Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I'll tell you what, folks, if you doubt that these are treacherous times, uh, you need to awaken a former Clinton, national security agency official leaking top secret information for a bunch of reasons.
Of course, because she disagreed with subsequent policies of an elected president, but I also think that there's an ongoing effort here to uh cleanse the dirt in the Clinton administration to keep it secret, to keep the blame focused on George W. Bush and subsequent administrations after Clinton and to cover up the Clinton administration and competence.
We are truly dealing with a Democratic Party that is a culture of treason.
Greetings and welcome.
It's the Rush Limbaugh program of this is the EIB Network.
We're here at 800-282-2882, the email address rush at EIB net.com.
A culture of treason we are dealing with.
The CIA is infested.
If you think Mary McCarthy is this is the is the lone wolf over there, you have a lot to learn.
If you think that there are not a bunch of Mary McCarthy's at the State Department and over at the Pentagon, you have a lot to learn about what's going on.
The President of the United States decided, because of the new tone when he took office in 2001 not to clear out these uh Clinton holdovers, and he's paying the price for it now.
Uh, and I think is fully awakened to what he faces, the administration faces, and what the objective of the Democratic Party has been ever since he was inaugurated, and especially since the um uh the war in Iraq began.
Now, one thing to remember here about Mary McCarthy, ladies and gentlemen, by the way, welcome to those uh those of you on the Ditto Cam, we're up and running and will be for the whole program today.
And if you want to call, and there's a lot of stuff in the news, I don't want to make this whole show about Mary McCarthy.
I probably could, but I don't want to, uh uh, because so many other things out there, but the telephone number is 800-282-2882.
What did Mary McCarthy leak?
Mary McCarthy leaked news about secret prisons in Europe where we were holding captured Al-Qaeda terrorists.
The point of that is this has nothing to do with Iraq.
Everybody assumes the Democrats oppose the war with Iraq because we ought to be focusing on getting Al-Qaeda.
We ought to be focused on getting bin Laden.
Well, Mary McCarthy leaked to Dana Priest of the Washington Post, who won a pullitzer prize for this treason of Mary McCarthy's about secret prisons that, by the way, the New York Times ran a story last week that nobody has any proof exist, so there are people wondering if this was a sting operation inside the CIA to trap the leaker.
Don't know about that.
But the bottom line is that Mary McCarthy, who has worked with Joe Wilson, who has worked with Sandy Burglar, who was hired by Sandy Burglar in the Clinton administration to work in the National Security Agency.
These this is a den of thick thieves here, folks, and they're all over this administration, and they're all over this government, and they are wrecking havoc uh as often as they can.
They're leaking to the New York Times, they're leaking to the Washington Post, they're probably leaking the outfits like human rights watch, they're leaking to members of Congress, they're leaking to United States Senators.
There's no question this has been going on in my mind.
The question now is to see what happens with uh Mary McCarthy.
Will she be prosecuted?
Will she be uh uh prosecuted for breaking the law?
There's a there is a federal statute that deals precisely with what she did.
Uh no indication now of what's going to happen, although the president did say if he found anybody leaking in his administration, they would be subject to the full force of the law.
Now, that was about the Scooter Libby leak, the Valerie Plame leak, and by the way, there's a connection here.
Mary Mary McCarthy with Joe Wilson.
Mary McCarthy, Dana Priest's husband, Dana Priest, the writer of the Washington Post, and and Joe Wilson are all thick as thieves.
They work together.
They have worked together.
This is not some lone wolf whistleblower.
This is not somebody in Mary McCarthy who is practicing the time-honored art of dissent.
This is somebody behaving in a treasonous manner.
But the thing to keep in mind, her leak about these prisons had nothing to do with Iraq.
These prisons, if they exist at all, is where Al Qaeda terrorists were being held.
And this leak was designed to blow that whole program apart, make it impossible, and to put at risk.
Those European nations that were cooperating With us in the war on terror.
The Democrats profess to be with us on the war on terror.
They profess to be interested in getting bin Laden.
They profess to be interested in preventing another attack on our homeland.
And yet, this Clinton holdover, this Clinton worker, this Clinton National Security Agency employee, Mary McCarthy, attempted to destroy our ability to gather information from Al Qaeda prisoners.
Nothing to do with the Rock.
Mary McCarthy is the fourth Clinton National Security Council member to assault the Bush White House.
Mary McCarthy was one.
Joe Wilson is another, along with his wife Valerie Plane.
They cooked up this phony Niger uranium document scam, which now has Scooter Libby facing jail time.
It is as interesting as hell to me to listen to people like John Kerry and others, and we got the sound bites go on television and talk about how Libby lied and Bush leaked.
And there was no plan on the part of Iraq to try to get yellow cake from Niger.
All of that is lies.
It's all true.
The liar is Joe Wilson.
His wife Valerie Plame arranged for him to be sent to Niger to cook up this whole scam.
The thing that amazes me is that the independent counsel, Mr. Fitzgerald, has to know.
He cannot be this uninformed.
He cannot be this unaware of the facts of the case, and yet he's he champions Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame as though they are the most important people in the country, and protecting them is his most important job and putting people in jail who compromised her identity.
None of it on the surface computes with me.
We also had, in addition to Mary McCarthy and Joe Wilson and Val Plane, we had Richard Clark.
Richard Clark ran interference for the Clintonistas during the 9-11 Commission hearings, so that Clinton's criminal neglect of bin Laden was somehow overlooked.
And then we had Sandy Burglar himself.
Sandy Burglar, of course, stole into the National Archives, stole documents out of there, trying to protect the Clinton administration from being accurately portrayed and investigated during the 9-11 committee hearings.
So we have Mary McCarthy, we have Richard Clark, we have Sandy Burglar, and we have Joe Wilson.
She is the fourth Clinton National Security Council member to assault the Bush White House.
And then these are not just loyal Clintonistas.
Make no mistake about it, these people are auditioning for positions in a second Clinton administration, that of Hillary Clinton.
And if you add to the fact that, as I have pointed out in this program countless times, Bill Clinton himself travels abroad to routinely attack this White House and its foreign policy in front of foreign audiences, including audiences that are filled with radical Islamists, as in Dubai.
Al Gore and Madeline Albright do the same thing.
This is why I said during my translation of President Who's speech last week at the White House.
The Iranians are simply waiting and placing their bets on 2008 when the Democrats will collapse to rising Islamist power if they win back the White House.
They've already attempted to collapse the Bush administration in its effort to deal with rising Islamist power with Mary McCarthy's leak.
And let's not forget these generals.
Let's throw them in the loop here, folks.
This is the timing of this.
I know appears all to be coincidental.
We have the Clinton generals.
They were promoted by Bill and Hillary to make the military politically correct.
These were generals who agreed with the concept of making the U.S. military a social experimentation playground.
They were in the news just last week, applauded by the media for their courage and their integrity.
The media today, as much a part of the problem as anybody else, because they don't see anything wrong with what Mary McCarthy did.
No, she's a whistleblower.
She's a hero.
She's practicing dissent.
It doesn't matter if she's telling the truth when she leaks, then it's okay.
And of course, the media is uh getting all over the Bush administration.
Well, they're trying to, now they're trying to make sure that these people can't interact with the press.
Well, I don't remember.
Bob Schiefer was making this point, I think yesterday on Slay the Nation or Friday night during his news, I forget which.
He's going on and on and on about how it's it's just it's unconscionable what this administration is trying to do.
They're trying to prevent government people from talking to reporters.
I don't recall Bob Schiefer being upset that uh he was talking or anybody was talking to Scooter Libby, they want to put Scooter Libby in jail for what he said to reporters, do they not?
And Scooter Libby didn't leak anything that nobody didn't know, and he didn't leak anything, period.
He didn't leak anybody's ID, he didn't leak anybody's covert status because she wasn't covert.
She wasn't even a CIA agent.
This is a parallel universe.
Everything's 180 degrees out of phase.
Gotta take a quick break.
We'll play connected dots when we come back.
Stay with us.
And we're back.
Welcome the Rush Limbaugh program from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
We're talking today, at least at the outset of the program about the Democratic Party as a culture of treason.
Mary McCarthy leaks the secret CIA prison story to Dana Priest of the Washington Post.
Some speculate this may have been a sting operation.
I don't know about that.
The only thing I know about this is the important thing to remember is that the Democrats are on record as wanting us out of a rock and thinking it's a big boondoggle, but they claim to be on board with the war on terror.
And her leaks had nothing to do with Iraq.
Her leak on these prisons, uh, if they exist, is where Al Qaeda terrorists captured the battlefield were being held.
Mary McCarthy and Joseph Wilson served at the National Security Council together at the same time, both had African portfolios.
Does Dana Priest's husband serve as Joe Wilson's agent, in effect, getting him speaking gigs?
And some are asking, was it Mary McCarthy who sent Joe Wilson to Niger?
Our friends at the Power Line blog point out that it's hard to keep up with all these revelations coming out about Dana Priest.
The Washington Post reporter who published the secret prison story, got a Pulitzer Prize for it, and Mary McCarthy, the Democratic Party activist, and now fired CIA bureaucrat who leaked the story to Dana Priest.
And yes, she was an activist.
She contributed uh $5,000 in soft money to the Democratic Party.
She contributed $2,000 to the Kerry campaign in 2004.
Dana Priest is married to William Goodfellow.
Now, William Goodfellow is the executive director of something called the Center for International Policy.
And if you go to the Center for International Policy's website, you'll find its mission statement, which reads promoting a foreign policy based on cooperation, demilitarization, and human rights.
Pure liberalism.
Pure leftism.
It appears that the idea that the Center for International Policy's idea of demilitarization and human rights is best exemplified by Cuba, if you read their website.
They love Cuba.
At Dana Priest's husband's website and organization.
But when you read their mission statement that they promote a foreign policy based on cooperation, demilitarization, and human rights.
You have to know that they are surrenderers and they are appeasers.
And they do not recognize enemies.
There are connections, interesting connections among the uh Center for International Policy.
They operate the Iraq policy information program.
Joe Wilson's part of it.
Dana Priest is part of it.
This is not just guilt by association.
Dana Priest herself participated in an anti-Iraq war program put on by her husband's group, the Center for International Policy, along with Joe Wilson and even other more unsavory characters.
And if you go to the right website, you'll find pictures of Dana Priest sitting next to Joe Wilson or close to him and others at seminars put on by Dana Priest's husband at the Center for International Policy.
And then we have Ms. McCarthy, the CIA leaker, who turns out to be a substantial contributor to the Democratic Party.
Andy McCarthy, National Review Online, no relation to Mary O. McCarthy, notes that the Washington Post has published a sympathetic portrait of McCarthy, who leaked remembered to the Post, resulting in a story for which the Post won a Pulitzer Prize.
The post story touts McCarthy as unbiased without ever mentioning she was a Kerry supporter who has given up 7,000 up to 7700 a year to the Democratic Party and its candidates.
Now, I'm not surprised that the Washington Post would gloss over the political bias of Mary McCarthy, their reporter won a Pulitzer Prize for reporting her leaks.
So what do we have?
We have a Democratic Party activist who, by the way, was working in the CIA's Inspector General's office.
Do you know what they do at the inspectors general's office at the CIA?
They investigate leaks.
They investigate impropriety on be hard on behalf on the part of CIA employees.
She was set in there to cover up for her own actions, to police her own actions and make sure she could get away with leaking.
I was all weekend long, as I've been boning up on this.
I couldn't help but wondering if some she's a plant in there, folks.
She's a plant in there, and we find we've got some patriots in the CIA are trying to ferret these people out.
God bless you and thank you, Porter Goss.
I'll tell you what, we've we've we've had I know Goss and these guys are under attack for for out.
They're too political, and this is unreal because she's doing the nation a great service.
She's a whistleblower and so forth.
She broke the law.
She's engaging in traitorous activity here.
She's undermining the policies of the United States, which she personally disagrees with.
She can personally disagree with them all day long, but it is not her responsibility, nor does she have the right to undermine U.S. policy in this manner.
She can resign and go on a speaking tour, she can do whatever she wants to do, but to subvert U.S. foreign policy in this manner is against the law.
It is not valorous.
It is not something that's worthy of fine great praise.
It is just the opposite.
The um American Spectator Day, the Prowler has uh has a good uh good piece on this.
It isn't just the CIA that has problems with former politicals getting knee deep into this administration's policy and leaking materials, says a current Bush administration aide.
We're talking about a situation we haven't been able to deal with in a manner in which we'd want, but this Mary McCarthy case may help us.
They're saying we know we've had problems here, we haven't been able to do much about it.
The uh presidential aide, referring to the firing last week, of course, of the uh agency's office of Inspector General worker that'd be Mary McCarthy.
One of her jobs was investigating allegations of torture by CIA employees or contractors at Iraqi prisons.
The CIA fired McCarthy on evidence that she was one of the sources for Washington Post reporter Dana Priest report on the so-called black site prisons in Europe and elsewhere that housed captured Al Qaeda, Taliban, and some senior Iraqi military and intelligence individuals.
Now, unresolved is this is whether Mary McCarthy also leaked materials to the left-wing organization human rights watch, which clearly was also a key source to Dana Priest.
Note this quote in Dana Priest's now Pulitzer Prize winning story.
Quote, I remember asking, what are we going to do with these people?
said a senior CIA officer.
I kept saying, Where's the help?
We got to bring in some help.
We can't be jailers.
Our job is to find Osama, unquote.
That's a quote from Dana Priest's story.
Is that Mary McCarthy?
McCarthy's background is just becoming increasingly fleshed out, including her ties to former National Security Advisor Sandy Burglar and the Clinton White House.
McCarthy was appointed special assistant to the president and senior director for intelligence programs by Burglar in 1998.
You know who she replaced?
Rand Beers, who went on to become the foreign policy advisor of the John Kerry campaign.
And according to former Kerry campaign staffers Rand Beers, spoke of having continued access to CIA and national security data from colleagues while still in government that were still in government while he was working for Carey.
Former staffer of Beers said he said he still had friends willing to help the Kerry campaign from inside.
We always assumed that guys like Beers and Burglar were in touch with these people.
I'm not talking about having secure material leaked to us, but our national security folks always seem to be in the know.
The former staffer said he never recalled mention of any names.
But all of this is now past tense, and the White House, as well as senior staff at the Department of Justice, State, and Defense are attempting to identify possible leakers Among their own career staffs with access to information that might be helpful to Democrats or the press.
One of the great concerns is the Department of Justice.
The nexus of many terrorism and national security cases that would involve the White House, uh, defense and State Departments, as well as briefings on Capitol Hill to congressional leadership.
Current Defense Department staffer says we know that we have people leaking materials.
It's been an ongoing problem, but until somebody's taken the first step, and the McCarthy case would appear to be the first step, it's hard to move against career staff.
We have an inspector general looking at all kinds of things right now.
Perhaps this will get some action.
We shall see.
Keep in mind the drive-by media is doing everything it can to suppress any action, to stop any action being taken against Mary McCarthy.
She will be the new Daniel Ellsberg and John Dean before this is over.
Back after this.
And we are back.
El Rush Ball with half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
All right, let's let's apply the uh uh the rules that uh the liberals currently use uh in dealing with, discussing, and hoping to investigate this Bush administration.
Under those rules.
Uh the we must investigate this on the basis of the seriousness of the charge.
This is a very serious charge against Mary McCarthy that she leaked damaging information that compromised an effort in the war on terror.
And we know that there are countless other leaks, the National Security Agency's uh foreign intelligence procurement program, that's been leaked.
And you know there's uh the the names of elected officials keep popping up in that one.
Uh that is being investigated as well, and we don't know where the leak came from.
Uh uh originally, we don't know if it's somebody at state, we don't know if it's somebody at CIA.
But I have told you people since uh the last three or four years that the CIA and the State Department are infested with career liberals and Clinton holdovers, and they are doing their best to undermine this administration, and they don't care how many American soldiers lose their lives, they don't care to whom we lose in the war on terror, the war with Iraq.
It's all about destroying George W. Bush and this administration as well, I think, as continuing to cover up the incompetence of the Clinton administration.
I think 9-11 has scared the hell out of these people, and there's lot to be learned about what was not done in the 1990s to deal with and respond to rising indications, alarming indications of terrorist attacks.
They were taking place in the 90s, the Clinton administration did diddly squat about it.
9-11 happens.
The Democrats immediately begin, after a couple of months, to uh establish circumstances where 9-11 is just a random event, haphazard, uh, we don't need to make policy based on 9-11 and so forth.
It's just it's so obvious they're trying to sweep the memory of 9-11 off everybody's uh front page and create a world that is actually a pre-9-11 world.
I have never doubted for a moment, folks, that the Clinton loyalists, and there are many of them, and I don't understand the loyalty they have to him other than liberals hang together like flocks of insects.
Uh but they they're I they're still doing everything they can to make sure this man has a positive legacy, and in order to do that, you got to keep the truth of what went on in terms of incompetence uh in his administration from coming out.
So we have a serious charge here.
And the serious charge is, well, you know, Bill Clinton's administration, Bill Clinton knew Sandy Burger, Bill Clinton uh picked the people for his National Security Council, Mary McCarthy's there, Richard Clark is there.
Could it be that Bill Clinton himself is behind the Mary McCarthy leak?
Could it be that Bill Clinton himself is behind getting her in the CIA?
Remember, she got in there before one of Bush's guys was running the place.
That was Porter Goss.
George Tennet is a holdover of the Clinton administration.
Is George or rather Bill Clinton behind Sandy Burglar's destruction of the top secret information that he pulled out of the National Archives during the 9-11 investigation, the committee investigation.
we must pursue this and assume it's true.
Bill Clinton knows where all the dead bodies are buried.
All the leaks between CIA insiders and the press could have been suggested and or coordinated by Clinton.
He knows the facts.
He knows the people.
I'm just pointing this out because this is the rule by which the Bush administration is pursued.
Bush knew everything.
Bush authorized Libby.
Bush authorized Cheney.
Bush authorized this.
Bush knows everything going on.
Everything the liberals are doing, trying to bring down the Bush administration is oriented toward going to the top.
It's Bush's fault this, it's Bush's fault that.
Bush lied.
Bush knew the intelligence was something other than what he said.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Well, here we have a Clinton administration holdover, and she's the fourth one.
We got Burglar who committed a criminal act.
We've got Richard Clark, we've got Joe Wilson, now we got Mary McCarthy.
How can Bill Clinton be left out of this equation under the rules that the Liberals are using to go after George W. Bush?
He knows the facts.
He knows the people.
We need to examine Bill Clinton's phone records.
Now I know there's no evidence to support this, yet that that's the point.
It's not the nature of the evidence.
It's the seriousness of the charge that matters here.
And when it comes to criminal activity, we can actually point to a bunch of it on the part of Clinton administration people.
All you've got's alleged criminal activity on the part of Scooter Libby, and that was a process crime.
There's simply too many leaks to be coincidental and random.
And we can't leave Bill Clinton out of the equation.
He routinely traveled the country during the election cycle of 2004.
He traveled the world speaking to Islamist audience and worldwide socialist audience, denouncing this administration, denouncing his policies.
The Bush administration policies in the war, both on terror and the war in Iraq.
You liberals ought to understand this line of reasoning.
Remember, it was the Clintons that managed to misappropriate all those classified FBI files.
There may be a pattern here, a culture of subversion, if you will, in addition to a culture of treason.
Now, by the way, folks, Mary McCarthy is an admitted lawbreaker.
The Duke Lacrosse players are not.
Yet who's going to get raked over the coals in the press and who has been?
Mary McCarthy has illegally released classified information.
She flunked a polygraph, polygraph, she'll be treated better and is being treated better than the presumed innocent Duke students.
Mary McCarthy will be treated better by the media than Scooter Libby.
A quick comparison of their behavior makes this hard to understand.
Mary McCarthy will be treated better than Carl Rove in the Joe I'm a Huge Liar Wilson case.
Mary McCarthy be treated better than George W. Bush in the Dan Rather forged documents case.
Mary McCarthy, like her former boss Sandy Burglar, was a high-level intelligence officer and a huge security risk.
She was a subversive force at the highest levels of the CIA, and yet the drive-by media already making her out to be a more respectable figure, more responsible, in fact, patriotic and heroic figure than the Duke Lacrosse players, Scooter Libby, Carl Rove, and George W. Bush.
If my theory holds true about liberal losers getting the red carpet treatment from their party, Mary McCarthy's about to get a huge book deal and all the free publicity she wants to promote it.
It's only a matter of time.
You have Mary McCarthy and Joe Wilson.
They're big Kerry supporters.
And I mentioned a moment ago they both had the African profile while they were working together at the National Security Council.
Mary McCarthy began her government service as an analyst, then manager in the CIA's Directorate of Intelligence, holding positions in both African and Latin American analysis.
Between 1984 and 1991.
U.S. Ambassador Joe Wilson, special assistant to the president, senior director for African Affairs at the National Security Council from July 1997 until July 1998.
Mary McCarthy's time at the National Security Council was 1991 to 2001.
So if I'm reading this right, they served on the National Security Council together with the same portfolio, Africa.
And she was the CIA's Africa analyst at the time old Joe was down there.
I'm telling you, folks, this is thick as thieves.
This is a din.
I don't know, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
There's there is in my mind no question about it.
Now, the Weekly Standard recently had a piece about all of this, and here's just an excerpt.
The CIA's war against the Bush administration is one of the great untold stories of the past three years.
It is perhaps the agency's most successful covert action of recent times.
The CIA has used its budget to fund criticism of the administration by former Democratic officeholders.
The agency allowed an employee, Michael Shire, to publish and promote a book containing classified information as long as in Shire's words, the book was being used to bash the president, quote unquote.
However, the agency's preferred weapon has been the leak.
In one leak after another, generally to the New York Times or the Washington Post, CIA officials have sought to undermine America's foreign policy.
Usually this is done by leaking reports or memos, critical of the administration's policies or skeptical of their prospects.
Through it all, our principal news outlets which share the agency's agenda and profit from its torrent of leaks have maintained a discreet silence about what should be a major scandal.
That's the Weekly Standard, a recent article.
Now the CIA doesn't have a lot to stand on in terms of competence itself.
It failed to see the downfall and the collapse of the Soviet Union.
It failed to see anything happening on 9-11.
It was not allowed and didn't try to compare it complete the dots, uh connect the dots on a number of things.
It does seem that their most successful covert operation of recent times has been their attack on the Bush administration, Mary McCarthy being the visible evidence of said attack.
Quick timeout back after this.
A couple other things here than an audio soundbite to get us started.
As I mentioned, Dana Priest, the uh Pulitzer Prize winning writer for the Washington Post, uh, to whom Mary McCarthy leaked information on the uh prisons, the uh the black prisons, a couple of European countries.
Dana Priest married to William Goodfellow, William Goodfellow, the executive director of the Center for International Policy.
Now, the Center for International Policy has, as a client, Fenton Communications.
Fenton one of the most sophisticated of the Fenton Communications anti-war projects is the commingling of win without war and the Center for International Policy.
Before 9-11, the Center for International Policy, which was a Fenton Communications client, mainly acted as Fidel Castro's greatest think tank ally.
Before 9-11, the Center for Ish International Policy acted as a as a domestic think tank promoting the great things coming out of Cuba.
Much of its million dollar budget was spent lobbying to end economic sanctions and travel restrictions against Cuba.
Now it has another mission.
Fenton Communications has established a war room with the Center for International Policy.
This war room is called the Iraq Policy Information Group, IPIP.
Its main job is getting the anti-Bush foreign policy message out to the media and providing guests for talk shows.
The featured speaker of the IPIP is Joe Wilson, one of the uh Bush administration's most vocal enemies.
So you could conclude here that the husband of Dana Priest, William Goodfellow, is involved in getting Joe Wilson paying speaking gigs, as well as getting his message out uh to the to the media.
Now we have a montage that we've put together of the press and Democrats in which they're calling Mary McCarthy a whistleblower.
If you've been watching the media on this uh since this story broke on Friday, uh have have you have you seen any footage of Mary McCarthy being chased by the press?
Uh have you seen any cameras following her around?
Uh is there a stakeout, a media stakeout at her house?
No, of course not.
Uh she's been given whistleblower status by the drive-by media.
She's not a leaker of the nation's secrets, according to them.
I wonder what would have happened, just an interesting hypothetical if Mary McCarthy had leaked Valerie Plane's name.
It's not it's not possible because they're all intertwined here.
These people are all on the same team.
This whole leaking of Plame's name story and Joe Wilson's Niger trip, I'm sure is part of a giant concocted scheme to uh bring down the Bush administration, particularly in the elections of 2004.
Uh but if she had leaked Valerie Plain's name, would there be cameras ten deep in front of her driveway, satellite trucks down the block?
Uh quite possibly so.
It's interesting to note that you can leak all you want if you're a liberal Democrat from the Clinton administration, and uh you are praised to the hilt.
But if you are scoob scooter libby and you're talking to reporters, and uh and so forth, why then you've got to go to jail.
And then Carl Rose's got to be right behind you, and hopefully Dick Cheney right behind him.
A clear double standard illustrating just who and what the drive-by media are and is.
Here is a montage here of uh of the press, the drive-by media, and the Democrats referring to Mary McCarthy as a whistleblower.
Again, if you're if you're a Republican and you leak, well, you're a leaker, you're a criminal.
If you're a Democrat, you're a whistleblower, a hero, a potential time magazine person of the year.
One person's leaker is another person's whistleblower.
This is somebody who knows all the rules.
That typically is the whistleblower motive.
An administration is not being honest.
Obviously, that's going to induce whistleblowing and leaking.
A whistleblower with no other way to stop what she saw as an agency run amok.
This is one way that whistleblowers uh act.
Focus on who's out uh whistleblowing and telling the truth.
Let's call them whistleblowers.
Whistleblowing in a situation like this necessarily entails the disclosure of classified information.
She's a whistleblower, some are saying Democrats have come out and said she didn't break any law because she was a whistleblower.
Forget about the fact that she probably broke a law here and probably ought to be prosecuted.
She's a whistleblower.
That's Steve Ducey, and don't misunderstand him.
He is being he's being cynical there about all the people talking about Mary McCarthy as a whistleblower.
What is Scooter Libby do?
Scooter Libby simply talked to a couple of reporters, said, you know what, you got this whole Joe Wilson story wrong, and he was simply trying to maintain and represent the administration's position on the story.
Uh he was subject to an investigation by an independent prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, over who leaked what?
The idea of a CI agent's name, her covert status.
When people knew her name, she wasn't an agent and she wasn't covert at the time.
Fitzgerald has said so himself.
None of that seems to matter.
So all this talk about whistleblowing and doing things because you see an agency run amok and you're trying to get the truth out there.
It only works one way with these people, folks.
It only works one way.
Quick timeout will be.
Oh, wait, you gotta hear Sam Donaldson.
He was on Stephanopolis yesterday during the roundtable discussion, and Stephanopoulos said, Sam, let me ask you, is this prosecution or is this termination of victory for national security or defeat for government accountability?
To the extent that the American people are learning about something that the American people don't think is America.
Don't think it's what we're trying to export around the world the way we live.
It is a victory for the American people.
I'm not running for nation.
Um here again, this is the war on terror.
This is black prisons where we're attempting to learn information from Al Qaeda.
I'm telling you, folks, I don't care who you listen to on the left, we have the drive-by media or politicians.
It's scary, it's frightening.
This is why they cannot be trusted with this nation's national security or defense.
They are doing everything they can to sabotage the defeat of this particular enemy.
Uh they are invested in the defeat of this country.
Make no mistake what that's what this is about.
They're not worried about America's image.
They're not worried about all these tortures in prison, they're not worried about this at all.
This is simply about getting their power back, and they'll destroy and kill whoever they have to, or get killed whoever they have to in order to do it.
And they will engage in treasonous activity and they'll circle the wagons and they'll call themselves great heroines, great heroes, great patriots, whistleblowers, and what have you.
This is uh uh patently obvious where the battle lines uh are drawn here, and and try as hard as they might to identify with most Americans on this.
Uh the Democrats and the uh drive-by media are identifying themselves as people who cannot be trusted to uh secure victory on the part of the United States in the war on terror against Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and other related terrorist groups.
