Original Plame Indictment Thread -- full circle

[yodermon]

On July 1, 2004 at 1:22PM EDT, Democratic Underground member shraby posted the following:

If and when indictments come down in the Plame case,
what then is the next step? What are the procedures?

A simple, straightforward, technical legal question, one which is equally pertinent today. But what followed was nothing less that historic, IMHO. Read for yourself, if you haven't.

The recent kudos to H20 Man caused me to wax nostalgic and dig out the link.

Please kick for DU posterity, as history is about to unfold before our eyes.

1. Thank you for this.

4. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for that link.

I'm only about a quarter of the way thru that thread (it's a very long one) but already, it's a real classic.

10. there are almost 2 dozen threads.

They usually link to each other, but if not, here is a page with all the threads archived in clickable PDF format.

There are 18 threads listed there. The final thread indicates a thread #19, but I don't have a link for it.

Just thought I'd point out something H20 Man said in thread #18, post 216 in response to Pallas180's query: "Did anyone send our stuff to Fitzgerald in Chicago? we had his address. Did someone???? (please say yes ya did)"

H20 Man replied:
he's fully aware of this thread and all the information on it.

found the link:

Very significant statement, that.

12. Oh. My. God!

Oh, that's so cool that's so cool that's so cool that's so cool that's so cool that's so cool that's so cool that's so cool that's so cool that's so cool that's so cool!

Please, Fitz, please, drag the whole stinking mess out into the light and let the clean water of justice run through the Augean stables of our government!

5. This is interesting, but now I am really wondering something.

In post #15 by waterman:

For the first time that I am aware of, Klein informs the public that Plame "may have been active in a sting operation involving the trafficking of WMD components" when the White House revealed her identity.

Was this sting the one referred to obliquely by Sibel Edmonds? The sale of 200 nuclear triggers? An attempt to plant WMDs?

This is beginning to make me nuts!

If you know, could you tell me?

They are thrillers for sure.

9. I remember those threads.

Took hours to read them, but always worth it. Thanks for the post.

13. Water Psalm

"Once to every man and nation,
Comes the moment to decide
In the strife of truth and falsehood
For the good or evil side;
Some great cause God's new Messiah
Offering each the gloom or blight
And the choice goes by forever
Twixt that darkness and that light.

Though the cause of evil prosper
Yet 'tis truth along is strong
Though her portion be the scaffold
And upon the throne be wrong
Yet that scaffold sways the future
And behind the dim unknown
Standeth God within the shadow
Keeping watch above his own."

Martin Luther King, Jr quoted this poem by James Russell Lowell to end his 1967 speech, "A Time to Break Silence (Beyond Vietnam)." He was delivering a message to America. I hope Fitzgerald delivers the message, too.
