[Vision2020] Free Speech and Crazy Bush

[Joe Huffman]

Yes, I know about satellite pictures.  And considering that I have had
classified briefings on them I probably know as much or more than you do
about them.  It doesn't matter.  If they know the picture was from a
satellite they can take measures to prevent those pictures from being taken
in the future.  That picture will reveal the time of day and it may reveal
things like ability to see through clouds, but perhaps not smoke.  Or it may
reveal they can easily defeat it through some other means.  Some information
sources are irreplaceable and easily defeated if their existence is
revealed. I don't know that this is the case in regards to Iraq, but I think
it's plausible.  Hence, although I am suspicious of Bush's motives for war I
am unable to convince myself that he is in the wrong.

Greetings Visionaires -

Joe Huffman stated:

"For example, what if the conference rooms of one or more of
Saddam's palaces is "bugged".  If Bush were to play the recording, or even
release a transcript, they would certainly know how it was obtained and
destroy that source of extremely valuable intelligence.  Same thing with
pictures."

Mr. Huffman - Technology has advanced beyond the
hidden-camera-in-a-briefcase stage.  I believe that the photos that have
been eluded to are those photos taken by US satellites.  If Iraq possesses
the capability to engage US satellites, they certainly would have done this
by now.
