SubscribeWaPo Finally Admits “Plamegate” Was A Fraud
Someone has captured the editorial board of the Washington Post and replaced them with semi-rational people:
End of an Affair
It turns out that the person who exposed CIA agent Valerie Plame was not out to punish her husband.
Friday, September 1, 2006; Page A20
WE'RE RELUCTANT to return to the subject of former CIA employee Valerie Plame because of our oft-stated belief that far too much attention and debate in Washington has been devoted to her story and that of her husband, former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, over the past three years. But all those who have opined on this affair ought to take note of the not-so-surprising disclosure that the primary source of the newspaper column in which Ms. Plame's cover as an agent was purportedly blown in 2003 was former deputy secretary of state Richard L. Armitage…
It follows that one of the most sensational charges leveled against the Bush White House — that it orchestrated the leak of Ms. Plame's identity to ruin her career and thus punish Mr. Wilson — is untrue. The partisan clamor that followed the raising of that allegation by Mr. Wilson in the summer of 2003 led to the appointment of a special prosecutor, a costly and prolonged investigation, and the indictment of Vice President Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, on charges of perjury. All of that might have been avoided had Mr. Armitage's identity been known three years ago…
Nevertheless, it now appears that the person most responsible for the end of Ms. Plame's CIA career is Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson chose to go public with an explosive charge, claiming — falsely, as it turned out — that he had debunked reports of Iraqi uranium-shopping in Niger and that his report had circulated to senior administration officials. He ought to have expected that both those officials and journalists such as Mr. Novak would ask why a retired ambassador would have been sent on such a mission and that the answer would point to his wife. He diverted responsibility from himself and his false charges by claiming that President Bush's closest aides had engaged in an illegal conspiracy. It's unfortunate that so many people took him seriously.
It's funny, but I don't remember the Washington Post ever saying that "far too much attention and debate in Washington has been devoted to her story and that of her husband, former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, over the past three years."
But now it’s:
“Never mind.”
Still, it's nice to see the DNC’s house organ, the Washington Post, be the ones to put last nail in this totally fraudulent story.
But where pray tell is the Post’s demand for Patrick Fitzgerald's head?
All of that might have been avoided had Mr. Armitage's identity been known three years ago…
Excuse me, but it wasknown by Mr. Fitzgerald — from the very start. That is the real crime here.
Armitage is guilty of being a gossip. And maybe a coward. But Mr. Fitzgerald is guilty of prosecutorial misconduct of near Nifong-ian magnitude.
Armitage and Fitzgerald should both go to jail. But Fitzgerald should get the longer sentence.
Let’s see just a little of that self-righteous outrage from the Post that they heaped upon Ken Starr for actually doing his job.

“…one of the most sensational charges leveled against the Bush White House… …is untrue.”
next thing the Wa Post will be endorsing George W. Bush and the Iraq war.
September 1st, 2006 at 3:16 am
When will we see the retraction mentioning that right-wing hackers somehow broke into their systems and published the “editorial”?
September 1st, 2006 at 4:12 am
“next thing the Wa Post will be endorsing George W. Bush and the Iraq war.”
The Post did endorse the Iraq War at one point. (Before they were against it.)

Heh, Ikolo just said Cynthia McKinney is high.
What the heck is a daughter of the soil???
September 1st, 2006 at 8:33 am
Ikolo won’t be soiling this site any longer.
September 1st, 2006 at 9:05 am
That means Ikolo wont get a tatering from those of us who missed it’s sorry ass. SG! sometimes ya gotta remember the sport we get from hacking the “ikolos” to shreds. Just a suggestion, but couldnt you leave a moron up for about say, 48 hours, allow us to feed, and then remove the whole thing? I need my beauty sleep…..so it is difficult to catch all the troll esque bottom feeders…..and I usually miss them by the time I drag my exhausted carcass out of bed.
I realize that may require too much crap to do it, and that pesky bandwidth problem too. But, like last night, S&L wasnt available at all! I thought you got hacked or sumptin.. Ok, off to work for another splendid example of when good capitalism goes bad.
September 1st, 2006 at 9:06 am
Cant we soil Ikolo for a while first?

Makes no difference if they admit they lied.
To the MSM and the LLL’s it is fake but accurate and that sums up the definition of the word “truth” to the “reality-based community”.
You know I am really beginning to think that if we have another major attack from the Islamofascists in this country (G-d forbid!) that these people will truly go insane. I mean to the point where they will have to be institutionalized because they have become a danger to themselves and others.
The human brain can handle only so much illogical and repressed thought before it cracks. They have, in essence, been telling themselves that the sky is red, the ocean is yellow, the sun rises in the west and sets in the east and the world is flat for 6 years even though their own senses tell them otherwise.

Can we have a class action suit against the special counsel and the Democrats who called for the special counsel for this frog-march fantasy?
I’m tired of my tax dollars going to loser investigations - the 9/11 commission, this special investigation of Valerie Flame-out, etc. I want to sue to get my money back. Think the ACLU will take the case against the Democrats? crickets….
Where’s the news about the upcoming ABC specials about what really happened about 9/11. Ol’ Billy boy is sweating bullets about its content. Can’t wait to see it.
September 1st, 2006 at 5:04 pm
Of course nodems they aren’t going to talk about it, try really hard to get it ‘edited’ and so on. Typical of the LLL/dems these days - can sit on Fox and call a former Coalition Provisional Authority member a little eichman or fuher or whatever but when republicans and conservative blogs print the truth, all hell breaks loose.
A fake movie (subliminal persuasion) about the assassination of President Bush is ‘thought-provoking critique’ but the Path to 9/11 is probably never going to be shown or so trashed beforehand it won’t get any credit other than on conservative blogs. Even now only conservative sites are even mentioning it.
So sad, the ‘party of tolerance’ is so intolerant it is destroying itself. Oh well, TGIF.

our oft-stated belief that far too much attention and debate in Washington has been devoted to her story and that of her husband, former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, over the past three years.
I read this as:
“Since we can’t blame this on Bush anymore, we’re not interested.”

Where the hell does the left get the crazy cajones for nut job stuff like this:
From the Toronto International film festival:
Film title: D.O.A.P. (Death of a President)
Executive Producer: Robin Gutch
Producer: Gabriel Range, Simon Finch, Ed Guiney
Screenplay: Gabriel Range, Simon Finch
Cinematographer: Graham Smith
Editor: Brand Thumim
Production Designer: Gary Baugh
Sound: Alex Riordan
Music: Richard Harvey
Principal Cast: Hend Ayoub, Brian Boland, Becky-Ann Baker, Michael Riley-Burke, M. Neko Parham
An unknown gunman assassinates George W. Bush. A couple of years later, an investigative documentary is made. It features all the people involved that fateful day: the protestors outside a Chicago hotel; the suspects in the shooting and their families; the Secret Service men who failed to protect their charge; the press; and an array of experts, desperately seeking meaning in this horrible act of violence. We learn, agonizingly, what happened to America… after the death of a president.
This is easily the most dangerous and breathtakingly original film I have encountered this year. Director Gabriel Range’s 2003 project The Day Britain Stopped – which asked what might happen if Britain’s transportation grid was suddenly halted – was his first experiment with this style. He assembles a vast array of media, manipulating and subtly altering it to act as a continuous background illustration of falsified history – and then employs the conventional, after-the-fact style of History Television and its ilk as narration.
But it’s a long leap from Britain’s trains to a gunned-down Commander-in-Chief. Range is up to the task: collaborating with some of the finest special effects wizards in the world, he inserts his characters seamlessly into existing footage. His narrative is also airtight. Cautionary tales are too often flights of fancy; as they push the envelope of credibility, the lessons gleaned from dark speculation become somehow tarnished. Not here. Every moment is completely believable, every comment is somehow appropriate – to the point of chilling, horrifying certainty.
As one might expect, Range is ultimately interested in addressing today’s political issues through the lens of the future. Xenophobia, the hidden costs of war and the nature of civil liberties in a hyper-media age all come under the microscope. The film is never a personal attack on Bush; Range simply seeks to explore the potential consequences that might follow from the President’s policies and actions.
It is the very technique of D.O.A.P., finally, that poses the most haunting questions of all. Not only do we feel the authenticity of mass media imagery slipping away, but Range suggests that his manipulation is merely a more radical example of what we encounter every day.

From the WashedPost:
“WE’RE RELUCTANT to return to the subject of former CIA employee Valerie Plame …”
(translation: “We fell for it.” - just like Joe Wilson claimed the US Govt. did regarding Nigerian yellowcake. “So, we want all our readers to feel reluctant to revisit this story. The story dies here… cause we say so!”)
“…because of our oft-stated belief that far too much attention and debate in Washington has been devoted to her story and that of her husband, former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, over the past three years…
(translation: “We didn’t, but if we tell this lie often enough, we believe our readers will believe it”)
“It follows that one of the most sensational charges leveled against the Bush White House — that it orchestrated the leak of Ms. Plame’s identity to ruin her career and thus punish Mr. Wilson — is untrue.”
(translation: “Man, that WAS FUN!” We got to blatantly besmirch high officials in our government, got a good man fired, stained the office of the Vice-President, threw mud on Carl Rove… and there is nothing anyone can do about it because we are protected by the constitution. Oh well, the party’s over… dang, shut it down…”
“The partisan clamor…”
(translation: “It’s still the GOP’s fault, because we all know the GOP are the only one to engage in partisanship. The Democrats are never partisan - they are protestors, they are the minority, they are the dissenting voice…”
“…that followed the raising of that allegation by Mr. Wilson in the summer of 2003 led to the appointment of a special prosecutor, a costly and prolonged investigation, and the indictment of Vice President Cheney’s chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, on charges of perjury.”
(translation: It’s a shame that we put so much faith in Joe Wilson. He seemed like a smart, honest fellow - heck, he is a former ambassador AND an Bush-hater; that should be enough credentials to trust his word as gospel (it has in the past with other folks). Too bad about Scooter Libby - he’s probably still guilty of SOMETHING, anyway. We just want to make it clear that it was Joe Wilson, not Us, that threw the allegation (in case Scooter Libby is mad about his false indictment).
“(Joe Wilson) diverted responsibility from himself and his false charges by claiming that President Bush’s closest aides had engaged in an illegal conspiracy.”
(translation: Once again, we find it important to point out that Joe Wilson, not Us, threw these false allegations (in case Scooter Libby is mad about having his job falsely taken away…)
“It’s unfortunate that so many people took him seriously.”
(translation: We fell for it. Oh well, no one expects us to get the news exactly right, anyway. I mean, c’mon - the weathermen rarely get it right, and people listen to them. News is only infotainment, anyway - there is no such thing as truth; it’s all subjective.If we use the words “so many people”, we can deflect any heat that may come down if people start looking into our overall coverage of the War in Iraq, the reasons the Allies went to war, the build-up to the war, Weapons of Mass Destruction inside Iraq under Saddam Hussein, the groups behind the anti-war protests, etc… Hopefully, our readers will now look at this episode as good, clean fun (like we do), and will be ready to cheer the next scandal that we create.”
—-
I know, call me a cynic - but I really believe that if there was a sincere penitent attitude from the Washington Post (and the Media, in general), they would want to make aright what they got so wrong. They would subject Joe Wilson and Richard Armitage and themselves to the same cries of Treason, the same besmirch of character, the same vitriol of verbal violence that they heaped upon the President, the Vice-President, Carl Rove, and Scooter Libby, et al…
But they won’t. This story is closed in thier eyes. And they wonder why their readership doesn’t trust what they print…

Rmy-mac in a very dark disturbing place that most adult, educated human beings don’t go even on their worst days.
This is sick and what worries me most is that some lunatic out there will take it as a workable plan, instruction from above - you know carry it out.
And then hide behind insanity, the ‘twinkie’ defense or whatever nonsense some slick lawyer can come up with.
September 1st, 2006 at 6:04 pm
Nice post Arctain, kudos.
The MSM and LLL sites have been awfully quiet concerning this “Plamegate” death knell but I knew it wouldn’t last long. The Kos Kids have taken an overdose of Kool-Aid and one of our favorite story fabricators has weighed in. It’s none other than Larry C.”I’m a Moonbat” Johnson, and his “cognitive dissonance” is showing through;
http://www.dailykos.com/storyo.....62135/3059
I still can’t stop laughing after reading it, a few gems to whet your appetite;
“How low can they go? I refer of course to the latest vitriol directed at Valerie and Joe Wilson by the likes of Christopher Hitchens and Fred Hiatt of the Washington Post, who claim that Joe Wilson, not Bush Administration officials, is responsible for destroying his wife’s cover and exposing her as a CIA operative. Hitchens battle with the bottle may account for his addled thinking, but what is Hiatt’s excuse? Both men perform like Cirque du Soleil contortionists in dreaming up excuses for the nutty and destructive policies and actions of the Bush Administration. In watching their behavior we see a parallel with the devotees of Jim Jones who gathered in Guyana almost 30 years ago to drink poisoned kool aid.”
I don’t think it’s Hitchens and Hiatt whom are drinking the “Kos Kool-Aid” there Larry, LMAO…!!
“We are forced to revisit this nonsense because we have now learned that in addition to Libby and Rove, Richard Armitage also was shooting off his mouth about classified information. Regardless of Armitage’s role as an initial source for Novak, we are still left with the fact that Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, and Scooter Libby abused their power and were actively engaged in a coordinated effort to discredit Joe Wilson for his behind the scene efforts to alert the public to the falsehoods in the President’s State of the Union address.”
Still LMAO..!!! It’s still the evil BushCheneyRoveLibbyHalliburton’s fault, they outed Ms. “Secret Agent”.
“Perhpas [sic] the new attention on the Plame affair will fuel public support for accountability in government. The gang of political thugs currently in the White House refuse to be held accountable for anything. With the help of enablers like Fred Hiatt and Christopher Hitchens and others in the main stream media, it is no wonder that Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld skate from disaster to disaster, oblivious to the field of debris left in their wake.”
Must stop laughing……Bwa…haahaahaahaa..!!!! The MSM is in collaboration with the WH..??
Oooohhhh, my sides hurt..!! And the final gem;
“In smearing the Wilsons, Bush and Cheney also are sliming America.”
This is too much….I can barely type now…LMAO..!!! Bwaa…HaaaHaaahahaa!!!
September 1st, 2006 at 6:45 pm
Thanks for the Kudos, Gila :)
““How low can they go? I refer of course to the latest vitriol directed at Valerie and Joe Wilson by the likes of Christopher Hitchens … Hitchens battle with the bottle may account for his addled thinking…”
So exactly who is engaging in vitriol? oh brother!
“… dreaming up nutty and destructive policies and actions of the Bush Administration.” riiight… Defending America is ‘nutty and destructive’ to the folks that think China, North Korea, Chavez’s Venezuela, Cuba, and the old Soviet Russia are the idyllic ‘workers paradise’. They think that gassing your own citizens (Iraq), stoning people to death in the name of religion (Afghanistan, Pakistan,Ethiopia and anywhere else Sharia is the law of the land exists) putting people into prision for anti-government thinking (Cuba, China, North Korea, Venezuela, to name a few of their halcyon habitats) is a wonderful system! . Heck Cindy Sheehan got off light for her traffic violations - in Syria, I think you get your hand cut off (not sure - I’d have to check with my local mullah, may he ever be prostrate).
These people, if they weren’t so loud and shrill, would make me laugh a LOT more! :)

Er, is that the same Lary Johnson who said Rove was so horrible for “outing” Plame it was no wonder his mother committed suicide?
The same Larry Johnson who defended (maybe provided) Jason Leopold’s “scoop” about Rove’s indictment?
Hitchens will be sober in the morning.
Larry Johnson will still be insane. (And incredibly stupid.)

Damn SG, just ruined another keyboard with beverage spew…LMAO!!
Amazing how they can delude themselves into thinking their “conspiracy theory” is still legit.
September 1st, 2006 at 8:14 pm
“Hitchens will be sober in the morning.”
“Larry Johnson will still be insane. (And incredibly stupid.) “
ROFL!!!
Actually, they do make me laugh - now that I think about it, the louder and more shrill they get, the funnier it is! Of course, I have no more stones to throw at them than I do parapalegics. But since they claim to have a brain - and are annoying intent on attempting to use it - their sophmoric and banal insistance that this is colusion between the Washington Post (the Washed-out Post, for pity’s sake!!!) and the White House is just too silly to not laugh at! Next thing you know, they’ll be spouting off that Arabic verbiage on T-shirts shouldn’t make you stand out when you try and board cross-country airplane trips… oh wait… :)

This is where a tater stick comes in handy. Every time Larry insists that the plame crap was a conspiracy…whonk! But, but, it is!! Whonk! They’re out to get me! Whonk!….then, whonk whonk whonk whonk….until larry finally realizes that it will stop, only when he does. Dilusional people will only believe what they see inside the vacumn of their skull….WHONK! I only wish to let a little light in. Through the multiple cracks. and remember….Larry is only one of many.
September 1st, 2006 at 8:40 pm
SJ keep working that tater stick until it comes back as a bloody stump… Not only is Larry still whining but believe it or not Jason “drug addicted plagerist” Leopold has a story on truthoutthedoor today. He’s doing the same as Larry - well Cheney and Rove were still out to get Joe Wilson, blah blah blah…
Someone else needs that tater stick SJ and quick!
BTW - The WaPo was reluctant? There were over 512 hits for Plame on a WaPo search. The only thing they are reluctant to do is apologize to all the good people that have had their lives turned into a living hell by the likes of this Liars Club.

Al , my neighbor, 6′ 5″ 250 could shut him up with just one Whump.

September 1st, 2006 at 8:52 pm
Hey 1st! Tell him I will send him my extra hard Hickory ass whupper~!! It is used for real thick skulls that need tenderizing…..Larry would be a great poster child for “this is your brain in Larry’s skull” photos….with what is left of Jason laying in a heap in the background.
But!!!! This is classic liberalism! Repeat repeat repeat until people just believe it. when it is exposed as a huge trumped up lie…..repeat repeat repeat repeat….and soon, they will forget the expose’! Liberals know this works…because the Democratic party has people in it! They vote! They will vote us into a world war this time too….but repeat repeat repeat….should be replaced with Whack…Whonk….Crack….Pop…..gurgle……Whack…..whonk…crack….pop….gurgle……as each lunatic perpetuating the lie gets tuned up, and sent for “medical leave” in an intensive care of the survivor’s choice.
I cannot abide stupidity attached to an ability to transmit same stupidity as fact. That is wrong. I have seen goats with more intellect, and a place in society they understand. Then, after that, Democrats….then….snag esque jerks like jarbrain and the deserter d jour. Screw em. Tater Time~!!

Speaking of the major media outlets.
Dan (Make the story up) Rather had his special on tonight.
Did I watch, Hell no, But I did see from 60 seconds of channel surfing that he was the most important man in human history, If not for him no one would have know about the moon missions.
Maybe I should have watched more just to see him break his arm patting himself on the back while stabbing every American in theirs.
What a self congratulating coward and asshat.
September 2nd, 2006 at 12:02 am
Here’s the “Paper Of Treason,” the New York Time’s preposterous contortions on this subject:
Of course The Times knew Fitzgerald knew.
NYT: Leaker Doesn’t Work In White House | Sweetness & Light
http://www.sweetness-light.com.....-next-week
It didn’t take much reporting, since it was in all of the briefs Fitzgerald filed even before the incarceration of Judith Miller.
How utterly laughable. There is absolutely nothing illegal or even untoward about doing this.
The Times reporter is desperate to spin this somehow. And he can’t.
The Times is practically as culpable as Fitzgerald. And we know they only maintained this lie for three solid years because of their unrelenting hatred for the administration — and the country in general.
September 2nd, 2006 at 3:12 am
From the same NYT piece;
Unbelievable.
Criminal.
September 2nd, 2006 at 12:51 pm
maybe Fitzgerald is aim to kill the special procecutor act, or maybe he’s just incompetent.
September 2nd, 2006 at 1:08 pm
Patrick Fitzgerald is guilty of prosecutorial misconduct. He is wide open for dis barment, and should be. What he did amounted to little more than the scab knee attorneys who sue anyone for anything and ruin lives without any thought to the consequences of their actions.
He needs to be imprisoned for what he did. There was no crime, no law broken, nothing. But, people have had to defend themselves against his witch hunt and scramble to protect anyone they know or love from this modern day Torqemadah. Fitzgerald is a great example of why lawyers are detested so much in this country. He breaks the law, and skates. He is above the laws he is sworn to uphold. Libby’s obstruction charges pale in the face of Fitzgerald’s shredding the Constitution, and obstructing actual justice in his zeal to discredit the Bush administration.
Someone needs to tie his hands behind his back, and duct tape firecrackers to his winky, and let him try to stop them from doing damage. That is what he did to all the people who needed to defend themselves against his baseless charges. He, is a candidate for the “tater stick”.
September 2nd, 2006 at 2:41 pm
Did Fitzmagoo waste taypayers dollars? Yep.
Did Fitzmagoo go on a witch hunt? Yep.
Did Fitzmagoo know that Plame was not even covert or covered by the law protecting covert agents? Yep.
Did Fitzmagoo deliberately lie when he gave his press conference and said Libby was the first to reveal Plame’s name? Yep.
Is Fitz guilty of prosecutorial misconduct? I would say yep.
But you are missing the most important fact in this whole relevation about Armitage.
COLIN POWELL KNEW ALL ALONG WHO LEAKED PLAME’S NAME TO NOVAK AND WOODWARD.
Colin Powell, who was Secretary of State at the time knew. Colin Powell, who was adamantly against Bush’s plan to invade Iraq, knew. Colin Powell who was not a team player and wanted to run State HIS way, knew. Colin Powell, warrior, hero, stateman, KNEW THE TRUTH AND LET OTHER PEOPLE TAKE THE FALL.
This was dirty politics at it’s worst. Not only that, it is shameful behavior on the part of a man who represented the best in our military. He was out to get even and he did. I wonder how he would respond if someone asked him how he feels knowing that Scooter Libby is broke because of legal fees. I wonder how he would respond if someone asked him why he allowed the administration to take such a hit and still remained quiet.
I used to wonder why Stormin’ Norman Swartzkopf never talked about Colin Powell when they had worked together so closely during Desert Storm. When Powell was appointed by Bush, Stormin’ Norman was quiet. Nothing, nada, nil, nix about how happy he was for Powell or what a good job Powell would do. Stormin’ Norman knew. He knew the true Powell.
Armitage is a jerk. But he was told by Fitzmagoo to keep quiet. Powell had no such order but the Wilson/Plame circle jerk allowed Powell to get even for the crimes he felt Bush had committed against him. Powell is the biggest jerk of them all.
And remember who has hired Richard Armitage as his campaign’s foreign advisor: John (I’m John Kerry’s best buddy) McCain. Maybe someone should tell McCain that the city of Podunkville is looking for a dog catcher. But then, he lays down with dogs, not catches them.
September 4th, 2006 at 12:08 pm
So when President Bush finally gave the OLD MEDIA scavengers what they wanted, admitting a mistake, he said he made some mistakes on some of his assignments, but he wouldn’t say who.
Now everyone knows who he meant: Colin Powell.
