Ms. Alexandrovna, you are my favorite

On her blog at-Largely, Raw Story editor Larisa Alexandrovna has just explained the recent CIA assassination ring story perfectly.  You should read the whole post, but here is the final section.

A former Vice President (really President) - we will call him Mr. Smith - gets wind that a reporter will soon be coming out with a book in which it is alleged that Smith ran a death squad, which operated in several countries, including our own. Smith knows that he will have to admit to some of this, because the reporter has managed to get some incriminating information. Smith decides that he will get ahead of this story by controlling it. Smith's version will be that he had initiated a program to assassinate ONLY the really bad guys plotting to kill us. But, he decided against activating the program because it was illegal and he was having second thoughts. In Smith's version of the story, it will be admitted that Smith did in fact mislead Congress and ordered others to do so, but ONLY because the program was never activated.

Smith will then have a few loyal pals still active in government launder this version of events by planting the story in the press. Smith won't comment for the story, but Smith's daughter will do the TV rounds and point to the article(s) and say see, it never operated and if it had it would have only gone after the really evil guys who tried to blow up America. 

Also, everyone should listen to Alexandrovna's interviews on Antiwar Radio, especially concerning PlameGate (something else that Dick Cheney has recently been found culpable for).
