Bottom line? The WH tried to get revenge on Wilson for blowing the lid of the fake "African Yellowcake" story. They were willing to even out one of our covert agents to do it.
And one of them got indicted as a result.
It was criminal and cowardly and only the very strict rules on treason indictments saved some others. -
All of that has been shown to be wrong, Galatian. Repeating it wont' make it true. The story from Africa was verified by two independent commissions, which of course is old news to those interested in the truth. A covert agent was apparenlty not outed, and certainly not illegally outed.
When will you start telling the truth, even when it disagrees with your own ideas? -
They admit it.
Hardly a credible source for any subject I can think of. -

He and his wife revealed classified information . . . illegal.

There was a really interesting news story on tonight . . .
They pointed out that the liberal bloggers were continuing to post old news to continue the life of the news in order to change the political landscape . . . . -
Sounds like what is going on here often.

The Butler Commission, which was post-invasion, determined that Iraq had no nuclear programme.
Which US Commission are you referring to?
Before you condemn Fitzgerald, you might wait until his report comes out. Question is - will it come out before or after the elections? -
The indictment was for perjury, not revealing classified information. Why do you think that is? If it was classified, then it is indictable. The fact that that is not the subject of hte indictment seems to indicate that it was not classified. Going from memory here (which may not be wise, but I am too lazy to look it up), I believe that any criminal activity involves knowledge of classified status with intent. I am not sure of the exact wording. But I have also read in several places that her status was no longer classified at the time involved. Fitzgerald's indictment says otherwise, but an indictment is not a finding of fact, but an outline of charges. So I am not sure we can take that statement as gospel truth. It may or may not be true. Furthermore, there is still the report that Wilson revealed his wife's employment more than a year earlier in 2002.
As for the reports, I don't recall the two reports specifically. It is such old news that I have lost track of it. It was not well publicized at the time because it provided no real fodder to attack the administration. But it was known, and in fact was talked about here as I recall.
As we have pointed out many times, intelligence was conflicting. So it was necessary to pick a position based on all the information. Now that we have hindsight, it is easy to say we should have done things differently. But we don't have hindsight. Leaders don't have that luxury.
