They probably heard it from Judith Miller LOL
It seems Treason is the in word this year.
And prosecution for treason apparently isn’t.
Boy is that ever the truest statement made on FR!!!
Um... their “madness” is spreading.
They’ll soon be planting nukes in American cities, yet the Bush Administration (says ABC) has no objection to ABC reporting on efforts to overthrow their govt.
Does that make sense?
I’ve given up on making sense of this administration.
I would bet the response by the White House was something akin to “we can neither confirm nor deny” the story....for ABC that was approval to report. ABC should have known better and probably did, but for them....more troop deaths is more ratings, and that is all they want. They could care less about our forces, our country, or our way of life. ABC, CBS, NBC and all the others are rightly called the “enemedia” (a term I think originated at Lucianne.com).
The real show is at the WH with constant denials of any intent to bomb Iran. Meanwhile two carrier battle groups are conducing war exercises within the Persian Gulf.
BUMP
That's my thinking as well. This story coupled with the fleet to Iran's doorstep sends a message.

I think you have me confused with some one else. I was talking about the media sitting in their charis and pumping their fists in the air and cheering when American troops get killed.
Don’t read anything else into my statement. I said nothing about the security, American people, etc...
> According to ABC they asked the Government to give permission before this was all aired. Apparently the U.S. Government made no objection to the report. Go figure.
Please note ABC’s Clintonesque parsing of words. “The goverment made no objection” - well the standard answer to this type of inquiry - “We do not comment on intelligence matters” - is not an objection. See how ABC has twisted this to make it seem the government gave the OK.
Two points:
The “source” of this might well have been approved by the WH to leak this for whatever reason. Note they didn’t even object to the report. Ever hear of disinformation?
Even if this truly was an unauthorized leak, how many folks here REALLY believe Iran doesn’t think this stuff is already going on? Do you actually think they’re shocked or surprised? I’m certainly not.
If anyone took me as serious, they don’t belong on FreeRepublic! ;^)
The next question is, why won't the DOJ prosecute either the leaker or ABC?
I am sure they will get on it as soon as they finish proving that Karl Rove leaked Valarie Plame’s secret name to the press.
I debated quoting the specific part I was commenting on, but was too lazy. Next time I will ;)
Ditto {8^)
