“The allegations appear in a new book, The War Within: A Secret White House History, 2006-2008, by journalist Bob Woodward”

Oh, THAT S.O.B.

That SOB needs to be strung up for treason, just because he loves putting down the US Pres in the face of war, as if he’s the enemy vs. the foreigners, much less any snitching going on.

"by journalist Bob Woodward, who writes that the United States spied extensively on Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, his staff and other government officials"

Excuse me but we (USA) have every right to "vett" the guy.

[Tennessean4Bush]

Why Bush has let this “journalist” have such unfettered access is beyond me.

[Eagles6]

Typical lib, anything to hurt the war effort and/or the Bush administration.

[Logical me]

I was beginning to feel that these turban headed nitwits were finally getting some smarts. No chance. Maybe it is time to cut them off.

This Pinko POS is still out there carping ?

Thanks for posting the article.

“who writes that the United States spied extensively on Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, his staff and other government officials.”

That’s why we call them ‘spies’. We have whole agencies full of them, and he’s not the only one we spy on.

"reacted sharply to published allegations..."

Buh-bye Chronicle. There's a reason you're in the dumpster.

Well, the Administration should come out and debunk the guy. I would like to hear something like this:

‘Don’t believe everything you hear from a Democrat, especially members of the MSM like Bob Woodward who’s got an ax to grind. Look what they are doing to the Republican VP nominee. They spread lies and rumors about her.’

The Iraqi government needs to join the grown-up world. Everybody spies on everybody. You spy on enemies, you spy on allies, you try to steal info allies have gotten on enemies, you try to steal info enemies have gotten on allies. In the intel world there are no unacceptable sources.

U.S. spied on Iraq’s prime minister

How naive of them to think they wouldn’t be spied on. Ofcourse we spied as does every nation with any resources to do so. It’s protecting our interests and our national security.

The Spy Museum in DC is a real tourist trap. However, after many lobbying trips I ran out of other things to do I finally went there.

It was clear from the museum and books I read later that espionage is regular part of all foreign relations, “friendly” and not friendly. It is usually called “intelligence”, and it includes information from pretty normal conversations with leaders and diplomatic staff people to information picked up from listening devices, satellites and ground observers.

To a professional, saying “we know everything he says” in a hot zone like Iraq is so obvious as to be silly. This is probably why it got leaked.

The scary thing is that the Iraqis are surprised by this. Are they that naive? We own their gov’t and it’s our investment that has resulted in it. They think we wouldn’t want to know what they are up to?

[headstamp 2]

The irresponsibility of these left-wing bastards in the US media is incredible and borders on outright sabotage.

With Woodward’s name on it, I call bullshit from the git !
