Here’s a must-read and very though provoking article about Harman’s behavior this year written by Clarice Feldman of The American Thinker.

http://americanthinker.com/articles.php?article_id=5966

She takes a very analytical view and basically comes to the same conclusion as my gut reaction, which you see in the second comment above.

It probably won’t.

This other thing? I have no idea. About to read it now. Again, it’s where the facts take us that count.

I agree with you that she’s about as good a Democrat as they’ve got. A bit naive, but not patently anti-American pro-enemy (like Ted Kennedy with his 1983 Yuri Andropov letter reported at HotAir.com, FloppingAces.net, Cybercast News Service, etc.)… but, well, if she leaked this then she leaked this.

I don’t have any reason at this time to believe that it’s true, but if the Chairman asked her staffer to step aside he probably had some reason for this whether it pans out or not. It would make sense to investigate Harman too.

Let’s see where this goes.

“…one big happy family…”

Yup! Also this:

Counsel on Foreign Relations -

George Stephanopoulis, Arthur Ochs (Pinch) Sulzberger (NYT), Katrina Vander Heuvel (The Nation), Jamie S. Gorelick (9/11 Commission), LARRY HANAUER, Thomas H. Kean (9/11 Commission), Joe Klein (Newsweek), Madeleine Korbel Albright, Samuel Richard (Sandy) Berger, James Earl Carter Jr. (ex-President), Wesley Kanne Clark (ex-Gen), William Jefferson Clinton (ex-President), Ruth Bader Ginsberg (Supreme Court Justice), Lee H. Hamilton (9/11 Commission), JANE HARMAN (D ranking member House Intelligence CA), Vernon Eulion Jordan, Jr., John Forbes Kerry (D-MA), George Stanley McGovern, GEORGE SOROS, Kenneth Ross (Human Rights Watch), John D. Rockefeller IV (D-WV), Charles B. Rangel (D-NY), the list goes on for several pages….

So Pinch Sulzberger owner of the New York Times, Larry Hanauer, AND Jane Harman are on this list…along with GEORGE SOROS? So why would press people belong to a foreign relations think tank…if not to make connections in that community as well as in the intelligence community? And what is SOROS doing on this list?

Is conventional wisdom wrong, again?

Or simply more communist Pablum for the masses … uncooked of course

And another non-surprise. We have known for years about the ongoing attempts in our MSM and on the left side of the aisle to leak anything damaging to this President and to the Republicans. Security clearences be damned. Now comes news yesterday tha…

I found this article titled:
KIDS ARE PESSIMISTIC ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT: ‘EVERYBODY’ AT FAULT PR
Newswire April 21, 1992, Tuesday

At the end, it says

CONTACT: Larry Hanauer of Burson-Marsteller, 212-614-5048, for Arm & Hammer

A search on Google for Burson-Marsteller reveals a NYC PR firm.

The post by Left by topsecretk9@AJ that linked to SourceWatch didn’t mention Burson-Marsteller. I wonder why??

Quote:
History of Burson-Marsteller
In late January 1952, sitting in my small office in the New York Daily News Building, I received a telephone call that changed my life. Harry Leather, a close friend at The New York Times, called to alert me that he had recommended our firm to a Bill Marsteller, owner of an industrial advertising agency in Chicago and Pittsburgh. Marsteller needed a small public relations firm to handle a project for his agency’s largest client, Rockwell Manufacturing Company (now Rockwell International). Rockwell wanted to publicize that its chairman, W.F. (Al) Rockwell Jr., had purchased a helicopter for executive travel – a first.

Eager to add a distinguished name to our client roster, I telephoned Bill Marsteller and said I would be in Chicago the following week. Marsteller was struck by the unqualified recommendations from both Leather and another friend at The New York Times. And though I had already planned to be in Chicago that next week, throughout our subsequent near-40-year association, Bill Marsteller told friends how impressed he was that I “dropped everything and got on a train to Chicago to make a new business call.”

So the PR firm that Larry Hanauer just happened to work for was founded by not one, but two referrals from The New York Times.

Just one big happy family, aren’t they??

I found the following:

So I searched Google for Burson-Marsteller and discover that they are a PR firm in New York. So the leaker worked for a major New York PR Firm, yet there doesn’t seem to even be a mention of it in the post from SourceWatch posted by topsecretk9@AJ. Seems odd unless there is a reason for hiding this relationship.

So the New York PR firm where Larry Hanauer worked was founded by two people who were introduced to each other, not once but twice, by mutual friends at The New York Times.

One big happy family it seems!!
