Clark Calls for Independent Investigation into CIA Leak
http://www.clark04.com/press/release/005/

<snip>


"The Administration should not play politics with this matter. This issue is too important for political gamesmanship or to be managed by the John Ashcroft Justice Department," General Wesley Clark said. "The investigation must be independent of the Justice Department - otherwise the investigation could be influenced by political considerations. That is why President Bush should immediately refer this entire matter to a completely independent body - a body with credibility both in our country and with our allies around the world."

<snip>

"Given the persistent questions about the Administration's use of intelligence to justify the war in Iraq, only an independent body can determine whether intelligence was manipulated for political purposes and whether, as a result of possible manipulation, there exists an intelligence gap that will have implications for our national security," said General Clark.

1. A request that's urgent, reasonable, prudent, AND...
Not shrill. Still more level-headed thoughts shared by the General! :D

Add more heat! I like it. Nice tag team work with Dean. Nice counter-balance to the shrug-off from Novak - this is the one that will stick, not Novak's blow off.

4. Hey, and then there were three!
Dean, Kerry, and Clark. Kudos to all of them. I wonder when Lieberman "comes on board?"

9. Right on, General!
Resistance may be futile, but I still feel comforted by this wonderful man, who, IMO, just might be able to save US, and the world, from BFEE.

13. I like
that he also brought in again the fact that this IS a matter which will be of critical importance to our allies abroad. This is not just a little matter of internal kiddie shenanigins. They finally screwed the pooch on this one I think. :nuke:
