Senators Butt Heads with FBI Over Jack Anderson's Papers, and a New Detail Slips Out

http://chronicle.com/free/2006/06/2006060702n.htm

The Senate Judiciary Committee quizzed Federal Bureau of Investigation officials about their interest in the papers of the late muckraking journalist Jack Anderson, which are now held at George Washington University, at a hearing on Tuesday. The session had its share of fireworks, with senators butting heads with a Department of Justice official.

Although the topic was never mentioned aloud at the hearing, the printed testimony says that the FBI's interest in the Anderson archive may have been spurred by a tip from a former Anderson assistant who Mr. Feldstein says was once imprisoned for child sodomy. Mr Feldstein says he told FBI agents this and that the man had admitted having a history of mental illness and fabricating stories.

In his testimony, Mr. Feldstein writes that when FBI agents visited him, they named the former Anderson assistant. They "implied," Mr. Feldstein says, that the assistant had told them that Jack Anderson collected secret documents related to a current espionage case against two pro-Israel lobbyists.

Recently, the FBI sought access to the Anderson archive to find those documents. The agency has also said it wanted to review the entire archive and remove any documents deemed confidential. The FBI's request has outraged journalists, librarians, and historians who believe that granting it would compromise the identity of sources and the integrity of the archive. Anderson, who died in December at age 83, wrote a syndicated column called "Washington Merry-Go-Round" from 1969 until 2004.

more. Very interesting.

1. Doesn't it seem that the entire group running this WH circus and war are

kids? Juveniles? I think of Gonzales, Rusmfeld, Cheney, Bolton and many, many more as children. Especially Rove. And, of course, the juvenile self-proclaimed juvenile order giver and revenge dispenser - George.

They are exactly like juveniles who lie, manipulate, and go against the rules and the law and cannot conceive of consequences.

We are being run by misguided and know-it-all juveniles. All the signs and characteristics (and outcomes) are there.

Whether it's concocting the war story, convincing people to give up their kids, maintaining the lie, excusing the lies, getting others to lie, committing crimes to fund their lies - it's all there. Juveniles are killing and asking us to support them in their killing. Juveniles are stealing and asking us to forgive them by giving them more.

It is one unvelievably huge juvenile playgrround with juveniles teaching other juveniles how to do it and takeover from them.

Is it ever going to stop?

3. I think of the Republican government as a cult.
Neocon blind followers are now in place in every agency, every branch of government. They control elections through business deals and cheating. They have 20 some agencies dedicated to spying on us. They control the media spin and who and what gets reported or distorted.

With the Jack Anderson papers they are trying to hide more broken laws from public view.

It seems rather hopeless at times.
