Jeff Greenfield of CNN recalled a Post story in September 2003 that said "two top White House officials" had contacted six reporters "and disclosed the identity and occupation of Wilson's wife." But the Post itself has in effect repudiated this dubious story.

It's a good day when we see the media hoisted on its own petard.

Joseph Wilson, an ex-ambassador and National Security Council official in the Clinton and Bush I administrations...

What was his job on the NSC? Making sure they didn't run out of coffee and bottled water?

You can't really blame the Democrats for lying and smearing. It's what they do.

The real question is, why the hell does the Bush administration repeatedly sit there and let them lie, and even help them lie?

Fitzgerald's appointment as a special prosecutor wasn't even legal. Why on earth did they sit still for this and let them be smeared for three years.

As a result, the average idiot still thinks that "Bush lied, people died," because Bush has never troubled to deny it. If people tell lies about you for three years, and you don't bother to deny it, then either you are a liar or a coward.

WP editors should sit down and eat the last hundred issues of their newspaper. How they can say its "unfortunate," after all the crap they published is just beyond belief.

"And he should abandon the perjury prosecution of Libby, the former Cheney aide."

Needs correcting: "And he should abandon the perjury prosecution persecution of Libby, the former Cheney aide.

There. That's better.

I wonder why Colin Powell has turned out to be such a dirt bag?

The Bush haters will never apologize, they'll defend to the end and move on to the next lie and misrepresentation in their goal to destroy this President and this country too.

They are still saying that it was Rove and Cheney who leaked. I flipped channels and saw a little bit of Hannity and Corpse last night. Between lazy-eyed Alan and that other DNC hack, they were still pushing the lie. I had to change the channel again so my youngest daughter wouldn't be subjected to the onslaught of profanity I was barely able to contain. Those Alfa Hotels live in an alternate reality. I wonder what color the sky is in their world.

"and the Administration will sit there"

Isn't that the truth. Unlike the Clinton administration, which was in high campaign mode every day of its existence, one only occasionally hears a mumble from the Bush boys. Carville, Hillary!, Gore, Daschle, and Billy himself were constantly out in prime time railing against the slightest murmer of discontent or touting ad nauseum any scintilla of vindication for their absurd positions. Bush II, like his dad, prefers to let weeks pass before muttering some make-weight argument over a topic some have forgotten, but most remember as only a negative, never to be repudiated, perception.

So disappointing..

" Fitzgerald, in decency .."

BWAAAA... We have two exhibits demonstrating Fitzgerald's absence of decency and ethics- this sham of an investigation and his press conference.
Fitzgerald's outrageous and improper conduct during his press conference would have gotten any other federal prosecutor fired by the end of day.

Proposed speech for President Bush at a press conference:

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the press.

I have a brief announcement before we get started. There will be no questions allowed nor answers given on this subject today.

In light of recent disclosures, By executive order, I am hereby instructing Mr. Fitzgerald to withdraw all charges against Mr. Libby, to close his office, and to cease any further investigations.

Thank you."

Then open a bag of popcorn, sit back and watch Helen Thomas's head explode. Think of it as beautification project.

That Powell and Armitage would stand silent and let the presstitutes and rats take down W during war is really hard to fathom.

I think Powell's role in this will finish any future hopes he may have had running for office in the GOP. He may as well openly switch to the Dims if he has any political aspirations. And McCain would do well to dump him and Armitage from his campaign ASAP (not that it would make any difference to McCain's primary chances, but still ...)

A dhimmicratic pundit was asked about this last night and said the facts proved nothing. (WTF??) That this administration was still engaged in politics of personal destruction. (Just name me one)

....Libby will file a defamation of character lawsuit against Armitage"

IMHO, he may have a case against the media for "journalistic malpractice"....emotional and financial consequences of their deliberate lying
