The cover-up takes another turn. The story isn't going away, so this Hersh story is the next level of cover for the guilty in the administration. The hilarious twist to this story they "leak" to Hersh is, get this, insider CIA agents did it to "show Cheney a lesson".
That's a good one. Risk a capital offense to "show Cheney a lesson, hoping it'll be a lower-level official". Now thing about this -- the set this trap, and as it gets serious don't send in an anonymous message, "hey, it's a phony, don't use it", and let it get into the SOTU.
Right. I'm a retired CIA agent and I'm going to risk prison or death 'cause I'm cranky.
They'll have a fall guy in the wings, who'll get $10 million for taking the dive, no jail time, and a pardon in '08. |
