Let's consider sites like Free Republic the proverbial stoning.

We must throw harder, and do more damage.

This is all well and good, But if Wilson is still pushing his lies, the Chairman should call him back before the committee and force him to testify, again.

Hay! I have an idea! Since the stupid lefties (Hullo, Mr. Gere!), love the mooselimbs so much, let's just send some jihadists to befriend the media, and they will take care of them!

Yes, the sword that MSM wields is indeed massive, but not for long, I hope. That is the whole purpose of this jihad against Karl Rove, to force the Whitehouse to shut down the investigation into the Plame affair.

The NYT, the WA PO and thirty some other major newspaper filed papers with the court, asking that the investigation be shut down because it was apparent that no law was broken. When their request was turned down, the NYT issued a fatwah against Karl Rove, with purely unsubstantiated accusations that the NYT knows are false. Why, you may ask would a major news paper print obviously false information? The answer is that they are fighting for their lives. They have a major scandal on their hands that will bring down the NYT to the level of the National Enquirer.

Just as the paper was getting over the Jayson Blair embarrassment, another of their reporters became embroiled in a scandal involving a leak from the CIA and a tip to a terrorist supporting Muslim organization that allowed them to flee and shred all documents, hours before a raid by the HSA. Now, it turns out that this same reporter has been talking to a target of the investigation in another issue, involving leaks from the CIA, the Valerie Plame case.

The prosecutor has stated that he is interested in talking to Miller (Cooper as well) about conversations that she had with the source on subjects other than Plame's identity. So, if Miller talked to the Grand Jury, she might be potentially forced to claim self incrimination for obstruction of justice. It is no coincidence that the same prosecutor was appointed to investigate both cases.

Is Pat Roberts scheduled for the Sunday morning talk show circuit?

Interesting. This answers the "What is Judith Miller hiding" question. Do you have links to this story--I'm interested in reading more.

Have to say I agree, but I was trying to be a little more subtle, so as to avoid the bannie. You know, no calls for violence, yada, yada, yada.

You are free to call for violence by stoning or a shot through the head with a 44 Bulldog ONLY if you are a liberal democrat, AND you are calling for violence against a Republican.

Any calls for "violence" against democrats is a crime, especially if you say something so extreme as "...so and so should be tried for treason and hung by the neck until dead...". The mere fact you are calling for a legal remedy does not protect you when you make such statements about a democrat.

I'd love to have a copy of Roberts' remarks on the floor of the Senate yesterday.

Holy crap, he burned him a new one! He said that there was no need for anybody to try to ruin Wilson's credibility because Wilson had already done that himself.

Which story, the security leak about the HSA raid on the Muslim support organization, that has ties to the Rock Creek Investments that Wilson worked for?

Shoot, I was only referring to the FR rules.

If I were out in the worldy-world, there'd have to be an investigation launched if I just sneezed on a demonrat!

June Of 2003, Wilson Told The Washington Post “The Niger Intelligence Was Based On Documents That Had Clearly Been Forged Because ‘The Dates Were Wrong And The Names Were Wrong.’” (Susan Schmidt, “Plame’s Input Is Cited On Niger Mission,” The Washington Post, 7/10/04)

However, “The [Senate Select Committee On Intelligence] Report … Said Wilson Provided Misleading Information To The Washington Post Last June [12th, 2003].” (Susan Schmidt, “Plame’s Input Is Cited On Niger Mission,” The Washington Post, 7/10/04)

Senate Select Committee On Intelligence Unanimous Report: “The Former Ambassador Said That He May Have ‘Misspoken’ To The Reporter When He Said He Concluded The Documents Were ‘Forged.’” (Senate Select Committee On Intelligence, “Report On The U.S. Intelligence Community’s Prewar Assessments On Iraq,” 7/7/04)

Could minor Ambassador Joe Wilson himself have been the source in blowing his own Wife's cover?

It is distinctly possible, (though it may be unlikely that Joe Wilson himself directly was NY Times Judith Miller's source), since Joe Wilson himself evidently routinely bragged openly to strangers about her CIA employment, prior to such "cover" being "blown" in the press.

Here's an example of Joe's apparently routine and open bragging about Valerie being a "CIA agent," which became known directly to me over a year ago:

He certainly bragged about it per a famous and highly reliable source's (named below) account of his own face-to-face encounter with Amb. Joe Wilson prior to Valerie Plame's "outing" as a CIA agent/employee.

Based upon a personal conversation (we were in a small group eating; it was NOT an "off the record") I had with eminent historian Victor Davis Hanson (we were at a luncheon table together during a trip to Europe), it appeared entirely possible that Joe Wilson himself was the (or one source, if not the original one) possible source in revealing his own wife's status as a CIA agent or employee.

Victor Davis Hanson (Wilson presumably knew Victor Davis Hanson wrote regularly for NRO (National Review Online), had done OpEds for the Wall street Journal, and other publications, and had his own Website with a widespread following) said he (VDH) & Joe Wilson were both in the same "Green Room" before a televised debate-discussion on Iraq, etc. and Joe first warned the TV make-up person not to get powder on his $14,000 Rolex watch, then he bragged to Victor about several things (possessions and trips to Aspen, etc.), like his expensive car (I think it was a Mercedes), and then bragged about his beautiful ("hot") wife who, Joe Wilson said (braggingly) was a CIA operative.

I asked Victor Davis Hanson Why he didn't write up this account.(?) He replied that Joe Wilson would probably simply deny it, since only he (VDH) & Joe Wilson were in the Green Room together before the broadcast.

However, it is now easy to surmise that Joe Wilson is a crass, materialistic, self-promoting, vain, egotistical, bragaddocio-opportunist, so this account is perfectly consistent with Valerie Plame's TWO photo shoots in Vanity Fair. (Or was it Vogue? No, probably too crass for Vogue, n'est pas?)
