The Senate Intelligence Committee report was bipartisan and signed off by both parties, so these very lame flings have nothing to do with the case. Don't forget also that the British Butler Commission came to much the same result as the Senate Intelligence Committee. So, you think Kerry wasn't running for Prez by 2002? Ha ha ha. Joe Wilson would have settled for another Dem candidate in any case. He needed a Dem admin to work again. Joe best hope Hillary wins in 2008, otherwise he won't be working in DC any time soon. If I was him, I'd run down to the local Barnes & Noble and pick up a copy of What Color is Your Parachute. He needs a new line of work.

Whew, you are worked up over this aren't you. Never ceases to amaze me. On the bipartisan signing of the Senate Intelligence committee report, that was, clearly, one more time when Roberts just outfoxed Rockefeller. Like his promise to look into the ways the Bush administration manipulated the intelligence production process. Remember. Roberts promised investigations into that after the election. No investigation. On the business of Wilson knowing Iraq, he had been the acting ambassador and combined the needed characteristics. You don't bring any argument here that he was not the one to do it. I'm certainly not arguing that one can find different arguments about Wilson and then cast them as "lies." That's what become the name of the game with this administration's PR efforts. Who knows where this comes out. But it was clearly serious enough for the CIA to bring a complaint and for Justice to serve it. And, eventually, for a special prosecutor to be appointed. Something is going on. And we'll soon know. I doubt this is an investigation of Wilson and Plame. It's rather of the White House. And it got more worrisome today with both Gonzales and Card being brought into the story.
