"I'm beginning to think that the call by the CIA to have this matter investigated might have been the work of another Democrat partisan in the Agency."
IMHO, it's the same limp wristed, milquetoast, bunker mentality response that this administration always affords the Democrats. The Dems know they can get 24/7 unoppposed news coverage and W's trustworthiness is taking another hit.
They let them lie millions of times until the lie becomes fact. The greatest disappointment for me has been them allowing the Dems to compartmentalize the Iraq problem to post 9/11. Rove has allowed the moral authority for the war to be stolen and our troops are in greater danger for it.
Just look at the oil situation. Te Dems have blocked any new drilling for decades and have actually forced removal of oil rigs on the west coast. Yet the typical bunker approach has Dubya as the badguy!
We could start a list of the lies.
Stem-cell research ban: there is no ban.
Bush invaded Iraq to retaliate for 9/11: hmm, where is that?
I like your oil lie. Because of the war, look at oil prices: no, look at the lack of internal energy resources.
There is another one that drives me nuts, but I can't think of it right now. But, when I hear any of these on TV and the reporter doesn't challenge them, I am pretty vocal about it.
