Traitor gate & the Attack on Wilson

Wilson for freakin' years was a loyal Republican. He's not a crap ass Kennedy, a crap ass Clinton, a crap ass Dean. He was an ambassador for Bush Dad for God's sake. The irony of it all, it was in IRAQ. Bush's Dad called them damn guy a hero! He served Ambassadorships in Africa, which was why he was asked to go there. Geez.

Go back to 2000. He contributed and supported Bush's campaign. Somehow all this stuff is totally ignored by these Republican rags. It's embarrassing really. The content of his report on Niger is 100% true. The U.S. Ambassador from Niger, concurred in her report that was presented before Congress.

Conservatives, be honest with yourselves once. Wilson is not the bad guy. Plame is not the bad guy. The Republican smear machine is going all out on multiple fronts to smear, distort and redirect the discussion.

Are the Democrats going after Rove? You betcha. Why? Because from day 1 when this story broke two years ago, the initial story was that White House sources initiated the leak.Millers notes added fuel to the fire. Novak during an interview on July 22nd, 2003 said "they gave me the name". Come one, you don't think the Dem's aren't going to jump all over this? If the tables were turned, honestly, wouldn't the same thing be happening?

Rove said Plame was "fair game". What does that statement tell you? Come on it speaks volumes.

I don't know the truth. None of us do, and we may never now the truth.

Here's what has been reported in summary, in rough chronilogical order:

1) Novak's story referenced multiple White House sources.
2) Miller's story referenced multiple White House sources.
3) Miller's notes named Rove specifically.
4)Rove's story, and what his lawyer has been saying has been morphing, and changing over the last two years. Check the records yourself. It is NOT the same story.

* First he said "Plame is fair game".
* Next he said, he wasn't the leak.
* Next he said, he didn't know her name.
* Next he said, he didn't give out her name.
* Next he said, he never mentioned her name (just Wilson's wife).
* Now the leak from the Grand Jury from his testimony, he said "Novak gave me her name", or something to that effect.
* Now, there an email release, implying he was baited by Miller to release information.

Why not have a consistent story all along? Why not say when first questioned that, yes he did talk to Novak, and Novak gave him the name, that he heard it from another reporter?
That's a really simple question. Why not?

I has come down to this somebody is lying. Novak or Rove. Period.

This character assassination of Wilson is disgusting.

But, "he's fair game isn't he, just like Rove is fair game". Unfortunately, that's how Politics are played these days, and none of us like it.
