The Washington Post headlined it as : "
Ashcroft Recused ",which is a fairly blatant way of suggesting Ashcroft was somehow
compelled to step aside.
One should not be too surprised, I suppose, at an intensely partisan newspaper trying to turn an ethically correct move into something sinister.
It is also amazing to see Wilson on TV,claiming his wife had a "covert" job. She didn't. She was an Analyst,who worked at a desk alongside hundreds of others with similar low-to-medium-level employees.
I have thought the CIA had been castrated when the Thing and the Things wife took control. Their group in the 60's hated the CIA and would do anything to destroy it. Having mediocre people there is just as effective as a spy. Re:911.
It is also amazing to see Wilson on TV,claiming his wife had a "covert" job. She didn't. She was an Analyst,who worked at a desk alongside hundreds of others with similar low-to-medium-level employees. That seems to be the main thing at issue. Some accounts I've read claim her "analyst" job is just cover for her real spy job. This thing has Set-Up painted all over it, but the Usual Suspects hope to turn it into a new Watergate.
