"Actually GOP Rep. Peter King (Rino-NY) has called for the probe to focus more on the CIA than any alleged 'White House' leak. But you're right, the best defense is a good offense and the GOP should be calling for a full accounting." ~ Gothmog

Here is the email I sent to Tony Snow on 10-5-03:

Hi Tony!

What a great interview with Peter King!

Even though he didn't attribute bad motives to the anti-war, Bush haters in the CIA, I am so glad to see that some in the Republican Party are finally willing to step forward and insist that, for the sake of national security, the CIA should be focused on waging war against the terrorists and the states that sponsor them, instead of waging war against the Bush Administration.

There are swamps that need to be drained in the CIA, the State Department, and elsewhere in our government, and it needed to start YESTERDAY!

And you'll notice the new information about Wilson addressing Senate Dems at a 'policy' meeting in May fits in with your theory. How much do you want to bet that Sen. Chuck Schumer, who is known for his political instincts rather than his national security credentials, was at that 'policy' meeting and that's why Schumer was busy driving the CIA to get the FBI to launch a formal inquiry all summer.
