I wish I could, but let's just let Fitzgerald do his job...shall we? :-)

Maybe....

It all depends on the meaning of "s".

Funny how the "s" is "unambiguous," but put that pesky "i" in front of it and everyone is just totally befuddled as to the meaning!

[beyond the sea]

LOL

A classified memo leaked to the press reveals that what Rove discussed with Cooper was classified. Therefore Rove did it.

I see.

And who leaked the classified memo? Does that not matter? Are we supposed to pretend we didn't notice?

[tobyhill]

If this little "s" is true for one paragraph then it wouldn't matter who had the document but the Grand Jury would have to show that someone actually read this little "s". They don't even have this document, it's been described by some CIA analyst that is probably actually the one that gave Plames name to Miller anyway.

But it is inescapably inappropriate for CBS to put their opinions in news articles

They probably detest the fact that they have to sprinkle their opinions with news from time to time.

See just one of many related psots, in my FR post:

"Was the Narcissistic Joe Wilson a Source in "Outing" His Own Wife Valerie Plame as a "CIA Agent"?"

David Gregory's wife...

LEAKS, what LEAKS?!

Ms. Beth Wilkinson attended Princeton University on a four-year Army ROTC scholarship and received her B.A. in Politics, magna cum laude, in 1984. In 1987, she was awarded her J.D. degree from the University of Virginia School of Law.

After being selected for the Army's Honors Program, Ms. Wilkinson served as a captain and an assistant to the Army General Counsel for intelligence, special operations, and national security matters from 1987-1991. During her tenure, she was assigned to the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida for six months to assist the United States v. Noriega prosecution team with litigation regarding the use of classified information.

Ms. Wilkinson completed her four-year obligation with the Army and was appointed an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York in 1991.

In 1995, Ms. Wilkinson received the Justice Department's highest award, The Attorney General's Exceptional Service Award, for her efforts in the Mosquera case. That same year, she was selected to serve as Counsel to the Deputy Attorney General for criminal law matters. She advised the Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General on a variety of criminal law policy issues and sensitive investigations.

Following her assignment in the Deputy Attorney General's Office, Ms. Wilkinson was appointed Principal Deputy Chief of the Terrorism and Violent Crime Section of the Criminal Division at the Justice Department.

But what now interests a federal grand jury is a single paragraph in that memo identifying "Valerie Wilson" as a CIA employee HELLO!!! The memo says WILSON!!! Everyone KNEW Valerie WILSON was Joe WILSON'S WIFE! How does this memo relate to the name PLAME being leaked? Am I missing something here?

[GraceCoolidge]

Not to mention that the "s" could refer to other information in the paragraph, not Plame's identity. But of course, that would run counter to the media's insistence that Plame was a Really Important Covert Operative and the CIA's main job for years has been keeping her cover secure. The whole thing is simply ridiculous.

[tobyhill]

You're nor missing anything. This is CBS's attempt to redeem themselves from Rathergate.

[tobyhill]

If that was the way the CIA worked then it's no wonder they couldn't keep a secret.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

As least as best as I understand.

Others have verified this, but I will add my confirmation too. Of course, CBS could find out the truth, if they wanted to.

[editor-surveyor]

" No weapons of mass destruction had been found and some key intelligence used to make the administration's case had proven false"

Figures, from CBS; two bold lies constitute the heart of their story.

When did they run a news story?

[Miss Behave]

"They are serious..........about making asses of themselves"

Yes, beyond.

Big, fat, fetid, ten axe-handled across, cellulited, drooping, pasty, rank, flapping, flatulent, cheap-tattooed, beastly, crack-showing, stinking ones.

[tobyhill]

I just looked on a Chinese Menu and "s" meant steamed rice.

[madison10]

Wish the MSM & Libs would all take a dive off a cliff in a herd of swine.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

LOL!!!

Not laughing at your previous posts, just your wording in light of your short "vacation"

I know you did not mean to be funny but you gave me a good laugh and I thought "Man, you are good." You keep chuggin' along.
