Under the Radar - White House Discloses Nuclear Secrets

The White House deliberately distorted John Kerry's clumsy comment about Bush's stupidity earlier this week. Yet the liberal media amplified the administration's spin for two days, effectively "swift boating" Kerry - again.

The story that was barely mentioned was a website that was pulled down by intelligence authorities after the NY Times published a story, describing detailed instructions that would be helpful to anyone wanting to construct a nuclear bomb. Apparently, this website was authorized by the WH when republican legislators pushed for it, thinking that the general public could discover evidence for WMDs in Iraq, which intelligence personnel had been unable to. In short, the political agenda of congressional republicans trumped national security, and the WH was complicit in its authorization.

Can anyone tell me why this is not treason?

Well, Steve, some may call it treason--but more likely it's just a case of rank stupidity, criminal negligence, and gross incompetence. In other words, it's totally characteristic of the past perfomance of this administration. (Kerry who?)

It was interesting to watch the media spin develop. Although the night of the incident with Kerry, CNN showed how the whole thing fit together and why it was probable he was talking about Bush, by the next afternoon, this had been entirely dropped, and the whole story centered on the outrage of republicans, troops and even some democrats. This story buried the real story, and, I assume, sold various sponsor products better. Truth is not important in news anymore, it's the sensational that sells.
