BUMP to this thread, and a reminder to all that in light of the Libby trial, whatever happens with that in the end, it is more certain than ever that "Plamegate" was a frame-up by scum-of-the-earth leftists and DBM (mostly the same thing) who ignored every actual fact and lead (on "the real leaker" and significance thereof) to concoct a fantasy-based-assault on the White House in time of war. We must try to make sure that the media does not get away with the usual "Yawn, old news" on all of this.
This email from Joe Wilson to the loathsome William Pitt is important far beyond its puerile content, for it confirms that Joe Wilson has a warm relationship with some of the lefty blogs and smear merchants who have fanned the flames on this nonsense.
Think about all the secretive "scoops" and "tips" and "confirmations" from unnamed sources that people like Wm. Pitt and Jason Leopold have claimed on this matter. Now we know beyond any speculation that Joe Wilson considers Wm. Pitt and associates to be close "fighting" allies to whom Wilson channels talking points, etc. Wilson may have revealed more than he meant to - I think this is the most open affirmation I have seen that lyin' Joe has been pulling strings behind the scenes, funneling info to lefty bloggers, etc.
We should re-read all of Jason Leopold's output with this in mind..... I always thought that Wilson and his close associates were pulling Leopold's strings on Karl Rove, etc.

Joe Wilson responds to WaPo hatchet job Updated at 1:39 PM
Via email:
You may have seen this morning's editorial in the Post. It manages to recycle pretty much every lie and smear over the past three years in a last ditch effort to divert attention from the facts, and the role the Post itself played both in the march to war and in the leak (see Woodward).
I know many of you are better versed in Plamegate than either Valerie or I and I also know that some of you will be addressing the editorial.
I want to let you know how much Valerie and I continue to be buoyed by your support and your dedication to getting the truth out and holding the administration and its lackeys accountable for the terrible policies they have foisted on our country and on the world. We must keep fighting.
As you think about this, our website (Wilsonsupport.org) has a copy of the letter I sent to the SSCI when its report first came out, challenging some of its conclusions. The LeftCoaster has a terrific study by eriposte on the whole Niger forgery case from beginning to end. Firedoglake and the Next Hurrah both have highly informative analyses of the case by skilled researchers and former prosecutors. I recommend them all as resoruces to jog memories. by this afternoon, I expect that our own team will have an updated set of talking points to distribute for your use as well.
Each of you in one way or another has contributed to the public's (and in many cases our own) understanding of the issues from the beginning. Thank you for continuing to do so.
Joe Wilson
