Can we impeach? Bush can settle CIA leak riddle, Novak says
Edited on Wed Dec-14-05 02:03 PM by cal04
Can't we do anything to them :grr:

Newspaper columnist Robert Novak is still not naming his source in the Valerie Plame affair, but he says he is pretty sure the name is no mystery to President Bush. "I'm confident the president knows who the source is," Novak told a luncheon audience at the John Locke Foundation in Raleigh on Tuesday. "I'd be amazed if he doesn't."

"So I say, 'Don't bug me. Don't bug Bob Woodward. Bug the president as to whether he should reveal who the source is.' " It was Novak who first revealed that Plame, the wife of former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, worked for the CIA. Wilson had angered the Bush administration when he accused it of twisting intelligence to exaggerate the Iraqi threat before the war.

Disclosing the identity of a CIA agent is illegal; the disclosure set off a furor in Washington, resulting in an ongoing investigation by a special prosecutor and the indictment and resignation of Lewis Libby, the chief aide to Vice President Dick Cheney.
Woodward, a Washington Post editor, recently disclosed that he, too, had been told by an administration figure about Plame's secret identity -- probably, he said, by the same source who told Novak.

Novak said his role in the Plame affair "snowballed out of proportion" as a result of a "campaign by the left." But he also blamed "extremely bad management of the issue by the White House. Once you give an issue to a special prosecutor, you lose control of it."

3. The DC media all knew BEFORE the election that Rove leaked and Bush knew
it, too.

They chose to promote their 'Rove and Bush are heroes' storylines throughout 2004 instead of telling the VOTERS the truth about the WH outing of a CIA agent.

4. Novhack, Miller, Woodward, (the other Novack), Cooper etc. etc.
Edited on Wed Dec-14-05 02:05 PM by LeftNYC
all make me sick. It is so twisted to see how journalists in this country are so in bed(literally in Miller's case) with govt. Its a complete blurring of the lines, what is propaganda and what is not.

5. I wouldn't piss on nofacts if he was on fire
Or any other of the slimy creatures whose names have came up in this mess. Can we impeach? Yes. Will we? No.
Not until we've turned out the current class of traitorous dogs that inhabit our government.
