I heard a congressman tell this story on the floor of the House yesterday during the debate. I can only assume it was true.

I do not believe that to be a safe assumption.

Here, BTW, is a brief account of military-press relations, including a large section on World War II:

The behavior of the press today has more in *common* with the WW II press than it has differences.

You are free believing whatever you wish, but it doesn't seem likely a Congressman would enter into the record a fabricated, false story, knowing full well if it was false he'd be called on it and have a whole lot of explaining to do (along with his credibility being forever lost).

Oh, you mean like our illustrious President?

What the heck are you talking about? I gave you undenaible, irrefutable proof. You really need to start reading more, Barney. Read first, then talk. Get back to me when you've read the whole thing. Should take you all of five minutes.

Yep. Sure does.

Barn;
No, your posts are far too long. Say what you have to say in a few sentences and be done. No one (except the author) reads long posts.

So you will keep that in mind, for the rest of our sake, the next time you are on a religious tangent???

Not necessarily in that order.

Illustration of a question based on a false premise:

"you're okay with the President running covert ops against our Allies?

Even when he could have gotten the information legally?"

"Oh, you mean like our illustrious President? "

His choice to pretend your on-point snipe at Bush the Lame was not sarcasm was all the permission he needed to avoid your challenge. When the waters get choppy... the swiftboaters turn astern.

Excuse me, but I am most capable of answering for myself (which I already did). When I need assistance answering a question, I'll ask.

Then, we'll just call you "cut and run Barney" from now on....
