I'm guessing three
(1) Scooter Libby (prime villain)
(2) Karl Rove (perjury)
(3) a utility whitehouse insider to be named at a later date (perhaps a reporter/columnist)
nah, the buck always stops short of the Bush, he's on a mission from god.
Bushie and Cheney unindicted co-conspirators.
Dys
Op Ed columnist impersonating as a news journalist for the New York Times, Judith Miller, is up to her scumbag public betrayal eyebrows in the Plame outing. Right behind her is another scum bag, Op Ed columnist Robert Novak, who at least doesn't pretent to be a news journalist for the Chicago Sun Times.
BBB
Gannon-Guckert Going Down, ( and here I was thinking he was a top!) I predict AT LEAST four people indicted.
New Leads Temporarily Postpone Indictments
Wayne Madsen | October 11 2005
Newly-discovered leads are postponing, at least temporarily, the issuance of indictments by Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald in the CIA leak scandal. On October 9, even conservatives on the Sunday pundit programs were resigned to the fact that indictments of top White House officials are imminent.
Although the Grand Jury probe of the White House scandal has been unique by Washington standards for the relative lack of leaks to the media, there are several currents that are beginning to emerge:
1. Investigators are focusing on an email between Karl Rove and then-Deputy National Security Adviser Stephen J. Hadley that referenced a July 11, 2003 conversation between Rove and Time's Matt Cooper. In a case reminiscent of Oliver North and the shredding and deletion of e-mail in the White House PROFS office automation system during Iran-contra, there is speculation that some critical e-mails involving the CIA leak were illegally destroyed by the White House.
Then-White House counsel Alberto Gonzales informed White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card at 8:00 pm on September 29, 2003 that the Justice Department was beginning a criminal investigation of the White House over the CIA leak. Gonzales did not order the White House staff to preserve all documents, email, and memos until the next day, giving the White House a full twelve hours to destroy any incriminating documents, including email. Gonzales later claimed he delayed his order because of the late hour on September 29 -- however, the White House and its operations staff works on a 24x7 basis.
There are rumors that critical email and other documents relating to the cover up of the CIA leak and the White House Iraq Group's "work up" on Ambassador Joseph Wilson and his CIA wife may have been destroyed during the twelve hour interval between notification that a criminal probe was underway and Gonzales' document "freeze" order. If the special prosecutor determines that evidence was destroyed, obstruction of justice indictments could be issued against Gonzales, Card, and Hadley.
2. Recently discovered notes of New York Times reporter Judith Miller concerning a June 2003 conversation she had with Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby before Wilson's OP ED on Niger uranium and Iraq appeared in The New York Times, may implicate Libby and Cheney in a conspiracy to go after Wilson and his wife. Previously it was reported that the White House retaliation against Wilson and his wife was in reaction to the OP ED piece. The discovery of Miller's notes points to a possible premeditated attack by the White House on the Wilsons.
I hope this is the very first time a vice president is charged and sent to prison. This would be bad history for the Bush administration, and they deserve every word printed for our children to see and learn about how scum took over this country in the 21st century.
I wouldn't be surprised if somebody finds that the "recently discovered notes" of Miller are carefully crafted forgeries. Then, in the hoopla over that the case will break down... somebody else will commit suicide and when this is finished, Gonzalez will be a Supreme. We'll forget.
S'hard with our American media to remember why Valerie Plame was outed:
The Independent Online -- October 9.2005 wrote:Bush's principal adviser Karl Rove is to be questioned again over the improper naming of a CIA official. Mohamed ElBaradei, accused by the American right of being insufficiently aggressive, wins the Nobel Peace Prize for his stalwart work at the helm of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Pentagon official Larry Franklin pleads guilty to passing on classified information to Israel. Just a normal week in politics. But there is a thread linking these events and it is Iraq.
Politicians tell us they acted in good faith on the road to war, and maybe they did, but that leaves a prickly question: who was so keen to prove that Saddam Hussein was an imminent threat that they forged documents purporting to show that he was trying to buy 500 tons of uranium from Niger to develop nuclear weapons? The forgery was revealed to the Security Council by ElBaradei. That was not an intelligence error. It was a straightforward lie, an invention intended to mislead public opinion and help start a war.
