I wish the WH would get out in front on this.
massgopguy is correct, the Key Judgements of the NIE were declassified on Oct 07, 2002 by George Tenet. See my post #58 on this thread for the info and links.
So why isn't the White House crowing about this?
I know...I was spitting nails and screaming at the TV last night, LOL! Freaking MSM drives me nuts! This is a manufactured scandal. It took me all of 15 minutes on Google to find the correct info...and these people call themselves reporters?
I sometimes wonder if they have poor communications folks or poor political researchers.
I don't know. If I thought Karl Rove would read an e-mail from me, I'd give him hell!
I'm waiting for the Bushbots to come in and claim it is a brilliant strategy to ignore headlines.
I had it doubly worse last night since the leftist news casts such as Global TV were spewing their made up crap over this. Those bastards were also still saying that Plame woman was a covert secret agent whose name was classified - which is false.
(Nini Totenberg on NPR this morning is but one example.)
Now, according to this media, it may be a crime in effect, if not in reality, if an effort was made to show that Wilson's "report" was misinformation by getting to the public the facts and figures to explicitly show this.
The media's take on release of classified material is selective indeed.
Well, I tried to find Karl's e-mail address and then went to the GOP website to get theirs, but I can't find anything on either one and I know e-mailing the WH would be an exercise in futility...so I e-mailed Jeb Bush the information, as I hear that he is good about responding personally. Hopefully, he will forward this on to the proper people.
If this is such a honking big Number 9+ revelation, you have to wonder why Tim Russert wasn't the one explaining it all to Matt Lauer.
I think NBC honchos know this story is being intentionally reported inaccurately by the MSM herd, and they don't want Tim tarnished by misreporting a story he's personally involved with. Let spit boy do the dirty work for pumpkin head.
The Senate will already be on their 2 week recess. Few of them want a bill passed into law. They just want an issue to bloviate about.
President Bush never has and never needed to leak anything. That is because anything he reveals to the public is not a leak. He has, alone with the VP, the authority to reveal anything which included classified material. Matthews is a stone insane nut. RATS that jump onto this bandwagon are proof that their gray matter has rotted.
What in the hell are you talking about. You are so informed.
Bush in responding to the question of the leaking of the identity of Valerie Plame, did not come out and say he knew who had "outed" her. He obviously knew, as he was the one that allegedly told others to begin leaking info in an attempt to deflect criticism from her husband and Dims. That is what I was talking about. He had that moment when he acted like he was gung-ho against leakers, when in reality it was he that was allegedly the source. No crime was committed, but it was a moment he will come to regret. Clinton broke no law by having sex with an intern named Monica, but he directly lied to the public, that was what drove his impeachment process. Without that moment, when he easily, and should have said either the truth, or just "none of your business", the investigations and impeachment would never have happened.
Everything bad about W is a 10 for Timmy, hate to bust his fart filled balloon.
