White House Tactic for C.I.A. Bid Holds Back Drone Memos

6. I don't buy this.

Mark Mazetti has a history of pandering to the Bush regime and the CIA.
In case anyone forgot, he kept the story of Bush's illegal spying on civilians under wraps for a whole year until the 2008 presidential election was over. And then more recently, the Judicial Watch obtained via FOIA an email from Mazetti to the CIA with a copy of an unpublished story from a colleague, who was doing a story about the CIA's intentional leaks of data.

Condensed version of the multiple emails:

Marie E. Harf (CIA): Any word?
Mazetti: Going to see a version before it gets filed. My sense is there is a very brief mention at bottom of column of a CIA ceremony, but that Boal also got high level access at the Pentagon.
Marie E. Harf (CIA): Ok thanks. Keep me posted. I really appreciate it.
Mazetti: This didn't come from me... and please delete after you read. See, nothing to worry about.

This man has no credibility in my eyes, and I am willing to bet that his "three Congressional staff members" are all wearing elephant badges last year.
