Yes, an excellent read. I especially like that last paragraph. I'm not sure if I can quote it here without exceeding the permissible limit.

Thanks, this is the best writing yet on this subject.
To: YaYa123
This whole thing is quite silly. CIA info is not secret to the White House. If you send your husband on a mission and he comes back LYING that Dick Cheney sent him, obviously people are going to mention what really happened. Seems to me she is a villain at a tile of war for not stepping forward to set the record straight. And she is such a creep that she still hasn't done so.

The CIA had intelligence screwed up royally before 9/11. It has been trying to cover up matters ever since. The libs who castrated the CIA during the Clinton years, during the administration that opposed a funtional CIA, who now occupy the seats at Foggy Bottom and elsewhere only to get a paycheck and who still oppose a useful espionage agency, are plotting the discrediting of GWB and this administration. They do so to protect their own joke jobs as evidenced by Valerie Plame recommending her liar husband for a job for which he was not competent.
The CIA has become anti-American. Is that possible?

"..It appears that Woodward's source outed Woodward to Fitzgerald, and Woodward gave sworn testimony to Fitzgerald this past Monday..."
If that is true Woodward's source can't be Chaney.
To: YaYa123
Wow! The article speculates that the source was Colin Powell! Now I'm sure Fitzgerald is dying to indict Powell. Not. And I'm sure people can easily say Powell was part of a smear campaign. Not.

"Defenders of Fitzgerald's indictment can argue that its charges that Libby lied still stand. But the differing recollections of Woodward and Pincus could strengthen a defense based on faulty memory, and Woodward's disclosure refutes the timeline that Fitzgerald presented at his press conference."
Well...it looks like Fitzgerald has some splanin to do.

It is comforting to know that he shares the same analysis of the situation that I do. I admire that man's mind.

Mebbe Woodward can play Robert Redford again in the movie version of this soap opera! Who'd play Dustin, though?

His analysis is the most clear-cut, easy to understand explanation...withOUT political hatred and hyperbole...than any other writer...

Woodward knew Libby was innocent and said nothing...
To: YaYa123
I [Barone] recall that some years ago Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan argued that the CIA should be abolished, and I argued that that was a ridiculous and irresponsible position. As usual when Pat and I disagreed, Pat turned out to be right. Indeed. An old-fashioned Soviet-style purge is in order.

Assuming this is true (CIA works to punish Bush and help the Terrorist) then those in the CIA that did this must be brought to justice and put in jail.
How many think this will happen?
Like it was said in the story the MSM is out to get our President and to help the terrorist and it would seem that certain GS employees at the CIA are doing the same thing.
Will this be investigated? Answer NO the Senate is full of cowards and their white flags are waiving.

I'm coming to the same conclusion myself. We have many intelligence agencies. A CIA that is a rogue agency which holds itself above ANY President of the United States is a danger to the Republic.

To: YaYa123
Wow. This story kind of pulls the rug out from under the Fitzmas crowd.
