NYT Intel Bombshell
I was going to title this post: "Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!" As I purchesed the NYT this morning prior to logging on and checking the front page online..Anyway, the Douglas Jehl piece that E&P referenced here, and we(well me actually) reported here is available online. *sigh*
There goes my coffee allowance for a day ;)
Moving right along, here is the NYT piece. The article is essentially a verbatim review of the information that E&P released yesterday. There is more detail, but the bullet points outlined by E&P are the major, relevant ones.
It'll be interesting to see if this issue is brought up on any of the Sunday 'news shows.' The tie-in to the Democrat's call for a closed session of the Senate makes for the obvious segue.
****************************************
Since I already 'spilled the beans' on the NYT's really big story, here's another from the Grey Lady concerning the White House's attempts to distance itself(themselves?) from the Plame outing case.
No spoiler here, just this bit near the end:
Remember, The Boondocks tonight.

He[President Bush] will be away from Washington for much of the rest of the month. After returning from a trip to South America, Mr. Bush will leave for a week in Asia and then will spend Thanksgiving at his ranch in Texas.The whole reduced gov't. spending issue has to viewed from the vantage point of: from what level? Hey, the National Debt. is only a touch over 8 TRILLION DOLLARS. Not to worry, I'm sure that George has a plan that'll not only cut taxes, but pass the debt onto generations yet unborn. And we know how precious the unborn are to the GOP...If that's not irony, then I don't kno...Okay, I forgot where I was going with that ;)
When he returns, allies of the White House said, he hopes to regain traction by moving smoothly ahead with Judge Alito's nomination, shifting the focus to the policies he intends to emphasize next year, including reduced government spending and an overhaul of the immigration and border control systems, and making a more effective case for why victory in Iraq is vital.
Remember, The Boondocks tonight.
