Do you really think this White House has the what-with-all to actually think straight? They are setting a pattern of conspiracy.
Remember this that came out this week???? Bush and his staff must go asap or the war on terror is doomed.
FROM AN ARTICLE OFF BUZZFLASH:
It appears that the Valerie Plame leak was only one of the White House’s spy leaks that may lead to the deaths of coalition agents and civilians. ABC and the Pakistani government have gone on record saying that last year, timed to coincide with the height of the media hype surrounding the Democratic convention, the White House prematurely leaked news of a Pakistani Al Qaeda capture in order to steal the media thunder of candidate Kerry.
Well here we are:
Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan, had become a deep cover agent for the UK and Pakistani governments, and HAD ON HIS LAPTOP THE PLANS FOR THE BUS BOMBING THAT JUST OCCURRED IN LONDON! His mission had to be prematurely aborted as a result, and the first Al Qaeda mole was a bust. But Tom Ridge and the Department of Homeland Security got the headline grabbing story and stole the media thunder from the Convention.
And so we see, once again for the sake of political expediency, the Bush Administration jeopardized an agent. And this time with deadly, directly related consequences.
My opinion next~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Can we honestly believe that this WH is innocent of much of anything! It does seem a pattern is being set. We can not afford much more of this kind of behavior, for our nation’s security, let alone the world’s security.
This administration, and it’s supporters right on down to the general american public,(the neocons) are so crooked: There shadow cannot keep up with them in broad daylight!
The general attitude in society today is so greedy that no one can be trusted, AT ALL.
It seems to be a disease that has ravaged our society, and has spread worse than any other witnessed throughout our history.
I’ve heard comments from people saying, “how do they sleep at night” Well frankly they sleep very well, and thrive on the energy derived from theft from others, all the while the current trend and legal status protecting the theives.
This is truly the dark ages of mankind, and I don’t think the other mentioned in history will hold a candle to it before it’s over.
Outing CIA agents is a risky and ultimately self-defeating strategy, because not only do you lose the information you would have gotten from that agent, and hurt future recruiting, but also because you raise the ire of the rest of the agents. Who, by “accidentally” failing to feed you crucial information, or by putting a slightly inaccurate spin on something, can not only make you look very bad / very stupid indeed, but can leave you, in effect, “fighting through a fog.” Look at how J. Edgar Hoover dealt with “difficult” presidents…
Screwing with any kind of intelligence agency for political hackery is about as dumb as it gets.

Provocateurs in Iraq by William Bowles – Oct. 28, 2004
Then in April of 2003 following Colin Powell’s ‘revelations’ about al-Zarqawi at the UN, the headquarters of Ansar-al-Islam was pulverised by repeated missile attacks, under the pretext of it being a centre for the production of chemical and biological weapons. An allegation, subsequently shown to be a complete invention of the US. [1]
In fact, the scope and range of Abu Musaab al-Zarqawi’s operations is pretty impressive for one man. Involving alleged ‘dirty bombs’ in the US (Feb 2003), through to Ricin (also Feb 2003), all manner of horrors including radiation, germs and poison, allegedly to be used before March 31, 2003 in the US (Newsweek, 24 February 2003) that also proved to be a fabrication.
Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi
Al Zarqawi has also been accused of planning attacks using Ricin in Europe including an attack on London Underground in January 2003, that ‘coincided’ with Bush’s visit. Then there’s al-Zarqawi’s alleged involvement in the production of explosives and lethal chemicals for attacks in Spain, once again shown to be inventions.

I call it burning your bridges behind you in a fashion that we can never begin to retrieve the information needed to keep us or anyone else safe in this world anymore.
This administration and its fingers of being corrupt is so unbelievable! I can not for the life of me understand why they put themselves ahead of security!! I can only hope that they do fall big time and get justice as best as can be given. I only hope that the UK will see that being with dubya is dangerous, to say the least.
Any investigations and workings on future intelligence, is not worth this groups attention. I only hope that the world see that they can not be trusted for anything and bypass them for anything. They are simply too damn dangerous to be notified;
therefore, bringing us to the most dangerous position ever! So sad!
If I could look into a crystal ball, I’d be intrigued as to how the Bush presidency will be judged. However for that to happen, we actually have to HAVE a future to be written about.
