surprise, surprise!

President Bush asserted this week that the news media published a U.S. government leak in 1998 about Osama bin Laden's use of a satellite phone, alerting the al Qaeda leader to government monitoring and prompting him to abandon the device.

The story of the vicious leak that destroyed a valuable intelligence operation was first reported by a best-selling book, validated by the Sept. 11 commission and then repeated by the president.

1. I love it.

Just line the presstitutes up, feed them BS and outright lies and they`ll run right back to their cubbies and spread the word.

"Today President Bush said....." means diddly-squat.

2. More neo-con bullying of the press

The anthrax attacks weren't enough. We're into a new phase of silencing the press. Any inquiry into intelligence matters or criticism of the war is un-American.

Cheney, Beria of the new totalitarian regime says the party that spys on on own citizens in violation of the Constitution needs more power.

The pitiful weak kneed Congress buys the bs.

Newsflash for the totalitarians it's the Constitution that protects all Americans, not the Patriot Act, which is an attack on the Constitution.

3. Well, this means bush** still has a perfect score for telling whoppers,

doesn't it? I mean, he can hardly break with tradition and tell the truth for once, could he?

Most people would be embarrassed for being caught lying as much as he does. There's something seriously wrong with that guy.

4. It's the hinges on his jaws.... worn out from lying, you can see them

swaying in the wind from time to time.....

5. Of course it is. Bush's lips were moving.

And it was a ridiculous point on his part, anyway. Abuse our Constitutional rights to expand police abilities and the bad guys just change their tactics - so you might as well not abuse the Constitutional rights in the first place. It was the most-strained logic of his in a while.

Nominated.

6. Wow, reading the story it was obvious too....

I mean, first the taliban publicly says it, then Bin Laden himself says he uses sattelite phone, and THEN its gets leaked ???

[Disturbed]

7. This Silverspoon Sociopath really believes that most...

Amerikans will take him at his word. Sadly, millions do so. When most Ameirkans no longer care if the Pres. and his criminal gang lie, steal and cheat and violate The Constitution and The Bill of Rights America has turned into Amerika, another Fascist Police State.

8. Most americans are in denial.

Its really hard to give up the sunny "its all okay" reality for the dark questioning of the highest reaches of government and the populace. It takes a lot of courage. That's why people who do it are so important.
