Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

CIA Plan

(Fox News) - Colorado Republican Congressman and presidential candidate Tom Tancredo is calling for an investigation into an ABC News report on an alleged CIA operation to destabilize the Iranian government.

The network reported this morning that President Bush has authorized a covert operation using propaganda, disinformation and financial measures.

Both the CIA and the White House refused to discuss the report. Tancredo says he wants the attorney general to look into who leaked the information — and ABC's decision to air it.

Tancredo says — "When foreign governments and terrorist groups can simply watch the news to find out about potential U.S. intelligence operations, we have a problem on our hands. I hope Democrats and the media show as much interest in this as they did over Valerie Plame."
