Our country's own State Department is packed full of spies - I would not be surprised if the number was at least 5% or more. That is how bad it is.

Why do you make such baseless allegations? As someone who spent nearly 30 years in the State Department with 20 years being overseas, I find your comments despicable. State Department personnel risk their lives every day around the globe in service to their country. You need to go to the State Department lobby and note the names of those who lost their lives while serving their nation. I served with some of them. You don't know sh** from shinola.

[Prokopton]

Many of us thought we did win the election.

[McClintock]

"A Marine wouldn't do that."

A filipino might.

I think we're damn fools to give security clearances to people like this - would we give a security clearance to an Arab?

Wait, don't answer that...

[expatguy]

These are not baseless allegations. Not in the least, I've posted here at FR several times in the past regarding this very subject.

Im sorry that you take offense at it, but I equally take offense at the fact that "freedom of speech" and/or tolerance has let so many of these people remain in the State department. I take offense when I see a State Department official personally tell a member of a foreign government that "we need to do everything in our power to see that Bush is stopped"

How long have you been out of the State Department? Did you not know that it is apparently considered some sort of 'badge of honor' if you personally have a higher cause than our nation's President?

The lead up to the War in Iraq saw many who decided to come out of the closet and profess their hatred for George Bush - How do you think this was received overseas? How many of these people were scooped up by foreign powers to do their bidding?

I can assure you Kabar that I know very well what I am talking about. This very subject has been a pain in my side for a long time.

[Lazamataz]

Should we just trust Dubbya on this like on Miers?

Silly rabbit. One should always just trust Dubya.

[Lazamataz]

Yeah, Bush was supposed to personal screen and monitor every single person in the White House.

Uh... hey, moron?

That's right. Administrations ARE supposed to personally screen and monitor every single person in the White House.

Back to sleep with you.

[Albion Wilde]

What makes you such an authority on major leagues?

[DaveMSmith]

Unprecedented, my butt. The Clintons were the ultimate security breach.

Well put. The 'toons raised a stench to the high heavens.

[HapaxLegamenon]

Alan Specter in the WH Council's Office.

Just heard on ABC radio that an assistant to VP Cheney was caught spying for the Philippines.

But I'm sure Chaney knew this guy heart, and that he was a trust employee of the administration.

[Howlin]

I was reading an interesting little book about the presidency tonight; did you know that you have to be an American born citizen to carry the nuclear football, there can be no chance of ANY influence from a foreign country with the handler, his family OR his friends? It also says that a U.S. citizen married to a foreigner would most likely NOT be given the position.

Works for me.

[sully777]

Guy's a titi mo

[Ramcat]

"But I'm sure Chaney knew this guy heart, and that he was a trust employee of the administration."

Who's Chaney? And what's a trust employee?

[BureaucratusMaximus]

But I'm sure Cheney knew this guy's heart, and that he was a trusted employee of the administration.

Ouch.

[beyond the sea]

John Huang..... Charlie Trie....... Bill Clinton

There are no hyphenated Americans who are 100% on our side.

True dat. That's why I left out the hyphen.

[Robert Lomax]

I didn't know Sandy Burglar worked for the Bush White House. /sarcasm

[finnigan2]

"I hope an assistant to Cheney isn't leftover from the Clinton Administration. He knows better than that."

- Yes he was. He was hired by Al Gore's when he was VP, although you have to dig a bit in reports to get that particular information since the MSM don't seem anxious to reveal it. Another fact hard to find is that at the time of his recent arrest, he was no linger attached to Chaney's staff but was somewhere else in the bureaucracy but where he still had access to sensitive material. Presumably, Chaney inherited him (probably a low level gopher who didn't attract a lot of interest) and it took Chaney a couple of years before he got around to moving him out.

Sure, where "dig a little" means "read down to the fifth paragraph."
