Anyone care to post a copy of the "classified cable" so the FReepers can have a go at it to determine its authenticity?

And just how did the NYTimes get a leaked CIA memo?

May Goss succeed in his house cleaning?

"...How does a 'Cable' "leak", and how often does it happen?"

Well, a bit personal, but it depends upon how much it's had to drink....

Cables! All they need is the sound effect of the teletype machines in the background.

"Cables" is what they are called. Military might still call them "twixes." You might call them "messages" or "email." The Agency calls them "cables."

The New York what? Times?? Oh, okay, well then that explains it.

I don't know, I'll just go with my gut on this and trust the President and the troops over some agenda-driven socialist liberal Democrat rag machine.

"More Sy Hersh "CIA" leak garbage to go after Rummy. I cannot believe how much energy Rummy has."

Can't blame it all on Sy Hersh, wee willie Kristol said this weekend on Fox that he expects Rummy to be gone within a year or possibly in months.

Kristol and McCain have been out for Rummy's head as well, and I would not put leaking past either one of them.

Yawn.... This might get some attention IF the NYTimes had ANY credibility left. Instead, it is yet another negative, transparent and agenda driven story that is critical of our war effort and WE'RE SICK OF HEARING THEM!!!!!

I'm sure Danny Boy has a copy of the 'cable' in his hands right now. It says WESTERN UNION on the top.


It came Pony Express yesterday

It's amazing how any slur of the Bush administration by anonymous sources is the Word of God for the Slimes, while they've been wrong about every other major development since Reagan, including the end of the Cold War.

The situation is deteriorating"

INDEED!!! CIA politicos are stooping to leaking classified cables!!

The CIA insurgency is intensifying!

Goss may need to issue a call-up of conservative reserves.
