I have been attempting to follow along with this thing, but it only gets more confusing. It all seems more like a gossip circle in the WH than any real crime to have been committed. It also seems odd to me that knowing the MSM is infamous for releasing bad information or at best inconsistent facts, who does one choose to believe?

Add onto that there is a study out that says we only accurately recall what is said or what we said to a 20% accuracy rate. The other 80% is just not recalled accurately and is skewed with our own emotions or after the fact additional information.

So, perhaps some good Freeper here can explain this to me, if the prosecutor didn't find sufficient information to support the charges, why/how can an investigation continue? Why is Novak's source still unnamed? Didn't they question Novak? Why is reporter secrecy more important than government security? Given that Wilson's reports to the CIA and the Press are inconsistent, who is really lying here? And the British said Saddam tried to buy yellowcake, then we determined no he didn't, then it came out months later the British report was right...so, in my mind who really lied here? IMHO the investigation by the prosecutor is focused on the wrong thing and that Plame & Wilson could have committed treasonous acts by lying to the CIA, and leaking incomplete findings regarding Saddam/Niger to the press, etc?

"Nobody in the Bush administration called me to leak this," Novak said on "Crossfire." "There is no great crime here..."

"...Bob Novak called me before he went to print with the report and he said a CIA source had told him that my wife was an operative," Wilson said. "He was trying to get a second source. He couldn't get a second source. Could I confirm that? And I said no."

Wilson said he called Novak after the article appeared citing sources in the Bush administration.

"What was it, CIA or senior administration?" Wilson said he asked Novak. "He said to me, 'I misspoke the first time I spoke to you.' "
