"WHY WAS WILSON SENT TO NIGER TO REPRESENT THE USA REGARDING WHETHER OR NOT IRAQ WAS BUYING YELLOWCAKE? WHY? WHY? WHY?"

See this FR post, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1506711/posts
The title is "Was the Joe Wilson Valerie Plame Affair a CIA Plot?"

There are segments in the CIA and the State Department who are very much opposed to the policies of the Bush Administration. They are particularly incensed against Dick Cheney and are out to get him.

Another useful source is Laurie Milroie's book "Bush Against the Beltway."

It was a CIA plot. That is the story here. It has nothing to do with this idiocy involving Plame.

Plame and her husband and others in the CIA ran a rogue operation to discredit a president. And? They had the help of journalists in the effort, including (it appears) journalists at the New York Times.

That is the only thing that makes sense, and it explains why Dowd and the rest of them are acting so worried. Wilson was supposed to finger Rove. She didn't. And now they're deathly afraid of what might happen.

Thank you for the referral, but I have read it. My question was more one of my pontificating and not being able to come up with a reasonable answer. To hear the MSM, Roves response was to do something illegal, then commit perjury and obstruction. I do not believe Rove is that stupid. If he outted her, he did so without knowing she was covert (if she was). That means the 1982 Espionage Act was not violated. NOW! It escalates to appointing Fitzgerald. Before Rove does any other thing he get lawyered up big time. He is instructed by Bush to be completely transparent and cooperative with the special council. He remembers what happened to clinton when he committed perjury. NOW, the MSM would have us believe after all of that, he committted perjury and obstruction of justice. That scenario playing out just does not ring true.

Now here is where I confound myself. What makes me believe I know more than the NYT, Matthews, Washington Post, all liberal pundents. They are smart people and it seeems to them to be the most logical explaination?I want the Bush administration to be exonnerated. They want the Bush administration to go down in flames. They have their theory. I have my theory. Am I delusional or are they delusional? I believe I am correct notwithstanding all of their inside information and intellect. I believe I am correct because it would be out of character for Bush, Rove, and his administration to behave outside of the law. That is not what any of the Bush administration has been about.

It seems in character with the CIA from Tenent on down to think they would like to do it. All, then, it took would be to have a ballsy group think they will try to do it. Someone with hubris of a grizzley bear. Someone who believes he can outfox all of the guns at the White HOuse. Someone like Wilson. He does his little thing and sits back and waits and sees whether it takes, perhaps with the help of some media friends. Could they throw enough crap against the barn door that some might stick.

Yes that is the only thing that makes sense. With all of the rumor, confabulation, smokescreens, and the rest,....that is the only thing that makes sense.

Now, is Fitzgerald an honest American lawyer. They are as scarce as hens teeth, but I believe that he is, from all accounts. The problem is that all of the accounts come from the MSM.
