Powell's former Chief-of-Staff, Wilkerson is his name -- he is someone who bears close watching and scrutiny to figure out whether he is working with VIPS or similar people. He said in his recent speech that he and Powell have had a falling out over his decision to go public with his harsh criticisms of the Bush administration, but I suspect he also may have harsher views (than Powell) against the WH, I don't know what Powell really thinks, though.
Wilkerson's tirade sounded EXACTLY the same themes as Joe Wilson, Larry Johnson, Ray McGovern, et al about a neo-con 'cabal' in the VP's office. Wilkerson has also been a severe critic of John Bolton. Saying this now makes one suspect that Wilkerson is trying to help create a "perfect storm" of outrage if Libby or anyone else in the WH is indicted. One aspect of the Plame affair was a State Dept. memo summarizing items related to Wilson and Plame that was supposedly in Colin Powell's hands on Air Force One around the beginning of July 2003. Wilkerson must have known all about it, as C-of-S for Powell he probably handed it to Powell. I wonder if Wilkerson, given his extreme animus against Bush-Cheney, played a role in this Plame affair -- it may well have been Wilkerson or someone much like him leaking things (and encouraging others) from State to help roll the MSM ball along. Remember that Joe Wilson says before he decided to go public he talked to someone he knew high up in the State Dept. who ENCOURAGED him to go public, saying it would be the only way to have an impact!! That could well have been Wilkerson or someone like him. Wilson very likely knew Wilkerson because they are both connected with Scowcroft and meetings on Turkish-American affairs, I believe.
Oh boy here we go. Though I am convinced, assuming the little lady was just polishing her nails each day at Langely and had no covert jobs for many years, and therefore anyone in any form making note of her ID in any way committed no form of crime and therefore this whole affair is as twisted as some one eyed Babylonian witch, what you continue to come up is rather interesting. I appreciate the foot work you have continued to put in on this matter. So it appears this Wilkerson crud ball could be at the bottom of the filth game. Thanks again for yours, and all our Freepers who are trying to follow this managerie of smoking glass mirrors.
