Bush Advisor Karen Hughes Tells CIA Leaker To Come Forward
"Hughes: Out Plame Leaker

Speaking of Hughes, in her acclaimed book "Ten Minutes from Normal," the former White House counselor opines about the investigation into the leak on Valerie Plame . She suspects columnist Robert D. Novak 's sources may have been in one of the agencies, not the White House.

"But regardless of the source, the leak compromised the confidential identity of a longtime public servant, which was wrong, and unfair to her and those who worked with her. Whoever did it should come forward and not hide behind journalistic ethics for his or her self-protection."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/21/AR2005072102567_pf.html

Huffington Post points this tidbit out.

1. Hmmmm.....
Whoever did it should come forward and not hide behind journalistic ethics for his or her self-protection."

Is she blaming it on a member of the press? Why would anybody other than a journalist hide behind "journalistic ethics"?

20. Public Diplomacy is the new name for 'Propaganda'
Still can't quite figure out why we NEED an 'Undersecretary of State for Propaganda, but I guess when you tell as many lies as the Bush administration, it takes a full time person just to keep track of them.

12. Karen Hughes has no validation of anything. No one has ever voted for her.
She serves at the pleasure of his* highness. A lapdog.

16. It was "wrong" and "unfair" says Karen Hughes, yawning in boredom.
I have never read a more lame, noncommittal condemnation of an act of betrayal against the national security of the citizens of the United States.

Anyone got a quote from Ms. Hughes on the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal? I bet she was foaming at the mouth over that little brouhaha.

21. "Novak's sources may have been in one of the agencies, not the W.H."
I'm sure we're going to be hearing this more and more. The White House is going to try to pin this all on Colin Powell and the State Department. I smell PNAC rats.

Edited on Fri Jul-22-05 02:37 PM by mitchtv
for going to the world at the UN and burned his credibility. He deserves to be brought down with the rest of the pack. Karma is a bitch.
