“What’s the difference between that and this?”
The New York Times are at it again! I am beginning to wonder if they are being paid for their tip offs!
The Bush administration is rushing a delivery of precision-guided bombs to Israel, which requested the expedited shipment last week after beginning its air campaign against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, American officials said Friday.
The decision to quickly ship the weapons to Israel was made with relatively little debate within the Bush administration, the officials said. Its disclosure threatens to anger Arab governments and others because of the appearance that the United States is actively aiding the Israeli bombing campaign in a way that could be compared to Iran’s efforts to arm and resupply Hezbollah.
From Michelle Malkin:
“All in the Public Interest, right?”
More info on the leakers:
The new American arms shipment to Israel has not been announced publicly, and the officials who described the administration’s decision to rush the munitions to Israel would discuss it only after being promised anonymity. The officials included employees of two government agencies, and one described the shipment as just one example of a broad array of armaments that the United States has long provided Israel.
Who are the blabbermouths? Howell Raines gave a clue at an Aspen Institute talk yesterday:
One audience member asked about the role of media leaks. Raines opted not to go in-depth since he no longer is a working journalist, but offered a bit of a leak of his own:
“Almost all leakers are lawyers. That’s the bottom line.”

BonBon…are you suggesting that the American public DOESN’T need to know who our government is giving weapons to?
Why shouldn’t we know this information?
Should the public also not have found out about Iran-Contra and who we were giving arms to in the 80’s?
