Reply #43: The beginning of the end for the neocons was 3/30/03 - the day CIA

Director George Tenet referred the outing of Valerie Plame to the Justice Department. That was followed by the Pentagon leak in April 2004 of the Abu Ghraib photos. In May 2005, the FBI arrested Larry Franklin and two AIPAC lobbyists in the OSP-AIPAC espionage case.

This is all part of the same counter-offensive by career intel and military officers against the neocons and their insidious hold over the White House and DoD that led to the disasters in counter-terrorism, Iraq, and the growing crisis in the Middle East.

This game is being played for keeps, and is rarely reported for what it is, but it isn't new.
