Bush Confused About Leaks

Larry C Johnson

Bullshit alert! After watching George Bush and Dick Cheney weep and wail over the "damage" done by the New York Times for reporting that financial data is being dumped into the CIA as part of an effort to find terrorist networks, I kept waiting for Darryl Hannah to pop up and say, "Live, from New York, it's Saturday Night". Does George have Alzheimer's Disease? Has he forgotten that he used to love the New York Times? The only thing funnier is that most of the main stream media is reporting the antics of these clowns as straight up news.

I guess Bush and Cheney decided that leaks to the New York Times were no longer kosher when their go to girl, Judith Miller, got canned. Of course, Judy wasn't the only member of the now "traitorous" New York Times to benefit from White House largesse. Doug Jehl published a piece on August 2, 2004 that exposed an Al Qaeda informant:



........................

We should also remember that the New York Times was not the only friendly outlet for planting "news". White House officials turned to Time Magazine and the Chicago Sun Times in shopping information about Valerie Plame, an undercover CIA officer. For this White House, leaking classified information that damages national security is okay as long as it can be used to save the President's political reputation.

President Bush crying about "leaks" to the New York Times is like listening to former Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss complain about sexual promiscuity. Sorry George, we ain't buying your song and dance.

is about intimidating the major newspapers into silence in regard to this criminal regime's activities.

Why aren't they going after the leaker? Because the banking story was deliberately leaked in order to create justification to go after the newspapers.

to both blast the papers publicly and seek the leaker privately.

This doesn't negate your main suggestion however (intentional leak to set up papers).

But I thinking back to the leak of the CIA gulags (wasn't that the Times as well?) and they did not go after the leaker privately. They talked about it publically.

I could be wrong.

way.

9/ll speechifying, saying how they would be going after the banking practices of any supposed terraists. So it's no big surprise, it's just another diversion. If they can do away w/the 'free' press while they're at it, so much the better.
And did I mention what hypocrites they are?

Why aren't georgie and dickie going after that paper too?

,...'94, "CIPA",...and tell us how they are leaving out the juicy parts which DO NOT intrude upon "whistle-blower" protections for revealing illegal acts by government officials.

Please, tell us about THAT, if it exists. Thing is, the "ruling" party has been on a long-term mission to concentrate power. It has LITERALLY been a conspiracy to acquire and concentrate wealth and power, and they are going to fight like hell to keep it.
