[lanlady]

Number in the hundreds??? Can you spell s-t-o-n-e-w-a-l-l?

WASHINGTON - The FBI (news - web sites)'s first task in the investigation of a leak that disclosed the name of a CIA (news - web sites) officer is to narrow the list of government officials who may have known her identity, a number that could be in the hundreds.

1. There is a coverup going on

The White House is using all its favors to turn the tables on this to make it seem like "not a big deal".

I suspect that someone is going to turn up dead shortly, A felony was committed and the WHite House is responsible...

2. It does sound like a stonewall

but is dragging this out good for the admin.? I'm not sure it is.

5. You're so right

Stonewalling is not the intelligent way for Whistle Ass to deal with this. The smartest thing is to identify two flunkies who feel a compelling need to spend more time with their families, fire them, and pardon them if they're prosecuted.

This week I am sending letters to all members of the House and Senate intelligence committees, and to Schumer. If people aren't named, and soon, we must have a special prosecutor or open congressional hearings.

6. The spin, imo, is "Political Witchhunt."

3. Sorry we are going to need a name

Okay so 100's may have known she was an agent. Cut out anyone who is not in the White House, then cut out those who are allowed to speak with the press, then cut out anyone who is not a senior official....there is your pool to investigate.

4. Sounds like they're reinforcing an incredible loophole.

So if the Republicans want to discredit someone who is undercover, all they have to do is bring the name up in idle cocktail chatter to out them, and that's all it takes?

7. That's okay...the CIA has more damaging info to unload...

...and the more the Bushies dig in their heels, the worse it's going to get.

8. Definite stall/coverup

team? narrow list of hundreds?

Just call the CIA, they probably have the tapes.

9. Hey, if they want to charge hundreds of Administration officials ...

great! ;-)

No investigation will have any chance of credibility unless there is an independent special prosecutor named.

10. The more the time elapses the More Guiltier the WH looks

Coverups are always how they are caught
