Oh baby. First a cast of characters. Hugh Hewitt is a right-wing Christianist blowhard. He started as a speechwriter for Nixon, worked for the DOJ under Reagan and gives Conservative and Christian litmus tests to his radio show guests. Unlike Rush Limbaugh, Hewitt has held real jobs, is well educated, and may actually know how to formulate a correct thought. Not recently, probably, but give the devil his due.

General William Odom was the head of the NSA under Reagan. He has been openly critical of the Iraq war and the warrantless-wiretaps of the current NSA.

Odom wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post where he called for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq. Hewitt, needing to protect the hand that feeds him and the butter than adorns his bread, had Odom on his radio-show. Hewitt tried to slap Odom with the standard stupid talking points of the Fox-News/Cheney crapthink. Instead, Odom smacked Hewitt around so thoroughly that Hugh may actually be dead. Or he wishes he were.

Read the transcript. Read Every Word. Because if you oppose this corrupt government, the Iraq policy, the idiocy of the right-wing machine, then you can quote Odom over and over.

I don't know why every Democrat in Congress doesn't quote this interview. Odom should be brought into the Senate to address every committee, every day, until Cheney, Bush, Rice et al. are hounded from office with fury.

Please, read, enjoy, and use.
