The Justice Dept is being dragged over the coals for this screwup, and nobody wants to give big turtle the credit for covering it? Yeah, he has a point of view many of you don't like...that's your problem.
I'd like to see a whole lot fewer hare-brained projects like this from our government at all levels. But let's just pretend they don't happen (unless a Republican comes up with them). That's a really good plan.
If it had been a liberal linking to leftist blog after leftist blog about corrupt Repubs then it would have been just fine to talk about around here.
Welcome to Liberal BUBBLE WORLD, boys and girls!!!

Sorta like O'Bumble beating his chest and telling the world that when we got Bin Laden, we had a safe house right by OBL's compound where we had observed him for several months. So the Pakistanis went to that safe house and grabbed the owner and 4 others who had helped the US and "questioned them", and you can just bet it's not by squirting Perrier up their noses. Then comes the NYT to tell the Pakistanis that there were more than 5 folks who aided the US in operation Geronimo, so nanananana

The agent, Vince Cefalu, who has spoken out about the ATF's so-called "Project Gunrunner" scandal, says he was served with termination papers just last week, and he calls the move politically motivated.

Gee help me out here. I start a thread about Gunnrunner and you want to ask questions on wikileaks? Obama ran on having the most transparent presidency in the history of this country, how would you rate him on that? Wiki leaks is different in this regard, Bush did not run on transparency but more importantly. American lives were in jeopardy by wikileaks.American lives are not in jeopardy by the release of Gunrunner. I voted for Bush hoping he was who he said he was. He was not. Obama is not who he says he is, just wondering how long it will take you to figure that out. So let me ask you a direct question, what will it take for you to stop drinking the Kool Aid?

You made multiple posts about a guy getting fired ... someone who was fired ostensibly for leaking information ... information that was nonetheless in the public interest to reveal ... I was just curious about your thoughts on wikileaks given the dynamic.
As for the rest, you're one of the biggest partisan hacks who posts around these parts, so I'm not really sure your drinking the Obama Kool Aid comment deserves much of a response. My posts on this thread alone (despite my focus on your extreme rhetoric) make clear that I think everyone responsible should be fired for the stupidity of this plan.
