"Corn is the person who first raised the totally libelous charge that the administration was out to smear Wilson by outing his wife."

That's interesting! do you have any sources for that information? It needs to get out in the open. Thanks.

See the link embedded in my post #52 on this thread. The source is Corn's own July 2003 article in which he wrote the following:

"Did senior Bush officials blow the cover of a US intelligence officer working covertly in a field of vital importance to national security-and break the law-in order to strike at a Bush administration critic and intimidate others?...It sure looks that way, if conservative journalist Bob Novak can be trusted."

Corn is the first person ever to make that charge. He slyly did it in the form of a question, and he also shunted the blame for making the charge onto Robert Novak. Novak NEVER made any such charge. Corn did. He was the first person to do so, and his fellow Leftist travelers in the media and Dim Party gleefully ran with it.

In the fall of 2003, as this stupid, phony scandal was swirling around DC and the media, I smelled a rat, meaning a set up. So I pieced the outlines of it together using just what was out in the public at that time. I then wrote an thoroughly sourced article for FReeRepublic (linked in #52) describing how the charge that the Bush administration leaked Plame's name to smear Wilson came about. That article I wrote in 2003 has stood the test of time, and it has been referred to quite often in other threads through the years.

So to see Corn now use this book with Isikoff to bury his (Corn's) central role in ginning up this phony scandal is just amazing to me.
