That all makes sense to me.

Boy, would I love to see Plame and Wilson hopping around in orange suits and leg irons!

The person who appointed Joe Wilson to the mission to Niger also appointed Craig Livingston to be the WH security chief..

Has anyone seen that simian, David Corn lately?

[Dems_R_Losers]

Rush said today that Katrina Vanden Heuvel was looking quite haggard yesterday on MSNBC. Perhaps here hubby, Mr. Corn, is in some trouble.

Unfortunately, I do not think this investigation has gone beyond the "leak." I think some unexpected people have shown up being tied to the leak, and an unexpected conspiracy to commit the leak may be suggested by some of the evidence gathered so far; but I think Fitz does not see his job as trying to figure out why The Missus Wilson got her hubby sent to Niger in the first place. That is irrelevant to whether anyone committed a crime by revealing the name of The Missus to reporters. We are not going to get "closure" on how this whole caper went down unless the Administration decides to get to the bottom of it, and it looks like they really don't want to go there. Too many hornets in that nest IMO.

Why and who sent Joe Wilson to Niger? Once this question is answered, I believe the rest of pieces will fit.

I wish I could take a peek at the last page of this mystery.

Is there a chance that Valerie had a covert status - that she was in some kind-of operation we know nothing about?

I mean if she was really covert, would we know?

And yes, yes, I understand she was no-longer-covert, but maybe whe was covert-again.

[rushmom]

That would be just and wonderful. But it's hard to believe there would be no "leaks" at all about those people.

I am listening to the John Batchelor Radio and Eddie Hayes, a democratic from Court TV, who two weeks ago was saying Rove/Libby were in trouble, is now back tracking. He said that Perjury/obstruction over the IIPA no act would not be, he thinks lies over leaks would not be in the interest of a prosecutor. He doesn't think Libby and Rove are the target, but seem to think someone in some capacity at the WH did something. Eli Lake from the NY Sun doesn't think this is about anything.

The thing you have in your favor with this theory is that I hardly think that it would take 2 years to determine if Plame was covert or not and if that in fact is what is being investigated should have been determined first. Now I guess it is possible that if it was determined she was covert the investigation could drag out waiting for Miller to testify. If it was determined she was not Covert then 2 years is way too much time to be trying to set someone up for OoJ or perjury. So it is my opinion that either it has been determined by Fitzgerald that she was Covert or he is investigating something more involved and your theory certainly in that case makes sense. I think it is more likely that the CIA being the 2 faced deceitful leftist organization it has become has created paper saying she was covert and shredded any info to contrary. So I expect Fitxgerald to fall in line with his other other Democrat pals. If he doesn't then he really may the man everybody says he is.

It appears that the CIA under Tenet, attempted to subvert the Government of the United States by manufacturing intelligence and submitting it to the Executive Branch of the United States government.

And this manufactured intelligence, was....?

Why and who sent was Joe Wilson to Niger?

Do I need a decoder ring to make sense of this line?
