There was another leak that the media has forgotten.

The one that happened when the Dems were having their convention before the election and got Pakistan's underwear in a bunch. He was a double agent working in Pakistan that Pakistan had flipped to help gather intel on Al Queda. The administration gave his name to the news media and blew his cover. I think his name was Noor. How come that leak isn't being punished???? Answer..because Condi Rice gave his name out.

1. You're right about that. didn't someone give out our battle plan

to the Russians?

[shraby]

3. That one about the battle plan went into the memory hole

almost as quick as it popped up.

6. I seem to remember Chalabi having access to the plan. I seem

to remember he gave them to the Iranians, but I am not too sure about that.

7. Oh, that wasn't a "leak"...

... is was just a... uh... spontaneous declassification. Yeah, that's the ticket.

8. Still think it's tinfoil hat-thinking to argue that the chaos in Iraq...

is administration POLICY?

It's increasingly self-evident it's part of a long-range plan to make the Middle East safe for capitalism by imposing Islamic theocracy. Indeed -- and about this there is no debate at all -- the plan itself dates back to the first year of the Eisenhower Administration, 1953, when the United states began financing the resurrection of Islamic Fundamentalism for precisely that reason: to counteract the increasing popularity of Marxism in the Middle East.

Same theory, by the way, under which Christian theocracy is being imposed on the United States: to make the nation safe for capitalism by suppressing any and all potential of dissent -- deliberate restoration of the Christian Dark Ages, this time forever.
