I only wish the Lt. Col could hammer a nail into some of the heads of the traitors that festoon our culture with anti-American lies.
Except the Lt. Col. needed to do a bit more research. While the Ultra secret wasn't revealed in the press, the fact that we were reading Jappanese codes in the summer of 1942 WAS revealed by the Chicago Tribune and by a Congressman during a speech on the House floor.
You are complete correct. Absolute must reading.
"al-Qaeda were a criminal gang running wild" = "freedom fighters"
What I cannot fathom is why 'reason' has escaped - so it would appear - this Administration and the 'whomevers' responsible for insuring that those who give away national security information. . .those who would in fact, commit treason. . .are held accountable. . .
Are they waiting for them to just give our 'military store' away entirely? Do they think it is not politically expedient? WHAT?
Meantime, where is 'Scooter Libbey' these days; busier than Sandy Berger?
GIVE ME A BREAK!
I do NOT understand why those responsible are not being prosecuted.
FBI Filegate was a far more intrusive, far more obviously illegal violation of the privacy of American citizens than anything alledged against the Bush Administration. Yet thos who condemn Bush for investigating terrorists allowed President Clinton to announce that Craig Livingstone "was fired" (note the passive voice) without demanding that Clinton at least assign responsibility for the hiring (and thus, of the firing) of Livingstone.Imagine President Bush evading responsibility for hiring a perpetrator of hundreds of felonies like that! Imagine Bush getting away with not even prosecuting him!!

Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy, a Democrat, accepted two free trips. One was from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. to Taiwan and back to the United States via Los Angeles between Jan. 4 and Jan. 7, 2004. Kennedy's office said the Chinese International Cooperation Association reimbursed him $3,400 for transportation on that trip, $930 for lodging and $370 for meals.
Kennedy's office said the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society reimbursed him $156 for lodging at the group's annual conference in Orlando, Fla., on Feb. 25 and 26. Kennedy's office said he traveled to the conference on a plane chartered by the health-care group. His office set the value of the ride at $11,243.49.
Rep. James R. Langevin, a Democrat, took a trip to Taiwan from Dec. 1 to 4 last year, paid for by the Chinese International Economic Association. Langevin's office said he was reimbursed $3,500 for travel, $970 for lodging and $370 for meals.

Republican Sen. Lincoln D. Chafee, while reporting no free trips or outside income in 1994, gave a glimpse at his family holdings through the annual disclosure,

Chafee's 2004 report again confirms what he first revealed after he was appointed to the Senate in 1999: his family estate is much larger than that of his late father, by virtue of his marriage to the former Stephanie B. Danforth.
Chafee's report shows that, counting the trusts of Stephanie Chafee and their children, his family fortune exceeds $61 million. But because of the quirks of the disclosure system, the report tells little about the estate's value.
For example, Stephanie Chafee's principal blind trust is valued at "over $1,000,000." Because the trust is his wife's, Chafee is not obliged to fix its worth more specifically. But in his first such report several years ago, Chafee valued this trust of Stephanie Chafee at more than $50 million -- still accurate today, Chafee spokesman Stephen Hourahan confirmed.

Kennedy also lists among his assets a holding worth between $50,001 and $100,000 in Arctic Royalty Limited, which owns oil and gas royalty interests. Kennedy reports having earned between $15,001 and $50,000 last year from Arctic.

Oh sure, these people are traitors, no doubt about it. In the good old days (and not that long ago), they would have been tried and shot. United we stand, divided we turn into Mexico.
Here's another example ... where ships were actually sunk because of careless Congressman and press.
"A serious breach of security may have helped the Japanese anti-submarine forces. In June 1943, Congressman Andrew Jackson May, a sixty-eight-year-old member of the House Military Affairs Committee returning from a war zone junket, gave a press interview during which he said, in effect, Don't worry about our submariners; the Japanese are setting their depth charges too shallow. Incredibly, the press associations sent this story over their wires, and many newspapers, including one in Honolulu, thoughtlessly published it.
"Lockwood and his staff were appalled--and furious--at this stupid revelation. Lockwood wrote Admiral Edwards in acid words, "I hear ... Congressman May ... said the Jap depth charges ... are not set deep enough. ... He would be pleased to know the Japs set'em deeper now." And after the war, Lockwood wrote, 'I consider that indiscretion cost us ten submarines and 800 officers and men.'"

So where is the outrage?? Where are the Republican leaders?? They should be screaming from the tops of their lungs for an investigation. So where are they, these meek and mild Republicans?
The Rats are having a field day with their side of the story. the NSA secrets exposed, Able Danger/911 commission whitewash, the Plame farce, the oil for food scam, etc, etc.
IMHO, this current group of Republican leaders SUCK !!
