LAYIN' LOW
Keeping you updated with the latest Mary Loose Lips news'n'views from the blogosphere.
8 AJ Strata notices what I’ve noticed since the Mary Loose Lips story broke. McCarthy Lays Low: For someone innocent of the allegations and a whistleblower on serious crimes by our government, McCarthy’s silence speaks loudly. A true, innocent whistleblower would be out there day in and day out pleading her case.
8 Spook86 has a contact on the Hill who reports that former CIA employees may be fomenting a revolt: There are clear prohibitions on certain types of political activity by federal employees, and the reported actions of these former officers would appear to fall under that category. I think it's time to start firing some contractors and cancelling consultant deals. These former spooks were hired to do intelligence work--not instigate a palace revolt.
8 About that intelligence bill passed Wednesday: [T]he bill would allow the agency to persue those ops even if they retired, with prosecution and revocation of pensions and benefits. Which is why the agency issued a warning to those ex ops who just can't resist talking to the WAPO, Times, and other rags.
8 When you get right down to it, it’s real simple, according to MacRanger: This "war" against this administration from the beginning has been all about regaining power and keeping illicit avenues of money flowing to the pockets of both corrupt politicians, as well as some both active and former ops (see here). Which is why I told you back here that's the reason that to them Bush has to go because he killed the Golden Goose.
