McClellan's Book Shows Why Josh Marshall Targeted
Scott McClellan informs us in his book, "What Happened" an important piece of information for TPM and Josh Marshall: The President was behind efforts to neutralize TPM.
McClellan shares one goal of the White House "Office of Public Liasion": To neutralize groups.
McClellan discloses key interactions with Addington, linking the Vice President through Addington with the domestic propaganda. The DoD emails show McClellan, Rove, and Libby were on the same page and coordinating with Addinton.
McClellan discloses his role on Feith's White House Iraq Group, largely confirming the Feith-White House connection on propaganda.
On Plame, McClellan parrots the "inherent authority" of the President to dieclassify anything. This is an illusory power. ORCON rules prohibit even the President from declassifying information unless the originating office concurs. This did not happen, as evidenced by the CIA request for an investigation into the leak of Plame's name.
