If the Bush Administration 'authorized' leaks, then why on Earth...

[ck4829]

Have they been so secretive about it?

There's all this talk that they may have authorized the leaks.

Cheney himself said this in an interview recently.

It's finally time to point the RW Mantra back at them...

"If you haven't done anything illegal, then you have nothing to hide."

Face it, crimes were committed in the Bush WH.

.... if it's a leak and there's no outrage, then they keep on doing it and possibly even make it known policy.

.... if it's a leak and people go ballistic, then the WH says 'Why I never!' and further covers its ass.

2. Does this mean George lied when he promised to find the leakers

in the Whitehouse and cooperate with Fitzgerald? Does this mean when Bush and Cheney met with Fitz they forgot to tell him that they had declassified Brewster Jennings etc.

Naw the President would never ever lie. Well unless he had to, to protect the Amuurican People.

6. Yep. His lips were moving.

:shrug: The very notion that they didn't know they 'authorized' an abuse of power for political purposes is stunning in its scope and depth of corruption.

3. Media lies - Cheney EO says he can classify - does not say he can

declassify and leak.

5. Oh, Bull Fucking Shit!

They can't lie their way out of it anymore, so now they claim they had planned it all along. How many God Damned times do these liars get to change their story to cover their asses?

They already tanked this claim from the very beginning, when they got caught in their smear campaign against the truth and anyone who spoke it.

Jesus Christ, are they going to claim they are a bunch of juvenile delinquents running this country next, so it's not their fault that they don't know any better?

7. It's our fault for trusting them.
