In violation of CIA regulations that bar contact with reporters without permission, Joseph Wilson's agency-employed wife Valerie Plame apparently accompanied him to a breakfast meeting with New York Times reporter Nicholas Kristof in which they discussed the ambassador's controversial mission to Niger one month before Plame allegedly was "outed" by Robert Novak.
In a WND column, investigative reporter Jack Cashill points to a "stunning admission" by Wilson in a January 2004 Vanity Fair magazine story that apparently has been overlooked.

The people who are responsible (our elected Repubs) will keep giving them a pass as long as we keep electing them.
Or as long as we don't hold them accountable.
Same boat same NO problem... LOL
OMG - SO funny!!
Absolutely perfect! And both the initial photo & your equipment malfunction photo loaded immediately.
When a site is slow or locks I blame Roadrunner or my husband for messing with the PC...
LOL! That midi music is perfect for "Secret" Agent Plame.
* Who was responsible for NOT having Wilson sign a nondisclosure's agreement when he was contracted by the CIA?
* Who actually approved the Niger trip?
* Who was responsible for not requiring a written report from the sweet-mint-tea sipping trip?
* Can someone put out Wilson's pants long enough to call him back to Congress to charge him with lying to the 9-11 Commission?
* Is Wilson aware that other nations beside Niger export Uranium, Iraq somehow had acquired 500 tons of yellow-cake from some country; that the documented trip of the Iraqi trade ministers really wasn't about goats?
* If Wilson saw the alleged forged documents from France/Italy before our intelligence community did, was he involved in the creation of the forgeries in the first place?
* Other than being married to a CIA analyst working on WMD, why was he identified as enough of a WMD expert to investigate the Niger connection?
Absolutely brilliant.
The original posted photo was 2048x1536
I reduced it to under 50,000 bytes at 544x410
Then added some FX & reduced size to 400x300 - 128,178 bytes - animations & even many "still" .gif images are way bigger than .jpeg or .jpg files
I quit using any of my 12 websites for posting images on FR threads & emails
Photobucket & Imagecave do a good job of hosting images with reliability - The catch is there is a monthly bandwidth limit - But it can be worked around by balancing posted files
No more "hotlinking" problems or slow loading of images, audios, webpages on my own websites now - and no more problems when they get a lot of traffic 4-6 times a day
This is ¼th the file size of the original .jpeg photo I made it from
Cartoon characters do not need Hi-Rez photos of Plame/Wilson
The White House photos are not that huge in file sizes - Should we give the DNC better images here on FR?
FR is not a fine arts museum
I use a dinky 56K circa 2000 RCA WebTV Plus with a big vintage Marantz stereo amp & huge speakers and two big TV monitors on DirecTV satellite feed - all at once
MSN/MSFT told me that cannot be done.......
So I attempt to keep my images a reasonable compromise between image quality and fast loading speeds
I know my 56K WebTV Plus loads many .mp3s much faster than many laptops - I also try to use .mp3s that are no larger than 300-800K on my webpages
Audios over 1-2 million bytes are impossible for most 56K rigs to handle within reasonable times
Original .jpeg had 313,746 colors
A tad more than required.....

The gift that keeps on giving - liberals!
My real "subliminal" FX was getting Joe Wilson's lavender necktie to sparkle
The animation speeds and pauses will often change somewhat with the audio - depending on the hardware of the viewer
HUGE .wav file recorded from a phone call to CNN Headline News
3,145,290 bytes - 3:16 minutes
Made by a west coast group to CNN
CNN was not aware of the recording of the call - but they sure are now -
A conversion to .mp3 format would cut loading & size way down and can clean up the noise quite a bit

1. Is it true that the "attempt to purchase uranium" occurred when an Iraqi trade mission consisting of the Defense Minister and including nuclear engineers, visited Niger? If so, how can any half-serious person sugest that they were there to buy---what? ---Honey-roasted peanuts? Niger doesn't have anyrhing else to sell beside uranium, goat skins and peanuts.
2. Is it true that the President of Niger maintains that the trade mission was trying to purchase uranium?
Thanks for the ping!
ROTFLOL!
That's absolutely PERFECT!
You keep me in stitches. ;o)
Can't let this one slip past.
