JonLP24 (18,888 posts) "24 business hours"I strongly suspect that Karl Rove to be indicted from TruthOut was due to an insider to deceive and give the impression it was about to happen to ridicule them for not turning to be accurate. I have a feeling anyway.

Dear Skinner When this story pans out, and all the little fish try to swim home, I am going to say "Sorry, you had the chance to stand with an ally, and instead, decided to say 'I find it very hard not to be skeptical.'"You could have asked. I would have gladly explained the inside sourcing that I cannot reveal publicly. I would have told you. Happily. I would have explained how Joseph Wilson independently verified a half dozen other sources, none of whom are connected. We had a guy **deleted**.I'd have told you, had you asked, because you are owed that much. But sadly, no. You threw me and Jason and truthout under the bus. Publicly, because you do not have the COURAGE to stand with someone who has stood with you. You couldn't even do it silently.This was a wheat-from-the-chaff moment, and you failed. You spend a good deal of time talking about standing strong, but you publicly ****ed one man who has stood stronger for you more than any other. Name for me please the New York Times and international best-selling book, translated into twelve languages, that thanks you and your site above anything else. First and foremost.There is one. Only one. Mine. Before my own mother, I thanked you.Yeah, yeah, we're 'ballsy' if we're right. But you made it 100% clear that you don't think we are. You could have asked. I'd have let you in. But no, you decided to cover your own ass.You're in the wrong business.I am disgusted.You are no better than the cretins who have taken control of your site.
My favorite Pitt-post from the Fitzmas debacle:http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1189621#1190730He deleted it a short time later, but the internet is forever.

Several suspect it was a deliberate smear.
....and I'm still waiting for those 24 business hours to be up.
Remember, it takes most DUmmies 10+ years to even work 24 business hours.

muriel_volestrangler (76,855 posts)103. I can't see the OP as an attack.The alert would have needed to explain carefully why they thought it was." to deceive and give the impression it was about to happen to ridicule them for not turning to be accurate"How can that mean anything other than a suggestion that they were set up?
merrily (23,287 posts)105. Sorry. Right now, I am grieving Will's departure.
Good times, good times.
WilliamPitt Donating Member (1000+ posts) Sun May-14-06 01:42 PM Original message I just got off the phone with Jason Leopold who clarified something for me that is pretty damned important. In his article, he said:"During the course of that meeting, Fitzgerald served attorneys for former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove with an indictment charging the embattled White House official with perjury and lying to investigators related to his role in the CIA leak case, and instructed one of the attorneys to tell Rove that he has 24 hours to get his affairs in order, high level sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said Saturday morning."In point of fact, those 24 hours are "business hours," i.e. starting on Monday."Jeez, Jason," I said, "we might want to put that into the essay. Half the planet thought 24 hours was 24 hours. They thought the deal would go down today."To be fair, a dozen eyes looked at that article yesterday before we published it, mine included, and none of us caught that. The word "business" has been inserted into the story after "hours" where it belongs:http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/051306W.shtml So. Monday at the very earliest, but more like Tuesday or Wednesday.I'm going to go take a nap and then go get drunk with some friends tonight. Dan's brother Ken, the airline pilot and all-around wild-man, is in town for the weekend. Gonna be the Linwood Cafe, and their Mojo from the nitrogen tap, and then around again to our usual gathering spot. I'd repeat everything I've said about Jason's multiple independent sources, about how the MSMs failure to pick this up sounds more like more of the same old shit than anything ominous, about how no hard paper or announcements or anything will come until, at a minimum, the government re-opens for business on Monday...but I've written it all already.The truth will out. It always does.Later, gators.
