Rove leak is just part of larger scandal (NPR spinning like a top)

Daniel, I'm ashamed of you for leaving out the part about Wilson lying through his teeth!

[Dr.Hilarious]

Let me remind you that the underlying issue in the Karl Rove controversy is not a leak, but a war and how America was misled into that war.

LOL!

He might as well have written "OK, so Rove isn't guily, BUT..."

[Pukin Dog]

Well, it looks like they are getting an early start. lol.

[Steven W.]

it is part of a larger scandal - one in which the media LIE and SPIN at every turn

[Dr.Hilarious]

Mr. Wilson spent eight days talking to everyone in Niger possibly involved

He did? and came back to report no sign of an Iraqi bid for uranium

Funny, he told CNN he didn't disprove the claims. He didn't even have a written report.

David Gregory is subbing for Chrissy Matthews on Hardball, virtually crying because his guests won't take his bait accusing Rove of breaking the law. It's really funny!

[mcshot]

At a recent music festival a couple performers complained about "Bush Administration" cuts in public radio. I really hate when they interject politics. And I think NPR funds should be abolished.
EOR

"Daniel, I'm ashamed of you for leaving out the part about Wilson lying through his teeth!"

He's talkin' to his people. He's not out to spread the truth, just disease.

[Types_with_Fist]

Wow. That's a well-informed "birdie."

[MinuteGal]

Is the new Republican head of NPR on board yet?

I thought things were going to be changed....like actually giving both sides of an issue.

Daniel Snore is one of the biggest and deadliest liberal propagandists in the U.S. of A.........actually, in the entire solar system.

Quit watching Chrissy a long time ago although I get an occasional update when Rush takes him to the woodshed.

[colorado tanker]

What a pantload.

[grondram]

In 2002 President Bush, having decided to invade Iraq, was casting about for a casus belli

I wonder who their audience is when they use Latin but don't explain what it means.

[Pukin Dog]

Very.

[Arkie2]

Read your editorial earlier and it makes sense. Next week should be interesting. The Sunday talk programs will be nothing but Plame and Rove.

[operation clinton cleanup]

Let me remind you that the underlying issue in the Karl Rove controversy is not a leak, but a war and how America was misled into that war.

Let me remind you Danny, NPR is paid for by taxpayers, not the DNC.

[Shermy]

"Ignoring Wilson's report"

Does he mean the one that some thought lent more credence to an Iraq Niger connection?

[speedy]

I am sorry to learn that Daniel Schoor is still alive. Seems like 30 years ago that CBS had to fire him, and he was old then.

[zencat]

Daniel Schorr is one Metamucil short of something. . .

[syriacus]

Finally Wilson directly challenged the administration with a July 6, 2003 New York Times op-ed headlined, "What I didn't find in Africa," and making clear his belief that the president deliberately manipulated intelligence in order to justify an invasion.

I, too, think this is bigger in scope than just Wilson v. Rove.

I wonder if Wilson deliberately lied in his op-ed piece, hoping the Bush Administration would care enough about his lies to use their own facts to contradict him.

Then, working with the Administration's facts, the Wilsons and their shady "friends" could try to determine the identities of foreign, pro-US spies.

I think they'd like to neutralize the influence of any undercover folks who agree with Bush.
