That was unexpected. Hadn’t he just delivered Mary McCarthy to be burned at the stake? Isn’t he Dick’s boy? [...] […] Porter Goss just resigned as director of the CIA. That was unexpected.

[makes me wonder why all administration staff have to sign those security agreements.....] And I found this rightie comment about McCarthy: "This trail leads right to the Democrats!" [hmmm, wasn't the AIPAC leaker a Republican?] Ok, I suppose Rove has started feeding the piranha some tidbits, test driving some stuff that might get those fatigued-with-Bush-and-other-unethical-Repugs to turn out next fall. Recall that the latest polls show Americans now trust Democrats more than Republicans to provide national security. How 'opportune', then, to find [or create] 'a treasonous Dem' for the feeding of piranha babies, especially when leaker-in-chief can keep secret whether there actually are torture gulags. If those gulags exist, that would make McCarthy a whistleblowing heroine to decent folks of both parties. Those on the rightie blogs seem to want to believe that there really are no Buh-sponsored torture gulags and that, chortle, chortle, McCarthy 'took the bait' in a sting operation. But, wait a sec, if it was a sting, and if McCarthy believed 'the bait' was true [ and also realized that 'going through channels' led to Cheney and Bush], wouldn't she still have been following the brave resolve of a whistleblower risking all in the patriotic knowledge that torture gulags are ILLEGAL and UNAMERICAN? All Right, Not All Right

Porter is a puke. The Neocons, the Repugs, the Conservatives and every other assorted idiot out there are drooling all over themselves thinking that they are defending freedom when they bring down a true American patriot...They delude themselves in thinking that our freedoms have been won by our military, when in fact thay have been won by an army of courageous Americans who have stood up against tryanny, injustice, and inequality. People like Susan B.Anthony, Lenny Bruce, Martin Luther King, the walking man and countless others of unsung Americans who paid the price for our freedom. A truth that some can't grasp is that America experienced a greater victory in freedom at a Woolworths lunch counter than it did on the sands of Iwo Jima.
