DEMOCRATS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THEFT (The Rove disc "discovery")

I've beem waiting to someone to question the "finding" of this disc. It would appear that Bush has some moles in the WH - and he needs to find them IMMEDIATELY and fire them.

The constant media reports of "dissention" within the administration smacks of a mole at work in the WH. Sorry, I can't buy any of those loyal to Bush leaking that kind of info. to the anti-Bush media.

Tie all this to the past week of almost constant coverage of the "evils" of Watergate and you begin to see a CARVILLE/DNC scene!! Yeah, I know, I'm paranoid -- but before you slam me, just remember what they tried to pull just before the 2000 election with the DUI story and then the debacle in FL.

...a quarter of a decade ago?

[Mo1]

If it makes you feel better ... I didn't buy the "finding" of this disc in the park story either

[Mo1]

PING ...

I wonder who the Mole is????

[webstersII]

I just wish that the Republicans had had enough sense to plant this evidence as mis-information to confuse the Democrats but I seriously doubt that.

...a quarter of a decade ago?

LOL. Actually, what it says is, "over a quarter of a decade ago" which is of course, technically accurate.

My BS meter went full scale on that one too. It's maddening that nobody seems to be questioning it.

[Miss Marple]

The mole must be someone who has access to offices after hours, understood that this information was on a computer disk, knew how to locate that disk, and could remove it without anyone questioning his/her activities.

That would place the mole pretty high up in the food chain, unless it is Secret Service or a very well-educated cleaning lady.

Or it could be disinformation intentionally given to someone under suspicion, and the appearance of the information has ratted out the mole.

I think it's none other than Rove himself.

[AmishDude]

Can you imagine if the Nixon campaign had "discovered" some things "on the street"? The press wouldn't have believed it in a minute. And didn't.

[hobbes1]

Actually, I believe that it was posited in one of the articles
that it may have been from an intermediary involved in actually displaying the PPT presentation,
at whatever gathering it was shown at...

[knuthom]

you begin to see a CARVILLE/DNC scene!!

Is Mary Matalin still working in the White House? Carville seems to have no morals. I can well imagine him raiding his wife's pockets, briefcase or computer. Personally, I don't see how she can stand the man, much less have children with him.

[Airborne Longhorn]

You mean disinformation, maybe??

[AmishDude]

Do you think it's intentional disinfo?

[hobbes1]

YOu may be on to something. That thought had crossed my mind as well.

Especially when you consider this article

See where I am going? The DNC has a limited pool of dollars to spend, and the Info that was "Found" would seem to imply that maybe it should be spread to several other areas, taking it from where it is needed...

[rintense]

I think it coulld be 'intentional', but I also do not trust Rove.

[MJY1288]

LOL, I would bet you are correct, Rove and his bag of tricks probably planted it for the ethically challenged DemocrRATs to distribute, He probably asked someone to approach the ehtically challenged democRAT staffer and offer it to him. :-)

You are usually right on target with your comments, what should we know above Rove?

[rintense]

I wish I had more concrete info to give you, but it's just a gut feeling. With Karen Hughes leaving, Rove's influence will be too much, IMHO. Hughes had a way of looking at issues from every perspective and had incredible insights. I just don't see Rove that way at all. Andrew Card may have been right when he said Hughes leaving would mean far too much influence by Rove.
