Time Mag Blows Location of CHEENEE's Undisclosed Location (Ho Hum)
Edited on Sun Jun-13-04 02:26 PM by UTUSN
While it's nice to see a Monday-morning piece (better than nothing), it would be nicer to see our "journalists" abandon their Shrub-worship and RAYGUN-canonizing and Poppy-parachuting to put some clues about Shrub together NOW.

...the undisclosed location known as Site R, an underground bunker on the Maryland-Pennsylvania border where the Vice President spent much of his time in 2001. Deep under Raven Rock Mountain, Site R "is a secret world of five buildings, each three stories tall, computer filled caverns and a subterranean water reservoir." It is just 7 miles from Camp David. ....

Led by Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, they were installed at various national-security choke points in the government, and nothing moved without their O.K. Bamford comes very close to stating that the hard-liners were wittingly or unwittingly acting as agents of Israel's hard-line Likud Party, which believed Israel should operate with impunity in the region and dictate terms to its neighbors. ....

Douglas Feith, a senior Pentagon official, set up several secret offices in the Pentagon that received data from Israel's own intelligence teams and coordinated its findings with them, partly as a way to get around CIA caution in the region. ....

"Off on the sidelines, George Tenet was one of the few who knew the truth," he writes, adding that Tenet preferred to work behind the scenes on minor disagreements about the data "instead of speaking out" against the grand scheme. That's a harsh indictment of the man who kept America's secrets under two Presidents. But one of Tenet's colleagues was even less generous, saying simply, "We caved."

2. Hmmm. All of the leaks originating from the CIA, as well as the formal...
...request by the CIA to investigate the exposure of Valerie Plame tells me that the CIA/George Tenet did quite the opposite from "cave".

6. Odd, Ain't It? The Perpetrators Are Teflon, the Stooges Weren't Tough Eno
Let's see if I get this article: The warmongers were agressive, and their goals turned out to be shite, yet the blame here is being put on the stooges who supposedly WERE NOT TOUGH ENOUGH in RESISTING the aggresstion of the perpetrators? Whaaaaa????
