No, silence is what is appropriate, unless the sources are reliable, verified, and corroborated, and then you make a post that this is a possibility. In any event, I cannot believe that the other 7 or 8 who are viewed as highly qualified, all have skeletons in their closet, and/or six Pubbie senators told Bush they would oppose them all, period, for ideological reasons. I just don't. And I don't believe that you got such a leak out of the tight lipped Bush white house from any creditable source. I just don't believe that either.

I did not say all 7 (or 11) were tainted. Some were, others backed out of the process, some were opposed by Specter and others. It might not mean much, but I got confirmation after first being told about this. If you remember some of my posts regarding 'little birdie' before the 2004 elections, you know this source is trustworthy. But I wont hate you for disagreeing with me.
