Had a bad feeling all day
Now I know why... this whole uranium/SOTU/CIA thing has me bummed out, and I mean expatriation-consideration bummed out.

Someone, anyone please -- regale me with some good news.

3. Agree
This has just got the interest level up - Tenet's "taking the blame" just shows how Bush is so arrogant he can't take the blame for anything that goes wrong in his Administration.

4. Some perspective
I've seen a couple of posts where some folks want to make lemonade, but damn, I'm tired of our best hopes and efforts getting batted down like so much cottonwood fluff. I can see a bit of light with Tenet falling on his sword and all, but its getting hard, very hard to not throw my hands up and say "I yield."

2. Yes, this may be GOOD news!!!
I feel the same, I'm prepared to expat at any time, but today's news makes the BFEE take a defensive posture for the first time. Keep asking questions! They promised a transparent administration! Make them sweat!!!

7. There are now cracks
in the facade, and they are leaking people!

NOW is not the time to give up.

NOW is the time to attack!

8. I'm encouraged by it.

Why are you bummed that the Regime's lies are coming to light? That the press, at least for today, is doing its job? Really, our only hope is that the Fraud is exposed, and this is a bit of light. An easily extinguished one, perhaps, but the first glimmer in months that our democracy is not totally strangled.

9. Thanks all!
A moment of weakness and despair, but I too see the light!
A virtual round to you all!

10. This sort of thing just raises red flags for the media
This is no longer just political sour grapes or anything like it. It's a legitimate issue and there are now at least two admissions out there that a major component of Bush's justification for WAR NOW! were baloney.

This story isn't ending, it's just beginning.
