Another one bites the Bush

Another insider has come out to denounce Bush's mishandling of the war on terrorism. Check out Democracy Now's interview of Flynt Leverett -- formerly of the CIA and the National Security Council -- who resigned from the administration in March of 2003. (Although Leverett does not actually say "resigned in disgust," listen carefully to his tone of voice as he discusses his exit.)

Leverett backs up Richard Clarke. The main charge: Personnel required for the Al Qaeda hunt in Afghanistan and Pakistan were removed at a key moment and re-assigned to Iraq. He has much more to say, of course -- for one thing, he offers insight into the administration's attitude toward the Middle East peace "road map."

I'm curious as to what tactics the slime-throwers will use when and if they decide to go after Leverett. Will they say that he beats his wife? Kicks his dog? Didn't like The Passion?
