Reader MJW posted a detailed timeline at Tom Maguire’s site on key events regarding Libby and Plame that deserves much more exposure (here is the most interesting part of the timeline to me): 01/28/03 State of the Union speech 05/06/03 Kristof column 05/29/03 Libby allegedly asks Grossman for information about Wilson’s trip 06/01/03 to 07/08/03 […]

** Update: Clarice Feldman thought I gave this story more credit than it was due, so if she was confused on my feelings it is clear I need to clarify. The story seems to be all propaganda. The only thing that gives it any credibility is the fact is this would be the kind of […]

I posted months ago on how the real leaker in the Plame Game of classified information, methods and contacts was none other than Joe Wilson. He exposed just about everything regarding our contacts and methods in Niger in peddling his lies about debunking Niger forgeries. Now Clarice Feldman comes out exposing Prosecutor Fitzgerald as a […]

A leftwing ‘news’ site is claiming Woodward taped his source’s discussion of Plame and that Fitsgerald has the tape! He is referred to as “official one” and he is the mysterious senior Bush administration official who unmasked the identity of an undercover CIA operative to Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Bob Woodward in mid-June 2003 and conservative […]

Tom Maguire has a gold mine post regarding recent filings by the Libby defense team, including more detail on the witness list – which I had pretty well covered in my list of predictions. The media names I had listed illustrated a strategy I would have pursued, which is to demonstrate how the Wilson’s shopped […]

While I would really like to see this go to trial, it will be interesting to see if Fitzgerald has the spine to take on the media firestorm coming his direction for putting all these big name journalists and their employers on the stand. Because in the end, he is the foolish one who decided […]

CJR and Walter Pincus seem to be attempting to make the case Pincus was not privvy to Valerie Plame’s role with Joe Wilson’s trip – but end up with completely conflicting claims. Tom Maguire commented on the changing story across CJR and Vanity Fair, but I want to focus on an inconsistency in the CJR […]

Update: Check out the backs of the Wilsons courtesy Mac Ranger! Our reader SBD has discovered a February 26th, 1999 Presidential Gala announcement which proves my contention that it was well known Joe Wilson was married to Valerie (Plame) Wilson since they surfed the DC power scene. That meant anyone who worked with Valerie on […]

Well, in a truly he said/she said story, it turns out Mr. Ben Bradlee is on tape alluding to Richard Armitage as the original source for Woodward, and therefore probably the original source for Novak. In an interview, Mr. Bradlee said that he had been told about Mr. Woodward’s source although he did not recall […]
