The Special Prosecuter, Fitzgerald may be on to something that may cause real harm to the DemonRATS. If Valerie used her CIA connections to leak something that would hurt President Bush's reelection, we would have a major crime. Judith Miller may be hiding information that points the finger at Valerie's efforts to use her CIA connections to hurt President Bush. The New York Times certainly would not want any such revelation to be made. It would put a dagger in the heart of the DemonRATS!
Since Joe Wilson's venture to Niger produced no information, how then did he get the forged documents which were classified? Such documents were forged to hide the fact that France was helping Saddam Hussein acquire the uranium from Niger. The possession of such documents, even if they were forged, is the possession of classified information and a crime.
One last question: If Saddam Hussein did acquire uranium, where is it now?
Well, were I Saddam-about-to-get-my-butt-kicked by the U.S. Marines, I'd probably give it to a neighboring Arab like Syria or Iran in return for some 'insurgents'. 'Cause you gets what you pay for.
Getting late, y'all. Have fun. OAO

Surely 500 tons of anything qualifies as a "stockpile." And press reports going back more than a decade give no indication that weapons inspectors had any idea the Iraqi dictator had amassed such a staggering amount of nuke fuel until the U.S. invaded.http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/10/8/112447.shtmlThat's when the International Atomic Energy Agency was finally able to take a full inventory, and suddenly the 500-ton figure emerged.
You are correct but I suspect it is worse. The ramifications of a CIA attempt to bring down the President is something out of a Tom Clancey novel. For reasons listed in the article, it was no oversight that the rabid, unqualified 'rat Wilson was sent to Niger and allowed to blabber his falsehoods to the Slimes.
I heard nothing in Fitz's comments at his press conference that he was investigating anything other than the leak. He seemed completely taken in by the spin that this was all about leaking Plame's name to punish Wilson, or, at least, that there were no other avenues for investigation. To me, his outrage at the possibility of a leak - even of classified info - displayed an enormous naivete about the realities of DC. His idealism reminded me of one Kenneth Starr, an idealism that would cause him to vigorously pursue a matter that a more worldy-wise prosecutor would dismiss as everyday politics or (in Starr's case) as a matter peripheral to the presidency that could easily be turned against him by an aggressive and shameless White House (as it was).
think about it. A person who donates to Americans Coming Together could have single-handedly changed our country's policy on the war on terror. all because of politics. Major crime? I would call that treason.
