#1 Bet the leaks began from those in the Clinton Administration, too.

#2 The CIA's controversial "rendition" program to have terror suspects captured and questioned on foreign soil was launched under US president Bill Clinton, a former US counterterrorism agent told a German newspaper.

But it's an "issue" now because it's GWB doing it!

Clintoon is the past! (sound familiar?)

#3 anything Scheuer says should be taken with appropriate salt.

They don't. What matters to them is that it's happening NOW, on GWB's watch.

Somehow, the exact same program has more ominous and far-reaching ramifications when Republicans are in charge.

#6 If we had a rendition program under GWB, and nothing else, that wouldnt have troubled anyone but the eurucommies.

The use of borderline interrogation techniques in Gitmo, the extension of those techniques to Iraq, the occasional use of techniques that seem to have gone well beyond the borderline techniques = well one thing feeds the perception of another thing.

Thats what pisses me off - they took things so far that they messed up some things that didnt need to be messed up. (kinda like Hilary messed up healthcare reform by taking it too far, when the Cooper plan probably could have passed)

#7 riiiight. Bush could raise the net worth of every American 10% and the MSM would scream about how the poor got screwed,

What pisses me off is that traitors are no longer prosecuted. Al Gore and someone at the NYT should be in the slammer. Bush is letting this get out of control.
