Here's another conspiracy theory:
Could it have been, that Plame, working within the CIA during the lead-up to the war in Iraq, was part of a conspiracy in the CIA to supply erroneous information on WMD, knowing full well, that not finding the WMD's once we were in Iraq, would greatly discredit the President? It now seems quite plausible.
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.
WOW!!!
This further explains why Miller refuses to testify that Plame was her "source".
Then how do we explain the statements of Clinton, Kerry, Daschle, etc. who all said that Saddam Hussein had WMDs in the last 1990s?
Jeff Gannon is an incredibly lucid and interesting writer. It is no wonder the dying socialist "mainstream" press went after him the way they did.
I know a lot of us were worried about CIA leaks leading up to and since the War in Iraq started....but I certainly didn't expect it to go this far...
What does Porter Goss do? Everyone is asking Bush if he will keep Rove even if there were no laws broken, if he "just lied"?
Maybe the media should be asking Goss what he will do about Plame-Wilson, even if SHE didn't break the law, can he trust her to continue in Bush's term....after all Joe Wilson is out talking not just about this supposed "outing",
but he is slamming Bush about going into Iraq at all. Therfore, we know he is still crying about the political aspect of going to war---and his wife is of like mind.
Maybe the Bush people need to turn the mics around and ask the CIA if they think it would be better to put Plame on "leave" until this is over, considering what we already know about her husband's lies.
So sorry for no specifics. You really have to watch what questions you ask in there. It is very easy to get the ear. Meaning, they will take your press pass from you if you push on certain issues. Timing is everything and this was not the proper time to bring up the question of "who".
So many possibilities, twist and turns. Just caught a Minute or two of Isakoff on H&C though I was busy putting my baby girl to bed. I thought I heard him say the prosecutor said this was about a criminal retaliation on a whistle blower. Did anyone else catch it? Are reporter allowed in the Grand Jury?
First: They all pretty much recanted that position during the 2004 Election.
Second: As I said, it is plausible and just a theory.
She was on leave for a year and only recently returned to Langley.
She'd be out just by answering questions before a grand jury that is bound to secrecy.
In the alternative, I can live with jailing the other reporters so she has company <g>
Bingo! I think your theory has merit and would make total sense.
If anyone was reading a newspaper during 2003-2004, it was a fact that liberals in the intelligence community were trying to damage the President, his foreign policy AND his re-election.
No wonder Porter Goss did a house cleaning when he got in there last September. Don't ya'll remember the whining from the press about it. Yea, their leakers got the ax.
I think the Whistleblower Protection Act would be as difficult to prosecute as the 1982 statute for exposing a covert agent. It is supposed to protect those who are go public with evidence of criminal activity. Wilson doesn't even come close with his flawed report. The SIC discredited him and his report.
Rush nailed it today. He said the MSM sees this story as one where they think they can earn-back their credibility.
It is also payback for the Time/Koran story where the press thinks the Administration snookered them.
This thing gets weirder on a daily basis.
The liberal left must be hiding something big!
Responsibility for the intelligence failures that culminated in the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 lies squarely on the shoulders of the CIA.
if your going to listen to air america...you should wear condoms in your ears like I do
Also known as the "CIA Insurgency".
Plame declines to answer any questions about her work at the CIA. She also says she won't talk about the scandal that has periodically gripped Washington since her cover as an employee in the Directorate of Operations at the Agency was blown two years ago. What she will say about her life is that “things have been busy—I have five-year-old twins.” She just returned to work at the CIA last month, her husband says, after an eight-month unpaid leave taken at her own request. She goes out to Langley five days a week, he says, but only part-time.
Is that about the same time Porter Goss took over?
