How impatiently do you think Porter Goss is pacing and looking at the ceiling, anticipating the end of Fitzgerald's investigation before he can sweep her out the door? Of what use could she be to the CIA with all this press and speculation, except that he has to remain neutral and not act until the investigation concludes? But, he must be grinding his teeth to fangs ..

And on another note about WMD in Iraq: if we had been 1000% certain there were no WMD, the command structure would NOT have ordered our poor troops to be outfitted in chemical suits and gas masks .. as was the case. You just don't do that in horrendous desert conditions for show.

I wish that were so. But it's hard and rare to fire someone from any government job--let alone a sensitive one like at the CIA.

Of course if she turns out to have spoken to the media, etc., that's another story. hehe

Wilson was certain. Valerie must have been certain. Nobody (in the MSM) ever notes that.
