bearing false witness

BOLTON
* clemons on bolton: "This fight is long from over. And I can tell everyone that more is coming down the pike -- and it's explosive." LINK

* did " Bolton falsified testimony prepared for Condi Rice"? LINK

* the economist slaps down bolton: "The confirmation hearings for George Bush's proposed ambassador to the United Nations have embarrassed the administration." LINK

* the thing about bolton & the AEI speech that seems to have slipped between the cracks is that people like bolton want to have a reason to attack cuba.

* " Bolton often blocked then-Secretary of State Colin L. Powell and, on one occasion, his successor, Condoleezza Rice, from receiving information vital to U.S. strategies on Iran, according to current and former officials who have worked with Bolton." LINK
what a piece of work this man is... go read the article... i guess the good news is that the confirmation process kinda works - but what it also shows is that people have been sitting on this type of information forever. where have the whistle-blowers been?

* "Last night, a woman named Melody Townsel came on the show to tell Sam a personal story of her bizarre and harassing run-in with John Bolton, George Bush's nominee to be U.N. Ambassador. The run-in took place in 1994, when Bolton worked for a private law firm. Melody has spoken with minority council to the Foreign Relations Committee, and may be called to testify next week. She suspects, unfortunately, that her expirience with John Bolton may not be unique." LINK
apparently bolton called her a fat dyke.
