NY TIMES CLAIMS EXCLUSIVE NEW DETAILS OF EVENTS SURROUNDING CIA LEAK, SOURCES TELL DRUDGE... DEVELOPING LATE OUT OF WASHINGTON... MORE...

[Howlin]

Well, if you agree it's not going to happen, why are you pushing that idea?

[SevenMinusOne]

Impeachment is not the goal. Delaying the confirmation of Bush Judges is.

You are probably correct here - Though this will have no impact on judges - It will be old news by mid August -

[Revererdrv]

Smell a rat or monkey in the wood pile. NYT has not been honest yet.

[Hoodat]

This should be interesting. The NYT knows who Miller's source is, yet they are posturing in lockstep with the DNC. If Rove is the source, then their behavior is highly unethical since they are persecuting their source. If Rove is not their source, then they are joining in an attack they know not to be true. And they do this as one of their own sits in jail. Have they no decency?

This is what El Rushbo has been driving at for 4 days now... Pinchy would never throw his own under the bus unless the source was seriously embarassing to the DemO'Libs.

When it became clear that Sandy Burger was being treated so gently by the Bush Administration's Justice Department, I suspected that the Administration might expect an indictment in this case and wants their person to be treated as gently.

I don't think it will happen though. The Republicans always get treated worse because of the media.

[canadiancapitalist]

I agree. Their goal is to push the second and third SC nomination hearings beyond the midterm elections.

Same old NYRag...Get it out there..true or not...
keep the Imus program snowed....besides the gullible
NewYorkers....Hillary snowed them and they are too dumb

[Soul Seeker]

For more than one reason.

1) It won't get past Denny and Delay

2) The administration has done nothing to warrant impeachment.

The Dems can throw a tantrum the next four years and it will only serve to further turn the American people off. If they weren't willing to support Clinton's impeachment with cause, they certainly are not in a mood to support a witchhunt.

Do you know if Gold mines also produce uranium?


After only one year on the job Wilson decided to retire and go into the private sector because "we wanted to have kids, and felt that it had become very difficult to live off two government salaries." He set up a consultancy, J. C. Wilson headquarters of the Rock Creek Corporation AN INVESTMENT FIRM OF WHICH LITTLE IS KNOWN. Willisson's right-wing critics have been quick to condemn the affiliation as "musk," though Wilson does not work for Rock Creek and merely rents space and facilities there.

'I HAVE A NUMBER OF CLIENTS, AND BASICALLY WE HELP THEM WITH THEIR SORT OF INVESTMENTS IN COUNTRIES LIKE NIGER," explains Wilson. "Niger was of some interest because it has some gold deposits coming onstream. WE HAD SOME CLIENTS WHO WERE INTERESTED IN GOLD.... We were looking to set up a gond-mine company out of London."

And oh, seems Wilson was against the war ....

During the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, Wilson had taken a measured public position—viewing weapons of mass destruction as a danger but considering military action as a last resort. He has seemed much more critical of the administration since revealing his role in Niger," Novak observes.

And did I mention both Plames AND her boss sorta thought this uranium thing was well, "objectionable" and how did she say......"crazy"?





Cheney and his chief of staff. Lewis Libby, visited the CIA several times at Langley and told the staff to make more of an effort to find evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and to uncover Iraqi attempts to acquire nuclear capabilities. One of the people who objected most fervently to what he saw as "Intimidation" according to one former CIA case officer, was ALAN FOLEY, then ghd HEAD OF THE WEAPONS INTELLIGENCE, Non-Pfoliferation and Arms Control Center. HE WAS VALERIE PLAME'S BOSS.

The report said Plame told committee staffers that she relayed the CIA's request to her husband, saying, "THERE'S THIS CRAZY REPORT" about a purported deal for Niger to sell uranium to Iraq. The committee found Wilson had made an earlier trip to Niger in 1999 for the CIA, also at his wife's suggestion.

I think so, someone said something about Cooper's sister working with Hill before (maybe when Wilson worked in Clinton administration as ambassador). I couldn't find anything, maybe you can. FYI, did you see the campaign contribution list whereby Plume outed herself by using both names?

[Pukin Dog]

Thats right, because almost no one is confirmed after that, in deference to the 'incoming executive'.

[Dubya-M-Dees]

Don't forget those ohhh so important missing explosives in Iraq.. boy.. right before the election they were soooo important...

/me listens at the crickets singing

[12chachacha]

This must be more President Bush National Guard stuff. Maybe they found his barber.

[mware]

Know this, Fitzgerald is watching. He is ticked off with the NY Times as it is.

[defconw]

Rush is usually right and I have been listening to him for years the other day he was saying soemthing at the exact same time I was thinking it! Rush mind meld?

[SevenMinusOne]

Perhaps Judith Miller has NO source (she simply used herself as the Source...and the NYT went along with it)

[Pharmboy]

For the sake of argument, if they did that what would they gain? We're looking to make more pickups in '06. By then we'll likely have enough real Republicans to break the filibuster without the RINO's.
