ON THE RECORD: Jan 10, 2014: Caleb Howe (Red State) summarized dialogue about Roberts Gates book revelations between Howard Kurtz and Erick Erickson" on the O'Reilly Factor with Bill O'Reilly last night: Kurtz sees this as a betrayal of the President’s confidence and claims it is harmful to America. Erick points out that, not only is this a completely unremarkable step for a former member of an administration to take, but it’s something the President was, or should have been, fully aware of before speaking up in the first place. Which leads you to the conclusion, or should lead you to the conclusion, that the President didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he was saying. It’s not a betrayal of a confidence if it wasn’t said in confidence. The President has no problem telling Gates he thought the surge would fail, no problem saying in front of others that he supported it for political reasons only, because to him that’s a perfectly normal way to act and believe. Like any left wing politician, the paying of lip service to the rubes in middle America is seen as a necessary evil." Bill O'Reilly's charge was: "..isn’t it important for Americans to “know that the temperament of their leaders is now being dictated by politics instead of what is best for the nation?” He adds “isn’t Gates doing a patriotic thing by exposing that?” Personally I dont see the book as a betrayal of any kind and agree with Erickson that "It’s not a betrayal of a confidence if it wasn’t said in confidence. " and Erickson's observation: “Only in Washington do people wring their hands over tell-all books before writing their own.” The problem is that the Tell-All books that get released after the fact are losing their punch because they are becoming so common place. They get used a political fodder but in the end serve no real purpose.
