Bad Bob Woodward

Isn't it something that all of a sudden everyone knows that Valerie Plame worked for the CIA except that FBI and the prosecutor, Fitzgerald. Now the speculation is maybe Libby didn't lie to the grand jury, maybe this whole thing was just another set-up by the puppet masters and their puppets,the Democrats. What was Fitzgerald's job, really? Two years he worked on this and all he could come up with was a tangle of one persons memory?

Bob Woodward says he knew about Valerie two years ago. He won't say who told him, but I think I know. I think it was Joe Wilson. This was no big deal until the election last year when Joe thought he could really pull one over on the Bush administration by dropping the hint that his wife was CIA to the right people and that her cover was compromised by someone who had inside information. Novak never did say who his source was. hmmmm Woodward?

You know, why was it such a big deal to start with if everyone already knew she was CIA and not covert???

According to many reporters and other illuminaries in Washington, a lot of people knew where she worked and what she did there. Last year it was reported that her neighbors knew that she worked at the agency. Funny thing when the FBI asked them this year for the grand jury investigation, they had no idea.

I think Joe peddled his wife's job status in the CIA as a means to gain attention. I think he told so many people in the past that now he can't remember who he told. But really it doesn't matter how many people knew who she was or worked for, it's all about how much damage they can cause the President.

The whole thing was a sting operation from the beginning. Rogue agents in the CIA, along with Valerie, worked out the details and then put it in motions. They had nothing to loose. If it didn't work, so what, it would just be a dead item in some file. But if all of the lies and misinformation took hold, well then, that was another story.

Well, we all know how it turned out, Joe's stories were all fantasies right from the Demofantasy manual. He lied to everyone and the CIA knew that the media would eat this stuff up and they wouldn't check to see if it were true of not. It never matters if it's not true, it just has to hurt George Bush.

The New York Times dumped Judy Miller because she had the mark of cane on her with her flirtation with the conservatives, i.e. Lewis Libby, but what are they going to do with Bob Woodward now that he has blown the lid off the Libby case - Bobby is a big deal at the Post - will he be asked to leave? -

As the story goes, he's writing a book on this stuff so he decided he wasn't going inform his editor about this Plame thing because he was using it in the book - that' a big no-no in the news room.

Excuse me, but this all sounds like bad ethics to me, not that he was ever a tower of moral integrity, what reporter is, but maybe the following says more clearly what Bob had in mind for his editors, 'It's all about me and the money'.
