Montgomery Burns Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Posted March 9, 2006 I know I asked ppl not to drag the US into this, but since it is my thread I am allowed to do so. You won't believe this: "We do not want to inadvertently threaten human life or legitimately harm national security in our reporting," [Leonard Downie Jr., executive editor of The Washington Post] said. You just know that 3 letter word is coming up next... "But it’s important . . . in our constitutional system that these final decisions be made by newspaper editors and not the government." It’s important in the US constitutional system that the final decision as to what information during wartime should be classified or not...should be made by newspaper editors rather than elected representatives of the people? Wow. No wonder these arrogant elitists are losing reader and viewership. Hmmm... I wonder why there would be an "out of control" leaking of classified information by government officials with access to the info. Maybe people inside intelegeince community trying to draw attention to the true nature of their governments war mongering? No, couldnt be. We should allow this unlawful admin to countinue classifying anything that may expose their 'war on terror' for what it really is. Special FBI agents are interviewing dozens of people and the leaks seem to be pointing towards co-chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Jay Rockefeller, Senator Dick Durbin, and Senator Ron Wyden. Apparently all 3 are going to be asked to take a polygraph test. The Bush administration has had numerous leaks crucial to American security. The Democrats are so partisan, that they want to cripple America--because that would make Bush look bad. Hopefully the are charged with crimes against America - treason - and are indicted. Same with the NY Times for alerting the terrorists that the Bush adinistration was eavesdropping on their phone calls. Quote "Anybody who doesn't appreciate what America has done, and President Bush, let them go to hell!" -- Iraqi Betty Dawisha, after dropping her vote in the ballot box, wields The Cluebat™ to the anti-liberty crowd on Dec 13, 2005. "Call me crazy, but I think they [iraqis] were happy with thier [sic] dumpy homes before the USA levelled so many of them" -- Gerryhatrick, Feb 3, 2006.
