"Conservative" assumption

[Ilsa]

Okay, you have top security clearance in the White House. You know that 90% of the people in the WMD counter-proliferation dept are covert. Wouldn't it be a *a-hem* "conservative" assumption that Plame or anyone else is covert instead of whining "We didn't know she was covert"?

This WH is so practiced at lying and rationalizing that they no longer know right from wrong. Ages ago they got so depressed from the cognitive dissonnance from their unethical and immoral behavior that the part of the brain that induces guilt withered away.

1. They only know right from left.

2. That's a very astute observation!

3. Pardon the use of an over-worked word, but their operational meme is

"Everything is relative" and all you have to do is either construct or deconstruct the situation to establish what is "true", a task any relatively bright individual can accomplish.

They are like adolescents who do not notice, when they say "There are no absolutes; Everything is relative", that they've just stated an absolute.

4. No they all don't have this high security clearance

If you go back and check I read somewhere that rove did not have a high enough security or the type of security that had access to covert CIA agents. I am going to go back and check.

It also said that cheney could not de-classify information that he needed bush's approval.

6. I thought Bush gave Cheney authority to declassify. nt

5. "No longer know right from wrong"

I fear you have made the argument complete. Loonies in the WH, and a population that is being dangled over a cliff.
