LOL and noted.
An Arkansas grand jury was ready to indict Hillary Clinton and Ken Star Balked. He thought it was to political. Does Fitz want to follow the right or wrong path?
Thanks, that's where I am as well.

Telling him, 'don't print that story' would have been pretty clear confirmation, now wouldn't it?
Further, the CIA says they asked Novak not to publish it, and they've barred Plame from talking about what she did for national security reasons.
Sorry, I'm not buying the idea she wasn't undercover and the CIA and DOJ are just going wild with this whole thing.
Fitz is acting as if not remembering is a crime,if a Republican doesn't remember, but it was OK for Bill and Hillary to "not remember" things.
"Legal sources say he studied inconsistencies and forgotten facts from witnesses, including Rove, whose early testimony differed from Cooper's recollections. Rove, who spoke to the grand jury four times, changed his story after failing to mention that he discussed Wilson and his wife with the Time correspondent."

And all this from a grand jury leak on a leak case. I am confused as heck.
Another interesting article about how "covert" Valerie was --- NOT, examining the specifics.
How Covert Was Valerie Plame?
http://justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2005/10/how_covert_was_.html
And no matter how you want to claim she was covert, the IIPA is very clear and definite and the FACT is that Plame was NOT serving abroad and haven't for at least 5 years.
"Intelligence Identities Protection Act. To violate it, you must disclose the name of a covert agent who has served abroad within the last five years, while knowing that that person was a covert agent. It does not appear that Plame was a covert agent who had served abroad within five years of the disclosure of her name to reporter "
You're wasting your time with that.
That one, IMO, is posting from either the CIA, the DNC, or Fitzgerald's office.

see post 42 here...
More like the DNC. ;)
Now that's interesting. During the Clinton investigation the media and Clinton's people made it a circus...now we just have the media filling that role. Behind the scenes there seem to be some top notch people...and I will not be at all surprised if they land in a different place than where the media expects to greet them.
He had lunch with Dan Rather.
remember this folks,, Barone was the only one who saw the truth on election night 2004,, the guy's sharp
he and Fred Barnes are the best
do we know who all has been called before this grand jury? wilson, cia people, others?
I think it was mostly Bush admin people -- they had Rove in front of the grand jury some four times.
It's a witch hunt.

There is an extraordinary amount of real, exagerrated, or fabricated leak stories being released by the MSM ahead of these indictments (or non-indictment). I believe these leaks may be intended to 1) put pressure on Fitz to indict or else look like he caved into pressure from the Bushies, and 2) create the false impression that Bush's people actually broke the law so that this case still damages Bush and the GOP if Fitz doesn't indict anyone in the Bush Administration. This looks like a major DNC propaganda campaign, and I find it interesting that crazy Howard Dean said he "wouldn't accept the prosecutor's decision" if Fitz doesn't indict anyone in the Bush Admin. This is a very strange Clintonesque case. I liked Washington politics more before the Klintoons showed up in Washington.
There's a strange story in the LA Times too about Fitz's people questioning Wilson's neighbors again TODAY about whether they knew that Plame worked for the CIA. That's strikes me as very odd--either Fitz toying with the MSM or perhaps Fitz is nervous about a weak indictment that he's filing. I hope he's just trying to confuse the MSM.
This is it:
