Sure does sound like somebody is getting lined up for a treason trial.

Helen Thomas is probably not too old to take to court ~ no doubt she had some bad stuff to say about Pinochet.

Cooper confirmed that Rover never mentioned Plame’s name...

I knew that.

The libs are obsessed with Gannon and in typical fashion can't intelligently refute what he says, so they immediately go for the personal stuff.

Irony point taken.

I hope Valerie Plame and Joseph Wilson have a good pair of boots. They're going to need them!

Have you ever listened to Ed Schultz? What a putz. He tries so hard to be the left's Rush that it's almost to funny to listen too. I usually turn it off after a few minutes or as soon as I start to feel like throwing up.

Many of the worst of the leftists don't understand that a lot of decent people are/will say "So what?" even if they "prove" this thing. Like Iran-Contra. Like the putative SR-71 ride and "October Surprise." The people the left are trying to pillory are on the whole much better people with a much shorter rap sheet of dishonesty and criminality...

Plame’s specialty was weapons of mass destruction proliferation, yet little of the information the agency possessed turned out to be accurate in terms of Iraq.

She either lied about the weapons, "It's a slam dunk" or was part of the Oil-for-Suicide-Bombers scam. Probably both. Want to bet Wilson has a Swiss bank account with some of Saddam's money in it ?

I think a lot of the reporter rancor is over the lady in jail. They feel it is unjust for her to be in jail when others aren't.

If there is no indictment of Rove - and there shouldn't be - he'll be bigger than ever. Libs will consume themselves with rage.

Or she was every bit as incompetent as her husband. They deserve each other.

I don't get a station with him on it---but I remember when Air America was just in the talking stages, he was mentioned as one of the main talk show hosts, so a lot of the cable shows had him on...

you are right...he is awful.

Jerry Springer just started on AA---he is as bad as Al Franken and Janene Garafalo...

Trust me guys---I don't "listen" to it---I kinda slide by to see what crapola they are spewing then I run out!

I have read some articles (like David Horowitz') that pretty much say that Plame/Wilson DID use the CIA as a dem political wing and that is why she suggested him to go to Niger...

The other Plame-Wilson security problem is that Wilson referred to the forged documents on Niger uranium deals in his book. But HOW did he know about those documents? They were only presented about four months AFTER Wilson came back from Niger.

By that time, Wilson was NOT on the CIA payroll and had no right to see those documents, whether or not they were forgeries. But his wife, Valerie Plame, would CERTAINLY see those documents because her portfolio was Nuclear Proliferation. Did she give secret CIA documents to her husband to help him attack Bush? Inquiring minds want to know.

Way off subject but:

I just walked out of Santorums Office in Harrisburg, PA. I heard this, "We have an acceptable nomination for the Court".

No clue who it might be. Watch the news tomorrow.

Didn't want to start a thread just for this but found it interisting. I now return you to your normal subject.

Clearly, Plame was part of the element within the CIA that actively worked against the Bush administration. The available evidence shows that it is likely she suggested her husband for the mission so that the agency would be assured of the anti-Bush results.

Interesting. Porter Goss still has a lot of work to do, cleaning house.

I read an interesting article today is by Jack Kelly, who theorizes that all roads lead to the Wilson's and the forged Niger documents:

Outing Plame may not have been illegal. What is the prosecutor hunting?
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05198/538809.stm

"What if someone in the CIA was leaking classified information to influence the 2004 election? Uncovering a crime like that would be worthy of Inspector Javert's doggedness.

I suspect the biggest shoe in this case has yet to drop, and liberal journalists won't be happy when it does."
