"Mr. Wilson originally claimed in a 2003 New York Times op-ed and in conversations with numerous reporters that he had debunked a report that Iraq was seeking to purchase uranium from Niger and that Mr. Bush's subsequent inclusion of that allegation in his State of the Union address showed that he had deliberately 'twisted' intelligence 'to exaggerate the Iraq threat.'"
.Joe the LIAR..
I don't trust what they said. There's an agenda hidden here, somewhere.
Well, once again, NewSmax writes a misleading headline, then doesn't really look at the Washington Post story as it is. It was not a complimentary story with regard to Bush.
You can read it yourself here. I didn't notice a link to the original story at NewSmax. Here's the WaPo link. Go read it yourself and see how NewSmax distorted their article:

A thread on the Washington Post story.
I don't think that a presidential de-classification of information can be called a "leak." The President has the authority to declassify information; a "leak" is an unauthorized leak of information. See, e.g., Leaky Leahy.
And that would be unacceptable! Then the 'Rats (and the MSM slime) would have to start accepting responsibility for all of their accusations, calls for "impeachment" and problems with immigration, budgets, etc. etc.
This is for real? The Washington Post really said this?
Dayum!
The DUmmies must be pooping their pants.
The Bottom line is that the President took action to Protect America unlike his predecessor. In taking that action he came under attack by the left, his critics and the MSM. To that end he attempted to show the country that Iraq was indeed a threat in that it did in fact try (attempt) to get radioactive material from Niger.... Why hasn't the Press made the same amount of coverage on the fact that Sadaam authorized the use of suicide attackers against the U.S. prior to 9/11.... smoking gun buried by the MSM.....

The whole leakgate thing is retarded. If anyone has the authority to "leak" classified information it would be the President.
The President has the authority to decide what should and should not be made public.
It's just like any CEO of a company... if a CEO wishes to say something to the public fine.. but if a line level employee starts talking about how they operate he can be fired.
Why oh why can't we just apply a little common sense.

The American-hating-Bush-hating-liberty-hating motormouths have made a big smash with headlines that mean nothing. Now that the cacophany has ceased, my, it's awfully quiet out there.
