I want to open a discussion; can Obama make inroads with older women voters? I'm a white male supporting Obama, I believe he is one of the most inspirational candidates I've seen in my life. His speeches on hope and the 'yes we can' spirit, are simply extraordianry. I do hope his campaign and rheotrical acumen will equate to great presidential leadership, but the real question right now is; how does he win over Mom?

Can we add to the Plame trial myths that there was no underlying crime?

Today's Washington Post has the five myths of the Plame case

The first myth

Valerie Plame wasn't a covert operative

they rightly responds "Wrong. She was." (Unfortunately the media took too long to properly put that myth to rest)

The third myth

Libby didn't leak Plame's identity

They rightly respond he did, however they go on to say;

What is unclear is whether Libby knew she was a covert CIA agent at the time he discussed her with reporters -- a key point in determining whether this was an illegal leak.

Ugh...

With the recent developments regarding the foiled plot with Pakistani connections to blow up civilian airliners heading from Britain to the United States, I wonder why I didn't wake up to a bellicose calls from the republican party and Bush administration to widen the "War on Terror" to Pakistan? I mean Pakistan fits all the parameters of a terrorist sponsoring state worthy of American military intervention to ensure its own safety. For example Pakistan contains large areas of lawless regions that breed radical fundamental islamic beliefs and terroists, they have a nuclear weapon, they have spread nuclear technology to coutries that the U.S. has deemed threats, they harbor known terrorists such as Osama Bin Laden and Al Zawhiri within their own borders, but worst of all they have stripped the democratic political institutions in their country for the last decade. I mean its like North Korea, Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan all balled up in one.

It's got to be the email
Now hear me out

Why did Rove's email to Hadley catch Rove off guard?

All the other leaks to journalists, the admin. made about Plame, must have been owned up to in GJ testimony, besides of course Libby and Miller. But the killer leak is Rove forgot about Cooper and Time and didn't testify to that. Was he intentionally misleading or did he really forget? I'm starting to think he really forgot, but that will end up being a huge fricking mistake.

Let's back up and I'll explain

Washington post
just laid out the reasons why Libby will have to testify.

The senior White House aide was in seclusion over the weekend at his McLean home with his wife and two grade-school-age children trying, as one friend said, "to put one foot in front of the other,"

Two school age children? in seclusion over the weekend? I don't care who you are, the minute you start thinking about the welfare of your family suddenly your priorities change. Dick Cheney, I would be worried. Read More

This is so much bigger than the leaking of a name.

In this case, it's a lot more serious than baseball. And the damage wasn't to one person. It wasn't just Valerie Wilson. It was done to all of us.

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?

As you sit here now, if you're asking me what his motives were, I can't tell you; we haven't charged it.

In addition, at least six current and former Cheney staffers - most members of the White House Iraq Group - have testified before the grand jury, including the vice president's top honcho, Lewis (Scooter) Libby, and two top Cheney national security lieutenants.
Cheney's name has come up amid indications Fitzgerald may be edging closer to a blockbuster conspiracy charge - with help from a secret snitch.

Conspriacy!
Judith Millers Testimony

I recall that Mr. Libby was angry about reports suggesting that senior administration officials, including Mr. Cheney, had embraced skimpy intelligence about Iraq's alleged efforts to buy uranium in Africa while ignoring evidence to the contrary. Such reports, he said, according to my notes, were "highly distorted."

The recent revalations that "Conspiracy charges" may be in the pipe line, offer further evidence that the investigation by Fitzgerald is evolving from one focused on who leaked the name Valerie Plame to why would you leak the name Valerie Plame, an important distiction.

If Fitzgerald wanted to avoid a major scandal with himself in the center, he would have simply focused on who made the leak to Novak, but he and the judge have obviously heard disconcerting testimony in grand jury hearings that cannot be ignored by a principled man of justice.
So what have they heard, where is it going, who is going to take a fall?

A top Sunni Arab negotiator said Saturday that no agreement has been reached on the draft constitution and called on Iraqis to reject it in an Oct. 15 referendum. A government spokesman indicated talks were hopelessly deadlocked and said "this is the end of the road."

The end of the road

This was always going to be the hardest part
of the entire Operation Iraqi Freedom. I said that, the state department said that, hell even the first Bush Admin. advisers said that, including Cheney.

Well guess what, the analyst were right, you couldn't remove Sadaam without Iraq imploding into Civil War that would then destabilize the entire Middle East. Read More

Today:

Two former employees of an influential pro-Israel lobbying group were indicted yesterday on charges that they illegally received and passed on classified information to foreign officials and reporters over a period of five years, part of a case that has complicated relations between the United States and one of its closest allies.

The indictment also recasts the government's allegations against Lawrence A. Franklin, a Defense Department analyst who had already been charged with disclosing secret information about possible attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq and other topics. One of six original counts was dropped against Franklin, 58, of Kearneysville, W.Va.

Franklin, who pleaded not guilty to the earlier charges, faces up to 45 years in prison if convicted on all counts, officials said.

Do I sense leverage? 45 years in Prison?

Franklin's attorney, Plato Cacheris, said the charges were "not welcome but expected." Cacheris said he may request that Franklin be prosecuted separately from the others.

Michael Signer from Democracy Arsenal

He almost cried there at the end. Did anyone else see the corners of his mouth turn down repeatedly? Don't know what to make of that -- except he's probably less cool and collected about this than we think. I bet he's torn up. I bet this has been a hell of a lot harder than he thought it would be and he's desperately concerned about his Presidency. As he should be.
