FBI investigates suspected Pentagon security breaches

By Guy Dinmore in Washington

An FBI investigation into suspected security breaches involving Pentagon officials and Israel is unlikely to result in prosecution of senior figures following pressure from the White House, according to people familiar with the case.

The investigation has highlighted concerns that a small group of neo-conservatives in the Pentagon not only may have divulged classified information to Israel, but also tried to mount intelligence and foreign policy operations without informing the State Department and Central Intelligence Agency

The White House denied allegations of a cover-up. A spokesman said there was full support for the investigation.

Sources familiar with the investigation said the White House and John Ashcroft, the US attorney-general, had intervened to apply the brakes. “The White House is leaning on the FBI. Some people in the FBI are very upset, they think Ashcroft is playing politics with this,” a former intelligence official said.

The Government of George W. Bush is now subverting the role of constitutionally established institutions to provide cover for his Likudnik allies in the Defense Department ....

And ASSKKKroft is playing the gate keeper now ....

This is an awful subversion of the President's duties ....

It's been what the Bushies have been doing since the 2000 Election. It's their PLAN, their modus operandi.

"retirements" of key intelligence, military and law enforcement folks.
They were replaced by neo-conservative vetted people.
Remember?

It's the only way the Bushist criminals and traitors will be caught and punished!

That is a leading reason they conduct a campaign of such foul desperation as they do: these treasonous snakes know that, once put out of office in an election, they are certain to be put in jail by an honest administration....

"If I owned Hell and Texas, I'd rent out Texas and live in Hell."

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

to the WH applying the brakes within about a week.

Is it too complex for them to worry about public pressure? This passage makes it smell even more like Watergate!

Analysts said that although the neo-conservative proponents of regime change in Iraq and Iran had fallen out of favour with the White House, the presidential election in November still afforded them protection.

Will anybody say anything? Are there any patriots left? Our leaders are worthless.

Noooo, only democrats play politics. This isn't play. This isn't partisan. This is REPUBLICAN OBSTRUCTION of JUSTICE. REPUBLICAN CORRUPTION. Imagine what they're going to be like after the election.



:argh:

Bob Dobbs! They don't even know what they're doing! They're investigating and betraying THEMSELVES! It's a gigantic intelligence Circle Jerk.

Morons. Dangerous Morons.
