Excellent article.

Why isn't someone investigating all this, indeed>

Why should CIA care about criticism? They practically answer to nobody as it is.

Not like they're running for re-election - their jobs are guarenteed.

...hadn't been in Niger since the 1980s...

There was an earlier thread today claiming wilson was sent to Niger in 1999, recommended by his wife. I only cut & pasted the article, I didn't save the web page

Not much commented on is the fact that in 1999, according to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Joseph A. Wilson IV made another trip to Niger, a trip also paid for by the CIA and for which he was chosen upon the recommendation of his wife, Valerie Plame. The SSCI gives no explanation for that trip.

I'd like to hear when Fitzgerald figured out that Plame wasn't covert. Why didn't he stop?

The article was reprinted from another magazine, on NRO, The Corner.

Thanks.I missed that in Babbin's article until I read it again after posting it.

I had read about the 1999 trip before just as you had. I wonder if Babbin either doesn't know about it or discounts it since the SSCI mentions it but gives no explanation for it.

It's just a guess, but I bet 'ole Fitzhooey figured it out real quick.

I think it was only 30 days after he was appointed SP that he requested and was granted broader latitude in his investigation.

Maybe his reason was noble or maybe he wanted to set a trap.

Obviously Porter Goss doesn't think so.

Goss needs to have a nice little chat with the liberal traitors in the CIA, and he needs to remind them that running a covert campaign against an elected president is against the law.

Probably the most elimentary, yet unasked, question so far. Good point.

Jed Babbin states that in the article but claims Porter Goss fired her late last year.

In the court documents, Fitzgerald said that by October 2004, "the factual investigation -- other than the testimony of Miller and Cooper . . . was for all practical purposes complete."

my question also.

Burning Down The White House

The conspiracy to bring down a sitting president that went horribly awry... for the conspirators. Mystery, intrigue and corruption that makes Impeached President Clinton's perjury and obstruction of justice appear a moot point.

Even as I type a book(s) is being written.

I remember this, but the media obviously sees no reason to point it out now.

This whole issue is not going to go away without being seriously investigated

The Amicus Brief will be entered as evidence in the Senate Intelligence Investigation and in the book. This has the making of a movie written all over it. ...Mel Gibson or Clint Eastwood could do it justice.
