major updates below Bob Woodward just delivered a bombshell regarding the period when Joe Wilson was talking to every reporter out there, and was literally bragging in public he was the mysterious ex-ambassador – because when reporters in DC know who you are, it takes less than a day to track down your spouse! Fitzgerald: […]

Addendum: Now we have Glenn Kessler who was on the phone with Libby regarding Wilson and no mention of Plame. Evan Thomas up as well today, no mention of Plame. So, we have Miller as a maybe Libby mentioned Plame, Cooper saying Cooper brought it up, Russert a “no”, as are Woodward, Novak, Walter Pincus, […]

Fitzgerald’s case is hanging by a thread before defense even begins. Clearly what happened late ast week is the judge decided to dismiss a key portion of the obstruction charge, putting the entire indictment on this count at risk. From the liberal Firedog Lake site we can see the concern about losing the Miller angle: […]

The Libby trial is about to explode into new and fascinating territory this week as we finally get to see the Libby defence team shred Fitzgerald’s already tissue thin case. I am suspect of the idea Russert and NBC screwed themselves up by denying they had any former knowledge of Plame before Novak’s column, but […]

For those on the left who have forgotten, Iran declared war on the US and the West in the late 1970’s, when Carter allowed Islamo Fascists to take out one of our ‘imperfect’ allies (no leader in the ME has clean hands, we just need to monitor HOW dirty the hands are). Could the Shah […]

It is going to be a strange and dynamic year, I can tell already. The Democrats are facing challenges on all their lame promises (Christopher Reid will walk if Edwards is elected, Global Warming is here, there are no al Qaeda in Iraq, etc) and the Reps seem totally in disarray as the centrists come […]

Australia’s Prime Minister Howard said the obvious today: al Qaeda would really love for Barack Obama to win the Presidential election in 2008 and hasten the surrender of the West in the ME. Howard has every right to make this statement since he has put his military forces into harms way to fend off the […]

Fedora over at Free Republic has posted an investigative tour de force regarding Valerie Plame. I just want to add some of my thoughts and insights to some of his commentary and guesses. 1.. What did Valerie Wilson aka Valerie Plame do at CIA? …Isikoff and Corn state that following a maternity leave, Valerie Wilson […]

Not surprising to me is the fact two Chechen have been arrested in the murder of journalist Anna Politkovskaya: Two Chechens are reported to have been arrested on suspicion of killing investigative reporter Anna Politkovskaya. The pro-Kremlin daily paper Komsomolskaya Pravda reported that the men were detained following an analysis of photographs from military satellites […]

There are signs there is a shift in the Litvinenko story, a shift that has media reporting starting to distance itself from the assassination claims of Litvinenko’s ‘friends’ (or one could just as easily call them ‘business associates’). This first article is interesting in that it takes elements of the assassination theory, clearly associates these […]
