Nadine, Cheney went to the CIA in order to twist arms. Feith's OSP stovepiped information.

The reason Cheney's office went after Joe Wilson and the reason you are still slandering him is that Joe Wilson told an INCONVENIENT TRUTH ABOUT IRAQ.

If what Joe Wilson said did not harm the Bush administration's plan for war, Cheney's office would have ignored him. Instead, they used the power of the government to try and squash his credibility and damage his family.

Their actions speak volumes about the entire situation. They took it seriously which is why Fitzgerald and the CIA took it seriously.

Oh, for crying out loud. You want me to dig up refs on the famous British dossier? What a crock that was, based on obviously forged documents and random dubious academic papers, cribbed verbatim without attribution. There's ample evidence that Cheney was running on Mylroie effluent, and there's ample evidence that the dossier was known to be exceedingly suspect from the start. Wilson's trip wasn't exactly necessary to knock that "report from British intelligence" to pieces.

I can understand your need to divert attention from the wonderful state W's war has left Iraq in, but this Cheney the victim is pretty bizarre.

As for the sneering thing, your need to recycle that one ad nauseum sort of shows your own debating skills are nowhere near what you make them out to be. But then, given your devotion to W the never mistaken war president, also well known "personal responsibility" exemplar, that's not exactly a surprise either.
