Interesting story on how the attack dogs of the right wing are trying to intesify the smear on Joe Wilson. Because the kool-aid drinkers can't get beyond the fact that the Mayberry Machiavellis play politics with National Security, they just continue to attack Wilson instead of demanding accountability from the 1600 Crew. Right, like that's gonna happen...
Two GOP attack dogs (who are regular pundits on FOX and have been published by Regnery, the nutty GOP publishing arm) are now trying to spread a lie about Joe Wilson, saying he revealed to them in a casual conversation in the Green Room at FOX News in 2002 (a year before Novak outed Valerie Wilson) that Valerie worked at the CIA.
Oooh, shift colors baby...the Swift Boat Prevarication Crews are underway! I'm waiting for either one or both of these two flag officers to go in front of the Grand Jury and repeat their stories without the advice of counsel and all the questions coming from Patrick Fitzgerald...I wonder how long they'd last?
Interesting note: in the letter from Wilson's lawyer, he uses the phrase:
"... Ms. Wilson's secret CIA identity ..."
several times...the word "secret" while entirely accurate, seems to lend an almost cartoonish cast to the whole thing...sort of James Bond-ian. Why not start changing it to "Ms. Wilson's protected CIA identity", which implies a lack of protection of many things by being revealed: Ms. Wilson, Our Country and National Security. Seems like just more of a home-run word in this coming battle of redefining "is".
A man who faced down Saddam with a noose around his neck brags like a 17 year old boy? Sure. And I hope those 2 generals have to face Fitz and share a cell with Libby.
