Do you realize how seriously you've been insulted today? Leak
cover-up. Starting yesterday and spreading today, corporate propaganda networks in partnership with the White House have managed to bamboozle us all.

They have twisted EVERYTHING to make it seem that Plame was declassified.

The general public only knows about the Plame leak. They are vague on the details because the right wing has had two years to lie and distort the facts.

So yesterday and today the right wing took a brand new piece of news regarding a REPORT - a REPORT that is totally separate from Plame and Brewster-Jennings and reversed waved their wand and made Plame the report.

They performed a CROSSOVER. Magic psy-ops from the school of the right wing.

They are making the CLAIM that Bush declassifed something and that it cleanses him of a crime.

Now, put me on the path to understanding if I'm wrong. But declassifying a REPORT and making it availble to JUDY (and/or others) is not the same as a LAW PERTAINING TO THE CIA.

They are two separate things. The LAW was around from the 1980's. The REPORT was new and contemporary and uniquely focused on Iraq War 2. Right?

What they are saying is that this REPORT, prepared to justify the vote by Congress, was originally classified and that George declassified it - around the time that the outing took place, but independently of it. Right?

BUT they make it sound as though Plame was declassified.

Is this the best trick they've ever pulled on us?

How long will corporate propaganda networks get away with this?

I hope Amy Goodmand addresses this immediately.

This is how the publica stays dumb. Only the law is going to save us. But not if it goes to the Supreme Court.

This country is destroying itself if the legal community doesn't do something, but not the Supreme Court.

Hos bad is it that you can't believe and trust in anyone who we are apying to lead us?

Cheated. Cheated, big time.

1. None of the spin matters, Fitz holds all the cards
And his grand jury makes judgments based on the REAL law.

BushCo has all the stops pulled and everybody can see the desperation regardless of how the media tries to hide it.

3. It will be interesting to see......
how much Fitz's investigation cost us...money that could have been used for so many other things if * had just come clean from the get-go.

Also, how much money was lost in uncovering Brewster-Jennings and how did that affect our present intelligence-gathering on Iran's nuclear program? All for BushCo's folly. What a waste.

4. That really is the diamond in the rough. The prosecutor doesn't care--
about spin.
