Mr. Hadley's spokesman declined to comment on the filing on Friday. But a senior official close to Mr. Hadley said that “it appears that the only three people who knew about the instant declassification were Dick Cheney, George Bush and Scooter Libby.” The official refused to be named because he was not authorized to discuss the issue. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/09/washington/09leak.html?_r=1&ei=5094&en=ae&oref =slogin ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I cant help but think of Watergate. I think we have now seen the tipping point. I dont think, short of a created crisis, used as a power grab, that this Administration can survive. The Bush Regime is done, put a fork in them. _________________   notehead Supporter Username: Notehead Post Number: 3148 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Sunday, April 9, 2006 - 2:13 pm:        I kind of wanted to put a fork (or, better, a spear) in them back in 2000. I don't see them being popular with the populace ever again.   Southerner Citizen Username: Southerner Post Number: 888 Registered: 2-2004 Posted on Sunday, April 9, 2006 - 4:03 pm:        Oh no, not another tipping point! If I recall correctly this is about the 5th tipping point you dreaming libs have pronounced in the last 4 years (and Foj has 2 of them). Good luck with the tipping. I'm sure we'll have another one by August.
