The Washington Post has some credibility, and this sounds like the kind of screwup -- and coverup -- we can expect when government goes Dramatic. It's a point I made often enough about Padilla, that we had no way of even knowing that the guy they were holding was Padilla and not some Hispanic janitor they'd arrested by mistake.

The Washington Post has some credibilitySure...the WaPo has the utmost credibility in nitpicking the government's mistakes when their political opponents are in charge. However you would never read a story like this when Billy Jeff Bob was in charge.

I think Padilla was a real threat. When you read how they got him, it seals up any doubts.

It doesn't help that the CIA is packed to the gills with liberals that would love to see the War on Terrorism fall flat on its face. To that end, the CIA is happy to make a few mistakes and look dumb for a day. Then they can turn around and blame it on White House pressure to capture suspects and Bush is the one who gets hounded mercilessly for the rest of his days over it while the CIA director gets a few bad editorials in the Sunday paper.
Funny how these stories were never out when Bubba was president. The CIA and FBI were running interference for all kinds of domestic and foreign policy adventures that he was into but the newspapers barely said anything, except to paint the critics as nutcases. The only critics of Waco, the Oklahoma City bombing, and Clinton's shifting of classified material over to Commerce so that it would no longer be classified, were conservatives in the non-traditional media who were roundly touted as whacko hate-mongers who were just out to create any scandal possible against Klinton.

Dear Dana,
You want me to believe everything you are asserting in this article? Fine. Name your sources. You are a mere "journo" in a time of a war, and you should not be trusted any more than any joe on the corner of the street rattling your tin pan.
Sincerely,
Alia

Why has a newbie bringing bad news been zotted out so fast? Did ER do something worse on another thread? I think we DO want to know how screwups like this have taken place. There's no excuse for the passport fiasco described in the article.

Have we stumbled across the topic so explosive that we don't even dare cite a MSM article that nobody here has managed to deny the veracity of?
To: The Red Zone
No, its a slow day and no one gives a damn about the Washington Post or Dana Priest.
