WORDS MATTER


FORMER ACTING CIA DIRECTOR JOHN MCLAUGHLIN: "SHE WAS DOING HER JOB." Just after Andrea Mitchell finished her interview with Rice, the MSNBC host spoke with John McLaughlin, who served as acting director of the CIA in the George W. Bush administration and deputy director for intelligence in the Clinton administration. McLaughlin outlined why he felt Rice unmasking names may well have been necessary for national security. "The standard you apply is, is the unmasking of this person's name essential to national security?  It is important to understand what happened? There is another standard and it has not been mentioned in anything I've heard so far. Sometimes you unmask the name in order to protect an American citizen... [like if a] senator is talking to someone that he doesn't really know who that is," said McLaughlin, later adding "[S]he was doing her job. That is what national security advisors are expected to do."


From the former CIA officer who ran for president as a conservative alternative to Trump last year:


Trump accepts a religious viewpoint that tells him he is uniquely awesome.

-- Carla Gardina Pestana historian, university professor, book author
