Bush Leaks a Lie to Keep the Truth from the American People

TOP FIVE HEADLINES

 

Okay, so let's get this straight.

 

Bush admits he selectively leaked classified information that wasn't

declassified until days after he and Cheney had Scooter Libby leak it

to Judith Miller, the pro-war megaphone for the New York Times

publication of Bush lies. Bush " authorizes " this leak at a time that

he is claiming that if he ever finds the leaker, he will basically

fire him, meaning himself. Then he continues a public and Department

of Justice vendetta against leakers, but not himself: the leaker-in-chief.

 

Okay, now Libby is sent out with the leak in order to debunk Joe

Wilson's accounting of the truth about the non-existent Iraq-Nigher

uranium deal. Libby actually makes language up that doesn't exist in

the document to further the lie that Wilson exposed. In short, Libby

selectively used classified information to try to smear the truth with

more lies.

 

Okay, it gets better (or actually, worse). When Bush is exposed

through Libby's revealing to Patrick Fitzgerald that Bush gave the

green light to leak a lie to cover up a lie and prevent more lies from

being exposed, Bush admits to leaking, but tells the American people

that it was to get the " truth out. "

 

Are you following this? (And we haven't even gotten into the actual

Valerie Plame outing to Novak yet. We are still in the sideshow.)

 

If this sounds like some farce, remember that thousands upon thousands

of Americans and Iraqis have died in this farce -- and the nation is

nearly bankrupt.

 

No nation can long endure when such bird brains, criminals, liars,

cheats, and incompetents are running the nation.

 

What is this man still doing in the White House? Please someone tell

us. This is beyond comprehension.

 

Okay, you know what the worst thing is; Bush doesn't even know what a

fatally flawed and dangerous fool he is. He thinks that denouncing

leaks while leaking, obstructing justice, lying in order to prevent

the truth from coming out, and starting a war based on lies is fine by

him.

 

Because he, de facto, admitted to all of the above on Monday in a

rambling explanation of why he had to leak, then lie about his

leaking, and then leak a lie to hide the truth. Meanwhile -- while all

this was transpiring over the past couple of years -- others were

being pursued by the federal prosecutor for leaking, when it all

started with Bush.

 

This is whacko, psychotic stuff.

 

The mainstream press keeps saying that Bush didn't technically break

the law. Oh come on, as Greg Palast has pointed out, at a minimum we

have a prima facie case of obstruction of justice. We also have the

RICO Act as a distinct possiblity here. Not to mention that he didn't

actually declassify the information he authorized leaking until days

later. There is a process for this sort of thing, you know.

 

The bottom line: He's a lunatic in the guise of an " everyman, " and it

would be hard to think of a person who could have done this nation

more harm.

Okay, Bush Leaked Skewed Classified Information in Order to Lie to a

Reporter About a Man Who Was Telling the Truth About His Lying. No One

Else in the Government Seemed to Know That He Had Magically

Declassified the Information, Which Was Then Misrepresented. In Fact,

It Wasn't Even Legally Declassified Until 10 or So Days Later. Why is

This Man Still in Office?

Hundreds of thousands of people demanding U.S. citizenship for illegal

immigrants took to the streets in dozens of cities from New York to

San Diego on Monday in some of the most widespread demonstrations

since the mass protests began around the country last month.

FEATURED BUZZFLASH PREMIUM

 

American Theocracy: The Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil,

and Borrowed Money in the 21st Century (Hardcover)

by Kevin Phillips

(Excerpt)

 

Boy do we love Kevin Phillips. What more can you say about a guy who

devised Nixon's Southern strategy and then evolved into perhaps the

most astute, historically contextual critic of the Bush Dynasty and

the current incarnation of the Republican Party. Add to that, Phillips

is a keen observer of how the amalgamation of wealth in America has

had a deleterious impact on democracy.

 

Plus, he is a great, frank interview, who minces no words about the

mediocrity, mendacity and venality of the Bush family.

 

Phillips, as one review of this just-released book notes, is not going

to receive an invitation to any Republican conventions. A couple of

years ago, he described himself as an independent to BuzzFlash, with

admiration for John McCain. So, he's no card-carrying Democrat at this

point. He yearns for a Republican Party before the oil barons and " end

times " religious fanatics took over.
