You know the rules. You don't post a title like that without a picture.

There, Picasso's "Nude Descending A Staicase" should cover you. :-)

According to Vanity Fair, the photo was taken at the magazine's annual dinner for the Tribeca Film Festival, and Plame's and Wilson's fellow guests included Robert deNiro, Nicole Kidman, Barry Diller, Willem Dafoe, John McEnroe, and many others. Plame's and Wilson's photo appears below a shot of David Bowie and Sean "P. Diddy" Combs.

I'm curious as to what significance a former low level diplomat and his former CIA wife have with a film festival or the entertainment industry in general?

I guess I'm hopeless when it comes to understanding the celebrity culture.

Oh, they were going to be the instruments to bring down the Bush administration, doncha know.

This made them attractive to the libs---maybe screenplays ala "All the President's Men" were already being crafted.

LOL

I'll say it again: Joe Wilson fancies himself to be James Angleton, but he doesn't have the class OR the breeding.

The serious liberal bloggers (meaning the ones that aren't complete loons) like Josh Marshall started laying off the Plame nonsense after that VF spread. It became glaringly obvious to everyone but the idiots at the NY Times that Joe Wilson was a seeker of fame first and foremost.

....and is the leaker of his wife's name to the media idiots who would rather go to jail than expose this canard.

What #42 said, and Bush Derangement Syndrome sufferer extraordinaire and brain-dead fop Graydon Carter was leading the pack. Hence all the attention in the now unreadable Vanity Fair. VF slobbered all over Richard Clarke too, right before the 9-11 Commission outed him as a liar.

LOL. Probably a more hazardous assignment than she ever had with the Agency where I'd guess her role was picking up gossip from spouses at Embassy parties.

Only because the source said it was ok to reveal...

If you want to believe that. I am well aware that's what he said, but you do know he has more than one source, right?

Cooper caved before in the face of jail and I correctly predicted he would buckle again (and for this I'm pleased).

Intriguing tidbit today from sources close to Plame leak investigation

CLICK HERE for new WA Post article.

Summary:

Fitzgerald may learn more details from Cooper's notes. Sources close to the investigation say there is evidence in some instances that some reporters may have told government officials -- not the other way around -- that Wilson was married to Plame, a CIA employee.

in order to deal with the genuine concern that some wacko on the street might easily identify her,"

of course, there was no reason to worry that HE, joe wilson, the squealer, would be identified by some wacko on the street. how much sense does THAT make, considering that supposedly the super sleuth valerie plame who shuns the camera did NOTHING to warrant public attention other than to be married to HIM, THE SQUEALER.

"My wife has made it very clear that -- she has authorized me to say this -- she would rather chop off her right arm than say anything to the press and she will not allow herself to be photographed," he declared in October on "Meet the Press."

Judge Hogan noted that "the government's focus has shifted as it has acquired additional information during the course of the investigation" and "now needs to pursue different avenues in order to complete its investigation."



Wilson's publisher, Carroll & Graf, retained Russ Hoyle -- an investigative reporter who has been a senior editor at the New York Daily News, Time magazine, and the New Republic - to do what it might be inappropriate for Wilson himself to do: look into the government's investigation of the leak of his wife's identity.

Hoyle's report - included in the paperback edition of the book - notes that "There is little question that the investigation of the White House leaks is now hostage to Fitzgerald's campaign to force Cooper and Miller to testify."

Hoyle writes that Washington Post reporter Walter "Pincus, for example, reportedly confirmed the time, date, and length of his conversation with a source…, but Pincus would not reveal his or her identity."

Hoyle continues, "That lent credence to reports that Fitzgerald had subpoenaed records of every contact that White House personnel had had with reporters during the period in question and was engaged in a meticulous search to match such times and dates with records of meetings and telephone calls between reporters and Bush officials gleaned from calendars and telephone logs."
