Sounds to me like this is NOT an unnamed sources issue but rather two Congresscritters coming out by name and staking their own reputations, calling foul. NK must have been caught red-handed and the White House is ready to give them a complete pass. If so, then exposing it is an act of courage.
NK is on the axis of evil, remember?
The WH staved off Israel's attack; (they wanted to go in June/Julyish) and would NOT have caught NK red-handed if they hadn't waited.
Now the whole world knows NK is not about non-proliferation.
The only congressman who could gripe about not being briefed would be Kuchinich, who just happened to be in Syria on 9/6. And why was he there? Was Pelosi trying to warn Assad when she visited (about the time Israel wanted to strike), too?
Between Kennedy and Rockefeller (warning Saddam) and Pelosi and Kucinich, you think *W* needs exposing? Hello?
El Gato - They aren't revealing squat, but are asking that Congress be better briefed. Seems like they are worried the State Department might give away the farm... again.
Both of you guys have grasped the essential issue here. Unfortunately, very few folks in this and other threads on this subject seem to be able to see things clearly.
The Administration and the State Department are indeed in the process of giving away the farm with respect to North Korea and Israel. These two Congressmen are to be commended for their courage in trying to hold them accountable.
I agree.
Ross-Lehtinen is one of the good guys.
