NY TIMES CLAIMS EXCLUSIVE NEW DETAILS OF EVENTS SURROUNDING CIA LEAK, SOURCES TELL DRUDGE... DEVELOPING LATE OUT OF WASHINGTON... MORE...
McClellan is the one who screwed up. He should have just said he can't comment on an ongoing investigation for Karl Rove.
Good point. When most people hear "Administration" they think of White House only.
Just occurred that if evil Karl Rove really wanted to put super-spy Valerie "Emma Peel" Plame's life in danger he could have just posted the info on FreeRepublic instead of whispering it to Novak so he could bury it several paragraphs down in a newspaper column. We would have spread it around.
That would be Francisco, an illegal who speaks no English
(Sorry couldn't resist)

Mr. Sanford brings up a most excellent point .......
PHILLIPS: Well, breaking the law or partisan politics, do you think Valerie Plame [Wilson's wife] is now damaged goods?
SANFORD: Well, ... it is worth remembering that when Robert Novak, the columnist, disclosed her identity in his column, he had called the CIA to tell them he was going to do that, and they didn't stop him.
They did not do what the CIA normally does in that situation if they want to protect or continue to protect somebody's identity. ...
They didn't call his syndicate. They didn't scream at him, say you're going to endanger her life or [en]danger her career, that sort of thing. They just sort of shrugged and said, "Well, I guess she won't be getting any more overseas assignments."
I don't think that's the kind of affirmative measures that the agency needs to be taking in order to invoke the statute.
People keep throwing around terms like "Watergate." Problem -- for them -- is we are no longer beholden to MSM for our little piece of daily brainwashing; and thinking people have other places to search out the TRUTH!
Just a question along the lines of "Follow the money":
What if there is no source? A "Jayson Blair" source? If that came out, wouldn't it sink the Times? Wouldn't the Times want her to go to jail (in return for big bucks later) rather than admit there was no source?
I don't think Scooter being a source matters now that it's been well established that Plame wasn't covert.
Except that the wench O'Connor resigned effective upon the confirmation of her replacement, I think intentionally taking this option away from the President. Otherwise, he could recess appoint Bork while waiting for confirmation of Janice Rogers Brown.
Scooter's nonpartisan?
According to the Vanity Fair article it is. Here's what Wilson said, The Wilson's live in the Palisades, an affluent neighborhood of Washington, D.C., on the fringe of Georgetown. In winter, when the trees have no leaves, the back of their house has a stunning view of the Washington Monument. They'd first seen the house in 1998, when it was still being built, and they had instantly fallen in love with it. Even so, Plame took some persuading before they made an offer. "She's very frugal," explains Wilson. "My brother who's in real estate had to fly in from the West Coast and explain that a mortgage could cost less than our rented apartment in the Watergate."
Plame also told Wilson that she'd be moving with him into the new house only as his wife. Records show that Wilson and his second wife, Jacqueline, to whom he was married for 12 years, were divorced in 1998. By the mid-90s, Wilson says, that relationship had pretty much disintegrated. "Separate bedrooms-and I was playing a lot of golf," he says.
He met Plame in February of 1997. You can read the Vanity Fair article here: http://www.jimgilliam.com/2004/01/vanity_fairs_profile_on_joseph_wilson_and_valerie_plame.php

Just now? I've been furious all day -- while I've been laughing at them making fools out of themselves!
I saw two more on Aaron Brown's show tonight -- ones I had not seen.
To me, they always seem to be posing in a JFK-Jackie kind of way.
I do think he fancies them Nick and Nora Charles, a la James Angelton people.
