"secret plan by President George W. Bush..."


Another one of those Bush secrets, I see.

[FLOutdoorsman]

I wonder how long it takes for the CIA to screw this up.

[RinaseaofDs]

Nothing like reading secrets in some Brit rag.

A$$ Clowns.

[sageb1]

yep

[puppypusher]

Now how the hell would the London Telegraph know what the CIA has been told to do by the President of the United States.If Information Security(Operational Security) is that loose someone should be canned.

[sgtbono2002]

Well as usual its not a secret any more. I wonder which senator let this one out of the bag. Anybody betting on Leahy?

[G Larry]

I'm not sure which agency needs an enema more urgently, CIA or the State Dept.?

[Prost1]

The news was leaked by a Saudi malcontent.

[BuffaloJack]

I certainly hope that they consult with Bill Clinton on the best defination of lethal.
He was quite good when it came to the defination of what constitutes having sex.

[rbg81]

Non-lethal? I wonder if that includes anything that will upset someone--like harsh language? The NYT will want to know!

[expatpat]

Central Intelligence Agency has been authorised to take covert action against Hizbollah as part of a secret plan

Senators and congressmen have been briefed on the classified "non-lethal presidential finding"

Obviously, anything briefed on our great Legislature in DC is not a secret plan. It may be classified, but what does that mean to Leaky leahy and his buddies?

[glorgau]

Senators and congressmen have been briefed...

Gosh, I wonder where this leaked from?

[Barte45]

They really shouldn't use the word secret when reporting on this to the public

[Flavius]

has anyone posted secret plans by the terrorists

no?

[navyguy]

If the US wants to decrease Iranian influence they should be looking at Tehran, in addition to Lebanon. We should be waging a full scale cyber war against every major computer system in Iran.

[BluH2o]

Details of its existence, known only to a small circle of White House officials, intelligence officials and members of Congress, have been passed to The Daily Telegraph.

I'm betting the leak originated members of Congress first; and intelligence officials second.

[pgkdan]

If Information Security(Operational Security) is that loose someone should be canned. Canned? How about shot? Can't the CIA keep ANYTHING secret anymore?

[Brilliant]

Since everyone knows that Congress is in the pocket of the Israel lobby, any Cynthia MacKinnon is no longer in Congress, I'm guessing it was the new Muslim Congressman.

I wonder how long it takes for the CIA to screw this up.

From insider reports, it was the State Department (that is, Dr. Rice) who screwed up Israel's taking out Hizbulla during the last go-round.

Maybe they will get it right this time, and eliminate Hizbulla.
