So Why Did BushCo & Libby Let Judith Miller Sit In Jail?
And what was the motivation for releasing her from the confidentiality....were they trying to end the ongoing investigation or what?


Remember that corny "Aspens are turning?" letter from Scoots to Judy? Do ya think that was when they decided to make Scooter Pie the fall guy?

Now that Scooty is a CONVICTED FELON, I find the whole story even more fascinating, trying to remember all the other weird stuff that went down!

1. The bottom line is that we all know what the WH did
and why they did it (to destroy the Wilson's) The genie is out of the bottle. Why certain people took the fall (Miller, Libby etal is anyone's guess-but I don't think the outcome was what they thought it would be. DUers and other progressive sites were WAY ahead of the MSM on this one-and I think we know the reason for that as well.

2. Oh yes, I was told it was a "non-story"
that "noone would remember" by one RW wacko....now screaming "everybody" does what Scooter does, huh???

They always immediately go to "everybody does it" every time they're wrong about their heroes (and they're ALWAYS wrong about them.) Jeez, what a bunch of Moonies the remaining 27% are. They seem to have lost all reason at this point!

5. Not only that K8
What was the REAL reason the WH went batshit over a op-ed by Amb Wilson? Weren't senior members of Poppy Bush's Admin (Brent Scowcroft comes to mind) VERY vocal about their reservations re the Iraq invasion prior to March '03? Was Wilson simply the easiest target? For the love of pete, FAUX News is still slandering him to this day. I want justice for Joe and Valerie Plame Wilson and today was the first step-may their civil suit be successful!!!

6. That Civil Suit Is Gonna ROCK AND ROLL BABEEEE!!!
Joe Wilson always looks so articulate and unafraid when he's interviewed....by contrast the BushBots are hysterical, losing it, just repeating talking points. I have so much respect for the Wilsons. They really did take on The Mob when nobody was doing it, they're heroes in my book!

4. I think that the whole bunch are so utterly incompetent that
ascribing any sort of ulterior motives to the what & why are a mistake. They probably didn't know what to do about Miller & it just dragged on & on. Everything that happens to bush & co now days is a result of the miscalculation that the occupation of Iraq would go smoothly. Nobody would care about anything if Iraq had been the success they thought it would be.

8. Well, in the tradition of "It's A Wonderful Life" when James Stewart rants
at Uncle Billy:

"Somebody's going to jail!! Well, it's not gonna be ME!!!!"

9. To get the media riled up about against Democrats about "source protection".
Edited on Wed Mar-07-07 07:56 AM by WinkyDink
To divert attention from the fact that it is illegal to knowingly protect sought-after criminals.
