The PUBLICANHYPOCRITACRACY at full bore here.... after IGNORING THE PLAME DISASTEROUS LEAK that endangered our entire ANTI WMD program and most likely led to many agents and their contacts being both RUINED OR KILLED>.... something they HELD UP FOR 2 FRIGGEN YEARS.... they jump on this....an IMPORTANT LEAK FOR DEMOCRACY...in a week GOP Leadership Consider Leak Probe The Associated Press Tuesday 08 November 2005 Washington - Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and House Speaker Dennis Hastert are circulating a draft letter calling for a congressional leak investigation into the disclosure of secret US interrogation centers abroad. The Washington Post reported Nov. 2 on the existence of secret US prisons in Eastern Europe for terrorism suspects. The Bush administration has neither confirmed nor denied that report. "If accurate, such an egregious disclosure could have long-term and far-reaching damaging and dangerous consequences, and will imperil our efforts to protect the American people and our homeland from terrorist attacks," stated the draft. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the draft request to Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts of Kansas and his House counterpart, Intelligence Committee Chairman Peter Hoekstra of Michigan. Frist and Hastert said the joint probe by the House and Senate intelligence committees should determine who leaked the information and under what authority. "What is the actual and potential damage done to the national security of the United States and our partners in the global war on terror?" the draft letter asked. "We will consider other changes to this mandate based on your recommendations." Frist's and Hastert's offices declined immediate comment. The letter says the leaking of classified information by employees of the US government appears to have increased in recent years, "establishing a dangerous trend that, if not addressed swiftly and firmly, likely will worsen." "We are hopeful that you will be able to accomplish this task in a bipartisan manner given general agreement that intelligence matters should not be politicized," it added. The Post story of a week ago said that the CIA has been hiding and interrogating some of its most important al-Qaida captives at a Soviet-era compound in Eastern Europe, as part of a covert prison system set up by the agency four years ago that at various times has included sites in eight countries. The eight, said the story, include several democracies in eastern Europe.

Or , (forgive me, oh great one) spag sauce? Speaking of that, I see from other messages today that the Church of the FSM has updated their website, LOL ! Also, one of the news articles I saw in a print paper this AM quoted some HS seniors who attended the Kansas meetings for a class project - they were glad they were seniors and wouldn't have to take the new courses !

A nice shot across the bow by Chomsky: <<< ... In the interest of fairness, perhaps the president’s speechwriters should take him seriously when they have him say that schools should be open-minded and teach all points of view. So far, however, the curriculum has not encompassed one obvious point of view: Malignant Design. Unlike Intelligent Design, for which the evidence is zero, malignant design has tons of empirical evidence, much more than Darwinian evolution, by some criteria: the world’s cruelty ... >>> chomsky.info Tom
