First, if you'd read the piece, you'd see that the WSJ ran the piece only after learning that the Times was going to -- and the administration was aware that the paper would give it a less biased shake than either Times
Second, the op/ed pages had nothing to do with the SWIFT story; it was the exclusive province of the news pages, which are, in fact, considered liberal.
So ditto,
If I do that internet search, will I find that Bush laid out a more general plan than what the Times reported on? To say we're going to be checking banking records as a tactic in the war is different than reporting on a specific incident. Or am I missing something?
The SCOTUS ruling is nothing more than another egregious overstepping of authority, the likes of which we haven't seen since Roe v Wade. It's supposed to work like this: Congress authorizes and funds our involvement in a war, the Prez fights it, and the Supremes stay the hell out of it. They have NO role in the fighting of a war. And I find it ironic that the evil Alito, who would take away women's rights to kill their babies, said that precedent should play a major role in rendering decisions, yet, with precedent from the 1940's favoring Bush's actions, the five idiot lefty Supremes ignore it. The country needs one of these five to either die or retire ASAP so Bush can appoint another competent justice.
The GOP was outraged until they found out the agent wasn't covert.
Where in all that does it describe the specific strategies to be employed for a specific target? Rules and regs and recommendations do not equate to specific targets. That there is a program is not the same as saying how it is implemented. What part of that distinction escapes you?
