Could Judy Miller Have Been the White House’s Source?

C'mon guys... Keep up the pressure.

This is getting ready to blow up in the Dems faces. I can smell it.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

I agree. I get the feeling that Rove is like a cat toying with the mouse just waiting until it thinks it gonna get a way and then...WHAM! IMO of course.

[SittinYonder]

I believe it was the Beltway Boys, maybe O'Reilly, where a letter writer first offered this opinion. If Huffington is making sense, your "sense-o-meter" may need recalibrating.

Funny how the Rove/Plame story has sort of fizzed out in the hourly MSM newscasts. For many weeks, it was the lead story of every broadcast. Now, as it looks more like Plame or Wilson 'outed' themselves, the story... has... just... sort of... faded....... away.

Kate O'Bierne of NRO broached this topic on MTP yesterday when they finished with a round-table discussion...while she did not come out and say it was Miller she alluded to believing the source was NOT a WH administration official....her contention was, unlike blowjob bills administration and the Starr investigation, this WH is fully cooperating with SP Fitzgerald because they have nothing to hide..the rest of the MTP crew, including two from the Wa ComPost, were appalled!

And let's be serious, if the Slimes was not hiding something, or, better said, if they had something to implicate the President or one of his men, Judith Miller would be singing like a canary!!

I still think the source for all Miller knew was Plane. She was at the WMD desk and Miller wrote about WMDs, getting info from an inside source. Add to the "there were no WMDs" while the CIA said there were, Wilson's no yellow cake, and you get a very interesting set of connections with Plane in the center.

[nuffsenuff]

Bingo.

[OldFriend]

Problem is that no matter who said that Wilson's wife recommended him for the mission to Niger, NO CRIME was committed.

[JarheadFromFlorida]

There once was a CIA agent named Plame
Who thought nobody knew her name
Her husband named Joe, said the neighbors did know
So Karl Rove in the whitehouse was to blame.

[MNJohnnie]

Here's a sentence I never thought I'd write: Arianna Huffington has a point.

Yes and her hair covers it well.

[oolatec]

No... no crime was committed... and when this goes back to the press, or Wilson/Plame themselves, everyone will blatantly see that it's just a witchhunt to get back at Rove. Pure and simple.

[InvisibleChurch]

and with all this, miller sits in jails and says "duh"

[BoBToMatoE]

Love that name.. I need to start using it. Hope you dont mind me doing that. It has so many truthful meanings. :)

the thing about the cat batting the mouse, when the mouse dies, the cat may or may not bite off the head and will leave the carcass to rot.

[Always Right]

Does anybody care that this two-face political hack Valerie Plume who doesn't give a rats ass about US security was outed. This has to be the biggest non-story of the century, discounting Whoraldo's uncovering Al Capone's treasure.

[God luvs America]

please...be my guest....

[geezerwheezer]

I don't count on that ever happening. Convince me the MSM will admit they were after the wrong story/person (CIA/Rove)as getting them to admit error on their part is impossible. I do not think we will get the correct story in the MSM, but it will be in our blogs, etc. I believe things I read here in the Free Republic long before anything I get in the NY Times or Washington Post. It is usually a few days ahead of whatever those clowns are working on anyway, and by the time I read their lies, I already know the truth.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

It's the microwave mentality of the MSM.

[stylin19a]

heck...Freepers were all over this from the get-go.
