REQUEST of SusanG
Checking in
Folks, sorry to be so absent today ... I'm doing a lot of organizational stuff behind the scenes to make it easier to handle all the great information you're turning up.
If everyone is okay with a long thread, I'd like to put off posting another official Plame & Propagannon diary until tomorrow.
If the length is killing you, why don't one of you set up a diary called "Plame & Propagannon Chat" or something like that. In the body of the main diary text of that, I'd mention Gannon's radio stuff today AND make sure you alert people doing research about the VIRUS ALERT stuff talked about up above.
I've set up a new email account for myself just for this project and I'll be contacting various Kossacks about their projects. "From SusanG" will be in the subject line.
You guys are awesome! Thanks for all your help! by SusanG
Is dKos job well done?
WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT & More to come ...
SusanG mentioned in her diary XI:

Scotty also has some major explaining to do regarding Gannon's privileged status via White House fax machine:

It's not on their website yet. because I am a White House reporter, it was emailed to me as a pdf file. It clearly shows what frauds the Dems on the 9/11 Commission are.

Volunteers
Finally done with morning errands, I will be working on organizing the volunteer info the rest of today. I've started by posting a quick diary (I'll update it as I gather my info).
Volunteer Diary
Anyone who needs help with their project/assignment or who wants to volunteer please post there. Thanks SusanG. Just trying to organize the volunteers/assignments is making my head spin a little, I don't know how you did it with everything else.

Plame & PropaGannon: Scotty! 'Fess Up!:
Part XI by SusanG Thu Feb 3rd, 2005 at 01:39:53 EST
Come on, Scotty. Spill the beans. It's clear you know who Gannon is. Put an end to the speculation. Why play coy?
Just take a look at what was required from the OMB from anyone attending one of their wild and wooly press conferences in 2002:
ALL MEDIA MUST BE CLEARED IN TO ATTEND:
All media with or without White House Hard Passes must fax their
name, affiliation, Social Security number, and date of birth for clearance Wednesday, February 27, 2002, by 5:00 p.m. The fax number is 202-395-7298.
Please bring a government issued ID to check in with EEOB building security. Press credentials will not be acceptable forms of ID. Building security at EEOB's 17th and G Street entrance must clear you in by 9:45 a.m., at which time you will be escorted to the briefing in Room 248.
Face it, folks. Unless our friend Scotty is willing to argue that being in the same room as the President of the United States (and Scotty himself, incidentally) takes less security clearance than attending a gala snore press conference at the Office of Management and Budget, I think he's got egg on his face.
Or else we need to start investigating those terrorist-infiltrated, high-risk press conferences that focus on the deficit and federal funding allocation and all those mysterious (and in the case of this administration, clearly false) numbers that are announced periodically. I mean, something must be going on there, right?
I think not. I think Scotty's playing games.
Here's what he said in today's Boston Globe article:
McClellan said it is not the White House's role to decide who is and who is not a real journalist ...
I guess it's not their role to check if people are who they say they are, or if they have a criminal history of threats against the president, or if they've been convicted on weapons charges. I bet Gannon could even be packing his beloved Berreta under his jacket, they're such a well-known, free-wheeling, easygoing bunch at that White House, you know. Everything changed after 9/11, they said, but I didn't think it was in the "let's just let any old blogger with a two-day-old web site into the White House press corps" kind of way.
This is so patently ridiculous, it's outrun my snark.
Obviously Scotty knows, and I think he ought to just clear this up right away and ... "out" Gannon. This is a White House that, if nothing else, has proven it knows how to do it.
