Is It Time For A New Pentagon Papers?

Run Suskind has begun posting to the web the already famous documents obtained by former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, used in the preparation of their book The Price Of Loyalty.

Interestingly, Suskind is also soliciting other insiders to submit documents: "Those who wish to add documents to The Bush Files, can contact Ron Suskind through this site or send submissions to his private post office box."

The Pentagon Papers' leaker, Daniel Ellsberg, a week before the initiation of war in Iraq, "called on government officials to leak documents to Congress and the press showing the Bush administration is lying in building its case against Saddam Hussein."

Didn't happen then, but now that "chinks exposed in the White House armor" by O'Neill, Joseph Wilson, and to an extent George Tenet have put the Shrub "very much on the defensive" bringing an "every warrior for himself" atmosphere to the Administration; here's hoping that Suskind's offer will attract some takers.
