I know he was Powell's deputy, but he still seemed like a reasonable man.

This is why the libbies protested Porter Goss's appointment to head the CIA. Of course, they'd protest a hanging with a new rope! They didn't want anyone firing/snooping in on the CIA set-up that they've managed to cobble together with Wilson/Plame's assistance. I hope Goss is throttling the bad guys in the CIA. This is one scary mess...to think that Americans in the CIA don't give a damn about our national security. My biggest fear is that it's far worse than wanting to just take down a president, which is bad enough.

"And isn't joe wilson a part of the CIA????"

No, he's not, which is why this whole thing got started. Novak asked his source why Wilson - who is NOT CIA, is NOT a WMD expert, is NOT a trained investigator, did NOT have recent contacts in Niger, and who IS a blabbermouth and a publicity hound - was selected by the CIA for the sensitive Niger mission, and that is when his wife was mentioned.

But regarding your question, a secondary question is why didn't the CIA force him to sign a security agreement and why didn't they prohibit him from blabbing to the media? Why was everyone else committed to silence and strict security, but Wilson allowed to blab to his heart's content?

Reagan appointee. Hogan.

I don't think the C.J. has much to do substantively with the Grand Jury process, but I suppose he could offer some friendly advice if Fitz was proposing to do something off the wall.

The list says "Stranger who stopped Novak on the street". Is that a person's last name, or did some nameless, random person testify?

That stranger is believed to be Larry Johnson, ex-CIA, prominent Bush-basher, and personal friend of Joseph Wilson.

Absent any shocking new developments, I think yours is the best explanation. GJ's are creatures of the District Court, Fitz is from out of town, sometimes a courtesy call is just that.

[...If Fitzgerald bamboozles the media and makes NO indictments, maybe Bush should consider nominating HIM for the Supreme Court!...]

If that were to happen within a week he would be left of Castro because that RINO Bush picked him.

Pray for W and Our Troops

Like GW, Robert and John F. Kennedy tried to reign in the CIA. The rest is history. Now that's scary.

Thanks. Somehow I've missed this part of it. Do you know what it was this stranger said to Novak?

TIA

Remember now, it's not the accuracy of the charge/info, it's the seriousness of the charge. Ahem. Isn't Merican justice wunnerful?

Martha Stewart was convicted of making false or misleading statements to an FBI investigator when she wasn't under oath about something she was not charged with.

bottom line is, yes, he can indict them if he wants to.

I'm betting he indicts the Wilsons, along with several members of a cabal of politically motivated bureaucrats in CIA and State (mostly clintonista holdovers) for consipriring with the French DGSE to run a clandestine operation to undermine the elected government of the United States.

Treason is a crime punishable by death, particularly in time of war.

Hogan is the presiding Judge in this matter.As I recall he wrote the original order compelling the testimony of Cooper and Miller.

Joe DiGenova and his lovely wife Victoria have taken them on directly in this mess- guts and class.

As President Bush described Armitage and Wolfowitz: "two of the best looking guys in my administration."

I will pray for our troops, but I don't believe Bush is RINO. I think Bush is doing the work that should have been done under Clinton's eight years of partying. I have problems with the spending (it is short term) and lack of border protection (shouldn't the states be doing this job?)

And.... I don't know enough about Miers to form an opinion. I will know about her along with everyone else.

For now, I refuse to consider "SPECU-LEAKING" as fact.

I have said 999,999 times, to a conviction YOU MUST PROVE MENS REA.

From Tom McGuire. "Think back to the controversial Martha Stewart case: Martha went down on a false statements charge, but as supporting evidence of her criminal intent the prosecution had evidence that she may have altered her records, supplemented by troubling testimony from her broker's assistant and a personal friend"
