IRAN:ROMNEY REAMS JIHAD LOVIN MEDIA

Most excellent Governor Romney;

"First of all, I woke up this morning, and I was shocked to see the ABC News report regarding covert action in Iran.  I was not shocked because of the covert action.  I was shocked because a news organization with such a renowned reputation as ABC News would deem it appropriate to publish information about a covert action existing, and publish that not only to America but to the entire world.  The reporting has the potential of jeopardizing our national security.  Stated quite plainly, it has the potential of affecting human life. We may never know. 

"As you know, Iran is developing a nuclear bomb.  Iran sponsors terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas.  Iran's President has denied the Holocaust.  Its leadership has incited to genocide.  Its leadership has suggested the use of nuclear weapons.  In fact, the spread of nuclear terror - nuclear proliferation - is certainly the most threatening of all the prospects on the planet today.  And Iran is the most noted perpetrator of this nuclear proliferation.  And Iran is supplying weapons and expertise that kill American soldiers in Iraq.

"And with all those things in mind and despite those factors, ABC News published classified information that warns Iran and that has the potential of putting Americans at risk.  Now no one wants in a country like ours any form of censorship, but the media has a responsibility to police itself.  And in the last little while, we've seen two examples of a failure in this responsibility.  One by The New York Times with regards to reporting on the electronic eavesdropping on potential terrorists and the other is this report by ABC News.  Responsible policing I just don't think happened on their part.  Responsible policy-making happened on their part.

"And I think it's important to recognize that we have a global war on terror which continues.  It's a global war against violent jihad.  We've seen six years of this.  It's not about to disappear anytime soon.  With that in mind, I think it's time for leadership in the media to consider and adopt voluntary rules of responsible reporting with regards to matters of national security.  Of course, we have a First Amendment which we cherish and value.  It provides for freedom of the press but with this freedom goes the responsibility of the press.  I'm not looking, as I said, for government censorship.  I'm looking for corporate responsibility."

It's a criminal offense to disclose classified information. The solution is not "voluntary policing" but simply "policing". The source of this information should GO TO JAIL.

One of the top priorities of the next administration should be a top down cleaning up of the intelligence services and State Dept. Enough of this B.S. already...

Maybe I should check the next time Romney is in the area on a campaign swing (this being Iowa and all) and ask him if a house-cleaning is on his first 100 day "to-do" list...

Unfortunately the culture at the intelligence organizations is entrenched so deep you would have to fire all current employees and ban them from every working in that roll in the future. Then begin the years long process of building a new organization from the ground up.

Maaaahhhh friends...

I am an exile from the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts. I spent the first 38 years of my life there--until Planet Liberal had firehosed so much PC swill down my throat that if I didn't leave I was gonna drown.

I met pre-Gov. Romney in 1994, and closely followed his Senate campaign against Ted "Vehicular Homicide Gets you a Minimum 10 years prison in Florida" Kennedy.

Mitt is a good man. A good FAMILY man.

An EXTREMELY SMART man (brilliant, really), and a man of outstanding personal values and integrity.

And a true conservative.

If you don't believe me...Just check out who the Left/Media has targeted amongst the Repubs. ALREADY Doonesbury has been obsessed w/smearing him.

They understand, w/the instinct of a wolf sensing a strong sheepdog...

Mitt is their nightmare. Their Enemy #1.

Mitt is the closest thing the Repubs have to a Reagan.

I love Newt. Newt is a figure of historical proportions, who forged a poliitical victory even more shocking than Reagan's. But Newt ain't running, and I fear his "wait till September" plan is too clever by half.

I say, "Get on the Mitt train, people!"

The Mass-holes of Planet Liberal (esp the Boston Glob politburo) thought they had crushed Mitt w/an incredible smear campaign in 1994...But he came back, and just 8 years later won the governorship...and now he is running for President.

For those filthy RED degenerates, he is the ultimate nightmare...A Massachusetts politician NOT NAMED KENNEDY OR KERRY BECOMING PRESIDENT? AND A REPUBLICAN? AND A MORMON?! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

I am so happy to be on Mitt's team. Esp. to rub their ugly snouts in it.
