Ashcroft Sees Progress in CIA Leak Probe

The AG calls it a LEAK ... it's a FELONY, JOHN! He's getting his playbook from the WH.

<http://customwire.ap.org/dynamic/stories/C/CIA_LEAK?SITE=DCTMS&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT>

"I am directing and will do everything within my power to make sure that this investigation is professional, thorough, prompt and complete," Ashcroft told reporters. "This is a matter of great concern to me. Leaks are a serious matter."

1. Ashcroft's idea of 'progress': Media downplays until people forget.
These guys are criminals. I think that's blatantly obvious.

2. is he overseeing the shredding?
I would have thought Cheney could handle it on his own, with his experience.

3. Nope, A$$croft needs "plausible deniability"
He is in charge of the LIHOP aspect of this "investigation".

I guess you might call it LTOWOP

"Look the Other Way on Purpose"

I believe his investigation will be as through as Himmler's "investigation" of the Death Camps.

Ashcroft will look to "improve the efficiency" of Bushevik lawlessness and lies.

4. Isn't that what he said about finding Mr. Anthrax?
"professional, thorough, prompt and complete"? By "prompt" he obviously means promptly AFTER the next presidential election.

6. He's basically playing chicken with the CIA.
He's going to wait until they have to cough up more dirt, thereby exposing the "bad apples" at CIA, then he'll go after each of them.

14. and the CIA will be dropping ANOTHER big bomb while shrub
is traveling in Asia for the next few days (and busy cashing in)....

the CIA will not forget...they have lots of stuff about the shrub locked-up in their closets....soon, very soon, the keys will unlock the shrub secrets for all to see....

shrub should have learned from his father...in the position of pResident, the CIA must be your friend or minimally, not your enemy....shrub now has the CIA as his enemy....

stay tuned...

10. Crazy John
"Leaks are a serious matter, like book burnings and the torturing of heretics", said Lord Crisco. "Why just last week, we applied over 30 leeches to one of the unchosen...he leaked blood all over the floor."

11. Wanna bet he nails some low-level fool with a spotty portfolio?
They'll crucify him and congratulate each other on a patriotic job well done.

12. Why is the Crisco Christian commenting on an ongoing investigation?
No conflict in a little statement to help prop up Whistle Ass?

Sometimes I wish Jesus was a vengeful God.

13. I read recently that Ashcroft
anoints himself before every public appearance. The "Crisco Christian" reminded me of that. According to the article, he ran out of oil one evening. Supposedly he had some aide run to the store to get some.

The article seemed bona fide, but the whole thing is really hard to believe. Does he believe he's...................?
