"In written statements", they made no reference to the source, blah blah blah. Maybe the problem is in this reporter's story.
Think about it. All this says is that in their written statements they made no reference. It doesn't say that there's no spoken reference to it or that it isn't all over the media.
The real key is the assertion that the Prosecutor assured her of narrow Grand Jury questions, so she would not have to reveal her "other sources". That is the key thing that indicates there are others involved who have not given waivers. Like, we speculate, Joe Wilson, Valerie Plame, Miller herself, etc.? By the way, we don't know if the Prosecutor caved because he could have other ways to get at the truth here.
Of course we want Wilson and the conspiracy to "get theirs". But if this thing ends without Rove or other high admin. officials being indicted for anything, and there is a report not too unfavorable to them, then the Dems and Media have fired off a bunch of BLANKS.
It would be a wash, in the public mind, whereas the Dems wanted it to destroy an administration.
The DEMs and media falsely charged Rove and others in a media blitz. That is hardly "firing blanks," just because the projectiles don't hit the targets directly.
It would be a wash, in the public mind, whereas the Dems wanted it to destroy an administration.
This story, as with the forged TANG memos, "the crowd booed an Bush did nothing," Sheehan, the performance of Louisian disaster relief, and many many others, will be dropped into the memory hole to make room for the next lie.
The real "story" is the chronic lie - and you are right, to the public, it is "a wash."
" The real key is the assertion that the Prosecutor assured her of narrow Grand Jury questions, so she would not have to reveal her "other sources". That is the key thing that indicates there are others involved who have not given waivers. "
Good point.
I know it won't surprise you ,but, from the snippets of coverage I have been able to catch so far today- no one else is making this point.
Instead, the liberal media is measuring Libby and Cheney for orange jumpsuits.
