Why all the leaks to the NYT? Hadley's memo, draft report of Iraq?

The word must be out that leaks will be anonymously taken at the NYT. I think both sides are leaking to the paper. Some things should be leaked, others shouldn't. It keeps the murky waters of our government slightly more transparent.

On the Today show Matt Lauer asked Chris Matthews about the effect on the president. He said "On a scale of 1-10, 10 being a deal ender and 1 being barely a blip on the radar, where does this story fall?" Chris said "heading towards 10". People are going to say the prez couldn't have leaked it because he has the power to declassify info. therefore he can't "leak" anything. That is the spin they're going to try to put on it. However, the prez through the v.p. told Libby to do it serreptitiously (basically do it sneakily). Don't ID yourself when you put out this story. Which raises the question, if the president really wanted it declassifed why not make a speech about it? Tell the public "im telling you something that was previously classified but im going to declassify it so you get all the facts" instead of leaking it to a NY times reporter. \n\nIt is yet again another representation of this administrations continual lies and cover-ups to the American people. The people who HIRED them! They will spin this story throughout the day so that probably by the end of the day, it won't sound so bad. The sad thing is many people will buy it. I sure hope we learn our lesson the next time elections roll around.\n\nI was highly disappointed when Clinton lied about Monica. However, I have always said (even before bush was elected) that I'd rather have a prez who lies about a b.j.(because hell, he IS a guy and I don't know many men who would fess up to something like that with thier wives watching) than a prez who lies about more important issues. Issues that can get people killed. Little did I know a few years later, I'd have that very guy as my president. It's sad.

Charles Range is a puppet for the Liberal agenda. If people see that a draft is being discussed in congress then they will automatically start blaming Bush for being in the war, regardless of who proposed a draft. These libs are sneaky.

Keep watching CNN Skippy, they'll give you everything your tiny liberal mind needs to know in convenient thimble-sized servings.  The media is upset because they forced the Intelligence Committee to review the Pentagons findings and sure enough they found some.  Why is anyone surprised?  Where are the industrial centifuges capable of enriching uranium that "disappeared" under the noses of the U.N. Atomic and Weapons inspectors.\n\nWhy don't whiny liberals want to know the truth and why do they get upset when they find out they were wrong?

You have all missed the point.\n\nConfidential sources within the Government that leak classified information  are not covered by the freedom of the press.\n\nWhen a court order is issued, there is more at stake than a news story.  Often the court order compromises one case to resolve another.\n\nWhen you have someone that leaks vital information that threatens the welfare of the American People (nuclear secrets, etc), you might give up a case against a squealer to get the name of the mole.\n\nFreedom of the press means you can publish what you want.  It doesn't mean that you are free of the consequences.\n\nGeraldo got thrown out of Iraq for airing the American battle plans for Bagdad before the battle.\n\nHe shoulda been hung.

Yea I mean they say NYT is committing treason when they report about wiretapping and other things every body know. NYT now point out really technical information on nuclear technology which is more advanced than where Iranians are now, posted on freakin internet. They're still trying to dig up anything to say Sadaam had WMD and their nuts. People like Rick Sanctorum bragged about finding old cache of chemical weapons materials found in Iraq that are just ancient garbage and have been sitting in dust for years. He said 'we found WMD.' While Rumsfeld led invasion allowed people to steal materials meant for chemical weapon development.  \n\nIraqi invasion basically turned up no WMD, but gave away materials to make WMD to people who were allowed to cross borders. That's just nuts. Some of these nuts don't deserve a seat in congress.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Constitution+goddamned+piece+of+paper\n\nAfter about 400 articles or so it seems to peter off and become not about Bush anymore.  For anyone saying "there's no source", there's quite a few sources.  It just seems to be another dry-drunk bully statement that he's pretty famous among his staff for ranting, sort of like his "There won't be any diplomacy, F*** Saddam, we're taking him out."  Really repugs, learn to use a search engine.\n\nDon't get so bent out of shape, it's just another goddamned piece of paper...it's not like he wants to desecrate the flag or anything.\nhttp://americablog.blogspot.com/2006/06/did-george-bush-deface-american-flags.html

Good question!  Why wasn't leaking Plame's identity treason?  What happened to the free press, or is it only free if Bush says so?

Reporting on what has already happened is ok. That is news reporting. Problem is they like to broadcast in advance leaked planns for attack. "Sources in the pentagon say that the AirForce is planning an air strike between midnight and 6 am. They want to try and catch Osama by surprise" Is there any question why we can't find the son of a bitch when reports like this make it to the 6 o'clock news the day before the attack is supposed to happen. Do you think perhaps Osama might have someone with a satalite dish, Fox news channel, and a cell phone???

Dont.  Life needs the rumor mongers. How else will the rest of us get the news that we were not supposed to know? LOL.

Honey, I hate to tell you, but this "evidence" that 9/11 was an "inside job" was already disproven.  Don't you think that the news media would love to release it if it was so?  After all, they already had to admit that there was no actual "wire-tapping" and that the "leak" was actually the disclosure of declassified information.  It's like every time an allegation comes up, it's disproved, so they have to come up with something else.  They'd love to jump on the conspiracy theory bandwagon.  911truth.org is LIES.  So is Loose Change.  So is letsroll911.org.  The .org at the end of their names means nothing.\nMy proof?  A 100 year old magazine, with no political affiliation.  Go to www.popularmechanics.com, and search for the story about debunking the 9/11 myths.  They have actual testimony from witnesses, firemen, police officers, and scientists who studied exactly how and why those buildings came down.  \nPlease, please, please research this more thoroughly.  I've seen all those sites, I've seen the "evidence", I've watched their "documentaries".  I found them to be about as true as Fahrenheit 9/11, which Michael Moore himself admitted was mostly lies.  The rest was a distorted brand of truth and misquotes, and things taken out of context.

Clearly, there is no reason to disclose everything to everybody.\n\nWith our twisted liberal thinking these days, it's tough to decide just where to draw the line.\n\nI believe that the clamor of the masses instills a measure of defensiveness in our government agencies.\n\nTough issue to resolve in one fell swoop!

Laziness, Remember not to long ago it was found that Wikipedia got caught with their pants down in reference to Kennedy.\nEven though Commentators have said its pretty accurate now, how could they poosible research all entries in a couple of days.\nIt has to be advertisement driven, so biased editing is always possible.\nCould be it is so heavily promoted because of the dumbing down of US and lack of critical thinking skills?

The question should read What isn't he hiding. I know they tried to hide some illegitimate kids that some republicans had when grinding President Clinton. They are hiding Bin Ladin and all the dirty scheming tricks they can to milk us dry til 2008.

They are among the archetects for our current debacle/fiasco in Iraq and well as the power grab being done by the executive branch - supposedly justified by this " forever " war on terra.  No, Torture, arrest with out due process, domestic spying .... No. I can NOT trust them.  They operate under WAY too much secrecy to be trusted.

Because the "liberal media" has covered the case so well... All you heard about was Clinton for months... even before we knew he lied... you barely ever hear anything about this, I don't even think they are allowed to say CIA leak on Fox News... \n\nIf the media was HALF as bias as conservatives think it is... this would be the number 1 story every day...
