"Romney: ABC Story Puts Lives at Risk"

[GreenPartyVoter]

NEW YORK (AP) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney criticized ABC News on Wednesday for its report about CIA plans in Iran, saying it could potentially jeopardize national security and endanger lives.

ABC News rejected Romney's analysis, and said it had given the CIA a chance to make the case that its report put people at risk, but the agency didn't respond.

The network led its top-rated "World News" on Tuesday with Brian Ross' report saying that President Bush had directed the CIA to carry out secret operations against Iran both inside and outside that country. The network said the campaign was "non-lethal," and involved propaganda broadcasts, the planting of newspaper articles and the manipulation of Iran's currency and banking transactions.

Romney, during a campaign appearance in Tulsa, Okla., said he was shocked that ABC News would broadcast the report.

1. Sounds like he has his undergarments in a knot

[Richard Steele]

2. And was he equally "shocked" when a CIA agent's ID was deliberately revealed....

...devastating a world wide WMD-tracking operation the CIA
had been running for years?

Bite me, Mitt.

[Norquist Nemesis]

3. He might want to check with the WH on that

ABC didn't get "the story" from out of thin air.

[Ron Green]

4. He's trying to position himself

as the "need to know" kind of guy, a steady daddy-figure who keeps national security on the front burner.

Also: Bite me, Mitt.

6. This is very telling. The WH all but approved this 'leak'.

Rommney now looks the chump. He's obviously not the WH choice for next Republican candidate for president.

[zbdent]

7. Didn't hear him complaining about "The Path to 9/11"

back then, ABC was doing the work of the Reich ...

[kestrel91316]

8. Bush can declare a "national emergency" and have everybody at ABC

arrested and shot to set an example. May 9 Executive Order 51 lets him do it.

Caligula lives.

[mmonk]

9. Yeah. Warning that the administaration is engaged in acts of war

puts lives at risk when war doesn't. Is there some kind of School of Orwellian Speech these people go to or something?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

10. He wasn't shocked when Valerie Plame was outed?

[krispos42]

11. And yet he can't understand why Iran doesn't trust us!

I know that I can't figure it out...



Why isn't he shocked that the US government is trying to do something illegal?

Here's a clue, Romney... if the US government and it's members would stop doing illegal and immoral things, there wouldn't be any stories to report!
