Attack Tactics

The attack on Watergate Informer Mark Felt should come as no surprise.

During the current administration we have seen ruthless attacks on those willing to speak up. Richard Clark and Joe Wilson are just two examples of those who have served their country admirably and were trashed in the wake of their criticisms of the White House and for being willing to step up and tell the truth.

Both Republican politicians and right-wing commentators jump in to discredit anyone who attempts to speak out.

But some journalists are pointing out fairly, that this phenomenon is not limited to conservatives. They quickly go back to the Clinton years and point out the criticism leveled at that great American hero…Linda Tripp.
