This reminds me very much of the Valerie Plame fiasco which was a witch hunt, pure and simple, against a Bush aide to sidetrack his career and cause massive legal costs. What we do know is that Prosecutor Fitzgerald knew on April 10th of 2005 that Richard Armitage was the one who leaked the Plame name, but Fitz knew where his bread was buttered and began a paper/scissors/rock game of trying to trip up an Administration higher-up just to keep media-whore journalists cooing his praises.

n the end, the whole enchilada appears to be that Joe Wilson, a State Department has-been so obsessed by his own vanity that he outed his own wife and who a year earlier said uranium was sought by Iraq in Africa before he said it was not sought by Iraq, was used as a cheap, throwaway dirty trick by the Kerry campaign to dupe lazy pseudojournalists from the NYTimes, Newsweek, WaPo, Time, and NBC, which led Senate Democratic politics-is-a-dirty-game-players like Chuck Schumer, to push for a rabid, unfettered special prosecutor like Fitzgerald, who, in a previous life bested by attorney Scooter Libby, then broke all the DOJ rules in fruitless a hunt to bring down Dick Cheney, and whose investigation immunized the wrong people and didn’t follow up the simplest leads that would have lead to Richard Armitage, the original leaker of non-covert operative Valarie Plame Wilson’s identity, who likely leaked Plame’s relationship to several journalists because of a turf war with the CIA, an organization that, like State, also has leaked like a sieve whenever the bureaucrats disagreed with the administration, and that, like State, has yet to be held accountable by the equally irresponsible Department of Justice.

Whew, got that out in 2500 words or so….! Long story short, the persecution of the right by the left through “PROCESS CRIMES” and “STYLISTIC FAUX PAS” continues to this day in a brushfire war of nastiness which reflects the Euroleft’s [and the American left desperately aping its betters] need to keep the journalists’ eyes off their own silly missteps. In the USA, the wheel of fortune is turningon more time…!
