This post is based on unsubstantiated and leftwing biased reporting. However, if true, all the left wing spin in the post cannot hide the true implications of this news. What interests me is the possibility that the source of the reporting – the French Intel Reports – are accurate. If so then this is just […]

What I really like about this administration is the people all serve for a hire purpose. They shun polls, they go forth in the face of bad press, and they stick by their positions no matter what. And they do it quietly (something that truly sets them apart from the camera hungry pols and bureacrats […]

In Fitzgerald’s latest filing he demonstrates a level of twisted logic (immersed in tortured english grammar) I find stunning. To us mathematically oriented the terms ‘likely’ and ‘unlikely’ are ends of a common spectrum called ‘probability’.

Scooter Libby won a decision against Time and Cooper, which doesn’t bode well for the other media outlets and personalities facing subpoenas or Fitzgerald: A federal judge on Friday ordered Time magazine to turn over documents for a White House aide to use in his defense to perjury and other charges in the CIA leak […]

Hat Tip to Mac Ranger on this CNN report regarding the focus on Congress as the source of the leaks to the NY Times regarding the NY Times story. Recall that the original leaks occurred a year before the story broke last fall – so the leak happened during or prior to December ’04: The […]

When someone compares Mexico to Bin Laden and Al Qaeda it is time to write them off your list of people to listen to: Consult with Mexico about securing US borders? Can you imagine? That’s like conferring with Osama bin Laden prior to implementing airport security. You know, if you cannot discern the difference between […]

General Hayden was confirmed in a totally lopsided vote as the new head of the CIA in the Senate today: May 26 (Bloomberg) — The U.S. Senate voted 78-15 today to confirm Michael Hayden as director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Hayden, who is deputy director for national intelligence, will take over an agency that […]
