Joe Wilson's Wife

NYT is reporting:

George Tenet, then-director CIA, told Dick Cheney that Wilson's wife worked at CIA.

Dick Cheney told Scooter Libby on June 12, 2003.

Notes of the conversation "contain no suggestion that either Mr. Cheney or Mr. Libby knew at the time of Ms. Wilson’s undercover status or that her identity was classified".

"It would not be illegal for either Mr. Cheney or Mr. Libby, both of whom are presumably cleared to know the government’s deepest secrets, to discuss a C.I.A. officer or her link to a critic of the administration."

There has been a lot of leaking of grand jury proceedings in this case. But, I guess it's NOT criminal if the NYT benefits from the leak with a splashy front page headline: "Cheney Told....".

Notes of the conversation conflict with Libby's testimony that he first learned about Ms. Wilson from journalists. That's the hot water for Libby.

How long will it take the attack dog speculators to spin this one -- who else did Cheney tell. Think about it.

The administration is smart enough to strategize to answer a critic, but not stupid enough to knowingly out an undercover CIA operative.

It's time to dispense with the waiting game. Fitzgerald needs to either poop or get off the pot. If he has a case against Libby, Rove, and/or others lying, obstructing justice, or whatever -- then get on with it.

I, for one, am sick of Judith Miller, anonymous sources, and grand jury leaks about investigating leaks.

When are all the chicken sh*t, leaky lawyers and confidential sources going to go on the record with this stuff? Oh, that's right, it's CRIMINAL to go on the record about grand jury proceedings. I'm sick of reading about grand jury leaks in the Washington Post and New York Times.
