Time to reopen that investigation now that Scott McClellan has admitted Bush authorized the leak of Valerie Plame’s identity. I know what the right wing spin will be; “Well he’s the President, he can declassify what he wants, when he wants”, but them why the big investigation? Why not come out and say “I did […]
In a new movie. This should be a very interesting movie. I am curious to see how they handle certain things like; My Pet Goat, Valerie Plame, Iraq, Katrina, the economy, etc. ,etc., etc.
When it looks like these missing emails may have altered other investigations then it is time for a criminal probe into it: Apparent gaps in White House e-mail archives coincide with dates in late 2003 and early 2004 when the administration was struggling to deal with the CIA leak investigation and the possibility of a […]
It amazes me how disappointed the Republicans are that the NIE put a damper on their wet dream of a war with Iran: Some Republicans in Congress are second-guessing a government intelligence report that Iran has abandoned its nuclear weapons program. They want a second opinion. The National Intelligence Estimate, released last week, concludes Iran […]
It’s amazing that there is an apparent leak from the White House that may have just closed a very important back end to al Qaeda. If you have been in a cocoon for the past 24 hours, here is the run down: A small, privately run intelligence analysis company says that a Bush administration leak […]
Another Wingnut myth busted: An unclassified summary of outed CIA officer Valerie Plame’s employment history at the spy agency, disclosed for the first time today in a court filing by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, indicates that Plame was “covert” when her name became public in July 2003. The summary is part of an attachment to […]
Leahy is not buying the White House line for one minute that the emails used on GOP accounts have been deleted and are “lost for ever” and neither do I (Think Progress has the video of Leahy’s speech). As someone who has worked on data retrieval, there is a great chance the data is still […]
Sounds like there is still a chance other charges could be filed down the road, but not highly likely. It is great to hear the facts straight from Fitzgerald’s mouth. The one big fact – Valerie Plame’s identity was being protected by the CIA. This is the one the wingnuts will try to spin.
There are other stories that the media has just totally ignored: David Addington, chief legal adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney, says he was taken aback when the White House started making public pronouncements about the CIA leak investigation. In the fall of 2003, President Bush’s press secretary was categorically denying that either Karl Rove […]
The Libby leak trial is really getting to be fun now: White House anxiety is mounting over the prospect that top officials-including deputy chief of staff Karl Rove and counselor Dan Bartlett-may be forced to provide potentially awkward testimony in the perjury and obstruction trial of Lewis (Scooter) Libby. Both Rove and Bartlett have already […]
