I don't get it. Wilson is rabidly anti-Bush. This makes everything he does very suspect to begin with. He claimed to have "investigated" the yellowcake report in Africa when he actually did no such thing, according to the Africans themselves. He said his wife's identity was leaked when half of social Washington already knew exactly who she was.

Why the investigation? Where's the scandal? I am amazed after 8 years of legitimate abuse of power, obstruction of justice and scandals, that the press is consumed with (1) Panties on Iraqi heads as "torture", and (2) The non-Leak of an Overt Covert Agent.

You know perfectly well why the press is consumed with such matters; this is a Republican administration. When Clinton was awash in perjury and corruption, they couldn't spell s-c-a-n-d-a-l if you spotted them the s,c,n,d and l.

The CIA, I believe, asked for the investigation-- meaning they were upset about it. Ask Tenet "Why the investigation? Where's the scandal?" Plame had two jobs. One was her job which everyone could google. The other was the covert one. She'd go to these foreign countries as Plame the straight-laced bureaucrat. She'd become Plame the black operations agent when no one was looking. Her black op cover was blown by someone at the WH. That pissed Tenet off.
