Dangerous Liaisons: Wilson, Armitage and the MSM

Wow .... motherlode of info. Clarice is spectacular at keeping on the case, thank God, and finding all the minutia that matters.

[Howie66]

"Stupid Anti-America Liasions" would appear to be more fitting and accurate.

The one nice thing about Liberal/Socialists is that they tend to kill their young.

[STARWISE]

Thank God for Clarice .. she's still on the case, and no trivia or smokescreens fool her. I'm just seething at what Armitage and Powell have done, and thrilled they're being publicly castigated. They need to answer for this. I wonder if they feel any shame at all.

[soupcon]

Forget the minutae, a stalemate would be a victory.

[Paladin2]

So, how many "journalists" will be hounding Fitz over the next week? Hounding Powell?

[Invisible Gorilla]

Mr. Armitage had prepared a resignation letter, his associates said. But he stayed on the job because State Department officials advised that his sudden departure could lead to the disclosure of his role in the leak, the people aware of his actions said. Better to have left Libby and Rove dangling than tip them off to the truth? Got it. Prince of a fellow. And boy, those unnamed State department officials are paragons of loyalty and virtue. Real statesmen.

Richard Armitage deserves so much worse than the simple anonymity that is likely to befall him. It would be sweet if something turned up that allows him to prosecuted, and then sued by Rove and Libby in civil court.

I am afraid that most of the "castigating" is being done on the internet level though..

It seems like the newspapers are trying to just give the story the least amount of explanation as is necessary...after putting reams worth in the papers before the story abruptly changed last week.

I still haven't heard this on any show except Brit's show...except for a brief mention tonight on the Beltway Boyz...

Where are the hour long interviews on Meet the Press, 60 Minutes, Hardball, etc.

Didn't Joe Wilson get the whole hour once on 60 minutes??

A lot more people probably saw him on 60 Minutes than will EVER read Clarice's articles, unfortunately.

I know I sound pessimistic...but, just like I sense Soros/Clinton in the instigation of this plot...I sense them in the cover up...and the behaviour of Armitage and Powell...in NOT being honest with Bush.

Surely, somewhere in that army of lawyers that inhabit Washington, there must be some who will be willing to sue the pants off Joe Wilson and the other liars on behalf of those whose lives and livelihoods have been damaged by this charade.

[Wristpin]

This is really no different than the National Guard Memos except that it was more wide spread. Heads should roll. There was a purging at the BBC when they got caught lieing about Blair.

[Lancey Howard]

For additional comments, HERE is the other thread about Feldman's column.

Who wants to wager that Armitage will show up as an advisor to some demoratic candidate?

Knowing that it was the BBC my first thought is to wonder if the purgung was of those who exposed the lies.

I don't know about that. But I'm ready to beat the crap out of him.

[Wristpin]

All about it here...

Thank you for the ping.

I wonder if they feel any shame at all.

Maybe over being outted, but that might be giving them too much credit.

[STARWISE]

He already is .. as is supposedly PukyPowell: MC CAIN!

[misterrob]

Not likely. Having him on board means it only continues the undoing of Wilson's lies.

[misterrob]

It's no wonder that Powell is in favor of affirmative action.

[RobbyS]

Powell has the "honor" of being unfaithful to both Clinton and Bush. What a POS he is!
