Freudian slip of paper ?


"not going to protect one staffer and sacrifice the guy the Pres. asked to stick his head in the meat grinder because of incompetence of others"


"not going to protect one staffer and sacrifice the guy that was asked to stick his head in the meat grinder because of incompetence of others"


What a difference two little lined-through words can make in a memo?


And thus, by his own hand, in his own writing, did VP Dick Cheney reveal the complicity and foreknowledge of one President George W. Bush in the WH effort to cover-up the full scope of the "smear Joe Wilson, scare other potential 'whistleblowers', blind the CIA's Iran/nuclear weapons research, and thwart by delay a major threat to W's re-election" conspiracy. (which worked like a charm by hiding themselves behind subservient "reporters" first-amendment privileges)


Thank the gods for special prosecutors (especially ones like Fitzgerald), subpeona powers, and now, divided government. To which I say "faster please".
