I tried to get a
copyfrom CNN, to no avail. Indeed, I got no response! On October 18, 2006, I filed two FOIA requests with the Dept. of
Defense--one for the transcript and a second for "...all documents applying or relating to Lou Dobbs' interview of Peter Pace,
Chairman of the JCS,...including its publication or the terms and conditions of such interview." I finally got a reply on January 8, 2007,
that "no recordsresponsive to either request were found." Sure. Now, I know that I can't trust the results of any FOIA request. These
people areabove the law! They are in the "reality making" business, rather than "defense" or 'governance."
BTW, Pace adamantly insisted that we must get out of Iraq, immediately, or our military and economy will collapse. He
saidthat we do not have the money, equipment, nor manpower to stay much longer without very dire consequences on all fronts. Dobbs showed him a page from some military manual discussing the French experience getting bogged down in Spain and exhausting its military, emptying its treasury, and losing its empire. Pace said there were differences with our situation, but that we were in danger of the same result.
