Will ONE Bushie accusing Clarke of lying file libel charges against him?

[blm]

The Bush administration had Clarke's book for THREE months pouring over every detail to try and stop it. They had not one legal leg to stand on. Every Bush administration lackey who says Clarke is not being honest KNOWS they are not telling the truth.

Bottom line: Will ONE Bush official who accuses Clarke of lying file a legal suit against him? Tell them all to PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

Ever notice those Republicans who accused David Brock of lying in his book never filed a libel suit against him?

Ever notice those Republicans who accused Joe Conason of lying in his book never filed a libel suit against him?

Bottom line: PUT UP OR SHUT UP!

1. Excellent analysis, blm!

You should email your questions to every media whore!

[blm]

4. Dang, I miss MWO.

This is exactly the type of question they would ask of journalists.

5. Are they gone forever?

It is a dark day for the cause of Liberty if they are.

2. Sound and Fury

They don't seem to be accusing him of lying, rather they are resorting to character assassination as a way of diverting attention from the truth he is telling.

This is SOP for the Bush Cabal...much sound and fury, smoke and mirrors, signifying nothing.

3. I heard Card say that what Clarke said was nothing like reality

which is the equivalent of saying he's lying.

I agree with the sound and fury, though. Those who won't say he's lying outright use the bluster and faux outrage as a technique to divert from the issue.

6. good point

if Clarke is lying, why can't they sue?

7. No, because Bush is a public figure

It's extremely hard to prove libel of a public figure.
