I think Fitzgerald slipped up at the press conference yesterday and revealed something "outside the four corners" of Libby's indictment. He said (emphasis added):

And as you sit back, you want to learn: Why was this information going out? Why were people taking this information about Valerie Wilson and giving it to reporters? Why did Mr. Libby say what he did? Why did he tell Judith Miller three times? Why did he tell the press secretary on Monday? Why did he tell Mr. Cooper? And was this something where he intended to cause whatever damage was caused?

Or did they intend to do something else and where are the shades of gray?

Notice that he uses singular ("Mr. Libby" and then four repeated uses of "he") for facts alleged in the indictment, but plural ("people" and "they") when he raises the issue of motive. I admit I'm stretching here but might his choice of plural when he speaks to motive have betrayed his suspicions of a conspiracy?

In the extended I grow this thread into a net around our President of Vice. Follow me... Read More

A recent diary by dadanation titled 1968 -- the 143-day roller-coaster contained a reference to Walter Cronkite's broadcast that some say was the tipping point in the American public's support for the Vietnam War:

February 27: walter cronkite closes his special broadcast resulting from his trip to vietnam following the tet offensive who, what, where, when, and why? raising considerable doubt over the government's credibility regarding what the american people have been told about the efforts in vietnam. his closing remarks specifically question the manner in which the US can and may leave vietnam.

I've been thinking about how we have no Cronkites now, and what would Cronkite say today if he were anchoring the 6 o'clock news? Read More
