Hmmm...Bush is not the only one within our government that has actual knowledge and proof of those events. If one of those with inside knowledge happens also to be opposed to Bush's foreign policy, especially the GWOT, or else someone who still carries around a grudge for the GRU (old Soviet military intelligence), then the facts will leak. I can think of at least two elements within the CIA that fit that description.
Where else would Getz be getting his intel if not from intel? (Rhetorical question.)

oh sure, the leaks to Gertz may well be true. but politically, since neither side is going to substantiate this (and the MSM isn't going to touch Gertz's story), we aren't going to be able to rebut this story down before the election.
I think Gertz gets BSed on a routine basis.
But, his articles are uniformly what people here want to hear. Eventually I think his star will fade once it sinks in basically none of his exciting stories pan out or get corroborated.

Good observation. Goertz obviously got his info from someone who wants to cause trouble for Bush. And considering that Putin is supporting Bush, this would hurt him as well -- he won't be happy if Kerry gets elected.
