Smearing the Wilsons and Sliming America
by
Larry C Johnson

How low can they go? I refer of course to the latest vitriol directed at Valerie and Joe Wilson by the likes of Christopher Hitchens and Fred Hiatt of the Washington Post, who claim that Joe Wilson, not Bush Administration officials, is responsible for destroying his wife's cover and exposing her as a CIA operative. Hitchens battle with the bottle may account for his addled thinking, but what is Hiatt's excuse? Both men perform like Cirque du Soleil contortionists in dreaming up excuses for the nutty and destructive policies and actions of the Bush Administration. In watching their behavior we see a parallel with the devotees of Jim Jones who gathered in Guyana almost 30 years ago to drink poisoned kool aid.

Response to Wash Post Editorial of 9/1/06
From Melanie Sloan, Executive Director, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington

Response to Wash Post Editorial of 9/1/06

Allegation: It is untrue that the WH orchestrated leak of Plame’s identity to ruin her career and punish Joe Wilson


According to Washington Post article of 10/12/03: “two top White House officials disclosed Plame’s identity to at least six Washington journalists.” An administration source told the Post: “officials brought up Plame as part of their broader case against Wilson . . . It was unsolicited . . . They were pushing back. They used everything they had.”


After Novak’s column appeared Rove called Chris Matthews and told him Mr. Wilson’s wife was “fair game” (Newsweek 7/11/05)


Mr. Fitzgerald, who has long been aware of Mr. Armitage’s role, stated in court filing: “there is ample evidence that multiple officials in the White House discussed employment with reporters prior to (and after) July 14, “ and further that “it is hard to conceive of what evidence there could be that would disprove the existence of White House efforts to ‘punish’ Wilson.” (Washington Post 4/7/06)

2. "I Fought the Law, and the Law Won."

Go ahead and spin, and create all the moral and intellectual confusion you think you can conjure with all your flying monkeys, and big-helmeted giant spear-carriers chanting as they guard your castle, but in the end...


They fought the law. Even though they took over the sheriff's office, and the legislature, and the territory judges, there was one thing they couldn't take over: the law. And despite controlling all the mechanisms by which the law might manifest, still: the law won.


At least, it's going to.
