White House officials said they were vindicated by the latest reporting, pointing to an earlier characterization of the discussions as “war plans,” language which had now shifted to “attack plans.”
So far these have been their arguments in defense of themselves:
Hey, this is the first time we’ve catastrophically fucked up on security in a whole two months so treat us with some respect! (And letting an unelected drug-addled Nazi and some disreputable teenagers roam freely through all government computer systems doesn’t count.)
We didn’t leak war plans to a journalist, like you all claimed, we leaked attack plans. Totally different so you’re a bunch of liars.
Nothing that was leaked was classified. We totally meant the movements of our bombers to be made public before the mission started.
Hands up who thinks these are not utterly ridiculous responses!

\4. This so-called reporter with a long history of hoaxes faked this entire story.
At least they tried that line before giving up when not even most of their party believed them.
