After more than 2 1/2 years of investigation, special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, whose 39-page filing revealed this "leak," has charged no one with leaking Valerie Plame's name, or established that it was even a crime.
We wonder what this revelation has to do with Fitzgerald's investigation, which has produced nothing except a claim that Libby "misled" investigators about a crime for which no one has been charged.
We also wonder, in this scenario where the only proven liar is Joe Wilson, whether Fitzgerald is out to get the truth or out to get the Bush administration.
Fitzgerald is probably interesting in adding a bit of history to his resume. It would be a crowning career achievement for a prosecutor to get a president impeached, regardless of politics.
I wonder if the Truth will ever sink into the American people.
Actually, "liar" is too kind a word to use in describing Joe Wilson. He is a traitor who peddled lies in an effort to subvert a sitting President at a time of war for a potential cabinet seat in a Kerry administration.
Don't know about the whole article, but the first snipets are dead on.
Here's something I didn't know until yesterday:
"Could one story about Joe Wilson, any one story, mention that he was working for the Kerry campaign?
"He was a foreign policy advisor to Kerry and Kerry's election website linked to Traitor Joe's.
"Then the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence showed Wilson to be a liar.
"They put the rat under oath and all his smug assertions evaporated into admissions of using "literary license", "must have misspoke" and the ubiquitous charge that the reporter misunderstood what he's said.
"Only then did Kerry drop him.
"That relationship taints everything Wilson did and said.
"But the MSM won't ever bother to mention it because they know the American people will factor his partisan ambitions in.
"Between Wilson's lies and Berger's theft/destruction of classified documents the Kerry Administration will forever stand out as one that managed to have major scandals without even getting elected. "

Best Article I have read in the 4 months of 2006! However, Fitzgerald does not gain anything by proving Wilson is a liar. On the other hand he will become immortal if he "gets" Bush. I would predict that Fitzgerald will go after the President.
Presumably the last line, about whether Fitzgerald is out to get the truth or out to get the Bush administration, is a rhetorical question.
Today the local paper printed several letters on this topic, uncluding several who described this non-leak as an impeachable offense, even though virtually every legal expert who has commented on it says nothing illegal was done. But even to say "nothing illegal was done" creates the wrong impression, because it suggests that something improper or immoral was done. And I blame the press for this impression, because they described the leak as a leak of "highly sensitive" information. It was no such thing; it was simply a rehash of what Bush and other administration officials had been publicly referencing for months. The info was so stale that Judith Miller - to whom it was given - never even wrote about it. (If the information really had been highly sensitive, you can be sure the New York Times would have splashed it all over the front pages.) That's why these media types make me so sick; they aren't even clever at diguising their blatant biases and hypocrisy.
I've been reading some very similarly worded letters to the editor in my local paper about how Bush should be impeached for "leaking" classified information. Apparently the DNC has sent out a form letter for it's zombies to copy. I wrote a letter informing the nuts that the President can un-classify anything he has classified, but it won't see print.
Joe Wilson's Perfidy
Joe took the Islamicists' side,
When he said that the President lied.
While he sat on his tush
His words undermined Bush.
I'm thinking the louse should be fried.
