The Net Widens: A Plame Game Refresher
The more we learn about the White House's attempt to smear critic Ambassador Joe Wilson, the more high-level administration officials seem to be implicated in blowing the cover of CIA agent Valarie Plame (Wilson's wife). As the Grand Jury marches forward to an October deadline after which it most likely will announce a slew of indictments or admit that it can't make a case, it seems increasingly likely that in addition to the original crime of leaking classified information, other charges are in the offing, including perjury and (my favorite) conspiracy.
Most prominent Bush Administration officials appear to have testified before the federal Grand Jury, as well as a slew of prominent Washington corporate media personalities like NBC's Tim Russert and Time Magazine's Matt Cooper. Judith Miller, whom we have already met, is currently enjoying a stay in jail for refusing to testify before the Grand Jury investigating this case, even though she didn't write an article on the subject in the first place. Her imprisonment touched off the latest round of media interest in the case, which has jumped in and out of the spotlight since 2003, when President Bush baldly and knowingly lied to the world about Iraqi attempts to procure uranium "yellow cake" from Niger in the State of the Union address.
Every week brings new developments to this fascinating case, which will either result in the greatest case of left-wing blue balls in history or Joe Wilson getting his wish, first uttered two years ago, that Karl Rove be frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs. Personally, I'm hoping Karl's cuffs come attached to a whole chain gang leading deeper into the hallowed halls of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

If were lucky, this might set off some sort of liberal backlash to keep the bastards form stealign another election.
I thought the 2004 electoral proved that you can't just prevent someone from stealing an election, you actually have to WIN it. That is to say you have to do more than just oppose Bush (or whoever), but have to promote someone. Far too many people were only concerned with opposing Bush, I think.
The Plaaaaaaaaaammme Game!

Judith Miller - Poster child for golf balls and garden hoses every where.
I hate to say it but this whole thing is starting to smell very bloated and decayed. Knowing how Dubya operates the worst Rove is looking at is a pardon and an ambassadorship to South Africa.
I've been following the story very closely, and I think they're building a case. As I said above, blue balls, and all that, but I think they might be going somewhere with this.
Had any new thoughts on the Plame case?
