7. But the CIA is not alone at this point...
...because we've been seeing damaging leaks from inside the military as well. The military has come to the realization that they were swindled by the Bushies and committed to a war that can't be won. As casualties mount in Afghanistan and Iraq, the rumbling grows louder.

Additionally, the CIA would not have gone public with this particular issue unless they knew with a near 100% probability that a strong faction within the DOJ is willing to conduct a REAL investigation. Ashcroft is already facing opposition from Federal judges that are making rulings that are NOT supportive of the Patriot Act and/or his proposal that all sentencing be done at the maximum possible levels.

Getting back to the mainstream press for a moment, I think we all know at this point that they are owned...lock, stock and barrel...by very large and very conservative corporations. My sense of the current tone of reporting is that the press' conservative owners have had enough of the Bushies and their empty promises about making the economy healthy. The only way for those companies can continue to turn a profit is by laying off employees, and that is making a lot of people very unhappy. They have unleashed the hounds of journalism and stories are starting to appear on television and in print that I thought would never see the light of day.

One more point...the CIA knows where the figurative bodies are buried, and they will continue to release information until they get what they want. I personally believe at this point that their ultimate goal is to see the Bushies removed from power.
