Not sure what the nonsense is that you are referring to, but yes, there are people here with gov't clearances. And yes, they are confirming and negating actual events via their clearance access.
Well, the games over, so now I can switch to Fox.
I know some folks are going to be going to work early out at ORNL.

South Korean won't need to look far for first crisis as U.N. chief

SEOUL, South Korea Ban Ki-moon, the soft-spoken South Korean foreign minister, has spent much of his 35-year career steering his country between its biggest ally, the United States, and its biggest threat, North Korea. Now, on the eve of his confirmation as the next United Nations secretary general, he is preparing to take on the North Korea portfolio on behalf of the world.
With North Korea threatening to test a nuclear weapon, the next secretary general could face an early challenge to help defuse a standoff and coax North Korea to return to the bargaining table. He would also be called on to mend estranged relations with the United States, the largest donor to the United Nations, which have grown more strained with the war in Iraq.
Mr. Ban would become the second Asian to lead the United Nations, at a time when China's global influence is rising, and Japan, Asia's largest economic power, wants to raise its international profile by gaining a permanent seat on the Security Council. The last Asian secretary general was U Thant of Burma, the nation now called Myanmar. He served from 1961 to 1971.
So far, Mr. Ban has been characteristically reserved about disclosing what he might do as secretary general. He has said, though, that he would try to play a more vocal role than the current secretary general, Kofi Annan, in trying to persuade North Korea to end its nuclear program. He has also said he may depart from his predecessor's path by engaging North Korea in personal diplomacy.
"I plan to go to North Korea as soon as I get the chance," Mr. Ban, who is 62, was quoted as saying last Tuesday by the South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo. "Secretary General Kofi Annan has never visited North Korea during his 10-year term."
. . .
Mr. Ban would also take over an organization reeling from criticism over mismanagement of the oil-for-food program in Iraq, reported sexual misconduct by peacekeepers and accusations of opaque and inefficient financial practices.

"US Military does not believe reports of the test are true"
bttt
The DU'ers are actually saying Rove is responsible for this! They are suicidal! And they are saying they are not going to take this anymore. Don't know what that means........ don't think I want to......
If they discuss their clearance, chances are it is fake.
Bret Baire saying the same thing
