yes indeed, "The Declining Terrorist Threat"... another unsung reward of the Clinton legacy.

Still, you never know what you might find in the article; I'd love to pin that on her.

Can you tell I'm out for blood now? :-)

[the Real fifi]

Thank you. I remembered something about him but couldn't place it until I saw your post. What a numbskull.

Many thanks for the ping! Some great stuff here.

LOL! Man, I've not laughed so hard since the Saturday Night Live crew did that skit on AlGore's 'Next Step' when the State of Florida was in such a turmoil during the 2000 election.

This is an astounding article. It reinforces my opinion that one aspect of the Wilson-Rove flap is the desire of incompetents in the intelligence establishment to cover their own failings. In other words, they have a strong incentive to make the White House the bad guys. Was Larry Johnson an anonymous source for the New York Times? Probably. I smell another "Rathergate".

So Larry McDonald is one of those people the media drag out to support Wilson? As Edward G. Robinson said in "Double Indemnity", "I smell a rat, Walter."

[popdonnelly]

My bad, I meant Johnson, of course.

A sterling analytical piece by one of former SOS Madeline Albright's crack troops in the killing fields of Foggy Bottom.

Thanks for the reminder of how far we have had to come to recover from the Clinton legacy.

....we are confident that Valerie Plame was working in a cover status (AMBASSADOR's MISTRESS/WIFE?)



In the case of Valerie Plame, she still works for the CIA and is not in a position to publicly defend her reputation and honor. We stand in her stead and ask that Republicans and Democrats honor her service to her country and stop the campaign of disparagement and innuendo aimed at discrediting Mrs. Wilson and her husband (SUCH AS JOE WILSON's BOOK WHERE HE BOASTED HOW SHE OUTED HERSELF TO HIM DURING A HEAVY MAKEOUT SESSION ON THEIR THIRD DATE?)

Larry C. Johnson is a former State Department counterterrorism specialist.
.............................. That's all I needed to see to know he's got his head up his ass. Foggy Bottom spent more time protecting it's privileged status than doing anything worthwhile for OUR country.
