Just sent the pdf to a lib friend. I expect to get back a screeching denunciation of Bush tomorrow without any reference to this.
Waste of time, I know. But it is fun to push his button now and then. Very predictible response.
Thanks for posting this. A very illuminating piece (as in shining a light on cockroaches) containing several facts I was not aware of until now. I can definitely put this to some good use.
Not to nit pick, but there is not a Ritz Carlton in London. There is a The Ritz, while they partner with the Marriott chain, but it is neither owned nor managed by them, nor does it have Carlton as part of the name.
2004 : (LEAKS BY DURBIN, ROCKEFELLER & WYDEN CONCERNING A CIA SATELLITE PROGRAM - See MISTY?) The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into whether Democratic Senators Dick Durbin, Jay Rockefeller and Ron Wyden leaked details about a secret "black ops" CIA satellite program last December in a move that may have seriously compromised national security, former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense Jed Babbin said on Saturday.
"The CIA made a request to the Justice Department to investigate and possibly bring criminal charges against these three [senators]," Babbin told WABC Radio host Monica Crowley. "My information is that investigation is ongoing."
Mr. Rockefeller is the Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and Mr. Durbin is the number two ranking Democrat in the Senate.
Media reports on the satellite leak last December indicated that the Bush administration was concerned about public comments by Durbin, Rockefeller and Wyden and that the CIA had requested a Justice Department probe.
"The formal request for a leaks investigation would target people who described sensitive details about a new generation of spy satellites to The Washington Post, which published a page-one story about the espionage program Saturday [Dec. 11, 2004]," a Justice Department official told the Associated Press at the time.
But the same official told the AP that Justice "has not decided whether to investigate."
Former Deputy Undersecretary Babbin's comments on Saturday were the first indication that such a probe was actually launched and is ongoing.
"The fact of the matter is that [Durbin, Rockefeller and Wyden] divulged something that was above and beyond top secret and frankly, they probably blew the strategy and the hundreds of millions of dollars that were being spent to pursue it," he told Crowley.
"The acknowledgement of [the "black ops" program's] existence is not even proper and the acknowledgement of them and the details of them can very well damage national security," Babbin added.
Asked if he thought the three Senate Democrats should have their security clearances revoked for the duration of the leak probe, the former Defense Department official said, "Absolutely and forthwith. I mean, they should have been revoked at the time of the leak."
"There's really not much doubt about the leak having occurred," Babbin told Crowley. "It's in the press records, it's in the Congressional record. We know what they did." "The only question," he explained, "is how much damage was done by the leak. And that's part of the criminal investigation right now - to do a damage assessment, to figure out how much this is going to cost us strategically and militarily." --------- "Report: Justice Department Probing Durbin, Rockefeller CIA Leak," by Carl Limbacher, NewsMax, 7/23/05 , http:/newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/7/23/131312.shtml
Devastating!
That's one point. Another point is to make public what they'd like to keep secret.
That is clintonian. bill once claimed, "I never told anybody to lie, not a single time." He was telling us that he asked everybody to lie at every opportunity. If Moore has two or more shares of stock, then he is not lying when he says doesn't own a single share of stock.
Ping!
I am both pleased and disgusted at the same time
Whose food brand profits are donated to a charity called the "Sierra Club"?
Click and drag your mouse on this sentence for the answer, if you don't already know.: Paul Newman. BTW, since when is the "Sierra Club" a charity?!?!
All of liberalism is a huge sham. It's all lies from top to bottom. Only ignorant suckers stay shackled to liberalism. These rich elitists aren't really liberals at heart, they just hate conservatives.
ping to save
