Woodward: Only Minimal Damage from Plame's Outing

Larry King Live ^ | October 27, 2005 | Larry King Live

Whatever one may say of Bob Woodward, he has excellent sources.

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

ping.

Thought you might be interested in this info.

[vbmoneyspender]

I'd have excellent sources too if I could speak to the dead.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The whole thing is absurd. She'd been out of serious work (if that can be confirmed) for more than 7 years.

I think Woodwards comments could safely be guessed, otherwise there would be a lot more heat on this investigation, and it wouldn't have taken 2 years.

Bob may indeed have good sources, the CIA is full of liberal pussies these days.

[Linda Sandoval]

WOODWARD: I agree but there is some factual problems here. When Wilson went to Niger before all this blew up, in fact before there was a war, he came back and reported and Michael and others who have read the Senate Intelligence Committee on this know his report was very ambiguous.

In fact, most of the analysts at the CIA said that Wilson's findings when he went to Niger supported the conclusion that there was some deal with Iraq. Now that's, I mean the Democrats -- the Democrats and the Republicans all signed that report. That is a fact. And, you know, there are other facts and speculation.

DODD: That report didn't go into all of that. The report was about other issues. I mean...

WOODWARD: No, but it did. I've got it in my pocket. I'll read it if you want.

[rintense]

She's gay?

[the_Watchman]

If the affidavit filed by CNN and other big MSM hitters on behalf of Miller is true, then this is misinformation. That affidavit claimed that Miller was already publicly known to be a CIA employee.

Of course, people who wish to hurt Bush would still describe the media exposure as "damage", but there was nothing illegal, which is implicit in this article!

[wvobiwan]

Hmmm, now that IS interesting. Haven't heard that take before, it suggests a whole new light on the subject.

So Wilson believed there was deal with Iraq before he didn't believe it?

[Yossarian]

How could she have been "outed" if she parked her car in the CIA parking lot?!?!?

[JulieRNR21]

I heard Woodward say this and was quite surprised!

Larry, Izzy & especially Dodd were not pleased when Woodward did not pile on Rive & Libby!

I think Libby's indictment is a la Martha Stewart deja vu.

On Scarborough, Gore's 2000 attorney David Boies said that when there is no underlying crime committed....he thinks these types of indictments are wrong.

DODD: That report didn't go into all of that. The report was about other issues

What a liar! As if we can't get the report and read it for ourselves...which I have. He is lying! Dodd must not have read it!

[Senator Pardek]

BA-doom! (Is this thing on?)

[StarFan]

DODD: That report didn't go into all of that. The report was about other issues. I mean...
WOODWARD: No, but it did. I've got it in my pocket. I'll read it if you want.

Was he allowed to read it to Dodd? I will be sure to catch the rerun.

[JulieRNR21]

No did not hear it read....I think that was when LK said....we are out of time.

But I was jumping between Greta, Joe & Larry....so might have missed it.

Dodd & Woodward's dispute was getting heated and ole Larry intervened with.....time for a break.

[paudio]

"KING: Uh-oh, here it comes!" Did Larry just make a bowel movement in his pants?

He was hoping Woodward would say somthing like, "the important thing, is, I think this is Watergate II... and like the previous one, the president has to resign..."

[JulieRNR21]

I think you probably meant Plame not Miller.

[tobyhill]

While I'm not fond of any indictments at least one good thing could come out of them, Wilson and Plame will have to testify and if either take the 5th, whoever gets indicted walks. Even if it's something like perjury they could still get called to "clarify" the "perjury".

[Palladin]

David Boies is a damn good lawyer. He gave an accurate analysis of the situation.
