You're right....they are trying to pull the same thing and it started before Kelly killed himself.
I wonder if Wilson noticed that as time has gone on Kelly hasn't turned out to be some hero, but a backstabbing leaker himself. Why, if we want to draw parallels.....then I guess we can anticipate how Wilson's name will be mud when the facts are all known on this.
Mud to thinking people who value truth and honor, that is. I don't expect the mainstreams to get it.
AND NOW, TO INJECT MORE INTEREST, I AM GOING TO PUT PUTIN'S QUOTE HERE FOR EVERYONE TO CONSIDER:
This had very practical results, including in such sensitive areas as combatting terrorism. I have never said this in public, I'm going to do it today. When counterterrorist operation began in Afghanistan, we were approached by people, through several channels, we were approached by people who intended to fight against Americans in Afghanistan. And if by that time President Bush and I had not formed appropriate relationship, as we have, so no one knows what turn would the developments in Afghanistan had taken. You know what was Russia's position, and it helped, to a great extent, to achieve further results that we have achieved in Afghanistan, and was for a very good purpose.
When I first heard this, I thought of governments (and, of course, the French). But on re-reading it, it sounds more like individuals. And the media pretty much ignored it, and the President just let it hang there. I am now thinking this may have been a warning. Putin has LOTS of documents.
