Mr. Wilson, in a July 6, 2003, Op-Ed commentary in The New York Times, disputed Mr. Bush's statement in his State of the Union address that January that Iraq was trying to develop a nuclear bomb and had sought to buy uranium in Africa.

Now, that's not quite true.

and for the first time raised the possibility of bringing charges peripheral to the leak itself

Could have predicted this was going to happen. Ahab Walsh redux.

Was Mr. Fitzgerald appointed by Bill Clinton?

Does he have ties to Daly's machine?

Just curious.

[beckett]

There is no real news in the report, so one can only conclude that the NYT is firing a shot across Fitzgerald's bow, warning him about "intense criticism" of he doesn't make the Democrats happy.

Joe Wilson's book is due out any day now. He needs publicity.

[Lancey Howard]

I have never seen a case that is going nowhere as slowly as this one. And "nowhere" is exactly where it will end up.

OHHHH They mean the Joe Wilson who works for a think tank funded by SAUDI ARABIA!!! Gotcha. ;)

prosecutors have widened the range of conduct under scrutiny and for the first time raised the possibility of bringing charges peripheral to the leak itself.

I've stated all along they would widen the range, but I don't think it's in the direction this article states.

[chiller]

"Republican lawyers worried that the leak case, in the hands of an aggressive prosecutor, might grow into an unwieldy, time-consuming and politically charged inquiry,"

This is the playbook from now until November. If they've got nothing, theey're forced to make it up and start an official inquiry. Repubs better grow some cajones and stop this crap. You'd never guess we were in charge. Never.
