I see you've wised up about JLA. He also knew that the Admin. had nothing to do with outing a CIA agent. Then changed to the denial that she was NOC. He'll just blindly follow his parties leaders where ever thet take him. It's a waste of keystrokes to have discourse with him.

Great summation. Here are some unanswered Quailgate qs: * Why did the Cheney team haul the bleeding Whittington an hour and 20 minutes north to a branch of the Christus Spohn Memorial Hospital in Kingsville, rather than have him flown directly to the more resourceful parent hospital in Corpus Christi where he wound up about three hours after the event? * Why did guards turn away a deputy who drove out to interview the hunting party? In other words why did no authorities take a statement from Cheney until some 14 hours after the incident? * Why did Katharine Armstrong, who phoned the local newspaper, say there was “no--zero, zippo” drinking before Cheney acknowledged having a beer with his lunch? * Why did the Secret Service not know the position of everyone with a loaded gun in the vicinity of the vice-president? * Why three versions of how the news broke? One in which Armstrong claims she made the decision to phone the local media, one in which Cheney asked her to phone the paper, and, finally, Cheney’s answer to a question from Hume, suggesting Karl Rove played a role in handling the media? Still, those who say this story has received comparatively more media attention than it merits are right—though not in the way they imagine. opednews.com
