Major Bolton Scoop: Intercept subject revealed!

[kimpossible]

Well, this is interesting. The Washington Note just published information on the identity of one of Bolton's NSA intercept requests. Seems that old Mr. Diplomatic was indeed spying on his colleagues.

MAJOR SCOOP: Assistant Secretary of State Bill Burns & Libya the Subjects of One Bolton NSA Intercept Request

John Bolton so irritated British negotiators who were working on a resolution to Libya's WMD programs that they asked the American team on Libya to remove John Bolton from the case. Bolton was dropped.

TWN has now learned from a highly placed intelligence source, "with direct knowledge," that one of the 10 intercept requests made by John Bolton was about Libya. The identity of the U.S. official requested by Bolton was William Burns, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs.

Oh wow. This guy is truly a jackass. I think it's so arrogant of the Bush administration to go around and say other countries are a "threat" because they have weapons and shouldn't be able to defend themselves. :mad: And yet here we are bombing people and have the most wmd's in the world.
