Michael Scheuer didn't leak anything. He published a book that dissented from the administration's assessments about Bin Laden. The book went through a CIA process to make sure it did not leak secrets.

You or I or Bush may not agree with his opinions, but he did not leak.

The book is extremely well-written and tho' I have some questions about his ideas, this person is no incompetent.

Lies. Schuer's book Imperial Hubris *specifically* leaks internal, classified Agency assessments of Bin Laden.

That it was "approved" by the CIA hierarchy just goes to show that the entire organization is out of control. That the book was deliberately published during the 2004 election campaign in an attempt to influence the outcome just goes to show that a treasonous coup was only narrowly averted.

Schuer isn't the first leaker, either. Plame leaked her own name, among other things. Wilson certainly leaked, though as a temporary contractor one can't pin 100% of his blame onto the CIA. No doubt there are numerous other rogues there, too.

Not a month goes by that some paper somewhere isn't citing some *anonymous* source for critical leaks.

But that you would deny that the freakin' book by Schuer isn't a leak just goes to show how far in the tank you are for your friends there.
