Hoekstra has fed Joe Klein restricted information from his access within the Intelligence Committee

http://thinkprogress.org/2007/…..joe-klein/

Of course, is it “classified” if it is so factually in error that it only resembles the actual presentation superficially?

Then there was Hoekstra’s assertions about Iran’s active nuclear weapons programs, supposedly based upon secret information presented in the Intelligence Committee, which turned out to be diametrically opposed to the NIE released a year later by the Intelligence Community.

His assertions that “Plame was not covert….” while blocking the Intelligence Committee’s entire report on the WH leaks. His efforts to block the release (with Roberts of Kansas) the Phase II report on the “use of intelligence on Iraqi WMD’s by the WH before the Iraq War”…his manipulations of intelligence data from the public are replete.

But these ended up on-line where any Arab-speaking terrorist could have easily gained access to them, even when the objective evidence showed that Saddam had never used these.

Here he goes again! I think that there are many other cases of this guy blabbing or revealing secrets (or distorting what he claimed were secrets) for partisan reasons.

But, judging by these posts, he’s right out in the open. Michigan was stupid enough to elect Engler twice, and voted for that shameful ban on gay marriage; so I suppose we must consider it to be in play.

But I’m hoping Barack can do enough good things to keep us Deep Blue.

I am keeping an eye on Howard Kaloogian. Howard Kaloogian grew up in Michigan but he lives in the San Diego area. He was in the CA state assembly and unsuccessfully ran for Duke Cunningham’s old seat. Kaloogian is the one who posted that picture of lovely, peaceful downtown Baghdad on his website that was sleuthed out by dkos bloggers and properly identified as a scene from an Istanbul, Turkey suburb.

Kaloogian chaired the Recall Gray Davis committee and is the founder and co-chairman of Move America Forward. Kaloogian seems to be the front man/ chief agitator. Behind the scenes Sal Russo of Russo, March & Russo is the money man (and probably brains) behind Kaloogian’s adventures. I just sortof intrigued by where and how they get all their money and how they spend it.

Their “Our country Deserves Better PAC” did a 14 day tour from Sacramento to Washington DC at the end of October. They were in MI for 3 days then went to Ohio for a day and zipped back to Michigan and then went from Michiganfor a day and from there travelled straight to DC for the final day. I am curious as to why they spent so much time in Michigan when it wasn’t a swing state in the election.

Things like this would be very entertaining, if it wasn’t for the fact that’s he’s one of the guys seemingly intent on destroying the republic.planet

better yet

So perhaps you – & Fearless Leader of course & any others with a good theory – can explain to us how in hell this complete whack job has been able to fool so many of those presumably mostly native white ‘ganders so thoroughly for so long. And maybe give us hope for the state’s future out of the next gubernatorial election.

And ditto randiego@1 — you could not make this up.
