Intelligence Manipulation at the Washington Post

Let thm keep on keeping on, and they will become as irrelevent as the U.N. in the mind of John Bolton.

It is clearly time for a new, information-age media; one that is not beholden to the damnable, sociopathic corporations, but to the people of this country.

Wonder when their advertisers are going to get it?

Intelligence Manipulation at the Washington Post:

"Newspaper editorial pages are entitled to their own opinions, but not to their own facts. The Washington Post's editorial page, however, seems to want to have it both ways.

The paper's April 9 editorial, 'A Good Leak,' defended the White House's actions amid new revelations in the investigation of the leaking of an undercover CIA employee's name to reporters. CIA analyst Valerie Plame Wilson was outed by administration sources in July 2003 after her husband, former diplomat Joseph Wilson, publicly challenged a key White House argument for war, that Iraq was attempting to procure uranium from Africa.

Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald recently filed new documents indicating that Lewis 'Scooter' Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, testified that he was authorized by George W. Bush to release portions of a classified National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) to reporters to rebut Wilson's criticisms of the case for war."
