Oh come on, shit, we all know it goes right to the top. It ain't just Rove or Libby, Dick and W were the main instigators, and if anyone believes anything different you are just ignorant fools. W has a history of petty vindictiveness and general assholery, just talk to Judy Woodruff and her husband. These fuckers are scum, with apologies to scum.

Posted by at July 22, 2005 12:03 PMPerjury, obstruction of justice, conspiracy -- and that's just on the cover-up.
I'm going to be very disappointed in Fitzgerald and his investigative skills if all he comes up with are the crimes of the cover-up.

Last night Mike Malloy of Air America mentioned, in connection with this story, that Al Hunt had left the WSJ to become an editor at Bloomberg. As I recall, Hunt was the sane one in WSJ's Op Ed page. Interesting.

Posted by peter at July 22, 2005 12:26 PMThanks for this one Steve...Rawstory indicated that Bloomberg was going to break this story last evening...just another nail in the coffin...I thought that Digby had a very insightful piece entitled Scandal as a Metaphor on his blog yesterday..a must read....the walls are cracking and the sump is seeping for the Admin....in this case retribution is sooooo sweet!

[Editor: ignore=off]Check out this diary on kos. It chronicles the story of the forgeries, and will blow your mind. Oh, I hope Fitz is looking into this stuff!
Posted by iamcoyote at July 22, 2005 01:52 PMIntegrity was taught to you as an important value in the military. Apparently these civilans have none. Why has no one in the democrat or republican side requested for an impeachment. These openly scandalous actions by the administration and staff should be enough to start an impeachment investigation. This is worse than the watergate and white water scandal.
Republicans who claim to have values, seems to be missing "values" when and where it counts. Selective Values is what they are suffering from. Pathetic.

BUSH FIGHTING HARD TO KEEP ABU GHARIB PICS FROM PUBLIC
Posted by The Truth at July 22, 2005 02:25 PMI was wondering if I would ever have to hear the disgusting Ari Fleisher's name again. But perhaps this wasn't the sort of post-employment notoriety he was hoping to capitalize on!

Finally, something that starts to make the Italian connection make sense!
Posted by Matt Davis at July 22, 2005 07:35 PMNon sequiturs, Steve. For all we know, Judy Miller is protecting Colin Powell.
Posted by Toby Petzold at July 22, 2005 10:11 PMI suppose that's possible Toby, but Powell sure has been carrying on lately seemingly without a care in the world, and Powell had the necessary security clearance. Bolton has almost disappeared. Rove and Libby are putting up a good front, and Fleischer has almost gone underground.
Novak was given immunity by Ashcroft just before Ashcroft turned the case over to Fitzgerald, so Pussy Bob doesn't care what happens to others, even Miller.

That's news to me. I thought Ashcroft recused himself from the whole thing.
