NOVAK: 'NOBODY IN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION CALLED ME TO LEAK THIS'

Drudge Report ^ | 09/29/03

In July I was interviewing a senior administration official on Ambassador Wilson's report when he told the trip was inspired by his wife, a CIA employee working on weapons of mass destruction. Another senior official told me the same thing. As a professional journalist with 46 years experience in Washington I do not reveal confidential sources. When I called the CIA in July to confirm Mrs. Wilson's involvement in the mission for her husband -- he is a former Clitnon administration official -- they asked me not to use her name, but never indicated it would endanger her or anybody else. According to a confidential source at the CIA, Mrs. Wilson was an analyst, not a spy, not a covert operator, and not in charge of an undercover operatives...

May is also the time in which the questions, rumblings began about the guy, can't think of his name but quit his Wall Street job couple of weeks ago cause of his vast up front pension plan.

Now there is something else going on here beside this "WHO leaked a name", up to this point, Clarke going to save us from ourselves, Davis about to get his lights turned off are diversions for something else.

These people don't get this crazy unless they are trying to hide something and Putin's words over the weekend were very strange. Putin comes here a without explanation tells the world that he was talking turkey with some about opposing us in going into Afghanistan. What in the world was that all about?

Whatever is going on this Wilson stuff is a diversion.

Why is it that so many here on FreeRepublic keep slamming Novak? He is a solid conservative and a great representation of the party. Did I mention he is a genius?

[Mo1]

So the Clinton flunkies can never be rid of?

If they are civil employees .. Nope .. not unless the leave voluntary

Miller is on MSNBC right now.

Novak is NOT a conservative or a supporter of this administration (which you already know, I'm sure).

[Toespi]

OOPS, I mean Wilson.

I literally have an upset stomach this evening because of all of this--anticipation of the media's news stories on all the cable shows this evening. No matter what - the media will sink to a new low, I do believe, in trying to find "the" scandal to bring down the White House and President Bush.

I pray that this will come back to the Dems (and the media) and totally embarrass them to no end.

Wilson was on MSNBC blaming Rove. He said at the very least Rove condoned the leaking of the information. Buchanan, Press, and Wilson talking about this undermines national security. Trying to hurt Bush on the "national security" issue.

[Peach]

Good for Levin. This story is not going to go away, unfortunately.

It's a manufactured "scandal" and only those paying strict attention will understand that - which means 95% of the sheeple won't get it.

[Timesink]

I heard Lieberman (Fox News source) is wanting to activate the Special Prosecutor action again. Every rat is jumping on board.

BRING IT ON!

[Toespi]

Wilson is running for the hills on MSNBC, blaming Novak. "OMG, he just referred to himself as a dis-interested spectator in this matter."

[Peach]

That's interesting to tie Putin's words to this and you could be right.

The press must have hated it that Putin said if they hadn't joined the US in Afghanistan, there would have been a different outcome because he was approached by various countries(?), organizations(?) who wanted to fight against our soldiers there.

[MasonGal]

I heard him say that, too!!

[glock rocks]

wilson reeks of little rock, huh?

[Sacajaweau]

Just as Clinton lied and needed all those coverups lies, this will take more "coverup". Why do I think that the Bush crew found another "dress"?

[Peach]

Novak is opposed to our long-standing policy of supporting Israel, is opposed to the war in Iraq and does a lukewarm acting job of supporting the GOP platform on the Capitol Gang.

[MasonGal]

Yep - sure does!

Al-Amoudi was identified in a 1996 Wall Street Journal article as a member of Hamas, and that had collected funds for the defense of one of the accused World Trade Center bombers. Nonetheless,according to author Steven Emerson,Hillary Clinton "worked closely with al-Amoudi".

The close relationship between the Clintons and al-Amoudi was traced back to 1995,when al-Amoudi was appointed a "Good Will Ambassador" to the Middle East. Once overseas, al-Amoudi was quoted as being thankful he could now speak freely, and he engaged in violent anti-American and anti-Israel rhetoric. Despite this, the Clinton administration gave him high marks.

The "close relationship" with Hillary Clinton seems to have continued. In June 2000,the American Muslim Council donated $ 50,000. to Mrs. Clinton's senatorial campaign, and al-Amoudi added his own personal contribution of $ 1000.

Holy Cow .. that is serious

[soozla]

Jennings and all the other sycophantic idiots better watch it....there is such a thing as SLANDER law.....and libel law!!!

When was Wilson on MSNBC blaming Rove, because this morning on GMA he was backing away from attacking Rove and said he got "carried away".
