“Secret” about what?
Those scumbag liberals have a chance to ask questions every day.

The reason the liberals distnguish this administration from rat administrations is because they don’t ask Democrat administrations the same kind of questions they ask Republicans. For example, I don’t recall them asking the obvious: “President Clinton, FBI experts say that your use of the ‘lip-biting’ technique to paralyze your rape victim, Juanita Broaddrick, is an indication that you are likely a serial rapist. How do you respond?”

Bush should fire the person in charge of secrets. They were all published on the front page of the N Y Times.

If they think the Bush Administration is the most secretive, wait until they see what Hillary does if she becomes President.

The Clintons do have the most effective ways of keeping people from ever speaking out.

Clinton used to diddle the reporter-ettes on the road. They’re just mad that President Bush doesn’t do the same.

He's gotta keep secrets. If he was more open, his base would realize they elected a "liberal" instead of a real "conservative".

This "moderate" and "compassionate" relabeling of RINO's has done more damage to our Constitution than we ever should have allowed.

Secretive, huh? Guess what? It’s war and lots of things NEED to be kept secret - as far as I’m concerned we haven’t been secretive ENOUGH about our plans, our activities and the more talk that goes on, the more at risk our soldiers and military personnel are from the enemy! I would like the congress to just STFU and the press to ask smart, logical questions at press conferences without liberal bias! Alright, now I’m past belief with that last statement...

I wonder if she had got the plans for D-Day (WWII) she would have given them to the NAZI’S. What a witch.

If this administration is so secretive as these useful idiots claim, then why is this administration garnering so much condemnation on specific items being reported constantly? I would think that “secrecy” would mean noone knows about what the administration has been doing.

"Hey I’m not a big fan of the CIA so nothing in that book would surprise me. But I’d still like to know why Porter Goss came and went in a mere 7 months."

I think that the President lost confidence in him. He wasn't purging the Agency of the liberal/Clintonista traitors fast enough. Now the CIA is run by the military.

Although the ex-congressman declined to comment, intelligence sources have told CNN that Goss' resignation on Friday was triggered by differences with National Intelligence Director John Negroponte over plans to move staff, including analysts from the CIA's counterterrorism center, to other intelligence agencies.

CNN

He had particularly poor relations with segments of the agency’s powerful clandestine service. In a bleak assessment, California Rep. Jane Harman, the Intelligence Committee’s top Democrat, recently said, “The CIA is in a free fall,” noting that employees with a combined 300 years of experience have left or been pushed out.

Among those Goss pushed out during his tenure were the deputy director of intelligence, the chief of the clandestine service, two deputy chiefs of the clandestine service, the chief of the directorate of intelligence, the director of the counterterrorism center and the comptroller, according to NBC News.

Goss has pressed for aggressive probes about leaked information.Just two weeks ago, Goss announced the firing of a top intelligence analyst in connection with a Pulitzer Prize-winning story about a network of CIA prisons in Eastern Europe. Such dismissals are highly unusual.

MSNBC

In other words, he was cleaning out the CIA and they didn't like it.

Coming from these people it’s a compliment.

“The four federal agents killed at Waco used to be whose bodyguard?”

Answer this one for me - I’m curious.

Reporters like to be spoon-fed the news. If they aren’t, they accuse “the Authorities” of being secretive.

They were probably denied the launch codes.

Today’s magic media word is “SECRETIVE.”

Yesterday’s magic media word was “GRAVITAS.”

Tomorrow’s magic media word will be “IMPEACHMENT.”

“Glenn Greenwald of Salon, call it “the most secretive in history.”

Eight months into the Bush presidency, the soil of the continental United States was stained with the most American blood spilled at one place since the Civil War. More Americans died on 911 than did at Pearl Harbor in 1941. Why do so many refuse to recognize or even acknowledge the enormity of the danger we now face? What’s it going to take to get their attention?

Well, I guess it could be true...if we consider State and the CIA to be not part of "this administration". Those two places leak like a sieve.

“The four federal agents killed at Waco used to be whose bodyguard?”

They were all former bodyguards of the Governor of Arkansas, William Jefferson Clinton. He gave a nice eulogy for them at the Treasury Dept, his speech should still be online at the Treas website, or searching on the four names together will dredge it up.
