I couldn't be more disappointed than I am at Rumsfeld....I can't figure this out.
He is trying to get a handle on it before it blows up, but it may have already done so?
Rummy may be concerned that the Democrats on the Committee will ask questions regarding OTHER classified information and/or operations.
"I couldn't be more disappointed than I am at Rumsfeld....I can't figure this out."
Maybe not. What if it's a political gambit by Rove and company? Make it look like the Pentagon is covering up.
This will cause an immediate reaction from the Left and headlines screaming COVERUP. The Dems will demand "the truth" and Rummy will give it to them, right up the ole whazoo! ;-)
"Dr. Eileen sounds very interesting!!"
If she blows the whistle will she make the cover of Time and Newsweek?. . . I'm not gonna hold my breath.

The technique used to develop this information is something of a black art, although not nearly as much so as it might appear to the uninitiated. It's quite possible that someone in the chain has convinced everyone up the chain from him that the "sources and methods" must be protected. Even though *they* bought it, he or she is more likely just protecting his own posterior.
If that's the case, I wouldn't want to be him when Rumsfield (and the President), finally discover the truth. Can you say ZOT! ? I know you can. I'd like be a fly on the wall to be able to see and hear that when it happens. :)
