Miscik's secret CIA memo
Through an aide, Miscik told Goss, "Sometimes saying no to the Vice President is what we get paid for" and then Miscik sat down and wrote her boss a memo. She doesn't have a copy of that one-page memo; it's classified, so even she can't see what she wrote. But here is what Miscik recalls writing:
"This is just the sort of thing that had gotten us into trouble, time and again. Telling only half the story, the part that the Administration wants to tell, and keeping the rest classified. This is wrong to be playing in a political debate. Eventually, it comes out and it looks bad, real bad, and we lose moral capital."

Stealth advertising, he said, uses commercial messages that are intended to promote a product or service that are cloaked in some other garment than a normal commercial.

If Ron Paul has no chance of winning and he is nothing more then a second-tier candidate, as many are suggesting, why is there such a concerted effort to discredit and silence him?
