An iceberg doesn't pick its tip. By SiouxPal
This relatively small story about a lady named Plame may in the end be the tip of an iceberg so large that we'll look back at it as we first did when four guys in suits tried to burgle a phychiatrist's files in a Washington hotel building.
Unlike the Watergate story that led to the first resignation by a sitting president this time the clue-seekers are not just two young Post reporters backed up by a heroic editor.
This time it's a whole cadre of truthseekers who are fed up with the pablum they've been served by a corrupt administration that could dwarf the Nixon team for dirty tricks.
Watergate wasn't the result of a single anonymous source leaking information to a couple of reporters. Many players -- and many twists -- created the plot that mesmerized the nation for about two years.
John Mitchell, John Ehrlichman, H.R. Bob Haldeman, Alexander Butterfield, Charles Colson, Kenneth Dahlberg, John Dean, E. Howard Hunt, G. Gordon Liddy, Maurice Stans, and others headed the Shakespearian play in the 70's. As their iceburg grew so did its weight in the waters that made it deadly to those who ran into it.
Today we have Rove, Cheney, Scooter, Powell, Novak, and just fill in your own names of this new thriller classic.
This time there are way more reporters on the case. They are mad as hell and they aren't going to take it any more eh?
Will the truths come out this time as it did in the 70's?
Who will pay the consequences this time?
Yep icebergs don't pick their tip, it just surfaces as a warning for those who tread its waters.
