So what about NBC's Tim Russert? Like Miller, he received a confidentiality waiver from his source, Cheney's Chief of Staff Scooter Libby, to appear before the Plame grand jury and for more than a year, Russert has been free to inform viewers everything he knows about the investigation, particularly whether his version of events contrasts with testimony given by Libby. Instead, Russert has remained mum, conveniently playing dumb whenever the topic comes up on "Meet the Press."

Russert has remained mum, conveniently playing dumb..

"playing" dumb? some might beg to differ that he is playing. ;-)

Independent counsel Patrick Fitzgerald has given Miller the okay to talk and write about the episode. But does she want the facts out?

I think it's more a question of, do the New York Times and the Democrats want the facts out?

The MSM attack dogs are spinning bogus "news stories" against our elected Republican politicians for their Democrat political masters.

Just look at the last election:

1. New York Times rehashes an old hysterical crap head bogus "news story" about weapons that went missing in Iraq and are supposedly being used to kill our troops, in the week before the election.

2. CBS waves forgeries around insisting that even "if" (they have to this day never really acknowledged them as phony) the documents are fake the "news story" is still accurate.

3. AP tries to usurp the free election by hyping bogus exit poll numbers, in a bid to keep Republican voters at home.

That's just 3 horrendous blatant abuses off the top of my head, now add to that the daily negative reporting and spinning of the MSM and you got a serious problem.

" During the interview, Mr. Russert was asked limited questions by Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald about a telephone conversation initiated by Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's Chief of Staff, in early July of last year. Mr. Russert told the Special Prosecutor that, at the time of that conversation, he did not know Ms. Plame's name or that she was a CIA operative and that he did not provide that information to Mr. Libby. Mr. Russert said that he first learned Ms. Plame's name and her role at the CIA when he read a column written by Robert Novak later that month.

Emphasis added to the eye-catching phrasing - Russert did not provide Libby with a name or say she was an operative, but did he say "I heard Wilson's wife is at the Agency"?"

Wasn't Novak with Russert when he stormed off the set cussing, or was that another show?
