IOW the leakers are PO'd beaureaukratz who are in a snit for not being in on the BigWigs meetings. If this is the case, they should be summarily executed on national TV........

The principals: Rumsfeld, Cheney Tenet and Rice were meeting constantly, setting policy and never allowing the experts, the people who understand the region to have a say." Cooed Katie: "You suggest there was a lot of power-grabbing going on." "Yes," responded Risen, only too happy to concur. Bush, Rummy, Rice, et al wouldn't have had to do so much "power-grabbing" if Clinton hadn't been doing so much ASS-GRABBING the previous decade.

"the checks and balances that normally keep American foreign policy and national security policy toward the center kind of broke down."
Since when is national security a left/right issue. No wonder they are disgruntled, they don't like the partisan tilt needed to protect the US.

Risen was quick to claim that this was "the complete opposite of the Plame case." Laws were actually broken this time.

Can we get a rim-shot, please? ;-)
To: governsleastgovernsbest
Risen seemed clearly to tip his hand to the fact that the leakers were disgruntled career employees. Next, on 'Civil Servants Gone Wild,' these State Department Party Animals tell what goes on behind closed doors!

Time and again, Risen defended his sources as having the "purest" and "best" motives, springing entirely for their concern for the rule of law. They were sooooooooooooooo concerned for the "rule of law" that they would LEAK highly classified national security informtion about phone calls from terrorists
BULL!!
I want names .. who are they !!!

Before these experts are put on these shows they are asked for source verification which would mean that now the Today Show knows something about the leaker and should be subpoenaed to answer what Risen told them. If they don't tell then one of them has to go to jail too.

"
"Power-grabbing?" How is the exercise of power by the people the president explicitly put in charge of foreign and national security policy a "grab"? Only in the minds of the liberal establishment, who believe that power rightly resides with the career 'wets' in State and the intelligence agencies."
Why if one didn't know better, one would believe that the enemy Democrat Party would subscribe to a permanent elitist class of "civil servants" running the country and thus do away with the cumbersome office of president.
At least until they can figure out how to get back in that office.

"a cabal between the vice president of the United States, Richard Cheney, and the secretary of defense, Donald Rumsfeld, on critical issues that made decisions that the bureaucracy did not know were being made.''WHAT?? You mean the people at the top were actually making decisions without your permission?? OMG!! This is outrageous! The leaders are actually... leading!!
Well, you can't blame some of them for being shocked. They've never seen that done before.

"at the origin of this leak were career employees, disgruntled at being shut out of the center of the action by appointed officials."During time of war, traitors are executed.

"Never allowing the experts, the people who understand the region to have a say."
The condescension of Risen and the career employees whose case he pleads is breathtaking.
These people "understand the region" so well that over the course of the presidencies they let Iran and Afghanistan fall to murderous mullahs, and let Al-Qaeda run rampant, leading to 9/11.
To: Mo1
Knight Ridder is trying to claim that the leaker would have to know that giving the information was against the law before it is illegal. That is a BS defense because the leaker must have signed nondisclosure agreements and would have no doubt the info is classified and illegal to disseminate. MSM circling the wagons.

OMG! Who in the hell does he think he's kidding? I'm so sick of these black-souled Bush-haters. "Pure" motives that spring entirely from their concern for the rule of law??? Give me a friggin' break.
How long do we have to wait for some heads to start rolling? I want these "pure" traitors' names NOW!
