Reply #8: Speaking of "treading water and whistling dixie"

[berry]

Did you happen to catch a press conference by Porter Goss (R-FL)? The newest spin seems to be that oh, yes, there was some connection between Iraq and Niger--classified, and the Brits have some info. IOW, they've decided not to concede those 16 words after all. Hmmm.

Also, he went to great lengths to explain how leaks can be either intentional or unintentional. Lots too on how common leaks are.

The only good thing about this is that the press ARE asking better questions. I do wonder if one can assume that the 6 attempts by the leaker(s) to get other journalists to take the bait will not lead to any info because the journalists are probably RW types? I'd like to think they'd at least tell the FBI, but how can they even be interviewed--are their names known? I don't expect anyone at the WH to crack....

Goss ended by gushing about how honest and upfront Bush is being wrt the "investigation". HUH.
