Patriot. And not just because I happen to personally despise the Bush administration - I'd feel the same way to any person shining light on ANY presidential administration (without compromising bona fide classified information or anything like that of course).

To be frank though, he's really not saying anything that we didn't already know. Bush pushed for a war in Iraq come hell or high water? No big surprise there. The "smoking gun" story there will probably come out decades from now (that the administration deliberately falsified intelligence data to make the case for war on high-level administration officials' direct orders), but this is only saying "yea, he spun it a certain way to get his war". No schit. Everyone's been saying this since "Mission Accomplished". Non-story.

On the other stuff - the patterns of deliberate secrecy, hiding behind "executive privilege" to avoid furnishing FOIA and subpoena documents, the Valerie Plame affair, etc. it's all already well-known and documented. So the Bush administration is corrupt and rotten to its core. Big whoop. That's about as much "news" as saying "the sky is blue". We know it already.
