what did Plame and Wilson know, and when did they know it.

[Txsleuth]

Jeff Gannon, huh?

This is kinda scary, since I heard last week on everybody's favorite lib station, AirAmerica, that Rove got the information in "pillow talk" with Jeff Gannon....

NOW, out comes Gannon with this article....ewwwwwwwww!The libs are gonna love this!

[pipecorp]

the plame game continues

[ConservativeMajority]

What are you doing listening to Air America and why do you help spread their smears?

[corkoman]

I hope there is no picture rule for Gannon articles

[Shaka]

Bingo.

This what is being investigated, you watch. Wilson and Plame are in deep shit.

[NathanBookman]

I didn't see it, but I read that at the White House press briefing today, Helen Thomas said to another reporter something like "what? are you the new Jeff Gannon". The reporter must have asked a non-Rove question to McClellan. Then she asked McClellan something like "This case has been going on for two years and Bush hasn't asked Rove - What the hell is going on?"

Thanks for posting this. I still would like to know WHO of Plame's Superiors AUTHORIZED Wilson's junket to Africa.

I can accept that I may never learn the "person or group's names"; but some serious repercussions upon those persons should be fully enacted.

[ConservativeMajority]

It sounds like that has already happened or continues to happen.

If Plame and Wilson are allowed to pull of this scam on the American public the dems will view the CIA as they do the courts,a political wing.
They will try to enlist as many as possible at the CIA to be an operative and use their status as a agent(or not)to be an untouchable political assassin.
If no one can challenge them without threat of scandal or indictment they are free to work against the policies of the President without recourse.

And if he had, that sleazy troll would be screaming about it not being proper to do. (Apologies to trolls, of cpourse.)

[ConservativeMajority]

It appears that is not the case. As Rush observed, it's not 1972 and the liberals don't have a monopoly on the media. It looks like Porter Goss is kicking butt over at Langley.

Who is Judith Miller protecting?

Let me be the first to say; drip, drip, drip.......

Excellent article.

I personally believe that someone in "elected" office was involved as well, toooooo much coordination regarding "Niger", "French", "Saddam", and "yellowcake" for the CIA to conjure up this apparent scheme.

[Txsleuth]

I zip by that station during commercials of Rush, Hannity, Tony Snow, Laura Ingraham, that's what I am doing listening to that station...

AND, I find out what idiotic claims the libs are gonna come up with next...isn't it best to know what the other side is thinking?

As far as spreading it, I just thought it was ironic that I would hear that, and see this article by Gannon.

I am of the opinion that the freepers know me well enough, and are sophisticated enough to know that I was just passing on a funny irony.

[TexasCajun]

I just don't know what to make of Jeff "Need a Date?" Gannon?

[NathanBookman]

Here is the exchange between Helen Thomas and Scott McClellan today:

Go ahead.

Q What is his problem? Two years, and he can't call Rove in and find out what the hell is going on? I mean, why is it so difficult to find out the facts? It costs thousands, millions of dollars, two years, it tied up how many lawyers? All he's got to do is call him in.

MR. McCLELLAN: You just heard from the President. He said he doesn't know all the facts. I don't know all the facts.

Q Why?

MR. McCLELLAN: We want to know what the facts are. Because --

Q Why doesn't he ask him?

MR. McCLELLAN: I'll tell you why, because there's an investigation that is continuing at this point, and the appropriate people to handle these issues are the ones who are overseeing that investigation. There is a special prosecutor that has been appointed. And it's important that we let all the facts come out. And then at that point, we'll be glad to talk about it, but we shouldn't be getting into --

Q You talked about it to reporters.

MR. McCLELLAN: We shouldn't be getting into prejudging the outcome.

Go ahead.
