No surprise here
Capitol Hill Blue reports:
Everybody here who is shocked that a president would leak secret information to defend a policy, advance an agenda or simply gain political advantage please raise your hand.Had enough?
No one? We thought so.
The inner workings of the Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon administrations, perhaps the best-documented of the presidencies, show that it happened, if not exactly all the time, with enough frequency to demonstrate that official secrecy is often a sham.
The Bush administration has been so pious about invoking "national security" to shield its doings from Congress and the public that it's hard not to take some satisfaction from the president being revealed as the leaker in chief in the CIA-leak scandal.
