What about Traitorgate?

This thing is moving to the back pages. This is unacceptable!! There is a traitor in the White House. Please call or email your reps and media organizations and ask them to get to the bottom of this.

1. Seems to me

The "top administration official" who was talking to the Washington Post isn't going away. Neither are people like McGovern and Johnson. I wrote to everyone on both intelligence committees asking for an investigation. IMHO, Bush shrugging yesterday and saying, "We'll never know who the leak was," made a mistake. He's asking to be investigated.

3. Bush said he expects the ethics of the media to hide sources - so

they have their marching orders.

And our media does a right wing lock step so very well.

2. Arnold has relegated it to the backburner for now

But it should be front and center again soon.

The post has a big article on Plame today, its even on the front page. OF course, it's under Arnold....but at least its the front page

5. Thanks for that

This is encouraging.

Dana Priest: I'm so sorry that I couldn't answer more questions, there are so many---most about the leak investigation. One thing is certain, the story will have changed by next week--so "see" you then. Best, Dana

6. Thanks, Cush

I, too, wonder who the "mole" is who outed the leakers to the Post. Maybe that person will have more revelations to deliver next week!

7. Why is WH deciding what will be turned over to DOJ?

I read today that WH attorneys are going over fthe info just turned in and are deciding what is relevant and what will be turned over to the DOJ. The article said the WH didn't want to inundate the DOJ people and it would take about two weeks to get through the material and send it to the DOJ.

Also what hasn't Ashcroft recused himself and what happened to this issue?
