so thre freeps buy the "if the pres. does it, its not a leak"...then how

[salin]

do they explain the president speaking out on and against the leak - in this very case? How do they explain this means for quickly disposing of the story in the first week (back in 2003) if this were the case? Some very hard contortions one has to make to 'buy' the line being spun.

1. They avoid that subject like the plaugue....

if they mention it all I'll bet they say it was just part of the stratagy of war....

[salin]

4. can't let the terrorists know he had declasified the info

as it would somehow help their cause? :shrug:

2. "Outing" CIA agent is a crime even if it is not a "leak".

Let's see.

Authorized outing of CIA agent.

Spied on citizens in violation of FISA.

Lied to Congress about pre-war intelligence.

Obstructed justice for above.

How much more guilty does this asshole have to be?:banghead:

5. he has out nixoned nixon... over and over again.

3. Even the President can't lie to a US Attorney

That's what this is all about. Bush told Fitz he didn't know about the efforts of his underlings to discredit Wilson. We now learn that he ordered them to leak classified CIA documents to do just that. It's called Obstruction of Justice.

Even a Freeper can understand that.

Case closed.

6. something almost poetic of it coming down to the Obstruction

of Justice... given what he had to hear ad nauseum during the Clinton years.

[Touchdown]

7. If the president lies about a blow job,

then it's not obstruction of justice.

Whats good for the goose freeps...

8. BOOM!!!! Best Response. We need to repeat it.
