Why are you so quick to believe the Wash Post and someone like Wilson with an ax to grind. Could it be that it fits your own agenda?




The only agenda I have is to find the truth of the matter, that should be every Americans goal. So do we investigate it or let it slide under the table?

Oh, investigate this to the hilt, I say; just don't be overly surprised when Joseph Wilson gets the cuffs slapped on him.

I believe it is being investigated ...

Many are just questioning Wilson's role in the matter

I don't think anyone here has suggested we don't investigate this matter. And if someone is caught, no matter what their party affiliation or motivation, they should be arrested and hopefully convicted.

What I don't understand is the naive assumption that the press and Novak are telling the truth or the assumption that it's someone in the administration. An entirely likely scenario is a Democrat-holdover in the White House calling newspapers in an effort to create a scandal and further lower Bush's ratings.

Given that Clark himself, in his autobiography, seemingly discusses his wife's career, this was what is called an "open secret". My guess is that Rove and his group are waaaay too smart to pull such an underhanded stunt as he would fully understand the risks involved.

Considering that British intelligence stands by their operatives who say that Iraq did try to purchase yellow cake, I don't see what the upside would be for Rove to risk a federal prison sentence by leaking info on Wilson's wife.

It is being investigated by the Justice Department.
