I hope I excerpted that enough. The media's going to jump all over this today. It will be 'what did Bush 'admit to' at his 9/11 hearing and who in his admin leaked Plame's name.

The political pimp...
the asinine ambassador...

[justshutupandtakeit]

My prediction is that the reading public will greet this PoS's PoS with a dramatic yawn in contrast to the RATmedia fawn.

[Phantom Lord]

How many different people has he claimed was the source for the leak of his wifes name?

[MamaLucci]

So the book that was supposed to answer the burning
question of "who outed Valerie Plame", doesn't.
Why would anyone buy this book?

Wanna bet? This guy's 15 minutes is over.

He better be careful who he slanders.

[wildbill]

Who was responsible for bringing the head of CIA OPs division to the 9/11 commission for a public outing.

This is the first time in history that this was done. The man can no longer go overseas since his picture has been in the paper.

Anyone know how to bring this to the attention of Robert Novak? The Justice Dept? The FBI?

[soozla]

Wilson should be throttled with the fan belt on his own Jag-U-Ar...isn't he the sharpie that insisted that Karl Rove be "frogmarched out of the WH in cuffs"?????? What an idiot!

[ISonnet]

I doubt this or any of the other books in the Bash Bush parade are going to change anyone's mind. Those who hate the president did before and still will.

Those who don't and either like him or at least think he's doing the best he can under the circumstances will yawn again.

They make the authors money, which is fine, and give the cable shows something to talk about.

As far as I'm concerned, whenther he lurches to the left or to the right, Kerry is still Lurch!

[Grampa Dave]

This another lie, myth, fable or son of deep throat being pushed by the Compost.

The vile left wing critter responsible for this entire mess was the creative boss of the Main Plame, Alan Foley!

He has resigned/retired from the CIA after this mess blew up.

If the Compost was a real newspaper instead of a tool of the DNC, they would be all over Foley like a Rat Terrier. Instead they are acting like al Querry's French Poodle.

Head of CIA Weapons Analysis Program Leaving
Reuters ^ | 09-10-03

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A top CIA expert on weapons of mass destruction, who became embroiled in controversy over whether the White House stretched evidence about Iraq's programs, said he planned to leave the agency in October.

Alan Foley, who heads the Weapons Intelligence, Nonproliferation, and Arms Control Center, told colleagues in a note dated Aug. 29 that he had been "thinking about life after the agency for some time" and decided to leave after 26 years to enter the private sector.

He alluded to this summer's finger-pointing between the Central Intelligence Agency and the White House over who was responsible for an unsubstantiated claim in President Bush's State of the Union address in January that Iraq had sought uranium from Africa.

Critics seized on the reference, later found to have been partly based on forged documents, as a sign the White House had exaggerated the threat from Iraq to build support for the war.

"While I can't prevent the inevitable speculation that will be generated by the timing of my decision, I want you to know that this is something that I decided entirely on my own," Foley said in the note, obtained by Reuters on Wednesday.

"I can't deny that the pressures of the past few months have not weighed heavily in my mind, but there are many other aspects to my decision, not the least of which is that I'm intrigued by the prospect of trying my hand at a second career in the private sector," he said.

U.S. officials have said White House National Security Council weapons expert Bob Joseph discussed the uranium line with Foley, but there were differing recollections about who said what.

In one version, Joseph asked CIA's Foley if it was OK to use the uranium line in the speech and cite the British as the source, and that the CIA approved that language.

In another version, Foley told the White House's Joseph the CIA had recommended the British not include the claim in their September 2002 dossier on Iraq but the British included it anyway, citing intelligence that the Americans did not have.

[OldFriend]

LOLOLOL........possibly, or, on the other hand, maybe, might be......

Who wrote this book, J f'n Kerry?

[McGruff]

Chrissy Mathews has been on a Jihad against Scooter Libby for a long time now. He starts foaming at the mouth every time he mentions the name like this guys is more evil than Karl Rove.

[1Old Pro]

I know who leaked it. It was Joe Wilson himself with an anonymous e-mail. He sent it to a right leaning reporter, Novak, to cover his trail.

Now, he and his wife can afford a new Jaguar because with his book their combined salaries just went from $150,000 to $1,500,000.

[Reo]

Ah, Yes. For 15 Minutes of Fame Came Same Plame Name Blame Game . Shame!

[cyncooper]

"'The workup on me that turned up the information on Valerie was shared with Karl Rove, who then circulated it in administration and neoconservative circles," Wilson alleges."

Sure it was, Joe. Just like you claimed your trip to Niger was briefed to the VP, right?

Wrong:

Text of CIA Director George Tenet's statement

Excerpt:

Because this report, in our view, did not resolve whether Iraq was or was not seeking uranium from abroad, it was given a normal and wide distribution, but we did not brief it to the President, Vice-President or other senior Administration officials.

~snip~

How does Wilson even know there was a "workup", let alone who it was shared with?

Actually, I hope there was one, as surely he knows his anti-war screeds printed in the likes of The Nation caught the eye of someone--as well they should have.

We freepers knew long ago that the claims his book would "reveal" the "leaker" of his idiotic wife's name was so much BS. Once again, we were correct. This man is such a vile fool.

[Just mythoughts]

Gee, I sure hope "JOE WILSON" has identified who it was that sent him "yellowcake" hunting in the first place!!!!!

That is the real story and I do hope we finally learn that bit of info, maybe it was Richard Clarke who put his name in the hat and maybe it was Richard Clarke who told Novak about his wife!!!

[CobaltBlue]

This guy is such a loser. Why promote his BS book, and the rest of his BS? He's had his 15 minutes of fame, forget him.

[dennisw]

I thought this clown's 15 minutes of fame were over and done... same for his "undercover" wife. How many copies will this really sell? Few in my opinion.

[decimon]

Was Scooter the Leaker?

"Holy cow, this huckleberry is a spy!"

[AmishDude]

This paranoid freak makes up names out of whole cloth and people just print it. Well, WaPost, print this name for the Plame leaker: Richard Clarke.

[hgro]

This moron Wilson,if he is an example of people in our foreign service, sends chills up and down my spine. An obvious opportunist. He has a ditzy wife who plays secret agent (despoiling the C.I.A. in the process) who couldn't find her butt with both hands. People like her should be exposed. This myth that exposing incompetance in any government agency is a no no is laughable.
