The AP's being investigated by a grand jury for who they coordinated with in Congress over the leak.
[snip] blaa blaa blaa... REPUGS DID IT!

1. This is going to circle right back to a Republican leaking classified information, yet once again.
Putting the lives of intelligence assets in the field at risk is what Republicans do best.
The AP screwed themselves on this one, you wait and see.

3. That's what I'm thinking
Classified information that put an embedded agent at risk.
Shame on the Republican that did that. Trying to sink this administration went a wee bit too far this time. . .

7. I am starting to wonder when the Republicans in Congress will start screaming in unison
"We can't let that information out, it's a breach of National Security!" in hopes of burying it.
There is something really smelly here, and it smells just like Elephant Shit.
And Mr. Obama is letting them start to twist, oh so slowly, in the wind.

84. this whole three-pronged fusillade of bullshit against Obama
is nothing more than a coordinated GOP effort to get out in front of this true scandal (leaking classified info) with "scandals" of their own.
muddying the waters.
won't work this time.

53. More interesting is the role of the AP in this--if the leaker is a Republican, then
this is what happened--
Republican leaks a title 50 covert op to reporter.
Reporter calls to confirm.
CIA asks for holdoff.
AP publishes early.
Republicans blame Obama for leak.
Romney blames Obama for leak.
AP IS SILENT.
The AP is either in active collusion on a dirty trick, OR, they knew they got punked, and didn't out the source.

70. Between this and the story about the Repubs deliberately falsifying emails re: Benghazi
this is starting to look like some federal offenses may have occurred.
If this goes down the trajectory you've beautifully outlined in your thread, this will be some DEEP doo-doo for the Repubs. They will be in for some serious butt hurt. But a good chunk of GD (and we know who they are. They know too) will no doubt do all they can to ease their pain.

76. judith Miller forever destroyed my faith in "free press"
I used to feel they were there to protect us. Now (esp after talking to my own CIA contacts) I've learned that the press can be just as corrupt.
Judy Miller needed to be publicly condemned by her colleagues. Never happened.

When the totally legal and constitutional SWIFT program was revealed by the NYT the Proglodytes were complaining the US was keeping secrets:

Also, it's a real shame Skinner won't let conservatives on his site. If he did, these idiots would be better prepared. He's done them a disservice by allowing them to fill their heads with echo chamber nonsense.
I like to think of DU as a gated community where the gates are there to keep the inmates in. :rotf:
Skinner is just the warden. We know who owns the prison.

The DUmp scoops the MSM once again by making up the most absurd shit and then promptly believing it.
They should get a Peabody! After all, they've uncovered the Rove Indictment happening in 24 business hours and that Trig was actually somebody else's baby (I forget who). And then they harassed that poor woman who's son disappeared in the Gannon/Gosch Affair.
Not to mention their proving that 9/11 was an inside job by lighting a rabbit cage on fire!
Where is the professional recognition for the DUmmies? I mean, really, they do a better job of fabricating the news than the MSN does, by a long yard.

Good Lord,that thread should be the basis for a college course in self delusion and insanity.
