"What do you make of those accusations, which are serious accusations, as you know, that have been leveled against you.

WILSON: My wife was not a clandestine officer the day that Bob Novak blew her identity.

BLITZER: But she hadn't been a clandestine officer for some time before that?

WILSON: That's not anything that I can talk about. And, indeed, I'll go back to what I said earlier, the CIA believed that a possible crime had been committed, and that's why they referred it to the Justice Department.

She was not a clandestine officer at the time that that article in Vanity Fair appeared. And I have every right to have the American public know who I am and not to have myself defined by those who would write the sorts of things that are coming out, being spewed out of the mouths of the RNC... "

What's new NY Slimes? Any MSM or Print Media that claims she was a "covert" agent at the time of the Novak article is a bold face liar and they know it.

Strange

NYT just vindicated Rove. The spin they put on it is understandable. It had to kill them to do this.

By doing so, they have also exposed Wilson for the lyin' POS he is. Rove DID NOT leak this. Rove did not shop this story around.

Rove was contacted by 2 reporters.

I am cynical. What does the NYT know or what have they learned? Is Joe going down? Wilson had his flaming presser today with Chuckie trying to castrate Rove. And the story come out the same evening.

Just when the "Kill Rove" chorus are at their loudest, the Times vindicates him.

I did not see it, but it was posted that Brit Hume and Fred Barnes were of the opinion this story would take a major turn soon.

Woodward was warning the rabid pack to back off.

Something is in the air.

WILSON: My wife was not a clandestine officer the day that Bob Novak blew her identity.

Joe Wilson has plenty of explaining to do himself. I don't think anyone was out to 'smear' Wilson, but I do think Wilson had an ulterior motive in wanting to 'smear' the Bush Administration and attempting to bring about the downfall of GWB. In this excerpt from the Vanity Fair article, Wilson was milking the story of her being exposed for all it was worth. He knew she was not a covert agent and yet he gave the impression she was with this type action: At the Nation award lunch Wilson wept openly on the podium as he looked his wife straight in the eye and declared, "If I could give you back your anonymity ... " He swallowed, unable to speak for a few seconds. "You are the most wonderful person I know. And I'm sorry this has been brought on you." Valerie Plame also teared up. The room was electrified. Moments later Wilson recovered. He concluded his remarks with the climax everyone had been waiting for. "Let me introduce you to my wife, Valerie," he said. I am so sick of hearing about her being exposed to danger etc. because someone identified her...she told Wilson on their third or fourth date who she was and what she did. She wasn't too concerned about keeping her identity a secret since she revealed it to her date who just happened to be a married man!!

I think it's time the Democrats were exposed for the liars they are, and the Wilson's repay the government for his trip to Niger which was set up by his wife!
