White House Denies Leaking CIA Identity

Your guys' rationalizations are comical. I will say I saw her on a documentary in a natural setting and CR seemed relaxed. It is true she may have stage fright on TV. I might also counter that someone said one photo which is not flattering cannot be found, but I saw the totality of two of her interviews....and she looked bad pretty much through the whole thing. If anything, the stage fright thing, if true about her, would tend to discount some of the ideas people had on here about her someday running from VP or Governor or Senator. That would knock her out in this telegenic day and age unfortunately.

[Poohbah]

Well, I'll grant you that. But look at the eyes. Is she getting sleep? Poor lady. You can see her suffering over something.

Yeah, such as fighting a war on terrorism, getting Iraq glued back together so that it's not the next al-Qaeda hangout (al-Qaeda loves places like Somalia and pre-OEF Afghanistan--no goobermint types to get in their way)...no sweat, right?

For the sake of GWB enthusiasts, better not hope it is swept under the rug; if confident the White House is in the clear, it is best to air this thoroughly in Sept/Oct 2003, NOT SEPT/OCT 2004.

Wilson is aligned with Moveon.org

He is also involved in their affiliated association, Win Without Wars, he attended one of thier functions. Also from a previous post on FR:

He was an outspoken opponent of U.S. military intervention in Iraq.

He's an "adjunct scholar" at the Middle East Institute — which advocates for Saudi interests. The March 1, 2002 issue of the Saudi government-weekly Ain-Al Yaqeen lists the MEI as an "Islamic research institutes supported by the Kingdom."

He's a vehement opponent of the Bush administration which, he wrote in the March 3, 2003 edition of the left-wing Nation magazine, has "imperial ambitions." Under President Bush, he added, the world worries that "America has entered one of it periods of historical madness."

He also wrote that "neoconservatives" have "a stranglehold on the foreign policy of the Republican Party." He said that "the new imperialists will not rest until governments that ape our world view are implanted throughout the region, a breathtakingly ambitious undertaking, smacking of hubris in the extreme."

He was recently the keynote speaker for the Education for Peace in Iraq Center, a far-left group that opposed not only the U.S. military intervention in Iraq but also the sanctions — and even the no-fly zones that protected hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Kurds and Shias from being slaughtered by Saddam.

Personally, unless Novak starts naming names and fast, I would have to defer to Wolfstar's opinion on that same page:

Given Wilson's ties to Gore, Foley, and Clinton, there is every reason to believe this whole thing is a classic setup. Those who say they believe it was timed to come out when the President was overseas are almost certainly correct. The Dems get someone like Wilson, who has the veneer of expertise and statesmanship, to plant the story. All the key Dems in politics and media are alerted in advance so they have their attack ready to go as soon as the story is printed. Then they howl and rant and rave while the White House is off-guard due to the Africa trip. Classic backstabbing maneuver.

Rove or whoever else is responsible should spend the rest of his/her life in jail...or worse

Hmm, interesting that "Rove" is your first word for your reply #60.

Oh no, no agenda there, correct.

That anyone would believe Novak about anything is astounding to me.

Robert Novak is a journalist of the Highest Integrity. You may not like his conservative views or his criticism of this administration but Novak does have a lot of credibility in the press and elsewhere.

[PhiKapMom]

There is absolutely no way that Karl Rove leaked this information! Not to mention Robert Novak would not be his choice of people to leak to if he was going to leak.

Would bet when they find who leaked (if they ever do), it is going to be a Clintonite still buried in the Administration.

The top members of the Bush Administration do not say anything they don't want to be associated with -- they are not stupid and know full well the press would out them!

"For the sake of GWB enthusiasts, better not hope it is swept under the rug"

It ain't gonna get swept under the rug.

But there ain't gonna be any Administration scalps, either.

This is just yellowcake II. Anyone pinged William McKinley yet? Let him sink his teeth in it.

[Dane]

Your guys' rationalizations are comical.

And I find your posting one bad picture of Condi Rice equally as comical.

Oh that's right, you are picture perfect 24/7, nevermind.

[shhrubbery!]

Rove should sue Wilson's sneaky Leftist a$$ off.

Then why is he working for CNN?

[AmericanInTokyo]

It may not be Karl Rove per se, (although he did get fired by GHWB for leaking in the 1990s) but could be somebody else in the White House. (Although KR has been alleged in several forums). That is just an allegation at this stage. Those alleging should be really boiled in oil if it turns out there was nothing to this. They need to get phone logs and subpoena some people over it to clear it out now. I suspect this is what DOJ and FBI will try to find out. Congress will be on it hot, too, some for narrow political reasons and others, for quality control of government and higher patriotic motivations, IMHO.

Robert Novak is a journalist of the Highest Integrity.

That's why he gets a fat paycheck from CNN.

[dighton]

Chow time.

Id say it might be equal. The oral sex itself was bad enough, but the lying under oath was very serious. Plus, the dude set himself up for international blackmail, which after years pass, we may learn turned out to be the case. At this stage, I would say they are both serious.

[Dane]

It may not be Karl Rove per se, (although he did get fired by GHWB for leaking in the 1990s) but could be somebody else in the White House.

Or God forbid, Wilson himself, as been stated on this thread.
