.....to ask the question anymore. Has the White House become an absolute sieve? Is there anything there that's still secret? Are all the shredders at the Pentagon really just fax machines to the New York Times?
Two days before he resigned as defense secretary, Donald H. Rumsfeld submitted a classified memo to the White House that acknowledged that the Bush administration’s strategy in Iraq was not working and called for a major course correction.
Is anyone, anywhere doing anything about this crap?
Told that The New York Times had obtained a copy of it, a Pentagon spokesman, Eric Ruff, confirmed its authenticity. “As it became clear that people were considering options for the way forward, the secretary had some views on the subject, and this memo reflects those views,” he said.
How about "Told that The New York Times had obtained a copy of it, several FBI agents took the NY Times representative into custody and are questioning him as to how he obtained a classified document."????????? How about that????????? Can we do that???????
The President clearly needs a Grand Vizier like Princess Crabby's. As a matter of fact, since I have the best one, I would loan him mine.

I really think this leak and the last one (re: Maliki) were intentional by the White House. There is so much back-room politicking going on around the Baker report and I think this is part of it.
FbL - Maybe, I guess....still I am weary.
Bit of a spammer isn't he?
I agree with Fuzzy. Besides bashing the reporters for the leak doesn't work for me. They need to fix them on the inside.
Here's some more alon the lines of what Trias and I have been thinking: http://www.mudvillegazette.com/milblogs/2006/12/03/#007252
the morass of pentagon excesses speaks to the upper tier of 'things that need to be fixed.' my experience is more basic - i am a civilian living near a military base in Georgia. the pace, pain, and anguish we are placing upon our soldiers and their families, young and old alike, is incredible. divorce, suicide, homicide, child abuse, and addictions don't make the evening news, but the trauma is real; especially when it is next door and throughout your neighborhood.
i am a republican through and through, yet must ask...is the price we are paying in lives, money, morale, and agenda (the entire republican agenda has perhaps been sacrified)worth it?
i think not...as one much smarter than i states often, "it is never about what you do; but rather why you do it." when the motive is wrong, the outcome will indicate it! history will judge. it is my hope that the negative history this war has already evoked be more individualistic than corporate (the party). there is still time for the party to stand up, admit mistakes and move on!!!
