Vice President Dick Cheney is not the unidentified source who told Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward about the CIA status of the wife of Bush administration critic Joseph Wilson, a person familiar with the investigation said Thursday.
Woodward did not talk with the vice president that day, did not provide the information that's been reported in Woodward's notes and has not had any conversations over the past several weeks about any release for allowing Woodward to testify, said the person, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Woodward gave a sworn deposition in the CIA leak investigation on Monday, testifying that a senior administration official told him in mid-June 2003 that Plame worked as a CIA analyst on weapons of mass destruction.
Plame's identity was revealed in July 2003 by columnist Robert Novak, eight days after her husband, a former U.S. ambassador, accused the Bush administration of twisting prewar intelligence to exaggerate the Iraqi threat.
The Woodward revelations renewed attention to an investigation into who was responsible for leaking Plame's name, an inquiry that had appeared to be winding down after last month's indictment of Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
So a red herring is the source? The plot thinnens.
Ping.
The source is Tenet...At least that's my guess.
A Source is a source, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a source of course
That is, of course, unless the source is the famous Mr. X
Go right to the source and ask of course
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse.
He's always on a steady course.
The famous Mr. X
The Rats must be crying. This ain't good news for them They wanted Cheney and Rove out of the WH. And it ain't gonna happen.
I'm going to wait until the movie comes out-All the Columnist's Men.
AZ, unless I'm not reading your post right, whether Dr Rice as National Security Advisor or Secretary of State, it doesn't matter. Both positions are in the administration! I've seen some of your posts on other threads. Why do you think(want)Dr Rice to be the "source"?
Awww, Wilbur.
Chistopher Hitchens, of all people, has the best one-liner summary of this whole deal:
"the non-commission of non-crimes and the non-outing of a non-covert CIA bureaucrat"
There once was a man named Source, Who spilled out secrets with no remorse, He told deep throat. Who f**** the goat, Set government in crisis. of course!
Yes, Tenet's my bet also.
Is that you Sen. McCain?
That's right. Now I'm wondering who this "administration source" was after all.
When is the last time the Wash Post equated Secy of State with Top Bush Admin officials? They alsways make the distiction between State Dept. and Administration.
I could be wrong. I just got off the phone with someone who sweares it is Karen Hughes. But Condi was in the know and would had legitmate access to such info.
Hey, there you are, AC. What were we talking about? It's been so long I've forgotten. LOL, just kidding.
I thought it was her husband who dropped her name.
Novak said that it was a senior administration official, not a partisan gunslinger and that everyone would be surprised. Well, Colin Powell fits all three criteria...
I've been exercising my legs for a while -- need to keep them loose after injuring myself playing hockey a couple of weeks ago.
