I am not one of the tin foil hat crowd, but Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame are bit players (albeit important bit players) in a much larger conspiracy by the beltway elite to discredit the President and punish him for failing to kowtow to their advice. The CIA and the State Department, the MSM, the Democrat Party, and many others who count themselves amongst the intellectual elite are all a part of this conspiracy which amounts to a teason against the elected leadership of this country.
Someday we will know the full extent of this effort and we will wonder how the Republic survived (If it does).
These sleeper liberals engulfed the CIA in liberal politics with their well-timed leaks, propaganda intended to damage America (Bush and Cheney particularly), and repeated grandstanding that delighted the leftist news media who was eager to hurt conservatives so that the very Marxist Hillary Clinton would have a clear path to power.

Have you noticed that almost all of the Bush attacks via the MSM have come from the Dept of Homeland Security? Warrantless wiretaps story, FEMA stories, ICE...
