Feinstein: Some in WH Leaked Classified Info

Feinstein suggests some in White House leaked info - Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Democratic leader of the Senate Intelligence Committee said Monday that the White House appears to be responsible for some leaks of classified information.

"I think the White House has to understand that some of this is coming from their ranks," Sen. Dianne Feinstein told a World Affairs Council forum.

The California lawmaker said she was certain that President Barack Obama, who receives a daily intelligence briefing, isn't disclosing secret information, but she was uncertain about others at the White House. "I don't believe for a moment that he goes out and talks about it," she said.

"She was certain" doesn't appear to be her quote, rather the wishful writing of the author. "She was certain" implies factual information.

"I don't believe" is her direct quote. "I don't believe" implies an opinion, maybe based on facts, but certainly not definitive.

Even when there is nothing, and you admit there is nothing,you think there is something.

Almost everyone (other than you) KNOWS there is a leak (or leaks). These folks aren't stupid. Maybe you are ignorant, silly, or insane (take your pick) for holding a contrary position in spite of the facts.

I'm voting you're ignorant!

Edit: maybe I should put up a poll?

So is Feinstein lying? She thinks there's something there.

My comment was about the writer presenting her opinion as fact.
