Rumsfield Says Nuke Leak Violated Law!!
FoxNews
Posted on 03/13/2002 8:16:11 AM PST by Naspino
Rumsfield just said that the leak to the LA Times violated the law and that leaks in Washington was a disease. My only thought is YES YES YES! The leaker needs to be tried for treason. We cannot improve our image among other peoples if we are constantly back-stabbed by our own senators and media.

I agree, they should investigate and prosecute, but in the mean time they should announce that all breifings will be discontinued until the traitorous culpret is exposed.

I'm hopping MAD, the LA TIMES and the bastard(s) who leaked the story will NOT FACE consequences!! The LA Times is nothing but a ANTI-AMERCIAN communist RAG. We need to do something, anything to let these BASTARD EXCREMENT Paper know that the rest of the american people are REALLY PISSED OFF at them. Please if you have the email address of this EXCREMENT slimy rag, POST IT!!

Given your obvious display of ignorance of all things military, I would "go easy" on calling our strategic planners idiots.

AMEN to that! Did Rummy say the "backstabbed by our own Senators and media" or did you? Either way that is sooo the truth.
To: Naspino
All the FBI needs to do is interview the La La Times reporter and mention prosecution for treason. Bet the La La Rat will spill the beans ...... if not, prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.

My money is on Barbara Boxer as she is related by marriage (or is it x-marriage now) to Hillary Clinton...everytime something bad happens, dig down to the source and it's someone close to the Clintons every time!
To: Naspino
It seems that this is one of the only things the media and the Dems can hammer GW with...just a coincidence???
Yep, sure...

Get real, the idiots who put this together were advocating first strike. Rummy would not be upset if this was about using nukes in defense.Its been U.S. policy for at least 25 years (that I know of, maybe longer) that we will NOT rule out first use of nuclear weapons. Jimmy Caht-ah threatened Iran in '79. Saddam was also warned prior to the Gulf War that use of any WMD on his part (e.g. chemical weapons) could draw a nuclear response, and Clinton re-iterated this warning during his term, around '96 I think.
I'm confident that no sensible person here doubts that Rumsfeld is in total agreement that the maximum deterrent effect of our nuclear arsenal is acheived by reserving the right to employ them in response to the use of non-nuclear WMDs, or other genuninely extra-ordinary military circumstances.

I have a question: Would the staffs be privy to this information. If the information was restricted, it would stand to reason that the staffs would not be briefed directly. Maybe not, but it would seem to me not to be a matter of course that staff would be informed of classified info.
To: r9etb
Whoever leaked this probably won't go to jail (unfortunatly, however they must lose their job and be prohibited from everworking for the goverment again. Their boss should be censured and stripped of any committee assingments having to do with National Defense and Intellengence.
The rats won't allow this to happen ( I presume it was leaked by a rat staffer to give their scoialist boss plausible deniability). Bush, Cheney and RUmmy should then go public and beat the rats like a rented mule over this.

I wouldn't even call these contingency plans. More like "what if" wargaming scenarios.

True.
To: AmishDude
Many on staff possess Top Secret/Special Access clearances. Perhaps some staff were even in on these briefings.
Then again, perhaps the Senators briefed their people as a prelude to some fact-finding and/or some future presentation.
To: Naspino
It's obvious that the process is:
- Complain about not being briefed.
- Get a personal briefing.
- Leak briefed material.
- Complain about not being briefed.

the idiots who put this together were advocating first strikeNot so. They were postulating scenarios where the threat of a nuclear response would be a deterent. What has got a lot of anti-nuclear leftists upset if that they say it "lowers the bar to the use of nuclear weapons." To take that arguement to the extreme, why don't we just build a nuclear arsenal with only city buster 10 megaton weapons? Oh, those are so terrible we'd never use them!! Bottom line, the US is more secure with a mix of strategic AND tactical nuclear weapons.

Biden?

This sham rage by Rummy is a well-known professional wrestling-type crowd manipulation ploy.
It's just as if King Kong Bundy got a bucket of water thrown on him by Sailor Art Thomas (sorry, folks, I'm really dating myself here) and Bundy starts shaking and vasodilating his whole morbidly obese head and neck in apparent rage, before putting Thomas in a hammerlock.
It all works for the greater good, however; the Third World subhumans tune in to CNN just as you and I do, and they are taking in the psyops just fine.
