Today Show/NewsBusters bad-moon-Risen ping.
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 !!!
Puke time as Risen identified his leakers as "patriots".
And just like tar baby, Risen don't know nuthin bout no NYT decision to hold the story for over a year till his book is ready for publication. "Above your paygrade?", Katie suggested. Risen appreciated Katie's response by nodding in agreement, and he must have liked it even better when Katie equated his dodge to one Norman Schwartz often used.
Today on IMUS, Howard Fineman gave a legitimate reason why TNYT covered Risen's revelations at this particular time. Fineman told Imus it was because the Times was tired of getting scooped by their own reporters, and they published book excerpts before the book was published so that wouldn't happen this time. (buncha bull)
The motive - disgruntled careerists - is entirely plausible. I wonder about the timing...Maybe Porter Goss is starting to smoke these weasels out of the bushes, and that's why the leaks are coming fast and furious?
