hanks. I am but a humble striver! :-)
I'll tell you another fundamental question that has not been addressed: What role did someone at the CIA have in all this?
The CIA was responsible (perhaps under prodding by press?)for filing a criminal complaint under the 1982 law. From everything available so far, it's pretty clear that Plame was merely on NOC status because noone bothered to change it. She was working at a desk and hadn't been involved in covert ops overseas for six years while she began the "mommy track."
No worry, most people just buy the comical to get the coupons.
Do they pay NOC's extra for the increased risk of the duties?
As an aside let me say in light of Wilson's rather questionable personal business dealings and qualifications for going to Niger on behalf of the CIA in the first place, along with the fact that he never filed an official report upon his return, there is the distinct possibility that he could be guilty of much more than simply obstructing justice or perjuring himself. Links to individuals involved with the Oil for Food Scandal along with suspect uranium dealings could very well be much bigger fish to fry.
Perhaps Mrs. Matt Cooper, aka dem operative Mandy Grunwald? Washington seems to be a very close circle of friends.
A little known fact. This means that anyone who worked in the White House gave journalists permission to publicly out them as sources on the Plame deal. That means Rove was not a source or they would have outed him at his request.
The only source could be someone who did not work at the White House. It's obviously Wilson who outted his own wife.
We'll find out what kind of a special prosecutor this is.
Is he fair or is he a politcal hack?
The very idea that Wilson's lawyer tried to make it look like Rove had just released him from any confidentiality, when he had it all along (a blanket one according to your report and again when the investigation began and then a reminder to Wilson's lawyer after the judge's ruling) is all one has to know.
They needed to smear Rove, Bush and the Administration and the facts were in the way.
I hear he's fair and tough. I don't know that Ashcroft appointe him as SP.
I screwed that post all up. What I meant was I've heard he's fair and tough. And he was appointed special prosecutor by John Ashcroft.
The fact that the msm is bending over backward to tell me how fair he is (you were very even handed), makes me question his position.
We hand things to our enemies and they never give up anything unless forced to.
You're right. I recall how fair Kenneth Starr was when he first took over that investigation. Then the MSM got it's marching orders for Klinton and that was that.
Exactly.
And march they did.
And then there's this .. just hilarious ..
"AMBASSADOR WILSON: Well, I know Tariq Aziz, of course. And what I can say is that it may be in fact true that Saddam Hussein is in charge, but not because Tariq Aziz has said so. Tariq Aziz is very articulate and very erudite, but the bottom line on him from my perspective is, would you buy a used car from that man? And I wouldn't. He has lied to me on many occasions on issues pertaining to the lives and the welfare of American citizens being held hostage in Iraq during the Gulf War, and also just being forbidden from traveling outside of the war zone at that time.
So, I don't trust a thing that Tariq Aziz has to say."

"AMBASSADOR WILSON: Well, this is actually one area where I might believe Tariq Aziz, because he told me quite emphatically in 1988-89, in a meeting dealing with the Iran-Iraq War, that the Iraqis reserve the right to use every weapon and any weapon in their arsenal when they were invaded. Now, they clearly are calling the American action, the coalition action, an invasion. And when he says they reserve the right to use every weapon in their arsenal, I assume that to mean chemical and biological weapons, if they have them and can use them. So, our military planners ought to be anticipating that they will, if they can, use chemical weapons and/or biological weapons."

They could sell this as a new reality show ... "Fun With Joe + Val, The Spies Next Door."
