We have more than the WOT going on. IMHO, our enemy within is becoming our greatest threat.
Hmmmm.... Newsweek.... Time..... Corn/Isikoff...
I think you could label them all...solvent defendants.
"rushed into print" = leftist scumbags realized that their story is falling apart and this was the last chance to milk it........

That's pretty funny... The authors of "Hubris" never contacted the guys they were writing about. Such hubris...
OOOh that Corn so irritates me. It's about time for him to be "de-tassled". Ugh.
Another anti-Bush book to come out in time for another election. Surprise, surprise. Perhaps someone should inform them that Bush isn't running again.
So it's simply not true we did not talk to — or try to talk to — the Rove and Libby sides.
What a bunch of b.s.
Byron York is the only writer who has any credibility on this subject. He followed the story from the get-go and reported the facts.
Newsweek Apologizes
Inaccurate Report on Koran Led to Riots
By Howard Kurtz
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, May 16, 2005
Newsweek apologized yesterday for an inaccurate report on the treatment of detainees that triggered several days of rioting in Afghanistan and other countries in which at least 15 people died.
Rove nor Libby are required by any law to contact any "news" source to explain their side to prevent libel, it's up to the "news" source to assure the information that they publish is 100% accurate.
Translation for Hysteric Know Nothing speak.
"Whaaa I hate Bush. He is NOT doing ONLY what I want done. Whaaa"!
The left will be rushing to the bookstores for this one because they can't let a good lie die.
You know, it strikes me that this whole Wilson case is just another fabrication from the Dan Rather "Inaccurate, but true" school of Journalism. The prosecutor in the case just kept on investigating, knowing that there was no crime, but also knowing that if he kept questioning people long enough, he would trip up someone and then be able to make an accusation of conspiracy against Cheney.
Isikoff responded to York. Here it is:

AUTHOR’S NOTE: A few hours after this story was posted, Isikoff responded with the following note:
I told [Rove lawyer Robert] Luskin I was working on a book late last year on all this and reminded him again in April at the time I was talking to him about Rove's last grand jury appearance as we went over— yet again — the Rove, Cooper and Novak issues that I was writing about for the magazine. (I have operated under the assumption that he and others didn't have a different version of the truth for a book than they do for the readers of Newsweek.) Mark [Corallo] was interviewed for the book last December (about a matter he dealt with at the Justice Department) and I spoke to him periodically over the next six months about matters relating to Rove. At one point, he even helped put me in touch with a source for the book. Barbara Comstock certainly knew I was working on a book for at least the last six months and I certainly spoke to her during that period. (The Libby lawyers have consistently no commented me and David, as they have everybody else.) Finally, Dan Bartlett was sent a lengthy email that included questions for the book relating to Rove unrelated to the leak case. He chose not to respond.
A PAIR of top Bush officials.....POWELL/ARMITAGE!! Armitage did this with POWELL.,,,disgusting that they didn't come forward and stop the madness and the MILLIONS of dollars spent!!
Fox News had better FIRE David Corn as a Contributor to their programs...he's a LIAR!! He was out there all this time saying that Cheney, Rove, Libby or BUSH leaked this when he KNEW it was Powell/Armitage!!!! FIRE HIS ASS!!
You pinged me earlier looking for a source for my statement that Corn was the first person to raise the notion that the Bush administration outed Plame in order to smear her husband. The article by Byron York on this thread also fingers Corn.
Interesting that RINO Richard Armitage was the leak, which was know from the git go. Yet Fitzgerald continued to investigate and all we got for all this money spent was a bogus charge against Libby.
