Speculative Intelligence

Spoiler alert: I have no access to other than open sources.
I have been very skeptical of Edward Snowden's behavior.*

The following is only speculative. 
BTW: What is the opposite of B.S.? ... S B (Steve Benen)
How to put it very carefully?  The separation of powers is one thing, but intelligence is not just for the executive branch.  The issue coming to logger heads, may show that Edward Snowden had no alternative, when oversight is such as it has become**.  It is hard to believe his actions merit rebuke, if congress's oversight is an oversite[!]

Light Speed

I was going to quip, a week or few ago, that things are happening faster than I can read.  Well, that has always been the case.  But in particular, things change faster than I could comment on, while others share faster than I could ever keep up with.  Then there are things that I feel have maybe jumped the shark(1) .  Well...that is not exactly the ticket(2) .  But there are issues that I did not even want to get deeper into because the sources^ are too skeptical*.

Not to embed further footnotes,* but there is a heirarchy of globalism that is a reality.  Not to resort to labelism, but it is not as easy as "heirarchy" or "globalism" or branching of powers, but is a matter of transparency, pragmatism and incrementalism.

Spare the jargonaut: actually I am sparing the footnote page or rather (fn) and bibliotechnogarble**.[^]

Bottomline, I am being relatively brief in this briefing which reminds me to add label Media Matters, which is the prime source from which I cut-and-paste the "headline". Also adding Share 'n Angle, GPS, and Objectivism. BooYah!

** I will note that I have added new labels: Susan Rice, UN Ambassador, and National Security. It may be hard to believe I have not already use the last one but it is so broad a category, somewhat akin to Intelligence another non label***. ALSO NOTE: anacronistic insertions or embed links @* as in scroll over each and find b.s.(blogsearch) and flip-flop as I have sourced these.

Navigation Labels: Leaks
In the midst of the previous post, I pause to post a navigation refresher. A bookmark, if you will. I don't know about leaks, but a hint of the game may be more on target as to help with this blog.

Imaginings...(GAZA)

Here we go again. Of course reading the full story may make a difference, but I will pre-empt that.

What happened to "the principle of one president at a time"?

There is no talk of Obama approving direct diplomatic negotiations with Hamas early on, but he is being urged by advisers to initiate low-level or clandestine approaches, and there is growing recognition in Washington that the policy of ostracising Hamas is counter-productive.

The President-elect is rarely mum.

[At this point I pause to read the full story and post a leak(tangent). The contradictions may be of the nature of "damned if you do, damned if you don't" stay mum, which is impossible. Combined with the hope for a free society and progress. Epitomized by the irony of the discussion about secret talks.]

Breaking News!

Not exactly.
Bush had no plan to capture Bin Laden
But did plan to capture Iraqi oil fields in May of 2001.
BEFORE SEPTEMBER 11th!
Iraq plans prevented post-9-11 success in Afghanistan.

[Not to mention: Investigations of U.S. Attorney Scandal]

Beating around the Bush:

My view of the recent claim that Richard Clarke is lying is that the administration would not know the truth if they saw it.

But this is not another charge that the administration themselves are lying, but that they truly do not know the truth. Exhibit A: Rumsfeld says "facts change". That means that he can rely on what he wants, not on facts. Exhibit B: Intelligence is an opinion. That means that they can pick and choose the facts that they will rely on. To top it off they can even rely on facts not being reliable to safely cover their bets or rather conclusions, actions or the lack there of.

My conclusion, not having seen the previous 2002 testimony, is that they still cannot tell the truth when they see it. Further investigation and testimony may not clear up the truth, but further point to the problem that they cannot work with the cards they are dealt. After the fact, Monday morning quarterbacking is easier than 20/20 foresight. But so is Monday morning scape-goating.

Here we have an administration that wants to be able to act on a threat based on their own picking and choosing of intelligence but could not clearly conclude from the intelligence that is being presented; prior to 9-11, during current testimony, and likely during the 2002 testimony
