Head over to ObWings and do what Katherine says. I don’t know whether Specter is trying to weasel out of his shiny new verb but regardless this seems like a positive development.
Back when the awful Specter bill first came out I called his office in Pittsburgh and asked him to stop being such a tool. Mostly I did it because as a constituent it seemed like Specter has a right to know when he pisses me off, not because it would make any difference.
Looks like he listened to me, at least a little bit. Guess I should call more often.
***Update***
As long as I am exercising my authoritah, go do what Josh says also. Even if they black-marker every word other than if, and and but I want to see that NIE for myself.

Man. Sometimes I wish we had audio commentary. My impression of Cartman’s “I am a cop, and you will respect mah authoritah!” is not to be missed.
Oh well.

Great of you to push this, Tim F. Everyone should be for releasing the NIE.

Specter was a group in a movie.
So, ws he a spy like Plame?

For this alone the Republicans should be driven from power.
Spend the next six weeks on issues like this rather than Guantanamo and we might just have the goods this time. Make them explain where the money went and why we aren’t ready for this war, or the one over the horizon.
Making do

My God, what a disgrace.

Oh, yes, please release the NIE.
I remember when they released the August Memo, too, and it said nothing like what the leak-based news articles had implied.

Egad.
It sounds like Mel Gibson is right. Human sacrifice is probably not the best way to describe this — might as well just call this murder.
