The other day, I was reading the TRUTHOUT article by Jason Leopold, and noticed that Hadley volunteered to write an oped in an attempt to strengthen the Niger Uranium Hoax. It reminded me of Condi’s oped rah-rah about the Aluminum Tubes in 2003.
Looks like there’s another one of those Administration directed opeds today. It comes out at the same time as Paul R. Pillar’s scathing article about the C.I.A. during the lead-up to the war and the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on N.S.A, spying. So now we have Loose Lips Sink Spies by Porter Goss, director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
I guess it ought to say, "brought to you by the Karl Rove Spin to Win media machine, along with chilling tales of the thwarted L.A. Liberty Library Building attack"…
Good eye.
I can’t resist pointing out that one of the “Karl Rove Spin to Win media machine” cheerleaders, was up-&-at-us early this mornin’.

Can’t wait for David Brooks, Jonah Goldberg, Bill Kristol et al to neo-spin-in…
Where’s Michael Ledeen lately?
I didn’t want you to miss this Rebuttal to Goss’ OP-ed http://www.antiwar.com/edmonds/?%20articleid=8534
(On October 18, 2002, Department of Justice Public Affairs Director Barbara Comstock wrote a memo:
To prevent disclosure of certain classified and sensitive national security information, Attorney General Ashcroft today asserted the state secrets privilege in Sibel Edmonds v. Department of Justice. This assertion was made at the request of FBI Director Robert Mueller in papers filed today in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The Department of Justice also filed a motion to dismiss the case, because the litigation creates substantial risks of disclosing classified
and sensitive national security information that could cause serious damage to our country’s national security…)
Sibel is not missing a beat…
