RW lie that Plame sent Wilson; forged document care of GANNON.
Edited on Mon Jul-18-05 12:25 AM by LynnTheDem
Now ain't that a remarkable thang...

"The CIA officer who wrote the memo that originally recommended Wilson for the mission -- who was cited anonymously by the senators as the only source who said that Plame was responsible -- was deeply upset at the twisting of his testimony, which was not public, and told Plame he had said no such thing. CIA spokesman Bill Harlow told Wilson that the Republican Senate staff never contacted him for the agency's information on the matter.

Curiously, the only document cited as the basis for Plame's role was a State Department memo that was later debunked by the CIA. The Washington Post, on Dec. 26, 2003, reported: "CIA officials have challenged the accuracy of the ... document, the official said, because the agency officer identified as talking about Plame's alleged role in arranging Wilson's trip could not have attended the meeting. 'It has been circulated around,' one official said."

Even more curious, one of the outlets where the document was circulated was Talon News Service and its star correspondent, Jeff Gannon (aka Guckert).

1. Very interesting
Has Gannon been questioned by Fitzgerald yet?

2. I never saw anyone get as much traction from forgeries as the Repubs.
It is a wonder to behold.
