NEWSVIEW: Leak-Hating President, As Leaker

[deacon]

After long denouncing leaks of all kinds, Bush is confronted with a statement — unchallenged by his aides — that he authorized a leak of classified material to undermine an Iraq war critic.

The allegation in the CIA leak case threatens the credibility of a president already falling in the polls, and it gives Democrats fresh material to accuse him of hypocrisy.

1. Bush will be in the 20's nx week....Americans cannot stand a Presidential

Leaker...especially one that outs a CIA Agent for vengence...jeperdizing an innocent life and making the other Agents very nervous they might be outted too.

Bush has fucked himself by being the Head leaker.

2. They put in danger more than one life.

They basically risked every person that worked with the agent and every person that worked at the front corporation she gave as her employer. The damage could be huge. Not only was Plame's intelligence work on nuclear proliferation ended but many other intelligence investigations would be affected and possibly ended. The damage to our intelligence gathering operations could be huge but that is classified information and we won't know for a long time, if ever, the true damage that was done by this traitorous administration. When this story broke I thought this would be something that the American people could understand and that they would be outraged over it. So far, no one, but us, seems to care.
