Set up? Anatomy of the contrived Wilson "scandal"

I'm just telling the truth, Wolfstar.

Congratulations on an excellent job.

Just remember to save the whole article on a server or your hard disk. Articles like this can "disappear" when the left finds out what you have done with them.

[Grampa Dave]

Add one more possible player to your list of left wingers in this latest lie/scam.

That is Soros the billionaire who just this week called for Regime change this year in America.

Something this big requires funding and coordination here and around the world. Soros hates GW enough to fund and help "guide" a movement like this latest attempt to electronically lynch GW!

Great work.

Your research is amazing - thanks for the hard work. I've sent your entire piece to: Brit Hume, Hannity, Boortz, Bob Novak, Rich Lowery, President Bush, Rove, Delay, Don Nichols, Frist, Andy Card...............maybe someone will use the vital information you've gathered. Thanks again.

[Wolfstar]

I took your suggestion and have both printouts and copies of these source articles on my hard drive. I see the investigation into who "leaked" is ongoing. Personally, after digging through the genesis of this thing, I believe Novak when he says it wasn't a planned leak. I believe it wasn't a leak at all, but an accidental byproduct of events set in motion by Wilson, himself, aided by Pincus and possibly Corn.

Novak quickly picked up on one of the key questions: how and why did Wilson get picked to go to Niger. He does not reveal the flow of the conversations with the sources he went to for answers. But I can imagine them in my minds eye, because I know the techniques reporters use to gather info. A skilled reporter like Novak, with his lifetime of experience, knows how to get a unsuspecting source chatting about all sorts of things. In the process, bits and pieces of what the reporter is looking for just come out.

WOW...amazing job you did in collating this information

You are allowed any typos considering all the work involved, and with a sore finger.

Thank you for all your time and effort you put into this.

I believe Wilson was the one who is responsible for outing his wife.

[Wolfstar]

You know, you may have something there. Throw enough money around, and some people will do or say anything.

[Wolfstar]

I can't thank you enough. I was going to do that late this afternoon, but you've saved me the work. I appreciate it since I smashed my right index finger in the car door three weeks ago and it still hurts to type, LOL!

If Wilson/Plame were the CIA quotes in the BBC article, we have a far flung operation. One that requires money, coordination and management of the timing of the releases.

Hey, hey! Lookie here. Wolfstar has done us all a big favor.

[Wolfstar]

What hard facts we do know speak for themselves and lead to legitimate questions. Why was Wilson picked for what, on the surface, seemed an unnecessary trip to Niger? Who brought Wilson to the CIA's attention? If Wilson was so concerned when what he believed to be false Iraq-Niger information appeared in the British government dossier, why did he wait 10 months to come forward? If he was so concerned about that statement in the State of the Union speech, why did he wait 6 months to come forward? Why did he not seize the opportunity he had in February with the Moyers interview? When he finally decided to come forward, why did he first do so as an anonymous source in the initial Pincus article, only to out himself shortly thereafter with his NYT piece? And why, after all that, is he surprised that at least one enterprising reporter would go in search of answers to some of these obvious questions? And why, since he and his wife were hardly unknown on the Washington social scene, was he surprised when his wife's name and occupation became public in the context of trying to figure out why he was sent to Niger?

I'm not a believer in deep, dark, extensive conspiracies, so all I can say for certain is that Wilson is one heck of a piece of work!

[Wolfstar]

Working together, we are not powerless. :-)

Thanks

Nicely done. Usually it doesn't take this much work to unravel Dem lies, so Wolfstar done good here. What I find particularly interesting is the coordination between Pinkus and Wilson, and the fact that Corn knew that Wilson had three-year-old twins. Sometimes it's the little details that slip up a sham like this.

What happened to it all?

It is in the Bekaa Valley, another huge blunder by our wonderful folks at the CIA...

U.S. intelligence suspects Iraq's weapons of mass destruction have finally been located.

Unfortunately, getting to them will be nearly impossible for the United States and its allies, because the containers with the strategic materials are not in Iraq.

Instead they are located in Lebanon's heavily-fortified Bekaa Valley, swarming with Iranian and Syrian forces, and Hizbullah and ex-Iraqi agents, Geostrategy-Direct.com will report in tomorrow's new weekly edition.

U.S. intelligence first identified a stream of tractor-trailer trucks moving from Iraq to Syria to Lebaon in January 2003. The significance of this sighting did not register on the CIA at the time.

Report: U.S suspects Iraqi WMD in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley

This was first reported by Debka and Israeli intelligence months before this article came out. I say fire them all and start over...this is pathetic.

Thanks for helping to spread the word. Truth is a great disinfectant.

You bet. My pleasure. Thank YOU for posting it ! ...

[Wolfstar]

I do believe the CIA under George Tenet has not served this President or, more importantly, this nation well. But that is a subject for another day since it deserves a great deal of in-depth scrutiny.

"If Wilson/Plame were the CIA quotes in the BBC article, we have a far flung operation. One that requires money, coordination and management of the timing of the releases."

My only quibble with wolfstar's assessment in that he might be giving Wilson too much credit. Perhaps, he is the brains behind this scandalette. And, perhaps, he is orchestrating his own leaks (as well as his wife's, I'd wager), setting the tempo and upping the ante with each successive barrage.

But this campaign seems too sophisticated and a tad expensive for a "former diplomat" (and probably a hack one, at that).

wolfstar's research is convincing in several respects. At the outset, Wilson was almost certainly his own "leaker". Pincus, to be sure, and Corn, probably, are in on the act and their specific roles, beyond their byline, have been conclusively revealed.

I'm also wondering if Doug Thompson's "former intelligence officer Terrance J. Wilkerson" might have been a reporter's myth for "former diplomat Joseph C. Wilson". (Hmmm. Having just typed them, one sees how one sitting at a keyboard could morph one name into the other). At any rate, I believe the "leak" to Thompson at Capitol Hill Blue -- which elevated Wilson's report to the highest level of gospel truth and geopolitical significance -- ought to be considered part of this same fabric of deception.

Overall, I'm still inclined to believe that there is somebody jerking Wilson's chain. Somebody who may not have been familiar with Wilson until after he appeared on Moyers' show, perhaps. I would also posit that this person is, directly or indirectly, on the Clintons' payroll.

In which case, Wilson's and Plame-Wilson's dream of immortality on the silver screen, a la "All The President's Men", has zero chance of being realized.
