More on the Wilson/Plame CIA outing scandal

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet, but a boatload of new information has come out in a Washington Post article yesterday:

Yesterday, a senior administration official said that before Novak's column ran, two top White House officials called at least six Washington journalists and disclosed the identity and occupation of Wilson's wife. Wilson had just revealed that the CIA had sent him to Niger last year to look into the uranium claim and that he had found no evidence to back up the charge. Wilson's account touched off a political fracas over Bush's use of intelligence as he made the case for attacking Iraq.

"Clearly, it was meant purely and simply for revenge," the senior official said of the alleged leak.

This is huge for a senior administration official (a description that fits about 15 people and is most likely either Powell or Tenent) to tell the media the details on the felonious activities of two top White House officials. Chuck Shumer has already called for a special prosecutor to look into the matter. I don't see how the Bush admin. is going to be able to dodge this one - the man who promised to "restore honor and dignity in the White House" is doing exactly the opposite.
 
The information was politically very damaging to the President and could prevent his re-election. No price is too high to try and stop that. Pawns protect the king.
 
They should have just murdered her themselves like the British Defense Ministry did to David Kelly. <<I am not advocating this.. I think what they did is almost the exact same thing though>>

Anyone think that the British didn't kill David Kelly?
 
It's beginning to smell a lot like Nixon - for those of you who were still playing in the sandbox in '73.
Thirty years later they are up to their same old 'Dirty Tricks'.
(You would have had to be at least 15 years old to understand)
But then who in their Freshman or Sophomore years of High School really cared back then ?

It's no suprise, the 'Juniors' to the Nixon Corruption Core, who got away scot free are doing it all over again,
and this time they are so smug that they think they'll get away this time too.

And the Cycle goes on - those who were into the 'Dirty Politics of the early '50's - the McCarthys and
the Nixons continued to breed the next generation of Political Crooks.

The "Are you now, or have you ever been a member of . . ." has come full cycle and been
presented this time as "You're either with us or against us . . are you a terrorist or a patriot"

If the 'White House' - which means Inside Staff Officials were (or are) involved - it's prison time.

Too bad that they can't be content to just be the elected leaders of the country, without trying to become Tin Gods.
 
Interesting that Wilson thinks it was Karl Rove who leaked the information about his wife. From the WashingtonPost.com:

Wilson, while refusing to confirm his wife's occupation, has suggested publicly that he believes Bush's senior adviser, Karl C. Rove, broke her cover. Wilson said Aug. 21 at a public forum in suburban Seattle that it is of keen interest to him "to see whether or not we can get Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs."

I wonder what makes him think it was Rove specifically? From the description, it could be one of maybe 15 or 16 people who potentially were the source for Novak's column.
 
Where are the Bush apologists here? Your great leader is under attack by that liberal Clinton apointee the CIA director George Tenet.
 

Theres another side of the story, and that is it's about politics. CIA chief George Tenet is likely out for blood for Bush's ignoring his warnings about the 9/11 attacks, Condi for blaming him for the lies in the State of the Union speech, Cheney for pressuring his analysts to exagerate evidence to attack Iraq. The the very last straw was exposing one his own.

psssst... you ever wonder why the whitehouse never fired George Tenet? Oh the things he knows 😉
