"We need more human intelligence. That means we need more protection for the methods we use to gather intelligence and more protection for our sources, particularly our human sources, people that are risking their lives for their country.
"Even though I'm a tranquil guy now at this stage of my life, I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious, of traitors."
- George H.W. Bush, the Dedication Ceremony for the George Bush Center for Intelligence, 26 April 1999
"Poppy" must be mighty proud of his boy.
Boy George is apparently responsible for authorizing the leak that outed a CIA agent. Which would, in his father's eyes, if not the GOP-owned Congress and Supreme Court, make him a traitor. And why risk treason? To merely discredit an administration opponent.
Meanwhile, Bush is also planning on using the only toy he hasn't played with...namely "nookular" weapons. Where would he unleash the apocalyse? Why, Iran, of course.
Speaking of military matters, Seymour Hersh speaks of discontent in the ranks, while outsiders report a large losses in the officers' ranks as many have decided they do not approve of administration policies nor are endeared to the concept of ever-lasting war.
As for Bush's plan to cram democracy down the throats of everyone in the Middle East? Not exactly going to plan.
