Question on posting link to FAUX NEWS transcript....
Is it acceptable? I despise Faux news as much as anyone, but Bob Graham had a field day with Brent Hume and Mara Liasson this morning. Is linking to Faux appropriate for a verbatim transcript?

I think some of his quotes were very newsworthy...

2. here allow me to assist you
GRAHAM: My colleague, the vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Dick Shelby, Republican of Alabama, has estimated that 95 percent of those 28 pages should be released to the public; that the reason why they have been withheld has more to do with politics, international and domestic, than it has to do with national security.

HUME: Well, Senator, you are familiar with what's in those 28 pages. Normally the reason for classifying information is to protect, in the case of intelligence, sources and methods of information from disclosure. Is that the case here?

GRAHAM: No, this is being done in order to protect relationships with foreign governments, particularly a foreign government, and to disguise and keep from the American people ineptitude and incompetence which was a contributing factor toward September the 11th.

HUME: Ineptitude and incompetence on behalf -- on the part of whom?

GRAHAM: Intelligence agencies and individuals responsible for the administration of those agencies. The interesting thing is that...

HUME: Well, just let me stop you for a second. Are you saying, then, Senator, that in these 28 pages there is no information that, if disclosed, would tend to give away any sources or methods?

GRAHAM: There might be, but it would be a sentence or a paragraph, not 28 pages.

3. Thank you, dahlin'....
I never post from Newsmax and am reluctant to give Faux any credit, but it was a good interview...
