Bush Won't Release Full Intel Assessment
The Associated Press

WASHINGTON - The White House refused Wednesday to release in full a previously secret intelligence assessment that depicts a growing terrorist threat and has fueled the election-season fight over the Iraq war.

Press secretary Tony Snow said releasing the full report, portions of which President Bush declassified on Tuesday, would jeopardize the lives of agents who gathered the information.

"We don't want to put people's lives at risk," Snow told a White House news briefing.

1. didn't worry about Val Plame did they?

2. So that's why you exposed the identity of Valerie Plame

because you didn't want to put anybody's lives at risk? Tony you will burn in hell and I think you know it and don't care. bush is a greater god for you to worship on earth.

3. They sure didn't. The only lives they care about are their own.

Their political lives, that is.

4. Cherry Picking Intelligence

again. This is what they've always done. Just redact anything derogatory until the document makes no sense at all.

5. Unless it's 'useful' to the administration.....Tony should have added.

6. "We don't want to put our political futures at risk"....Tony thinks

7. Good, I'm glad you didn't put anyone's lives at risk

like say when you completely ignored terrorist threats or like if you went to war for no actual reason.

8. Anyone with half a brain knows that Iraq is

a mess and that we have many more enemies since Bush's Iraq War, so the release of the report is rather a moot point. Poltical BS.
" We don't want to put people's lives at risk," Snow told a White House news briefing. Tell that to the troops and the people of the mideast.

9. Why not release the part that deals with Afghanistan?

Seems pretty pertinant to me.
