Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.

Do not ever say that the desire to "do good" by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives. (Are you listening Barry)?:mad:

Bolton is admitting himself that there is no evidence for these claims, it's just pure speculation. It's funny how fast people are willing to take wild speculation as fact as long as they want to believe the conclusion, while actual sourced data is consistently shrugged off whenever the conclusion (or even the reporting source) is disliked.

Speculation, sure. But who knew about Israel's activities? Bolton didn't. The Israeli's probably didn't turn themselves in, but now we're just speculating again.
Speculation is perfectly fair. Did you expect that there should be no discussion until the smoking gun is produced? Hold your breath.

It is speculation by a career diplomat who understands the details of how things work at the State Department. It is also supported by the MO of prior State Department leaks, included CIA leaks, during the Bush Administration. It was the State Department that set up and leaked the Plame affair, as well as providing the media with the details of the highly classified program of monitoring terrorists' financial transactions, the CIA's detention of al Qaeda operatives overseas and the NSA's tracking of electronic communications between terrorists and their agents in the US.
Let's put it another way: We'd better hope that these leaks are deliberate, because if they aren't, if they are simply how the State Department routinely operates, then we are in far bigger trouble.--Odysseus
