Between Conscience and Unconscionable | TPMCafe


Again, Larry gets it right!

Between Conscience and Unconscionable TPMCafe:

"Now that Newsweek has slowed the Mary McCarthy lynch mob with its story that Mary emphatically denies she was the source of the leak, it is worth considering whether there are good leaks or nothing but bad leaks. Watching the right wing whackos on this issue is particularly fascinating and entertaining. When it comes to exposing the identity of Valerie Wilson, a case officer who worked most of her career as a non-official cover officer, Bush loyalists do more back flips and rely on more contortionist mental jumps than the Soviet national gymnastic's team in its hey day to justify her exposure. They will say anything to excuse inexcusable behavior. Come to think of it, they are acting like their fearless leader, George W. Bush.

The body of evidence that George Bush lied about the rationale for going to war is increasing at almost the same rate as the price of gasoline. The October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate offered a mixed judgment on whether Iraq was rebuilding its nuclear capability. The CIA and DIA supported the notion and the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research and the Department of Energy said no."
