And to think that this same Fleischer used to be seen [while a press-secretary] - right here, on FR, - almost as demigod. And now - 'ex-flack' and 'walking computer'. Sic transit gloria mundi.

I always thought he served GW well; and think he still does. There is so much to the 'rediculous' that this case involves. Have only to look at where 'Scooter' is today; and see why Ari had good reason for going for 'immunity'.

He has a good memory no doubt; but should there be a memory lapse; he could be risk having to go to jail. . .what a total farce this is.

I was certainly taken with Fleischer. I thought he was a nice guy who did a good job. Now I don't think he is a nice guy at all.

I picked off three errors in the first paragraph and you believe everything you read in this article?

The author goes on to tell even more lies here :

What was hush-hush was that Bush critic and former ambassador Joseph Wilson was married to Plame, a CIA operations officer. Wilson had infuriated Cheney by debunking the White House claim that Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein had tried to buy uranium in Niger for a nuclear bomb. "

Wilson never debunked any White House claim- the 911 commission found that Wilson lied to the public in press reports when he claimed he found no evidence Iraq sought to buy uranium in africa - in fact, wilson did bring back evidence of such an effort. So the author lied on this, too.

The author of the article is also lying when he says the White House claimed Iraq sought to buy uranium in Niger. Bush's speech never referred to Niger. Bush said Iraq sought to acquire uranium in AFRICA.

There's alot of countries in Africa- Niger, is but one and it was from Niger that Libya obtained some of the uranium for their nuclear program, in spite of French safeguards. Could be the reason the press gets there panties in a wad is that Iraq sent delegations to various African countries, one in particular of note being Congo. The US also had a lead that Iraq had stored uranium in the country of Benin. That country has a port from which France also ships its uranium from Niger.

Still think this author is telling the truth?

Hopefully not- the author seems to be extracting his information from an article by Kristoff- and Kristoff has a number of issues that gp back a long way- Kristoff has used Karen Kwiatkowski as one of his sources.., Karen's the ex Air Force officer who writes articles for Lyndon LaRouche's magazine and for LlewRockwell.com I believe and who got her info all wrong about the Pentagon Office of Special Plans.
