In a battle of wits,
the New York Times is completely unarmed.
I used to do the same, then found out that the caller is not an employee of the paper. The caller works for a marketing firm.
Then I learned another trick, but it depends on how the caller starts the pitch. If they ask "has the delivery been timely?" I say "Yes!" If they ask whether or not I enjoy the paper, or similar, I tell them I am delighted. End of call, everybody's happy, and I am the only one the wiser.
So the NYT has decided to OPENLY GO FOR YELLOW JOURNALISM.
Does the NYT have any credibility?
Serioiusly, the NYT has a reputation for MAKING UP information so who can honestly say the NYT not just making it up? answer NOBODY!
Even FNC is buying the NYSlimes line. The MSM is going to circle the waggons. I am so disapointed that FNC is not point out the NYT effort.
This is beginning to look like either a vendetta or a policial assassination.
Sounds to me like Rove clearly identified her as working for the CIA

Remember when Sid Blumenthal did that and lied and nobody could say so.
This is so ridiculous! Where have you been??? There was NO CRIME committed even if Rove did mention her name, because she was NOT a covert agent and hadn't been for at least 4 or 5 years. She was more than happy to tell everyone that she worked for the CIA, it was common knowledge.
Rove is not the target of the grand jury investigation and Miller would never go to jail to protect him. Miller was already in trouble for refusing to reveal a source inside the CIA. It is very possible that this is the same source or related to that source.
The law concerns revealing the identity of a CIA agent. There is no difference between saying Valerie Plame, Joe Wilson's wife, or pointing her out on the street. The name nuance comes straight from Rove's lawyer.
Just a bunch of control freaks trying to convince everybody else they're still in control.
They can't even keep their pants dry.
On the guest list of the 1999 state dinner hosted by President Clinton for President Jerry Rawlings of Ghana, no occupation was listed for Valerie Wilson, the wife of Joseph C. Wilson IV, Clinton's top White House Africa analyst from 1997 to 1998.
And even IF Rove knew she was covert, mentioning her name and that she worked for theCIA only and not REVEALING that she was covert is nothing more than improper, NOT criminal.
Doesn't matter, read 118.
Are you making an assumption about her source?
40. A shadowy conglomeration is out to kill us. (MIHOP) As I sit in my office today, I hear the whispers of co-workers now utterly convinced our war on terror must continue.
Despite American and British involvement in the Middle East birthing wave after wave of rebel forces, the Bush doctrine is now justified in the minds of millions.
Petty grievances such as the Downing Street Minutes, the President's flagging support and Karl Rove's treasonous outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame are unimportant. A shadowy conglomeration is out to kill us.
Got it. Thank you.
That part I get, I think <g>. Just some statements here seem to focus on "the name" (i.e., "Rove never said 'Plame.'") as though it would be a substitute for her function. I was wondering if the posts literally meant to say that changing the text of a Rove statement from "Wilson's wife" to "Valerie Plame" constitutes a substantive difference.
