When "National Security" Doesn't Matter
...apparently, when you want to nail a political opponent. Considering the tight-fistedness with which this Administration handles anything classified, it should come as a surprise that House Majority Leader Bill Frist is calling for the declassification of certain 2002 testimony Richard A. Clarke gave to House and Senate intelligence committees.
Oh wait... it's Richard Clarke. A political enemy that the administration is trying desperately to destroy. I guess, in that case, secrecy and national security don't matter.
Too bad the Republicans don't give the same regard to the truth when it comes to anything that the administration has done. Which is ironic, considering that Scott McClellan's comments on the matter fit his bosses to a T:
Replace "he" and "someone" with Bush, and McClellan would be telling the truth.
For once.

"With every new assertion he makes, every revision of his past comments, he only further undermines his credibility," McClellan told reporters.
Asked about Bush's personal reaction to the criticism from a former White House aide, McClellan said, "Any time someone takes a serious issue like this and revises history it's disappointing."
Replace "he" and "someone" with Bush, and McClellan would be telling the truth.
For once.
