Lorne -

No, not necessarily. I was just responding to the article you posted about the leaked top-secret memo that purportedly proves that Al Qaeda and Hussein were linked. Since you were the one who posted the article, the response was addressed to you. The term "neo-con", however, was meant to be applied generally to the dominant voices on this thread.

I noticed that a couple of posters here simply took the article at face value, as definitive proof that such a link existed, and didn't seem to have any problem with the leaking of the memo.

The reason I brought up the question of whether anyone might be concerned about the leak is that I can see a double standard being employed by many of the conservatives on this thread.

I believe that if a liberal paper had published an article based on a leaked top-secret memo that detailed how the Bush administration first decided to go to war with Iraq and then started trying to find ways to justify that, people like GZ would be calling the author and editors traitors, and demanding an investigation into the leak.

If you're more reasonable than that, I'm glad to hear it.

PS: I would define "neo-con" as describing adherents to the currently fashionable conservative ideology espoused by the Bush Administration.
