So here is what the CIA had been up to. Was Joe Wilson's mission likewise designed to publicly embarrass Bush?

Otherwise, why was Wilson allowed to do a CIA mission without signing the customary non-disclosure form? Didn't anyone consider the risk to the secrecy of his wife's identity if he started writing op-eds about his intelligence mission?

Too bad Fitzgerald seems to have jumped on board the DNC/NYT/rogue CIA train. I was hoping that he was an honest prosecutor. Just another liberal flunky, evidently.

Thier needs to be an investigation into whether certain elements at the CIA including Plame and Wilson concocted an operation to bring down Bush.

"....the analyst who identified himself as its author told a private dinner last week of secret, unheeded warnings years ago about going to war in Iraq."

"Relying on a multi-paged, single-spaced memorandum, Pillar said he and his colleagues concluded early in the Bush administration that military intervention in Iraq would intensify anti-American hostility throughout Islam."

Is THAT all there is, LOL? He and his colleagues are positively BRILLIANT, because they figured that one in advance :)

... For President Bush to publicly write off a CIA paper as just guessing is without precedent....

These are the clowns who heard about the collapse of the Soviet Union when they read it in the New York Times.

Disband them and put them on the streets as meter maids, where they might be almost effective.

If Freepers and others don't do everything possible to derail this railroading of the President, than Nixon and the Watergate situation which the left invented and flakked, are going to look like a tea party: as our national security from the onslaught of Islam, without and within, is at stake; nothing less.

This exchange leads to the unavoidable conclusion that the president of the United States and the Central Intelligence Agency are at war with each other.

Last time that happened.(JFK...Bay of Pigs)

a president died.

Of course it is. The CIA has become a den of beurocrats who care more about maintaining their own butts in their cushy offices than they do about the interests of the country. Yes, I'm sure there are exceptions, and, yes, I really believe this.

What is the entire dossier on this Fitzgerald? Can anyone post information about this guy. He's been lauded as a "great" proscutor. But what does that mean?

Who does he hang around with?

Who does he contribute to?

There were no real criminals. Plame was no longer an undercover agent when this happened.

And so how is it that we were attacked on 9/11 if this brilliant deduction was made early in the Bush administrataion.

The murderers just 'knew'?

They murdered Daniel Pearl because??

It's clear now that the CIA has enemies in it's midst.

The State Department too, and for that matter, every single governmental institution has people who hate this country with all their being.

So, maybe we'll find out who really sent Joe Wilson to Africa.

And maybe the media will be forced to acknowledge that Wilson lied in his book and in his testimony before Congress.

And maybe George Tenent will be held accountable for (knowingly?) providing false information to the Bush Administration regarding WMD's. Or that Tenet was the one who first told Cheney about Plame.

Maybe the fact that the CIA (and State Dept.) has been infiltrated by agenda driven liberal elitists will be revealed.

Or Libby will take the fall and it will all be swept under the carpet again.

Sadly, Comey the Deputy Atty General, appointed Fitzgerald to this investigation, and they are BEST FRIENDS.....and Comey is the one who gave Sandy Burglar a Slap on the Wrist for DESTROYING and Stealing Classified Docs.

- likewise investigate ALL leaks that have been
coming out of this grand jury
