that Bush administration officials went too far in trying to punish Wilson"

BS!!

[STARWISE]

Ping !

[P-40]

Nor does it preclude the possibility that Bush administration officials went too far in trying to punish Wilson.

If they wanted to punish him they would have just ignored him.

[burzum]

Powell however, revealed the minimum amount of information possible to those outside the department. The State Department told the FBI of Armitage's role and informed the White House that they had given information to the FBI about the scandal, but nothing more. The public learned nothing.

Could it be because nothing actually happened. Good grief! Powell didn't do anything because there was nothing to be done. But of course that would imply that the media created the scandal for their own reasons. And that is the big scandal in this case.

[Lancey Howard]

Never heard of the "Virginia Pilot". What college is it from?

[bpjam]

Reminds me of the Truman line: "I don't give 'em hell, I tell 'em the truth, and they think its hell!" The Dems sure think Wilson/Plame were 'punished' for lying about Bush/Iraq/Cheney/etc and when somebody points out a simple fact like Wilsons lie about who sent him they cry bloody murder. If somebody lies and you correct them, is that punishment? Apparently it does if the liar is a liberal.

BTW, does Corn apology in the new book for his false predicts and lies in the original articles? I didn't see anything about it but I'm sure there are some apologies in there somewhere......

[RobbyS]

The public learned nothing. Apparently neither did the White House.

[fabriclady]

It is well past time for Colin Powell to step forward and apologize to the country and most of all to President Bush.

I believe Armitage is too much of a scum bag for us to expect anything from him. After all, he sat back and watched the show. What a disgrace he is to our country.

How interesting that he looks exactly the type that would sell out his brother if it would advance him a step or two.

[PajamaTruthMafia]

The media, Wilson, Plame, Armitage, Powell and Fitzgerald perpetrated a massive fraud upon the citizens of the United States during wartime and must be held to account for their actions. Perhaps we need another "special prosecutor" to look into this, hum?

[MEG33]

INDEED!!!This whole thing is so politically motivated with so many outrages committed by all to slime the administration and the President..Shame on them..shame on them

That is as much as I can say and keep my dignity and my membership.

[I see my hands]

"where the good guys and bad guys come prepackaged and clearly labeled - are often myths."

More BS! There are bad guys, namely the left. I'm sick of this parity crap.

[EternalHope]

This will certainly be the end of Mr. Armitage's career, and that of Mr. Fitzgerald. A fringe benefit is that it may end the career of Mr. Powell as well. None of them will be missed.

With luck, Mr. Fitzgerald will be tried for prosecutorial misconduct. Since this was a conspiracy to bring down the President, LOTS of Democrat and MSM skeletons may come to light in the process.

[Txsleuth]

Boy...the media just canNOT accept that this is not and never was a conspiracy to harm the Wilsons.

And, until Armitage, Powell...and the Wilson's are interviewed and made to admit what happened...the perception of the "culture of corruption" will not go away.

[Waco]

This whole thing was about as transparent as a Dan Rather "Scoop". Wake up USA.

[RetiredSWO]

None of this changes the fact that the public presentation of intelligence was shaped to fit the decision to invade Iraq.

...and we'll just throw this lie in here for chuckles...stupid Americans will eat it right up.

[CyberAnt]

I had the same reaction to this statement: "the possibility that Bush administration officials went too far in trying to punish Wilson."


The Bush admin NEVER DID ANYTHING TO WILSON - HE MADE IT ALL UP - HE'S THE LIAR LIAR LIAR - NOT BUSH!!

The drive-by are total idiots who swallowed what Wilson said because it fit their agenda of GET-Bush!

[JustTheTruth]

Forget Powell's "halo," whatever that is . . .
His carefully crafted image of integrity and honor has no remaining fig leaf to sustain the facade any longer.

C. Powell has been revealed as the disloyal charlatan that he is.

[Quix]

Have long felt that Powell was compromised by the dark side--the globalist puppet masters.

[Bahbah]

None of this changes the fact that the public presentation of intelligence was shaped to fit the decision to invade Iraq.

This is simply amazing! They just believed in their black little hearts that intelligence was "shaped", but they couldn't prove it until Joe Wilson came along. HE was their EVIDENCE. He lied. End of evidence. But still they persist.

[BluH2o]

The WH needs to get out in front of this latest development in the 'Plamegate' episode. Bush's press secretary Tony Snow (who I understand is on vacation)needs to move on this ASAP.

[papasmurf]

When was the White House notified?
Who, exactly, notified them?
To whom was the notification given?
Was there a White House response to this notification?

I can't imagine Libby, Rove, et al jumping through all the hoops they did KNOWING where it originated from, having received notification from the Secretary of State.

Smells like a set up to me.


:O)
