The situation is getting much worse, says Woodward, despite what the
White House and the Pentagon are saying in public. "The truth is that
the assessment by intelligence experts is that next year, 2007, is
going to get worse and, in public, you have the president and you have
the Pentagon [saying], ‘Oh, no, things are going to get better,‘" he
tells Wallace. "Now there’s public, and then there’s private. But what
did they do with the private? They stamp it secret. No one is supposed
to know," says Woodward.

Ex-Klansman Robert Byrd, the senior senator from West Virginia, casually
used the phrase "white *****" twice on national TV this weekend.
Enraged civil rights groups organized a protest campaign against Sen.
Byrd and demanded that he undergo sensitivity training ... not.
The ex-Klansman, you see, is a Democrat. Democrats can join hate groups
and utter the ugliest racial slurs and get away with it because they are
Democrats. They belong to the party of racial tolerance and
understanding. They're paragons of virtue, and the rest of us are
bigoted rubes.
The ex-Klansman showed his true colors when asked by Fox News Sunday
morning talk show host Tony Snow about the state of race relations in
America. Sen. Byrd warned: "There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of
white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to
work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon
quit talking about it so much."
The ex-Klansman, famed for Beltway blowhardism, should have quit talking
a lot sooner. Why any prominent politician in his right mind would
publicly and deliberately use the poisonous epithet "*****" -- which
most daily newspapers refuse to spell out, no matter the context -- is
beyond comprehension. It's an open question as to whether the
rant-prone, 83-year-old Byrd is even in his right mind, but senility
doesn't excuse bigotry.
The ex-Klansman's admirers praise his historical knowledge, mastery of
procedural rules, and outspokenness. They refer to the Senate's senior
Democrat as the "conscience of the Senate." They downplay his
white-sheet-wearing days as a "brief mistake" -- as if joining the Klan
were like knocking over a glass of water. Oopsy.
This ex-Klansman wasn't just a passive member of the nation's most
notorious hate group. According to news accounts and biographical
information, Sen. Byrd was a "Kleagle" -- an official recruiter who
signed up members for $10 a head. He said he joined because it "offered
excitement" and because the Klan was an "effective force" in "promoting
traditional American values." Nothing like the thrill of gathering
'round a midnight bonfire, roasting s'mores, tying nooses, and promoting
white supremacy with a bunch of your hooded friends.
The ex-Klansman allegedly ended his ties with the group in 1943. He may
have stopped paying dues, but he continued to pay homage to the KKK.
Republicans in West Virginia discovered a letter Sen. Byrd had written
to the Imperial Wizard of the KKK three years after he says he abandoned
the group. He wrote: "The Klan is needed today as never before and I am
anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia" and "in every state in
the Union."
The ex-Klansman later filibustered the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act --
supported by a majority of those "mean-spirited" Republicans -- for more
than 14 hours. He also opposed the nominations of the Supreme Court's
two black justices, liberal Thurgood Marshall and conservative Clarence
Thomas. In fact, the ex-Klansman had the gall to accuse Justice Thomas
of "injecting racism" into the Senate hearings. Meanwhile, author Graham
Smith recently discovered another letter Sen. Byrd wrote after he quit
the KKK, this time attacking desegregation of the armed forces.
The ex-Klansman vowed never to fight "with a Negro by my side. Rather I
should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt
never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become
degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the
wilds."

Hey, there's nothing left. Perhaps you should try arguing against what
was posted, not the lies you want to inject.
