This case as much as any in recent history demonstrates the danger of having a one party media. If we had a "watchdog" media, these facts would have come out almost three years ago. But we don't. And it didn't.

Heck, the New York Times even fired one of its top reporters, Judith Miller, because she would not lie to advance their agenda. The Washington Post trashed their star reporter Bob Woodward for the same reasons.

God knows what other lies the media are sitting on.

Very good.. I guess that it is up to all of us outside the MSM to keep this story alive until next week. Great timing on the MSM's part to dump this all right before a 3 day weekend.

Can the perjury-trap against Scooter be put to bed now? Can Fitz be sanctioned for prosecutorial misconduct?

And Congressman King says soon they'll be NYT's reporters in jail if they're sources are not revealed.

One of the problems is that the radical left will not admit that they were wrong on this. Even the WashCompost has stated that it was armitage. But if you look at them, they will say...Yes it was Armitage, but don't you remember blah, blah, blah. They are so embarrased by this they won't even say a word on it.

Look at the MahaBlog (if you can stomach it -- i took some rolaids just before I did). Not only did she not talk about it, but only after someone chided her on it did she say something and when challanged she banned the person.

Thanks for the post... Plame/Wilson vs. Libby was actually, not much different than RatherMapes vs. Bush. This time... the DNC/MSM had a bonafied, CIA employee instead of an old, obsessed DNC activist.

There will be more.

The thing that is missing is Joe Wilson is a liar.

God knows what other lies the media are sitting on.

Which all goes to prove once more, the truth gets out on the Internet BUT not in the MSM. One question that should be forth coming, just who did Patrick Fitzgerald use for research, if anyone. The case against Scooter, Rove and Cheney was over after the first few months...only Harry Ried, Pelosi, Spector, Biden, Durbin, Kennedy, Clinton (FOPF?) kept howling into all cameras when everyone else knew that Wilson was a liar and his blushing bride was not a spook but was a has been kook.

Great points, Sam Hill - yes, the lying sleazoids of the NY Times choose a sleepy Saturday on Labor Day weekend to finally make some small accounting of the grotesque MSM mendacity in this affair..... though of course they are spinning and sliming their way to their new position which is that they did nothing wrong and merely asked questions. The gross failings of the virtually all of the MSM in swallowing Joe Wilson's rantings whole without question is a textbook case of journalistic malfeasance and sedition.

What about Novak? He knew ... right? What's his culpability in all of this?

I don't know if it is possible for me to despise them any more than I already do. They are the journalistic equivalent of ambulance chasers - they don't care what the truth is or what is right or wrong as long as they can find an angle to stay on the case.
