I hope the GOP gets behind Rove and Libby. I support both of them.

Could visualize Valerie & Joe putting their heads together after consulting their demoncRAT social friends and reps from MSM and hatching a plot to "get Rove" or at least penetrate the curtain around the prez.

So much for having holdovers in your administration. Got Bush more trouble than he needed to deal with.

" It is also obvious that liberal journalists are so excited over possible indictments of Bush officials that they are willing to overlook the agency's manipulation of public policy and the press. But if the CIA has been out-of-control, subverting the democratic process and undermining the president, the American people have a right to know. If Fitzgerald doesn't blow the whistle on this, the Congress should hold public hearings and do so. "

JimRob - The whole thing had an air of surrealism to me at that time, and I could never figure out what Miller was doing in the middle of it...still can't. I had thought it was a book-op for her, and it may yet turn out that way, I suppose.

These are very good points, and something I have been wondering about for some time. If spiteful CIA minions were behind this - and I have suspected from day one that they were - then I hope Fitzgerald or somebody calls attention to this, because such a plot would probably be one of the most dangerous things that has happened in our history, tantamount to planning a coup.

I think so. Too many holdovers from the dark days of Clinton.

Kincaid isn't the only one who suspects a CIA plot.

Today’s media assault has all the earmarks of a CIA disinformation operation, just the sort of thing Plame and her colleagues are professionally trained to conduct. While it has layers of deception and coverup, the pattern seems clear enough. Dozens of commentators have now identified the many lies told by Joe Wilson over the past two years, with the quiet backing of Plame and her CIA backers. Notice that the CIA could have exposed Wilson’s fabrications at any time in the last two years. It did not, and by its deliberate silence has allowed those stories to flower into the partisan assault we see today. As Howard Fineman wrote a few weeks ago, the now infamous outing of Valerie Plame isn’t primarily an issue of law. It’s about a lot of other things, like: the ongoing war between the CIA and the vice president’s office. The spookocracy has a very personal itch to want to destroy George W. Bush and Dick Cheney: It is facing a purge to finally get rid of entire layers of incompetents and saboteurs, revealed by the terrorist attacks on 9/11 and the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Here's an earlier posting of the article with some excellent replies and a link to a post by Wolfstar from two years ago that proposes the same question:

Joe DiGenova's analysis makes perfect sense. The media's version of the story makes no sense at all. Outing Joe Wilson's wife to "punish" him? Ridiculous. Libby was trying to answer the question "why the hell was Joe Wilson sent by the CIA to check out the Niger uranium lead?" And the answer is: his wife --- who works at the agency --- sent him.

. . . some of those Watergate burglars were old CIA people -- let us not forget them. They brought down a president too, with the assistance of FBI's Deep Throat.

Basically this boils down to Wilson getting caught in a lie that he and his wife perpetrated to bash bush and sell books and getting caught they screamed that Plame was outed by a Bush official.

The libs picked up on it and fed it to the press. Miller said she didn't want a part in this, got a conscious and now the Times is throwing her under the bus.

These are two very interesting articles.It looks like Kincaid has at least part of the story.Lewis has a much fuller grasp of what's afoot,IMO.

CIA, perhaps the most powerful intelligence agency in the U.S. Government, was deliberately trying to undermine the Bush Administration's Iraq War policy.

Isn't this just the same situation when Gen MacArthur publicly challenged his President over the Korean War? If Bush was a Truman, he would have cleaned out the insubordinates himself, without waiting for Porter Goss to read his mind.

My heavens, Clinton n e v e r put up with this. Who runs this country, anyway?

"Who runs this country, anyway?"

I believe the correct answer is The Washington Post.
