Hit with a rash of truth, RNC tells a lie and right wing loses it

[ProSense]

In response to Kerry's speech Saturday, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee denied the party questioned anyone's patriotism.

"While we have never questioned Democrats' patriotism, we do question John Kerry's motives, considering his eagerness to engage in political theatrics as he ponders a presidential run," Tracey Schmitt said.

Culture of Treason (Rush Limpballs)
... What we’re dealing with here is a culture of treason: inside the CIA; inside the drive-by media; and yes... inside the Democratic Party.

A New Kind Of McCarthyism (Investor's Business Daily)

Unlike Kerry, we wonder not why McCarthy was fired, but why she's not being prosecuted. Make no mistake: She damaged the nation's security by revealing what she knew -- or, at least, what she thought she knew -- about the CIA's rendition program.

Snip...

As CIA chief Porter Goss said in February: "The damage has been very severe to our capabilities to carry out our mission."

Goss on Plame leak in November 2004:

Even more vexing to CIA veterans was Goss' willingness as a congressman to demean the agency if it meant protecting Bush. Though Langley had successfully prevailed on the Justice Department to investigate an administration leak of the identity of undercover operative Valerie Plame -- a potentially criminal act aimed at discrediting Plame's husband, Ambassador Joe Wilson, who had exposed Bush's duplicity about supposed Iraqi attempts at acquiring nuclear material from Niger -- Goss dismissed the entire scandal as "wild and unsubstantiated allegations." He tastefully told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune in October 2003, "Somebody sends me a blue dress and some DNA, I'll have an investigation."

1. What a disgusting quote and attitude

by Goss regarding the Plame leak. He can dismiss one of his own agents and even more Brewster-Jennings cover being blown that way?

It must be hell working there now if you aren't a bush lackey, if you take pride in your work.

2. Goss is a Bushbot...he doesn't care about professional CIA agents

nor about providing real, verifiable intelligence.

3. Why do people whistleblow to the media?

Because we don't have a Congress to do oversight and hold the Executive Branch accountable. Sorry, Republicans...if you want to play politics and allow this administration to break the law, people have no choice but to go public. Truth has a nasty way of getting exposed.
