#1 And now you know why the Lefties will criticize America and Dubya, AGAIN, for any US-led invasion against Iran andor the Norkies, as based on MSM-verified faulty or defective, imperfect "Intel"!? It does NOT matter to the Left whether Iran = North Korea, etc. has one nuke, 100, or 1000.

#2 Joe Wilson is as pure as the wind driven snow.
And the CIA has not been on a covert operation to undermine the conservative US President for breaking down their wall of separation.
According to Mark Steyn Joe Wilson went to Africa for 8 days to sip tea with his old African buddies on a US dime to return and report he did not hear or see anything.
The fact that Joe Wilson was concealing his wife's and the CIA's motives in sending him is the real crime that the MSM won't dare to question.
Good Republicans will not complain either because they know that Porter Goss is cleaning up the CIA in the background (Which is just the way it must be in order not to give the MSM an opportunity to attack and to destroy the CIA which can only work covertly.).
In the mean time Valerie gets all the media tear jerking consolation (and later lawsuits settlements) while Joe gets a new book advertised on 60 minutes.
The Liberal brats always have to win or they will retaliate and destroy the nation we conservatives cherish by feeding us to Islamo terrorists.

#3 The whole thing stinks of a setup, doesn't it Mike?

#4 if it's a setup, its the most inept setup in history. I could do better--and my training in covert intelligence operations consists entirely of reading John Le Carre and Tom Clancy novels.

#5 The indictment didn't include the "outing" of Ms. Plame issue, primarily because there was nothing to "out." Dark glasses and head scarf aside, it is most difficult to sustain a deployable 'clandestine' identify and also mainain a high profile life as a person and diplomatic community couple, slipping from embassy party to foreign residence functions in D.C., driving to and from work at the building. It just ain't done that'r way. Plame married Wilson in 1998. She allegedly, has not been overseas in over 5 years. You do the math. The reason her employer wasn't concerned is because her marriage to Wilson raised an unacceptable deployment profile, if she ever had one. Read that... home office desk jockey employee job change, with pillow-talk diplomatic connections. It was no big deal for the employer, in fact it probably suited them. It should be no big deal to anyone else. Just much to do about nothing. Her book will be out in time for Christmas, 2006. No worries.
