White House: AP report on Levinson 'highly irresponsible'
Politico44 A Living Diary of the Obama Presidency ^ | 12/13/13 | JENNIFER EPSTEIN

Posted on 12/13/2013 2:33:14 PM PST by ColdOne

The Associated Press was "highly irresponsible" in publishing a story detailing American Robert Levinson's ties to the CIA, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Friday.

finally something from the WH with which I can agree. If Levinson is not dead, he will be after this AP story.

“Highly Irresponsible” is going to be the up-coming talking-point phrase of the Obama Administration’s paid liars.

Me thinks that the Obama Administration was then, is now and forever will be “Highly Irresponsible.”

BTW, any FReepers there interested in making a hit song with the title “Highly Irresponsible?”

It could be a parody to the tune of “Call Me Irresponsible.” Our dear Doug could probably do it within a day.

SOMEBODY authorized this leak. The question is why. Did iran promise to free him if the US confessed he was a cia op, or is he yet another American sacrifice for damage done to some damn terrorists?

Sounds good!

Back in the day a Brit wrote and directed a video song with a bunch of solemn women strumming guitars while he sang. The title was something like “Simply Irresistible.”

I never click on politico, but your post made me curious. So I clicked and maybe it’s just me, but there were NO comments at the link.
Can anyone else still see them? Or am I being spared?

“If Levinson is not dead, he will be after this AP story.”

I’m not so sure about this. He’s been “missing” for what, 6 years? If he is still alive (and even if he’s not), I suspect the Iranians have known about his CIA connections for years, if not the entire time they’ve held him.
