Gertz seems to be sticking with it. I will take his word over anybody else in the media any day of the week.
Would that be the John Kerry integrity scale? I guess nobody told him…you have to turn it upside down for it to read correctly.

I've seen a few left/liberal conspiracy stories against the President and Republicans from the Washington Dispatch.
Destro, here are some comments made by Senator Kerry during the First Presidential Debate (link below). President Bush only had good things to say about Russia. And in the context of the current news, the President knows what is happening. If he has any issue, he will personally contact President Putin about it, but I don't think he has any issue. Please read the following comments made by Kerry on US television.

Record of First 2004 Presidential Debate
Excerpts of Kerry's comments follow:
SENATOR KERRY: Nuclear proliferation. Nuclear proliferation. There are some 600-plus tons of unsecured material still in the former Soviet Union, in Russia. At the rate that the President is currently securing that, it will take 13 years to get it.
I did a lot of work on this. I wrote a book about it several years ago -- maybe six or seven years ago -- called, "The New War," which saw the difficulties of this international criminal network. And back then, we intercepted a suitcase in a Middle Eastern country with nuclear materials in it. And the black market sale price was about $250 million. Now, there are terrorists trying to get their hands on that stuff today.
[...]
Not this President. I'm going to shut that program down and we're going to make it clear to the world we're serious about containing nuclear proliferation. And we're going to get the job of containing all of that nuclear material in Russia done in four years. And we're going to build the strongest international network to prevent nuclear proliferation. This is the scale of what President Kennedy set out to do with the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. It's our generation's equivalent. And I intend to get it done.
[...]
SENATOR KERRY: Weapons of mass destruction, nuclear proliferation. But again, the test of the difference between us -- the President has had four years to try to do something about it, and North Korea has got more weapons. Iran is moving towards weapons. And at his pace, it will take 13 years to secure those weapons in Russia. I'm going to do it in four years, and I'm going to immediately set out to have bilateral talks with North Korea.
[...]
SENATOR KERRY: Well, let me just say quickly that I've had an extraordinary experience of watching up close and personal that transition in Russia, because I was there right after the transformation, and I was probably one of the first senators -- along with Senator Bob Smith of New Hampshire, a former senator -- to go down into the KGB underneath Treblinka [sic] Square and see reams of files with names in them, and it sort of brought home the transition to democracy that Russia was trying to make.
I regret what's happened in these past months, and I think it goes beyond just the response to terror. Mr. Putin now controls all the television stations. His political opposition is being put in jail. And I think it's very important for the United States, obviously, to have a working relationship that is good. This is a very important country to us and we want a partnership. But we always have to stand up for democracy. As George Will said the other day, freedom on the march, not in Russia right now.

| 8 | “Missing Weapons? Blame the Russians” The Washington Dispatch by Shane Cory, Editor October 28, 20 |
OMG, THIS IS HOT!
In an exclusive article published in The Washington Dispatch today, Shane Cory blows Bill Gertz's story, about Russian complicity in "Qaqaa-gate", clean out of the water! Bases-loaded home run for Shane Cory!
Uh, only one problem...
LOL, there is no "Washington Dispatch"! That website is a web fiction set up by, run by, written by and staffed by, none other than Shane Cory. He does that in order to lend an air of "journalistic credibility" to his anti-Bush, Libertarian, whacko diatribes.
When not pretending to be a reporter, Shane Cory is actually the webmaster for the Libertarian Party national website and a staff member of the LP national office. You remember the Libertarian Party, don't you? That's the party so craven that they would rather bend over for the islamo-fascists, than stand up and fight for America.
You've been had, pal.
(And that's giving you the benefit of the doubt.)
