Leaking Like a Sieve

[Beetwasher]

Washington is leak crazy I tells ya! First (sort of) we have the leak by high officials in the admin. that Valerie Plame was a covert CIA operative doing important work that now, thanks to them, is all comprised along w/ the nat'l security of this country as an added "benefit" of that brilliant move. That was a big no no.

As a matter of fact, the Chimp was so mad about it and leaks in general, that he had a major hissy fit in which he pounded his fist very commander in chief like fer sure! And demanded an end to the leaks! Yay! We know this cuz it was leaked :freak:

Now, yet another leak, but this one's a doozy! It seems Rummy might be drinking heavily, because his internal defense department memos (hmm, I wonder what the security clearance is on something like that? Do you think they let the janitor peek at those?) seem to be completely out of whack with the propoganda he spews to reporters! No, really, it seems he doesn't truly believe his own bullshit and harbours doubts about the admins. omnipotence!

I think I hear someone calling for the little dutch boy w/ the pudgy fingers...

Now I ask you. What can be so hard about painting this bunch of clowns as untrustworthy? It has to be glaringly obvious to anyone with a few grams of grey matter that these mayberry machiavellis are grossly incompetent. <sigh> How I wish we had a free press...

1. Pretty obvious who's behind the leaked Rummy memo.

It's Rummy. They're just getting the message out that it's gonna be a Forever War so they can't be ambushed with that fact closer to th election.

5. No Way! It's Way Too Damaging

This is devastating to Rummy's credibility. He was set up, I guarantee it.

It's also damaging the admin as a whole. This is yet another MAJOR leak involving national security! Even after Chimpy had his little hissy fit.

This has CIA written all over it. Their trying to neutralize Rummy. I started a thread on this a few weeks ago:

2. Anything more dangerous than grossly incompetent Machiavellians?

Yes, they said these were the "adults" that would be back in charge.
My god! Put the youngsters back in charge. They were so much more competent.

3. I have noticed for quite some time that

they aren't saying anything about the adults being in charge.

4. Woah - This is how revolutions start.

Count me in.

On edit:

Maybe there are idealist American patriots among them, who are waking up and realizing these zealots they're working for are madmen.

Or the CIA isn't going to let this Plame thing go away and they've activated their mole in Rumsfeld's Office.

Anyway -- count me in.

8. The CIA is pissed

Or at least elements w/in it. That much is fairly certain IMO...
