WHITE HOUSE STAFFERS PLAN TO INFILTRATE AL QAEDA
Will Leak Bin Laden's Precise Location to the Press
According to a top-secret plan being developed by the Bush
administration, high ranking White House staffers intend to
infiltrate
al Qaeda in the hopes of leaking Osama bin Laden's precise location
to
the press.
The plan, codenamed Operation Blabbermouth, was hatched over the
weekend
after a marathon discussion concerning the ongoing CIA leak scandal,
a
source inside the White House said today.
"We decided that instead of wringing our hands about leaking the
name of
that CIA operative, why not put out ability to leak information to
positive use?" the source said. "After all, leaking is the one thing
we're really good at."
The source said that White House staffers are currently undergoing
training in the hopes of infiltrating al Qaeda by year's end: "We
intend
to infiltrate al Qaeda as completely as Halliburton has infiltrated
the
White House."
Once close to bin Laden, the source said, the White House staffers
will
immediately place phone calls to newspaper reporters to leak the
madman's precise location: "We're all going to have Judy Miller on
speed-dial,"
Counterterrorism expert Richard Clarke, while praising Operation
Blabbermouth for its inventiveness, said that the plan has one major
flaw: "In order for a plan like that to work, it would have to be
kept
totally secret, and they've already leaked it to the press."
In response to Mr. Clarke's criticism, the White House source
offered
this response: "Oops."
From Andy Borowitz.
Won't happen. The White House won't pull the trigger on Osama bin
Ladin, (or even reveal his well-known exact location), until he has
outlived his usefulness. The death of OBL would cause too many people
to conclude the "war on terror" was somehow over.
Did you see the latest "twist" in the proposed legislation to extend
the Patriot Act? The Administration wants to introduce at least
double,
and maybe even triple or multiple jeopardy! Under the proposed
changes,
prosecutors would be allowed to appeal verdicts where judges or
juries
found people "not guilty", and there is a specific provision for
prosecutors to appeal the penalty decisions of judges and juries in
capital cases. If the prosecution doesn't get a "guilty" verdict, it
will be able to just retry the case over, and over, and over, and
over
until some judge or jury makes the "right" decision. Prosecutors will
be allowed to appeal penalties in cases where the jury debates
between
life in prison or death for a convicted prisoner and doesn't decide
on
the death penalty.
They may as well make all future printings of the Constitution
available on 5-inch rolls, single or double ply. :-(
Not a day goes by without my thinking that the Bush Administration is
destroying this once-great nation.
Was it really *great* under Clinton?
How so?
Once again, I don't play that game here.
And once again I show that you cannot provide proof to your empty claims
when confrontonted, relying instead to the old Krause tactic of "Sorry,
but I don't play that game here".
*Your* game has been uncovered and is getting old.
I don't have to provide "proof" ........
Game, set, match.
Idiot! How about, for starters, $0.78 gasoline? How about a FANTASTIC
economy? How about a balanced federal budget? How about no wars that's
sole purpose was an attempt at political gain? How about a cabinet that
wasn't corrupt, decieptful, win-at-all-costs? Game, set, match, indeed.
