So don't listen! You are fortunate to live in a country that 1) allows many views to be broadcast and 2) grants you the freedom to choose among all or none of them.

But don't come on here and criticize those who chose differently than you. Or else we'll conclude various things about you such as that you really have an alternative agenda you're trying to push.

The best theory I have heard here is he went to Niger to help them cover up the connection. That assumes that enough decision makers in the CIA wanted to bury the yellowcake connections as much as possible. Seems reasonable to me.

An alternative theory is that the CIA set up the yellowcake deals in the 80's to empower Saddam and set up more yellowcake deals recently to help provide evidence against Saddam. In that case Wilson is alone in defending Saddam against the charges. Maybe he feels bad about the way Saddam was stung with a nod and wink to go into Kuwait which he was part of (although which side is he was on is in question).

Once it was determined that Wilson's wife suggested the mission, she could be identified as "Valerie Plame" by reading her husband's entry in "Who's Who in America."

HELLO??? Patrick Fitzgerald please pick up the white courtesy phone.

Well, I would like to know how (before he wrote his book) he got the money to have:

a $765,000 house in DC
a Jaguar convertible
a Mercedes sedan
a $14,000 Rollex watch
a kitchen remodel with granite countertops
Oriental rugs in every public room of his home
maxed out donations to Gore, Kerry, and assorted Rat politicians
attendance in expensive clothes at many DC cocktail parties, including White House dinners
support for two children from a previous marriage
nanny or pricey day care for the twins born in his current marriage
start-up money for his "consulting" company

All of this on the retirement pay of a mid-level bureaucrat with his wife's salary at the same level. Neither Plame nor Wilson comes from a moneyed background. WHERE did the money come from?

I enjoyed the Rush Limbaugh Show of the early days in the '90's. ...Now he just hashes, and rehashes!

Could not agree more. Limbaugh's show is basically a 3-hour advertisement for his "Rush 24/7" service, t-shirts, PodCast, blah blah blah. It has been years since he had anything original to add or scooped the media or even Drudge.

Sadly enough, the CIA, State, and just about every other critical institution in the US is riddled with traitors.

Some people, usually those who lack originality or talent feel the need to run those who are successful down in order to make themselves feel better.

I sure hope this ends the way it should. With Joseph Wilson (among others) in prison.

I hope so too. I have to admit my motives aren't totally pure. While I'd love to see justice done, I have to admit I would thoroughly enjoy witnessing the mass hysteria this would bring about among the lefties (including most members of the MSM)

He didn't say that he talked to Tenet. He said he didn't hear from him.

"There's no good purpose in keeping this dedicated, honorable, committed professional in jail," Steiger said after the visit.

Then he should avise her to spill her guts so she can go free.

That is a great question. Inquiring minds want to know. Love your tag line by the way.

Novak is sending a warning shot across the bow to those of concern that he knows the scoop ... and he ain't liking what is being said about him.

That's largely how I read it. Or maybe I would have called it a warning "shout". But I don't think it's just about him.

He's obviously p.o.'d at Harlow and, I think, others who have been spreading their version of events.

But previous experience with how the MSM develops stories tells me there's something else he's mad about. I'd bet he's been seeing "anonymous sources" quoted in articles...and he recognizes them and what kind of pre-spin they are trying to insert into the story.

He's letting them know he's keeping track . He's put them (and any others who might try it) on notice: lie to the public or to the grand jury and Novak will hang you out to dry.

I wanted to get to the library. Hopefuly, we have the right edition that will confirm this.

Joe went to Niger regarding uranium twice...in 1999 AND 2002. Both times at the suggestion of his wife.

The democrats, as usual, got their panties in a wad over nothing.

I can understand Novak's desire to set the story straight, but Wilson is so thoroughly discredited, as well as those around him, that I'm surprised anyone takes him seriously at all.
