I have spent most of time today looking into the telecom companies’ campaign contributions to Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. I touched briefly on this a few days ago, and the numbers were high then. Well they get substantially higher.
The New York Times ran an article today about Rockefeller’s contributions and the potential influence, but the Times’ information is limited and the amounts pale in comparison to what I have found thus far in my research.
Stay tuned for more info…

The prescient musings of Tom Gross.
They are super-mean about them now, but maybe, just maybe, one day peaceniks in America and Europe will recognize George W. Bush and Dick Cheney as the men who prevented World War Three.
How quaint. The Sage speaks. The world listens.
So, Bush and Cheney are being “super-mean about them now.” Mr. Gross seems to posit that being “super-mean” is an exception rather than the norm? When, precisely, had Dick Cheney been anything but mean? And how does Mr. Gross define mean? Is “mean” sticking their tongues out at Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or is mean intentionally leaking classified information with the specific intention of destroying the careers and damaging the lives of CIA operatives? Or maybe, being mean is nothing more than telling Sen. Patrick Leahy in the Senate Chamber to go f*** himself?
And as for those Far-Left Terrorist-Sympathizing Peaceniks, they are undeniably wrong about the Men of Peace — Bush and Cheney. Only peace-seeking men, not warmongers, would have developed the plans in 2006 to drop nuclear bunker-buster B61-11 bombs on Natanz and other locations in Iran.
Sy Hersh recently reported a perfect example of Dick Cheney’s peace-making plans.
At a White House meeting with Cheney this summer, according to a former senior intelligence official, it was agreed that, if limited strikes on Iran were carried out, the Administration could fend off criticism by arguing that they were a defensive action to save soldiers in Iraq. If Democrats objected, the Administration could say, “Bill Clinton did the same thing; he conducted limited strikes in Afghanistan, the Sudan, and in Baghdad to protect American lives.” The former intelligence official added, “There is a desperate effort by Cheney et al. to bring military action to Iran as soon as possible.
I don’t believe the peaceniks are the only ones smoking weed.
