You appear to not understand the "on background" concept. Reporters can't publish background. They will get burned forever if they burn the backgrounder with a direct attribution by name. Fox had to get cleared by the White House. They "own" the background "rights". It certainly helps the White House, but your position is simply an unsupported political smear that shows you don't know very much about what you talk about.

JohnGalt employs typical troll tactics.

Clarke came forward with serious allegations of conduct that amounts to, at best, incompetence, at worst, treason.

Within three days his accusations are completely bebunked by a variety of factual accounts...tapes, letters, etc.

JohnGalt decides that makes the Bush administration just like Clinton, nevermind that Clinton covered up malfeasance, whilst Bush fought a war.

Just a helpful hint, JohnGalt, if the guy is lying, he's not a whistleblower. Get it?

He is willing to share his ignorance on many matters.
