JUDITH MILLER: HEARSTED ON HER OWN PETARD
by Justin RaimondoJuly 17, 2005
When William Randolph Hearst – the newspaper publisher who put the yellow in "yellow journalism" – sent the artist Frederick Remington to Cuba in the 1890s to illustrate articles on an alleged revolt against Spanish rule, Remington and his fellow journalists ran up against a slight problem:
"There is no war," Remington wrote to his boss. "Request to be recalled." Hearst cabled in reply: "Please remain. You furnish the pictures, I'll furnish the war." <clip>
As prosecutors discover the story of how and why Valerie Plame was outed,
the names of several prominent neoconservatives are going to be listed in the grand jury's indictments, and the activities of this very well-organized and ideologically coherent group will come under increasing public scrutiny. At which point, we at Antiwar.com would be well-entitled to exclaim "I told you so!" and would do so but for the indisputable bad taste of such a vulgar display. So we'll just refer to that column of a year ago, with a minimum of comment:
"The interconnecting threads of scandal that permeate the Washington milieu shouldn't be too surprising.
Washington, the Imperial Capital, is neocon-occupied territory. You don't have to be a 'conspiracy theorist' to realize that, if you keep pulling on one thread, the whole garment will eventually come undone.
I fully expect Fitzgerald to live up to his reputation as a nonpartisan 'bulldog' who goes where the evidence takes him, and isn't averse to taking down his fellow Republicans in the process.
"Let's hope he pulls that thread hard."To those now complaining he's pulling too hard, the only proper answer is: "Harder! Harder!"

In a first-person account in the latest issue of Time magazine, reporter Matt Cooper wrote that during his grand jury appearance last Wednesday,
prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald "asked me several different ways if Rove had indicated how he had heard that Plame worked at the CIA." Cooper said Rove did not indicate how he had heard.The White House's assurance in 2003 that Rove was not involved in the leak of the CIA officer's identity "was a lie," said John Podesta, White House chief of staff in the Clinton administration. He said Rove's credibility "is in shreds."Until last week, the White House had insisted for nearly two years that Libby and Rove had no connection to the leak.
The White House refused last week to repeat its denials about Rove's involvement. <clip>

The systematic, premeditated attack on our Constitution and on humanity is 'in plain sight.'
