That must be what he was talking about, I am cautiously optimistic but a bit nervous about the outcome of all this. I really hope this is about cleaning up the subversion at the CIA. Given the agency's failure, not all that surprising from the 1990 budget cuts, I find it very plausible that people were out there "own their own" and with the USofA first and foremost on their minds. Or maybe just plain treason?

It is clear that something is going on over at Langley to shake things up.

I've been hoping to hear from Jeff Gannon on this subject but didn't want to bring his name up because I know that he took significant heat from the left for his part in exposing the CIA memo.
This story all started with Corn, and the article he wrote, but it never went anywhere until after Joe Wilson met with Chris Lehane in May of that year and became an adviser to the Kerry campaign. I have read that it was Lehane that arranged the Vanity Fair article and shopped the story to the media. What do you have to say about that?

The "truth" is the only thing that has been outed. Wilson claimed the Whitehouse sent him on his African mission, he returned triumphantly with the news that Sadam was a wonderful guy who didn't dance on 9/11 and could be trusted.
But the truth is that his wife sent him and he found none of the above to be any more true than "16 words" that according to the democrats if not said by Bush would have changed everything.

There aren't more than a few degrees of separation between liberal activists and the media. Most of the time they are one in the same.
Lehane has a proven record of dirty tricks, sounds reasonable.

Gannon got this info through his back-door channels?
To: ConservativeMajority
Hannity had Plames former boss at the CIA on his show and he said that the CIA inadvertantly outed Plame themselves by allowing the Cubans to read some security message, so there was no way that Plame was considered covert if she had been outed twice before this Niger affair.

Helen Thomas is one of the worst reporters I have ever seen. I have to mute the TV when she starts to open her mouth at the press briefings. Sometimes I think most of the reporters are real a@@es and should have their press passes revoked.

And if he had, that sleazy troll would be screaming about it not being proper to do. (Apologies to trolls, of cpourse.) Exactly! As Mort said on FNC panel tonight, the word "collusion" would then surface. I wish I could be Scott McClellan for just one press conference - that's all I would last, just one. I'd have looked at the old witch and said, "What, you want to then accuse the President of collusion? You must think we're as dumb and ugly as you are!"
To Terry Moran, I'd consistently mispronouce his name as Terry Moron. I'd nail them.

She probably had some bad stuff to say about the Kaiser!

If there is no indictment of Rove - and there shouldn't be - he'll be bigger than ever. Libs will consume themselves with rage. Yeah, they're making Rove a superstar.

exactly what is The INR memo is the only evidence of the plot and the renewed focus on the document may bring this into public view. and is there a link?? Funny how the CIA, which bothced so much intelligence leading up to 9-11, has their panties in a bunch because Poter Goss wants to stop leaks...kind of makes you think what their priorities are...

One of the things I do not like about the democratic party is that it is patronage politics. They filled up the federal government with politicos to the point that it could not even function. I could see it everywhere. Affirmative action hires hooting and hollering in the halls of VA hospitals, cronies on FERC knew nothing about electricity, and now girls posing as spooks. There is one of the latter on c-span promoting her book about how she joined the CIA and then left because she did not like it. Surely, one of the biggest shocks we have faced is the failure of intelligence on 9/11 and WMD in Iraq, and these egomaniacs try to turn that into a chance for spin. I hope Fitzgerald gets them all. We can't have this nonsense.

Here's a theory discussed with family the other night - the person who sent Wilson to Niger was Valerie Plame with whatever credentials needed.
The MSM/Hissy Matthews et al, were to continue with the charade that VP Cheney / or / Scooter Libby from his office sent Wilson. This would effectively be a double blow to the WH. However the truth is out there now that neither man sent Wilson.
Who approved the trip, Ms. Plame?

A couple dealing in stolen government secrets to achieve their own political goals ....
Reminds me of the Rosenbergs.

Wilson denied that Plame pushed him for the job and said that Vice President Dick Cheney asked him to go. An official who works for the State Departments Bureau of Intelligence and Research authored a memo that contradicts both of those assertions Any details on this memo? Date? Authors name? etc.
