thread title (2-24-06 GD): FITZGERALD: WH 'RECENTLY LOCATED' 250 PAGES OF EMAILS IN CIA LEAK
Raw Story reporting on an AP story: “ Special Prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald said in a court hearing Friday that the White House "recently located and turned over" 250 pages of emails from the Office of Vice President Dick Cheney, according to an article filed by the Associated Press Friday evening. The AP article focused primarily on the fact that U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton told Vice President's former chief of staff I. Lewis Libby that he was not entitled to know the name of the individual who "outed" CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson. Libby was told, however, that he could have copies of notes he took during 2003 and 2004 while he served as Cheney's chief of staff. … The newly-turned over emails could indicate that not all information had been divulged when the Justice Department first required the information be delivered. It could, however, also signify that Fitzgerald is seeking additional email correspondence based on information he obtained during the probe.”

thread title (2-25-06 LBN): White House 'Discovers’ 250 Emails Related to Plame Leak
Article by Jason Leopold posted at Truthout Friday 24 February 2006. Excerpt: “The emails are said to be explosive, and may prove that Cheney played an active role in the effort to discredit Plame Wilson’s husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, a vocal critic of the Bush administration’s prewar Iraq intelligence, sources close to the investigation said. Sources close to the probe said the White House “discovered” the emails two weeks ago and turned them over to Fitzgerald last week. The sources added that the emails could prove that Cheney lied to FBI investigators when he was interviewed about the leak in early 2004. Cheney said that he was unaware of any effort to discredit Wilson or unmask his wife’s undercover status to reporters.
Hmmm… are they authentic? And is a sign that Cheney is being groomed for dumping and/or scapegoating for all the Bush crimes? “Finding” 250 pages of emails after all this time is obviously a lie.

thread title (2-25-06 GD): DC Burning
Great H2O Man thread, starting from “Mississippie Burning” and the parallel with the “discovery” of the 250 pages of WH emails showing that what is buried CAN reappear. H2O Man: “I would recommend watching one of my favorite movies, ‘Mississippi Burning.’ It's about the civil rights activists Schwerner, Goodman, and Chaney being murdered and buried with a bulldozer in racist, violent Mississippi. James Chaney had been tortured. I was reminded of that when reading that in the December 5, 2003 edition of the Financial Times, a senior White House official was quoted as gloating, ‘We have rolled the earthmovers in over this one.’ Miracles do happen: they just take a heck of a lot of hard work. In this case, my friends, the Truth, like Lazarus, has arisen from its place of burial. Things are good.”
The Replies thead is important for its informed discussion of WHY this might have been done by Mr. Fitzgerald, what’s coming, and also the introduction of H2O Man’s good friend Baggins 9.
