while we slept..

watch democracy now monday morning...should be revealing to say the least...

He's not the first, won't be the last.

Can we arrest Dick Cheney and Karl Rove already?

Just kidding, I don't want to be carted off to Gitmo.

This thing about Valerie Plame being a "covert" CIA agent was investigated. It was determined that she was not a covert agent. Libby was not charged with outing her as she could not be outed. He was charged with lying to the FBI, a charge I find to be absurd on its fact.
From what I understand McClellen was not privy to many of the issues in the White House. He evidently did not want to get into the fine points of who knew what. Seemed he was happy not knowing.
McClellen also said in his testimony yesterday that he did not think Bush lied to go to Iraq. Given the Democrat stance on Saddams wmd this is a box that that side of the aisle should not open.
Personaly I think this is a continuation of George Soros and his attempts to influence political direction in this country. Soros is the owner of the publishing company that put out Scotts book. More and more Soros seems to be the puppet master behind the Dem party.
This whole "impeach Bush" movement going on for the past 8 years is a result of Clinton being impeached. Libs and dems have been trying to discredit Bush since he took office. As a result we have no action of Social Security, borders etc. Congress has been so wrapped up in sinking the Bush ship they dropped the ball on everything else. The anti Bush, anti republican or anti-conservative members on the Hill would rather see disaster and strife in this country than to see conservative, republican or Bush policies succeed.

Congress are no dummies. They scheduled his testimony on Friday, so it wouldn't be important by Monday. It's called the 'Friday News Dump'. Whatever they want to do, do it on Friday and by Monday it's 'OLD NEWS'. 'Nothing to see here, move along'! And we will.

Also, the telecom immunity, 'Friday News Dump'! 'OLD NEWS' by Monday.

'Oh well, they tried'? Everyone who believes that, stand on your head.

Sad, I think they all need to be replaced. There is really no difference between Democrat and Republican. Look at Lieberman, they switch at will. They are really inner-changeable.

.>>> If you watched closely scott avoided any questions regarding the president's criminal involvement and labeled bush a naive and led-a-stray pawn >>>


AH HA...This is it.
Like we will see BUSH as a led astray pawn.
No way.!!

THAT MAN is as culpable in this whole mess as Cheney and all the other warmongers sitting in that White House. He leaves a lasting legacy of LIES. Thanks Scott...but we already knew most of what you are telling us.
Those of us with brains anyway.

Holy shit. HOLY SHIT. He did it. He actually answered questions directly in front of Congress and didn't say his memory was "faulty."

renbyrd - makes you question his intentions doesn't it?

I heard a portion of his testimony and now feel the so called controversial book isn't a expose but an attempt to de-demonize the evil Busheney gang and their greedy motivations. It's a Rovarian / Cheney scheme attempting to gain sympathy for their pathologically criminal / treasonist ways.

There is absolutely NOTHING new in this book. The Senate Intelligence Committee has already investigated the use of intelligence and released their conclusions. They found no criminal wrongdoing or lying. The majority did make some assertions that concur with McClellan, but their conclusions are disputed by the Minority and are not always supported with fact.

The Plame leak stuff is really old news too. Again, no new ground is broken and McClellan really can't shed any light. Karl Rove and Dick Cheney gave testimony and neither has been charged criminally. All McClellan can give us is his sob story about being lied to. Neither Rove or Cheney was found to be the leaker after an extensive investigation. McClellan has given us no new facts that would warrant further investigation. I challenge any of you to prove otherwise.

Praratus, you couldn't be further from the truth...

You don't have to tell us your a right-wing tool...we know...you must be part of the new push to help steer the bush/cheney ship safely away from the impending impeachment storm...

McClellan's weak blithering idiocy is to no avail...either way...bush/cheney and the rest of the cabal have a lot to answer for...can you say Illuminati..?

plato im glad to hear that opinions other than your own are wrong nice job ruining your point with a weak smear tactic.

check this out your gonna love it

"The special prosecutor revealed that no crime was committed when her name was leaked because the guy who leaked it didn't know she was handling covert material. And the guy who was convicted — Libby — wasn't the guy who leaked it. So what difference does it make."

At least someone is speaking up about all this. I'm so sick and tired of this administration being allowed to run this country as their own personal corporation. As the people of a "democracy", we have a right to know what our leaders are up to behind closed doors.

Why is it so difficult to be forthright and honest in politics?

I think that's the way that washington is. People in the white say nothing while they are there, and then the minute they are gone, they write a book.

i think the same about him, as i do tony snow!! don't really like him and don't really buy into what he is talking about.

if you are an aide to the whitehouse, i think part of your duty should be to do what is right.

what kind of dignity would i have if i kept what i think to myself??

i don't know why all of you keep expecting something to come from all of this. His testimony was the weakest it could possibly be, and everything was less than hearsay

I watched this thing yesterday and I thought that Mac was keeping an awful lot under his hat. He still has a loyalty to GWB but hates Cheney and Rove which proves he has a heart because these two people are the meanest sobs the world has seen. They see a million people suffer and die with no conscience but look at their wallets with consternation.
We need a trial for treason not a hearing for impeachment.
