A SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT 

GOP Blames Clinton for Iraq Intel Lapse

MSNBC - Waiting for the heads to roll 

True, or an example of the abuses reliance on unattributed sources is subject to?: "Remember the Joe Wilson story, the one about how the White House had leaked the identity of his CIA-agent wife? The assumption in Washington is that it was a CIA source that gave that story the credibility it needed to wind up on the front page of The Washington Post. And now White House aides are parading before a federal grand jury. 'The administration people are scared to death of Tenet,' one very well-placed source told me. 'He's burned them once, and would do it again.'"

Perhaps this is true. Or perhaps it's a way to get alternative theories out there through innuendo. After all, why would someone in the CIA leak this and 'out' one of their own in order to protect the White House, especially given the premise that the White House is afraid of the CIA's focus on protecting its own interests?

Holding his feet to the fire 

MSNBC - Transcript for Feb. 8th: "Russert: Would you authorize the release of everything to settle this?
President Bush: Yes, absolutely.
We did so in 2000, by the way.
Russert: Were you favor of the war in Vietnam?"

So, the president tells a bold-faced lie and the proper interviewer response is: (a) ask him if he misspoke; (b) ask him why he would say something that is demonstrably false; or (c) switch to a new, albeit tangentially related topic. That's right, hard-hitting journalists, the correct answer is (c)!
