"Looks like I may have been right about Rice"

Back in July I speculated that Condoleezza Rice may be at the center of the Wilson/Plame leak. Now it seems like that speculation may, in fact, have been right on. While she is denying her role - the fact that she feels compelled to offer a public defense today should tell us something: namely, the sharks are circling around her and her former deputy, Stephen Hadley.

If the Times of London today is right and Hadley was Woodward's direct source, that raises a very important question: Was Hadley ordered to leak Plame's name to the press by his boss at the time, Condi Rice? In other words, Rice may not have been Woodward's direct source as she claims - but that doesn't mean she didn't give the order. Remember, as I wrote back in July, Wilson's New York Times op-ed was a direct indictment of Rice, meaning she had a personal motive. And it would be extremely hard to imagine Hadley acting alone with such a coordinated hit job on a CIA officer...Stay tuned.

1. And, Rice doesn't do a damned thing on her own...

she checks with the chimp first. If Hadley was ordered by Rice, then Rice was ordered by Bush. The next year is going to be one hell of an interesting time----Democrats better be prepared with a better plan. If we are, we will be in power for the next 50 years.

6. We Need a Plan to Keep the Election from Being Stolen Again

It doesn't matter how far ahead we get in the polls. They can steal it.
We saw that in Ohio less than 2 weeks ago.

We have to find some way to stop them from stealing elections!

8. They'll keep throwing flunkies out as the leakers

but we all know this is a rigid hierarchy and that none of these people will wipe their noses unless Dick Cheney tells them to first.

2. They're protecting her

They know that rice is the only person in America that stands a chance of beating Hillary. So they'll do anything to keep her nose clean

7. Pure sci-fi unless voter faud is not addressed.

3. Murder on the Orient Express (spoiler)

A perplexing case where it appears everybody had motive and opportunity. The question was - which one?


And it turns out - they all did.

4. Of course she's in it up to her eyeballs

They ALL are! No one in the MSM wants to say conspiracy, but it's there! These people think and act as one.

5. Knowing that Woodward only talks to the "top" people ...

it just has to be Bush, Cheney, Rice, Tenet, Rumsfeld, Powell or somebody on their level. Woodward did not deign to talk to "underlings". He supposedly talked to GW for several hours. And we know that Powell was one of his chief sources. Also, Rice and Rumsfeld. Whoever it is ... it's a biggie. Someone that couldn't come forward with this information during the investigation.

I just pray it's someone with prior testimony on the record.

9. But she's a concert pianist

So it's impossible that she was involved in such shenanigans. :sarcasm:
