She is engaging in DU patter with an annonymous writer. It is good in a way because you can see what a nasty condescending character she is.

Just ran across this:

http://www.instapundit.com/

 --The story now has everyone's attention due to the Mary O. McCarthy story. It blasted out the headline: CIA Holds Terror Suspects in Secret Prisons!--  DAN RIEHL says that Dana Priest was channeling 2002 in 2005.   As I said in an earlier post on the issue: let's go back to the start.  Also keep in mind that many countries and the EU have investigated this and claim there were no such international facilities. Whether that is true or not is debatable. But the WaPo entirely ignored, not only their own 2002 story but any subsequent criticism and denial, as well. The Thai PM also called for a retraction in late 2005, which went largely unnoticed by the MSM in the US.  And just as a matter of curiosity, why is it that the above article is no longer available at the Washington Post on line? Archiving, most likely. At least I hope so. Fortunately, a web site archived the article, as did others -

After all the Lies, Distortions, Deception, and now Treasonist writings of the reporters have been discovered and exposed, time and time again, why do they still do it?

Because they have to for themselves. They have to keep THEIR world view in perspective no matter what the facts. The WP and NYT are for the writers to read, not the general public.

This exchange indicates to me a level of arrogance by someone who feels that she is protected. Why would she feel like this?

I can only believe that there are large numbers of influential people who are in on this, and they think they can win. I pray they are wrong.

She works for the Washington Post and she won a Pulitzer.

I would think she feels invincible with that kind of protection.

Rockville, Md.: I'm surprised this hasn't been asked yet, but can you comment on the Ms. McCarthy story?

Dana Priest: No, I cannot. Sorry.

The above exchange is very telling. Earlier, she defends betraying the country by stating the publics right to know. Now, when a member of the public wants to know something specific, she will not or believes she cannot answer. Sort of like having a piece of cake and getting to eat it. These people are vermin who should be tried for treason. I see no difference in what they did and what the Rosenbergs did. If the Nixon administration had gone after these bastards in a legal fashion - Pentagon Papers come to mind - maybe these traitorous scum would not be so bold today.

In this sense, his views run contrary to the framers of the Constitution who believed a free press was essential to maintaining not just a democracy, but a strong, vibrant democracy in which major policy is questions are debated in the open.

Uh, Dana - the Framers didn't believe in democracy.

That's why they created a representative Republic, you treasonous commie bee-atch. ;-)

She and her communist husband are perfect examples of the arrogant, elitist, effete, anti-American liberals. If there were any rreal Americans still left in this country we'd catch her in dark alley and brand her with a hammer and sickle!

Most journalists would sell their Mothers in the Sudan for a news story.

Never trust a journalist.They work in a sewer to see their name in print. Lower than lawyers if thats posible.
