1. So it isn't about football?

:-)

Already watching. :bounce:

[scarletwoman]

2. I hope folks will post some play-by-play

I'm going to have to miss it. It's been pre-empted locally, and I can't stay up late enough to catch it -- gotta get up for work in the morning... :-(

[Cush]

3. just doing background info

on Wilson and the War

[grytpype]

4. Good show.

Nightline is putting the Plame Affair in context with the Niger Connection. Schweet.

[Cush]

5. News Consulant (to ABC)

She was an undercover agent......

ABC Legal Reporter says this kind of leak is 'unusual'

[Cush]

6. WHo was the leaker?

Was it Rove? White House says no

[Cush]

7. The White House is counter attacking

their plan is to attack Joe Wilson

[Cush]

8. Wilson up next

[Cush]

9. Wilson...

IF she were an analyst, it wouldn't have been referred to the Justice Dept

I did a lot of work in Africa, esp Niger. I had credibility with their government.

[grytpype]

10. Wilson is telling EVERYTHING!

Holy living shit!

[frank frankly]

11. details!!!!!!!!!!

[coda]

12. Wilson: The notion of my wife being just an analyst.

If it were so, Justice wouldn't need to look into it.

His wife didn't call the CIA asking them to send him to Africa.


At his first briefing, he mentioned he was skeptical
but with all intel, it is standard op to be skeptical.

[Skip Intro]

13. Man, he looks so at risk from the BFEE here

It just hit me, like a brave dragonslayer or something.

Good Lord, this man is BRAVE.

A David to the fat Goliaths.

We owe him much, as I see it.

I hope he does not fly. I hope he has bodyguards.

Damn, what a gutsy patriot.

[Cush]

14. hmm

Just a lot of background

Now talking about the Seattle "incident"

"I was probaby to caught up in the moment, but it was in response to a question"

[coda]

15. Four star General drew same conclusion

Nothing to the claim.

[coda]

16. CIA reports directly to the Whitew House

The leaks came from the White House


Carl Rove called people saying Wilson's wife was fair game!!!!!!!!!

[aquart]

29. Rove has always been legally challenged.

US laws mean nothing to him.

[Cush]

17. Political Office in the White House

People need to look there

A week after the Novak article, reporters were calling may saying that "Rove has been calling reporters and saying that your wife is fair game"

[Cush]

18. more

If the FBI were to aks for my help, I'd be there....I would reveal the names of the reporters who called me

[Cush]

19. Political aspects

THe Caucus invited me, so I'm going. I'd go to GOP if they invited me

[aquart]

20. Did Joe Wilson just say he would reveal names of reporters

who called him and told him Rove had contacted them?

Did I hear that correctly?

[coda]

21. He'll give the names of the reporters if asked.

In my case I will give everybody's name who called me.

I'm meeting with the Democratic Caucus yes, but if the Repub Caucus wants to meet with me I'll be more than glad to.

[Kool Kitty]

22. Wilson just said it-

"A friend of mine called me and said, 'I just got off the phone with Karl Rove and Rove said that your wife was fair game'." Un-fuckin' believable.

[LizW]

27. And big surprise

Bush lied about it to the press.

[dweller]

28. Blingo!!

i think i just hit the trifecta...

Bush/Watergate, history replays self.

25. What Wilson also said is that Journalists who Hide the name of the leak

are acessories to the crime of Treason! And that they don't report it
are acessories to the crime!

Wilson has all the evidence! There doesn't need to be a investigation lets prosecute now!

[kayleybeth]

26. Damn

"I know that Karl Rove was telling reporters my wife was fair game".

This keeps getting worse and worse for the white house. What kind of person would do such a thing? I can't say I'm surprised. As Carville would say, "These people are DESPICABLE. Despicable, I tell ya."

[madfloridian]

30. Check out the Nightline forums. They are calling Wilson names.
