Did Hillary reveal who leaked report in her questioning of Rumsfeld today?

Senate Armed Services Committee ^ | 5/7/04 | Senate Armed Services committee

In today's testimony before the Armed Services Committee Hillary Clinton may have revealed the source of the leak of the report. Please have a look at the relevant snippets of the transcript from today.

I guess my theory is this: If she isn't behind the leak, she knows exactly who is.

[TomGuy]

Rumsfeld said several times that the leaking of the pictures (whoever leaked them) was illegal. So, apparently, they were considered classified.

[lavrenti]

As Hillary! would say: "Like, y'know...uh, I ... y'know... got myself exposed a little in this matter, like, y'know."

She's never the sharpest tool in the box. Today proved it.

[abner]

how are we going to find out who leaked it? this only goes anywhere if an actual person is attached to it. to just say "it was leaked" is not going to be a story.

I don't know. I do know that she should be asked about her statements though. It's the seriousness of the charge that matters here. ;-)

I thought they were both leaked, but separately. Seymour Hersch got a copy of the Taguba Report, which is about an ongoing criminal investigation.

CBS got the pictures, before the Generals and Rummy ever saw them.

Sounds like whoever passed these two items on chose carefully in deciding to whom to give them, and how to break them so they do the most damage.

The Taguba report didn't even include the photos, they were deemed so sensitive, according the Hersch article, so they had to be gotten from deeper in the investigation.

Oh man, Hillary stepped in this one but good! (/maniacal laughter)

and by dang we'll all pay for it. They'll work this war into a tragedy and run on it.Like most every incident.

Myers was very clear (except in the one instance I cited) in drawing a clear distinction between the report that was released and the pictures

I taped the hearing, so I'll have to watch it again .. I'm started to get confused

[lavrenti]

Bought a super-8 and reenacted favorite moments and had to beg Reagan's Navy Sec. to upgrade one.

I loved how Rumsfeld scared her. She probably hasn't been that intimidated by a man since her mean Daddy tossed softballs at her in Grant Park all those years ago.

I just don't see the mainstream media going anywhere with this angle. Talk radio will, but no one else will touch it.

There are far too many Clinton leftovers!

President Bush had best get rid of them ALL...in his next term.

[TomGuy]

Even I wouldn't go that far.

Yeh, and you wouldn't go for a stroll with her in Fort Marcy Park either, would you.

lol.

But she's the Smartest Woman in the World™! And wasn't she wearing her glasses today? (I admit that when her turn to screech came up, I hit Mute and listened to my brand new Prince CD. OK, feel free to mock me!)

[tbird1]

Hilliary will not have the slightest memory of seeing that report by tomorrow. "I just can't remember--it is just a foggy area that I don't recall"

As was the report .. maybe that is where I'm getting confused at

[A Citizen Reporter]

You make a good point, and I'm not sure I can answer. Clinton referred to the Tuguba report, and to be honest today was the first time that I'd heard of it. She said it was a well known report. (a link on this thread earlier had Seymour Hersch as the one who broke the story on Tuguba, on 4/30, but I have no idea if that is right or not.) Rummy challenged her on the "well known report".

Having watched many hours of the hearings today, my take is: the story is in the pictures and how they got distributed. I hope we will eventually know.

[abner]

Yes. Way too many.

Heh, heh... No, I wouldn't.

[pinz-n-needlez]

lol

Remember, she tried? But the Marines said her eyes were too bad, or was it that she was a girl? Maybe it was just that they didn't have any boots to fit her ankles.

I need to call it a night or I'm going to start making irresponsible comments. =:-0

Well, considering that she intimidates most men, that was something else. ;)

Hey, my dad used to toss softballs at me! Was that wrong?!

[nopardons]

I don't know why he kept them on,other than the fact that he had far less time to prepare to take over,due to the algore/election mess.

We need to send him brooms,after his next Inauguration.
