>>>One 'senior administration official' tells CNN that "the discovery was not made public sooner because standard intelligence practice is not to let the enemy know such information."<<<

Hmmm. Not let the enemy know, huh? Geez, it wasn't that long ago when the US intercepted an Al Qaeda courrier who was attempting to deliver a call for insurgent reinforcements in Iraq. Interestingly, the US did the work for the courrier as it announced publicly to the world that it had intercepted a courrier who was calling for insurgent reinforcements into Iraq.

Were I an Ernie Pyle reporter nearby when that courrier got intercepted, I would have remained mum and wouldn't have reported anything in fear of not wanting to help the enemy. I mean why publicize the enemy's call for reinforcements?

Of course, the courrier's message got widely reported because the Bush Administration wanted to make a political point here in America, as it sought to show every possible Al Qaeda connection it could muster or make appear as real. The reality is that Al Qaeda connections didn't come into Iraq until after Bush's ill-fated invasion of the country.

Bush is the dumbest commander-in-chief America has ever seen!!!
