I bet MSDNC Matthews is going to cry himself to sleep tonight.

Hey Woody, how long were you prepared to let Libby twist in the breeze?

[eureka!]

Yep. The spin will be Ray's take in the article. In any event, it hurt Kneepad Yost to write this article....

Until Woodward put two and two together and realized he was going to be called by Libby's lawyers to testify. If Fitzgerald has any brains whatsoever, which I seriously doubt, he would drop the charges against Libby right now, and close the investigation with an explaination that it was all a waste of time and the taxpayers money. If he doesn't, Libby's lawyers are going to make him look like the idiot he is!!! Fitzgerald is toast, he just doesn't know it. What a loser!!!

How long is Novak gonna let everyone 'twist' in the breeze?

[DoughtyOne]

I agree.

[Minus_The_Bear]

Shhhhh don't say anything

[Solamente]

Wah Waaaaaaa!

[DoughtyOne]

Did he know about plame for two years also?

[goonie4life9]

"although Libby is charged with lying to a grand jury and the FBI, not with disclosing the CIA official's name."

I love how before this, the AP and Reuters would always say Libby was indicted after an investigation into the leaking of a CIA Agent's name- implying that Libby was indicted for "outing" plame. Now, they are shouting from the rooftops that Libby is indicted for perjury, not for outing. They are so transparent they will say anything, and even contradict themselves, to make a Conservative look bad.

this is just the beginning of the unravel. fitz is way over his head. wait until this goes to trial , the under oath testimony will be incredible from all of these better than the rest msmers. the defense will ruthless. the wpost looks ridiculous.

Bob Woodward's version of when and where he learned the identity of a CIA operative contradicts a special prosecutor's contention that Vice President Dick Cheney's top aide was the first to make the disclosure to reporters.

Did Fitzgerald say this?

[shield]

Did you or anyone see that interview Brit Hume did with a former US Attorney? He said Fitz news conference was an absolute DISGRACE.

I've been looking for the transcript of that interview...appears not to be available yet.

He says pretty much the same thing you've just said...he should drop all charges against Libby sooner than later...or he'll really end up in the poopoo pile.

Notice another MSM whore coming OUT after the INDICTMENTS are made.

[capydick]

This is a real dilema for Washington insiders and RAT operatives. Who do you believe, the special prosecutor who may be trying to ingratiate himself with the beltway power players or, Bob Woodward, the man who has already ingratiated himself with the same people?

Their game plan will probably be to just ignore the statement in public and chastise him in private at the coming holiday cocktail parties.

[penelopesire]

Not sure. ???? This stuff is going to lead right back into the DNC and Joe Wilson himself. Wait and see.

[eureka!]

Yep. In his presser at the time of the indictment. Hence, methinks he is going to be p*ssed by being gamed by the presstitutes....

[Sociopathocracy]

Woodward????? That creep still around?????

I bet Bill Casey told him about Plane during one of their deathbed conversations!

[Mike Darancette]

Everyone is speculating if Rove, Sheeny or some one else in the White House leaked to Woodward. Think about it Bush had everyone working in the White House sign a waiver of any confidentiality. Woodward is saying that the name of his source is confidential.

One must assume that Woodward's source is not in the White House.

My guess is the State Department.
