Thank God Gore invented the internet.

Yes, tis wonderful, ....chasing around on too many links to remember , let me throw this (from SLATE )into the mix regarding the famous 16 words in the state of the union speech, not quite sure where it fits though:

Is Libby the Phantom Bigfoot?
An exclusive report from Slate's guesswork unit

It's probably only a matter of seconds before we find out which White House official insisted that the fateful yellowcake reference be inserted into the State of the Union address. We now know for certain somebody did because Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., blabbed on Good Morning, America that CIA Director George Tenet dropped a dime on him (or her) in yesterday's closed-to-the-public hearing of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Hypocritically, Durbin refuses to say who it was, lest he violate the committee mandate for secrecy. Presumably one of the committee's other Democrats—Rockefeller, Levin, Feinstein, Wyden, Bayh, Edwards, or Mikulski—is even now whispering the name into the ear of an appreciative reporter. Or (more likely) a Senate aide is doing so. After all, there is no national-security rationale for keeping secret the identity of the Phantom Bigfoot. Nevertheless, the White House, unsurprisingly, isn't talking.

There are so many twists in this story. It'll be real interesting when it all hits, and I think the media will not be able to ignore the final outcome since they're making such a huge stink about it.
