Claudia needs to write a book. It needs space to be laid out completely. It would be a best seller. Roger, you talk to her, if she hasn't started give her a nudge. This will just fade away without it. Kevin Peters Roger:

In the CBS case, their panel's own document expert (at the ground level, so to speak) states categorically that the documents couldn't have been produced on any typewriter known to exist in 1973 and furthermore that examination of them shows that they were actually produced on a computer. Yet, on the way to issuing the report, the "fog" descends and when the report comes out from the top it fails to draw the same conclusion, for no apparent reason. Suddenly, whether the documents are real or fake can't be determined. Hogwash!

But somewhere between the Volcker committee’s labors on the ground and the conclusions of the three commissioners at the top–former Fed chairman Volcker, South African justice Richard Goldstone, and Swiss lawyer Mark Pieth–a fog descends.

The award will not be worth having, because it is obviously not an award for the best investigative journalism.

His motives for throwing his good name away are certainly worth investigating. I think it's obvious, however, that the die was cast when he took the job--he's not now going say anything exculpatory.

The ultimate goal is to protect the big Canadian money. BNP Paribus, Power Corp., the Desmarais clan - Volcker's pals. Place an ex CSIS head (Canadian CIA) at his side, Reid Morden, for spy smarts. Throw out to the public some small fish taking kick backs, like Annan, stretch it out over time. No investigation of why the Food for oil funds were switched to BNP Paribas for banking. No investigation of the companies who profitted and where the money went. Just throw out some highly visible names like Annan. Only hope comes from the American side. When I see an indictment of Maurice Strong I'll think progress is being made. Volcker’s game is going as planned. The ultimate goal is to protect the big Canadian money.

I have tried to keep up with this story and find it hazardous to my health-as in blood pressure rising... Claudia Rosett-deserves better. So one day she will get her man-but only in the history books? Completely frustrating. I have tried to keep up with this story and find it hazardous to my health-as in blood pressure rising…

Claudia Rosett-deserves better.

So one day she will get her man-but only in the history books?

So people just kind of yawn and let it go. Henry Hyde is another matter. He is going to retire soon and I have no doubt that old conservative would like nothing better than to make putting the UN in its place one of his last duties.
