I read foreign news sites.
The stories are chilling about what goes on.
I followed what happened to the various members of Seal Team 6.

When initial stories pique my interest (government says A and then says B and then says C) I tend to follow them on foreign sites.

I just gave a summary on how the military answered the unanswered questions.

7 different Afghan soldiers get on a helicopter that aren't supposed to with Seal Team 6 and the military didn't think that was a big deal. You tell me that wouldn't stick in your mind.

Heck the Dimmies even had a calendar!

Frank Lautenberg introduced a "Web Calendar" being used by Democrats to show the number of days that have passed "since the White House leaked the identity of a CIA agent," the senator said.

Under the Bush administration, the identity of CIA employee Valerie Plame was revealed. The ditzy press went into a snit, because a) she’s pretty, b) a decade earlier she had an undercover CIA job, and c) her husband, a State department employee, was openly critical of Bush’s Saddam war. Books were written on the subject, movies made, Congressional hearings held. There were talk-show adoration-fests, and calls for W to resign because *he damaged our nation’s security*. The full blahblah of liberal outrage.

The Obama administration made a boo-boo in Kabul which revealed the identity of the CIA station chief there. The media/political response?

It's a good thing Joe the Plumber came along to distract the masses from yet another one of Obama's embarrassing and unprofessional bungling incidents (White House outs CIA official by mistake). Now the media can ignore Obama and put all their focus on somebody who holds no position of power or influence.

First Bureaucrat: Oh, crap! Why do I get all the shi*ty cases?

Mentor Bureaucrat: Hey, it's easy - just mishandle it!

First Bureaucrat: Oooooooh!

Mentor Bureaucrat: Incompetence is penalty-free, Dude. I learned it from GW, the Bush.

Wiki is pretty good if they cite credible sources.
You just have to be careful what you pull off there.
