Hey Dum Dum
DRUDGE REPORT FLASH 2006�: "Here's my fundamental view of this, that you have somebody being fired from the CIA for allegedly telling the truth, and you have no one fired from the white house for revealing a CIA agent in order to support a lie. That underscores what's really wrong in Washington, DC Here."
Think about if this were Kerry himself. He would not call what the White House did a leak, because it isn't a leak if the President declassifies the information. Did the President pretend not to declassify it? Yes. Might he have done that to make the Democrats do the wild goose chase thing and in the end look bad? Uh, maybe. Did it wok? Uh, yeah. So, there is not comparison between a CIA officer spilling one of our top secrets to a member of the press and the President declassifying an officer's name who was not very careful about her identity to begin with (or so it seems). Speaking of the truth, Kerry should be more careful with how he says these things. While there may be political parrots among the American public, there are some of us who think too. We know when he is being either dopey or disingenuous or both.
