Bush leaks crackdown soon...
http://www.rawstory.com/showarticle.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.yahoo.com%2Fs%2Fnm%2F20060712%2Fpl_nm%2Fsecurity_hoekstra_dc%26printer%3D1%3B_ylt%3DApjcBd7XK_AwNav35pWWQOAb.3QA%3B_ylu%3DX3oDMTA3MXN1bHE0BHNlYwN0bWE-

Bush is preparing to prosecute journalists and whistleblowers for leaking information...But Rove and Cheny get to keep their jobs after killing a deep-cover CIA operation to get revenge on joe Wilson.

Doesn't this mentally and emotionally retarded man(?) get the hypocrisy?

1. No.
Is the short answer.

The long answer is that the whole damn bunch think that the whole point of power is to avoid the law and remake a fascist state.

So far, they're doing quite well too.........

5. The press needs to get some balls
and have their own revolution. Or maybe they want to just report on missing blondes and celebrity prenancies all day. Seems like it.

10. I think the lizards will probably opt for the underground bunkers
There is a creative precedent in the Morlocks after all and it seems these monsters get their ideas from apocalyptic sci fi stories.

7. He's amoral; just like the rest of his cohorts.
They have one objective - POWER. Doesn't matter what they do to keep it, including trashing the Constitution and selling out our country, they'll do it. I firmly believe they are capable of anything to stay right where they are.

9. A MUST READ quote from the linked article:

"More frequently than what we would like, we find out that the intelligence community has been penetrated, not necessarily by al Qaeda, but by other nations or organizations," he said.

"I don't have any evidence. But from my perspective, when you have information that is leaked that is clearly helpful to our enemy, you cannot discount that possibility," he added.

I DON'T HAVE ANY EVIDENCE.

These people need to be thrown from office

11. He'll start declaring reporters enemy combatants
or flat out charge them with treason. Our press was nearly dead already. This is the final nail in the coffin of democracy.

12. Will he have Condi prosecuted for leaking "on background" too?

And for- you know-- blowing up a real big sting operation in TWOT?

I bring this up every time I read these Bush threats, because I think she is just one more case that leaves him nowhere to go with his crap in all reality...

This Rice story got all of about 5 minutes in the subservient press in the big terruh scare brou-ha in the summer of 2004.

Maybe the press needs to turn the tables in the conversation and go back and look at that one a little longer.
