What garbage, especially from the NYT.

[Bouchart]

The situation is deteriorating....for the terrorists.

[waterman478]

The New York Times will print anything that makes the war look bad. First of all, who the hell sends "cables" anymore? How exactly was it "intercepted"? Do you think that anonymous confirming sources will be touted?

The old Media just doesn't get it. Even if this were true, this is not "news"...it's one opinion from one of the many sources that have responsbility for securing the situation there. Without triangulation, concrete evidence and specifics, or corraborating data, this is tabloid magazine crap.

[mconners]

It's now or never for the terrorists. The date isn't moving and their time is running out. Not a surprise, and they will lose.

[Dr Snide]

does Dan Rather have a copy of it?

[Billthedrill]

Uh huh. A classified cable from the CIA that made its way to the NY Times. No agendas here.

[Just mythoughts]

Looks like somebody is really after Rummy's head.

[Perdogg]

hohum.

[Reactionary]

Ooo. Another political hit from the liberal swine in the CIA.

Find out who did it. The CIA isn't liberals' stash of secrets to be used against political opponents.

[Minus_The_Bear]

Could be just one of the remaining worms in the CIA system trying to cause damage before being rooted out by Goss.

[Old Sarge]

Bah.

I'll see when I get there...

[Williams]

I don't understand reports like this. May be out of context, then again sometimes these are the reports. It seems to me there is violence in Iraq, even an upsurge because of the upcoming elections and teh Falujah campaign. But is the Iraqi government crumbling? Is our military on the brink of defeat? No.

My guess is someone is reporting the upsurge in violence and that it may not get better until at least after the election.

[DM1]

think they got this from Dan Rather

[acapesket]

What the heck is a "cable leak"? Is that like a " Chunnel thing" ? I was under the impression that we had "diplomatic pouches" by courier. How does a 'Cable' "leak", and how often does it happen?

[Chummy]

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

[ThePythonicCow]

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

May Goss succeed in his house cleaning?

[Recovering_Democrat]

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.

[demkicker]

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!!!!!

[pierrem15]

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.

[goodnesswins]

Someone in the ADMINISTRATION maybe LEAKED this "cable" ON PURPOSE?????? HEH...HEH...HEH...or maybe Goss himself set someone up???

[M Kehoe]

Let's see, we have the NY Slimes, a leaky CIA station chief, and an analysis from somebody that says the situation is deteriorating and won't rebound soon.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say this news came from the Kerry campaign via the NYT.
