Wilson fighting back!
Edited on Tue Jul-13-04 05:00 PM by TruthIsAll
Just heard on CNN re: The Plame leak

Tom Harkin said "one year later we still don't know who leaked".

Wilson said he was "outraged" by Senate Intelligence report that an unnamed CIA officer said his wife proposed his name to investigate the Niger claim. He said this was "false innuendo" and that others at CIA recommended him.

CIA officers confirmed his account.

2. thank you God. i was just thinking about wilson and praying he would
make sure the truth gets out. i know he would try but this media is unbelievable..

and so predictable
the gj investigation must have something and so of course the plants are out against wilson so that when things get revealed he will be the one discredited
they do this every single time

will any journalist or govt rep please stand up?

im praying this will backfire - just once even - on *

3. Anyone think to ask Novak who told him?
Why isn't Novak sitting in a cell until he tells.

Somebody needs to give Harkin a good swift kick

8. "Smithers, release the hounds..."
nobody knows why no reporter has ever returned from Novakula's Castle...


It infuriates me every time I see Al Hunt with Bob on Capitol Report and NOT ONCE has he said, "Bob, why are you here instead of in jail?"

I think it's a fair question!

Can't they get some other repulsive old fart to do what he does only better? There's still Broder. He's an improvement unlike Safire...

9. I despise Novak...always have
Long before he took it upon himself to out Valerie Plame.
I wish CNN would have canned his sorry ass long ago for this unprofessional, treasonous act.

Indeed, he was wrong to go public with her name, BUT I will defend to the end, his right to keep his journalistic contacts private. It is way too important to a functioning democracy to trample on that right.

12. How do you know that?
Edited on Tue Jul-13-04 05:50 PM by Bleachers7
I have seen the 14th come up several times. Where did that info come from? I saw something saying that there will be a slight delay because they have to drag NBC and someone else into court.

6. I have that on tape, and........
he said exactly this: "she did not propose me. Others at the CIA did so, and a senior CIA official told me that is his understanding, too."

after playing it a few times, I'm pretty sure Ensor was quoting Wilson as saying the CIA official told HIM, not Ensor that others at CIA did it.

he did a pisspoor job of phrasing the whole thing, making it very confusing

but Wilson, I think, is the one quoting the senior CIA official in his own defense, not Ensor

course who does one believe?

duhhhh

15. Rush started his show today with long attack on Wilson
'the poster child of the democratic party' and how the report 'proved' that everything he had said was A LIE

was the report written and released now so it could be used to 'take down' Wilson?????

16. Are you sure that
he said the Senate Intel report sourced the story that Plame recommended Wilson to "an unnamed CIA officer"? I was under the impression that it was an "unnamed CIA employee" .... and while at first, the distinction between "officer" and "employee" may seem minor, .... I think it will become significant.

There is a small group of DUers that participate in the GD "Plame Indictment Threads" ( it's now on 6, soon to be on thread #7) .... we are trying to get 100 DUers and interested parties to write to or e-mail letters to a few important places .... including Time and Countdown on MSNBC (both have supplied significant information to the public on this case) and to a couple congressional representatives. We would very much appreciate your assistance.

We are hoping that, in time, we will be able to have a solid little group of DUers who will participate in weekly activities to promote democracy at home and abroad. Thank you for your consideration.

Summary? The usurpers are about to crash-land in a way that will make the Hindenburg at Lakehurst look like Lindbergh at Paris. Some are praying and working that this does not burn down the house.

18. Hi H20,
I have been participating in the threads and letter writing campaign too. I came in at the end and am almost sure they said unnamed CIA officer. Wilson would not be interviewed by camera but was outraged.

Also, I heard John Dean say today that the elections will not be canceled. He had first hand info from the inside and said Rice was telling the truth. I was shocked to say the least. I did want to pass it on.
