If [foreign leaders' statements about Bush] were actually made, (and it's hard to tell when since he hasn't been in a position to meet with foreign leaders in the past year), and if they were intended to be kept confidential, he had no business disclosing them at all. I agree Kerry was indiscreet, but that's a different ground of attack than that such sentiments weren't expressed to him. His remark is credible in light of years of reports of the alarm and distress of European leaders about Bush's presidency, and indeed, in light of Bush's stream of insults to foreign leaders he can't bully. Remember "Old Europe"? As for not meeting with foreign leaders in the past year, you don't have to get on a sailing ship to talk to them any more. They have telephones, besides the fact that I don't think Kerry said their remarks were made only in the past year.
