Who were the actors suggested to play Joe and Valerie in the movie? Now, they'll be unemployed and it's all the Bush administration's fault.

WOW .. just had to read it again.

"Mr. Libby and Mr. Cheney reacted by inquiring about Ms. Plame's role in recommending Mr. Wilson for a CIA-sponsored trip to Niger, where he investigated reports that Iraq had sought to purchase uranium."

AS IF the Commander in Chief and his closest staff wouldn't question how an interloper got involved in most top secret matters of war!! They would've been guilty of derelection of duty had they not tracked it down.

Can't wait to see the press conference by their neighborly lawyer

Let's see .. I'd say that brings the price of her book down to $1.39 at clearance table at Costco.

I'm finding some interesting quotes, too:

In response to a question along the lines of "How do you think the Fitzgerald probe will turn out?" from the man in front of me in the book-signing line, Ambassador Wilson gave the following interesting analysis tying the success of the Fitzgerald probe to the accusations against Berger:



The long-running FBI investigation into whether Sandy Berger had criminally mishandled classified documents was publicized in order to send the message that if the Fitzgerald grand jury indicts White House officials for blowing my wife's cover, then there will be retaliation by levelling criminal charges against Berger.

[NB: Not an exact quote of Wilson's response, but rather a close paraphrase.]

From Tom Daschle on the floor of the Senate:


There are some things that simply ought not be done--even in
politics. Too many people around the President seem not to understand
that, and that line has been crossed.
When Ambassador Joe Wilson told the truth about the administration's
misleading claims about Iraq, Niger, and uranium, the people around the
President didn't respond with facts. Instead, they publicly disclosed
that Ambassador Wilson's wife was a deep-cover CIA agent. In doing so,
they undermined America's national security and put politics first.
They also may well have put the lives of Ambassador Wilson's wife, and
her sources, in danger.

Wilson, a former ambassador turned White House critic, told Reuters that The Washington Post should reveal the name of Woodward’s source, and conduct an inquiry to determine why he withheld the information for more than two years from his editors and the federal prosecutor.

Before publicly disclosing his involvement in the leak case on Wednesday, Woodward was a frequent critic of Fitzgerald’s investigation in television and radio appearances. Woodward has described the case as laughable and Fitzgerald’s behavior as "disgraceful" and has referred to him as "a junkyard dog."

One day before Libby was charged, Woodward said he saw no evidence of criminal intent.



(Say, maybe Woodward knew it was Armitage??)

WE'RE RELUCTANT to return to the subject of former CIA employee Valerie Plame because of our oft-stated belief that far too much attention and debate in Washington has been devoted to her story and that of her husband, former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, over the past three years.

This is from the Washington Post??

The same newpaper that Walter Pincus writes for???

They say to much attention has been given???

Nevertheless, it now appears that the person most responsible for the end of Ms. Plame's CIA career is Mr. Wilson

And now they are pointing the finger at Wilson himself ???

Ok .. what gives cause this all SMELLS

A 'Concerted Effort' to Discredit Bush Critic
Prosecutor Describes Cheney, Libby as Key Voices Pitching Iraq-Niger Story

By Barton Gellman and Dafna Linzer
Washington Post Staff Writers
Sunday, April 9, 2006; Page A01

As he drew back the curtain this week on the evidence against Vice President Cheney's former top aide, Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald for the first time described a "concerted action" by "multiple people in the White House" -- using classified information -- to "discredit, punish or seek revenge against" a critic of President Bush's war in Iraq.

Bluntly and repeatedly, Fitzgerald placed Cheney at the center of that campaign. Citing grand jury testimony from the vice president's former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Fitzgerald fingered Cheney as the first to voice a line of attack that at least three White House officials would soon deploy against former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV.

Please, please conservatives and Republicans all - do not forget that Richard Armitage (who knew all along that he was Novak's source and said nothing), and his former boss Colin Powell, have officially joined on as "advisors" to the Presidential campaign of................John McPain.

Rats really do stick together.

All the while making these accusations, the vile Fitzgerald knew Armitage was the leaker.

"Something else must be up."

I was thinking the same thing.....something along the lines of the DOJ getting ready to drop the hammer on these traitors.
