Audacity of Truth
Flyswatter in Chief:
"He had this fly that was persistently buzzing around him during the interview...he swatted his hand and he said ‘I got the sucker’...it was a, you know, Dirty Harry ‘make my day’ moment."- The NYT's John Harwood, describing Obama's killing of a fly - 6/16/09
CIA officer fired over “secret CIA prisons in Europe” leak
Excellent. Via NBC:
WASHINGTON – In a rare occurrence, the CIA fired an officer who acknowledged giving classified information to a reporter, NBC News learned Friday.
The officer flunked a polygraph exam before being fired on Thursday and is now under investigation by the Justice Department, NBC has learned.
Intelligence sources tell NBC News the accused officer, Mary McCarthy, worked in the CIA’s inspector general’s office and had worked for the National Security Council under the Clinton and and George W. Bush administrations.
The leak pertained to stories on the CIA’s rumored secret prisons in Eastern Europe, sources told NBC. The information was allegedly provided to Dana Priest of the Washington Post, who wrote about CIA prisons in November and was awarded a Pulitzer Prize on Monday for her reporting.
Sources said the CIA believes McCarthy had more than a dozen unauthorized contacts with Priest. Information about subjects other than the prisons may have been leaked as well.
Flopping Aces has tons of lins on this, including speculation of a possible McCarthy/Joe Wilson connection. Make sure to read the whole thing.

I didn’t say you copy and pasted anything about 9/11 conspiracy theories. You copy and pasted something long and specific and I linked it in previous posts. It was YOU acting like you were a legal expert going on with a list of articles of impeachment stuff that Bush should be impeached for. The stuff is loony and you don’t have a handle on any of the law that you copy and pasted ABOUT. You copyied it from the same guy who posted stuff about 9/11 conspiracy theories about blowing up the WTC. I’m sorry you did. You just did. You were on that site posting 100’s of times with similar comments as this site. Funny that that specific post that you pasted is only found on 2 places on the net.
solitaire asked, “does that mean I agree with everything on the site?”
No. I didn’t say that. But to copy and paste from a guy named RemoveBush who had the loony stuff on the SAME thread shows the depths you go to.
I never referred to rules. I referred to your character and common sense. Both are lacking. I rarely describe ANYONE that way.
- I wasn’t really questioning Steves sanity solitaire, not that it hasn’t been from time to time, but the fact, like so many other “lefties”, he tends to wander off topic regularly. And I did get the connitation. We’re all blindly wasting time paying attention to treason by one of our highest CIA officials, when we should really be after the eeeevvvvilll McChimpyBusHitler and his Zionist neocons. Or something to that effect. In other words its much more proficious in his eyes, to chase “bogeymen” than deal with a real criminal in our system. Right. Got it. Check. Next.

Mary, Mary, quite idiotary…
See how your leaks grow and grow…
With tin-foil hats, howling moonbats…
because of that evil Karl Rove…

The real criminals are those that allow and make war. And if you do not believe that Rove married the neo-cons, the Zionists and the armageddonists(Christian conservatives) to elect bush and then support the illegal invasion of Iraq, you haven’t been paying attention. Without the ex-Trotskyites and Scoop Jackson warmongers, known as the neo-cons, the American Zionists like Kristol,Wolfowitz,Delay and Cheney(to name a few)and the Armageddonists led by Falwell,Robertson and Dobson, there would never have been a war in Iraq. 19 Sunni Muslims, most from Saudi Arabian crashed into the WTC and bush Pre=emptively invades Iraq and lets bin laden continue to make audio tapes as the price of gas goes to $4.00 a gallon. Good job bushie. Peace
The Neocon crowd, insufferably proud….
with they’re morals and scriptures be damn…
We’re elitist and brave, no laws to behave…
We prefer dear Jihadist Islam….
They’ll call you the names, a traitor profane…
To us you’re our hero, dear Mary….
To us theres no shame, we’ll hail to your name….
and follow our leader, John Wilkes Kerry….

Nice poetry, Bang. But if you can work in something about Bush=Hitler and made it rhyme with “copulation”, you might get invited to present it at President Feingold’s inauguration in 2009. Fame and fortune (not to mention lotsa loot) can be yours!
The Far Left tends to be big boosters of poetry – especially poems that make liberal use of the four-letter words commonly found on public toilet walls. It shows their cultural superiority. Keep this in mind while composing.
If Russ fails to win – well, keep your day job just in case.
Mwa – being from the Great state of Kalifornicate, Feingold may not even make it back to Congress the next time she has to run. A Lot of Leftloons are unhappy with her for a variety of reasons, but mostly because she doesn’t lie enough.

Oh jeez. Another philosopher. Well Solitaire, if Plato, Socrates or Philosophy 101 has brought you and steve to where you are today, I’ll definitely steer my daughter away from those areas. It’s certainly made a buffoon of steve. My glee was a direct result of finding steve’s nonsense get the same treatment here as other sites he sullies. If that offends you, toughen up, cupcake. He’s a fraud and I don’t think his ma wants him spending so much time on her computer.
BTW–What does the (FN) or (FS) that follows steve’s name mean? I’ve not seen those used before.
My character is not known by you, Bak. I’ve tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I got insults back. Although I sometimes found your posts interesting to read, I don’t want to have to read judgements on my “character” just because I have an opinion. In fact, I really don’t need the abuse I’ve gotten on this site when I try to say something… anything, actually. So, have a good time, guys, singing your tunes to each other… I’m changing stations permanently. Neither of us will miss the other.
Mwa… Make that “he”, not she….I sometimes do that when I’m writing about either of them…Feinstein or Feingold… *snort*

I wrote what I perceive based on your actions. There must be a reason for my perception ??? Insults, accusations, false allegations, etc come from you initially. Stop doing it and you won’t see responses to your initial salvo.
If your opinion is that someone conservatives are “evil” then you will get responses about the “facts” you used, false conclusions based on misinformation and speculation concerning someone’s supposed “thoughts”.
Perhaps TP.com is better suited for your liking because you have yes men there?
Good luck! I hope you can hear other sources of information like most of us here are experienced with doing and reason out with common sense a reasonable conclusion in the future.
