FITZGERALD, PLAME-WILSON, NOVAK AND ARMITAGE

COMPLETE AND COMPLETELY BRILLIANT ROUND UP AT JOM.

BOTTOM-LINE: IF LEAKING PLAME'S ID WAS A VIOLATION OF THE IIPA (AS FITZGERALD NOW SEEMS TO ARGUE), THEN WHY WASN'T ARMITAGE INDICTED? ARMITAGE WAS THE LEAKER. NOT LIBBY OR ANYONE ELSE AT THE WHITE HOUSE.


(THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER LIBBY LIED OR NOT DURING THE INVESTIGATION.) REPEAT:
ARMITAGE WAS THE LEAKER, NOT LIBBY.
ARMITAGE WAS THE LEAKER, NOT LIBBY.
ARMITAGE WAS THE LEAKER, NOT LIBBY.
ARMITAGE WAS NOT INDICTED BECAUSE IT DID NOT FIT THE STORY TEMPLATE, WHICH WAS THAT PLAME'S NAME WAS LEAKED BY THE WHITE HOUSE/CHENEY TO GET BACK AT JOE WILSON.

THIS STORY TEMPLATE HAS GOT MORE HOLES IN IT THAN A TON OF EMMENTHAL.

  • THOSE 16 WORDS BUSH SAID IN THE SOTU WERE TRUE THEN AND ARE TRUE TODAY.
  • CONGRESS HAD ALREADY VOTED ON THE AUTHORIZATION, (SO THOSE 16 WORDS HAD NO EFFECT AND COULD HAVE NONE ON OUR "RUSH TO WAR").
  • WILSON'S REPORT TO THE CIA DID NOT DISPROVE THOSE WORDS.
  • ARMITAGE LEAKED THE PLAME-WILSON CONNECTION TO BOLSTER WILSON, NOT AS RETRIBUTION.
THE "PLAME-WILSON REVENGE" MEME IS JUST ONE OF A HOST OF FALSE MEMES THE LEFT BELIEVES IN - LIKE:

  • GLOBAL WARMING IS ANTHROPOGENIC, AND MUST BE HALTED - AND CAN BE BY LIMITING MAN-MADE CO2;
  • GOVERNMENT REDISTRIBUTION OF PERSONAL INCOME IS THE BEST WAY TO HELP THE POOR;
  • NMD INCREASES INSTABILITY;
  • THE UN IS A FORCE FOR GOOD INTERNATIONALLY;
  • AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS IS GOOD;
  • THERE IS NO AL QAEDA IN IRAQ - AND SADDAM NEVER HAD ANY CONTACT WITH THEM ANYHOW;
  • ISRAEL AND BUSH ARE THE CAUSE OF GLOBAL JIHAD;
  • THE WEST IS THE CAUSE OF THIRD WORLD POVERTY;
  • ABORTION IS FINE;
  • NATIONALIZED HEALTHCARE IS EFFICIENT AND COST EFFECTIVE;
  • AND SO ON.

NONE OF THESE ARE TRUE. AND CONVINCING PEOPLE OF THEIR FALSEHOOD IS WHAT THIS BLOG IS ALL ABOUT.

Basic Question:

If your "false meme of the Left" concept was true, then why would Libby have lied to the Grand Jury? Simply pretending that the issue doesn't involve Libby's lies doesn't make it so.

(however, what really has nothing to do with the issue is everything else you cited (e.g., abortion, illegal aliens, global warming, etc...)

I do agree with you that more indictments should have come out of that investigation, but that list includes more than Armitage.

david;

scooter's memory of his conversation with russert is different than russerts, and russert's was proven during his testimony to be faulty, too.

i feel that he should not have been convicted. juries are not always right.

so... he did not necessarily LIE. certainly he was not the source for the leak. this is an unassailable FACT.

i do not pretend ANYTHING about libby; i believe him and disbelieve russert.

anyhow, fitz knew from day one that armitage was the leaker.

this measn that the entire episode was a fishing expedition to GEWT the WH.
