This will put DUers panties in a wad!

[SmithL]

So Wilson won't go to jail for outing his wife?

No doubt! But just watch...the MSM, rather than reporting that the news was no news, will just let yet another one of their errors fade away without comment.

[syriacus]

Nice!

[OXENinFLA]

BLAWAWAWAWWAWWAWW!!!!!!!!!!!

What's that sound I hear in the distance?

Why I think that's Tom Harkin going mad!!

[ravingnutter]

It hasn't hit their radar yet...had the website up so I could laugh at their "Karl Rove planted the tapes to distract from the Gannon/Guckert scandal" comments and just checked "Latest"...nothing there yet.

"It was just a Washington flap played for all it was worth by the same news organizations now about to watch their employees go to prison over it," says Lowry.

Har-de-har-har!!!! Will there be a perp walk?? Will Eason Jordan cover this??

JOURNALISTS TARGETED BY SELVES,

COST TAXPAYERS MILLIONS,

INVOICE GOES TO EMPLOYER!

[Ben Hecks]

Ping!

[areafiftyone]

The fact that it is in Newsmax means that it probably won't hit their radar and if it does they won't believe it.

[MamaLucci]

pingeroo!

[JesseJane]

It's starting...

Plame Leak Not a Crime?

Looks like our Valerie Plame theory--that Ashcroft recused himself so that fewer people will scream whitewash when the Justice Department announces it can't prove a crime and no one gets indicted --is getting more play.

Thank you, JJ. Again, who wanted direction focused on Africa but not Syria and Iran; I'm still asking my question; and it may never find resolution. The story was a tempest from the get go. Oh dang.. that's right France is still determined to sell arms to China; of course Dick Cheney halted the process of major-serious arms sales there; but now there are talks concerning lesser "arms" sales. I wonder how the joint Russia-France Space Programs are rolling..

[MisterRepublican]

And don't forget, Gannon was connected to the Plame thingy, somehow, so this is just Rovian propaganda to keep the truth about BUSHCo.s criminal blah blah blah......

[Alia]

No... Wilson will probably get a cushy job doing college "speaking" assignments at $10-30,000 per "event".

[Howlin]

Surely this man is a Karl Rove puppet!!

[Mo1]

Since in neither case does Plame qualify, Toensing says: "There is a serious legal question as to whether she qualifies as 'covert.'"

True ...

But I believe ... leaking classified information from the CIA as Joe Wilson did by his op-ed piece in the NYT is against the law

[OXENinFLA]

The Plame game: Was this a crime?

lol! Yep. Some people think "connecting" dots is like pointing out stars in the sky and saying: Hey! These have connectness! lol

[windchime]

Thanks!
