Waiting
I owe an acknowledgement to Josh Marshall and the others who have built this site and operate it. Though I've never personally met anyone affiliated with TPM, and certainly none of its honorable contributors, I am at perfect liberty - as an ordinary observer - to set up shop under the TPM name, and that is a privilege indeed.
Moreover, don't let it be forgotten that TPM did some important work for us in the early days of this leak investigation - especially in researching and publicizing Bob Novak's use of the word 'operative'. (Here is a link to a post to refresh the memory.) But enough of the flattery...
...and back to the finger-drumming, while we go about our normal workdays, waiting to see what the special prosecutor has for us. Or, to paraphrase the left side of the blogosphere, on what day will 'Fitzmas' fall this year?
I have heard several "hints" given by Victoria Toensing and other Republican mouthpieces about Valerie Plame "outing" herself, but I just tossed that out as more disinformation. It usually came after the false assertion of Wilson claiming that "Cheney sent him on the boondoggle" and so I dismissed both from my mind. This link hints at it again.
Is it true that she told a wide (or even a narrow) group of people of her time as a NOC? If not, why does this man allude to it in such vague terms "maybe she did, maybe she didn't?" I thought that part of his essay was irresponsible. It sounds like he is saying that he heard a rumor, and it might or might not be true. Why even bother to write something that is supposed to enlighten and then repeat, with your fingers crossed behind your back, these whisperings?
He says it really doesn't matter if she gave her information out, so why did he include this unknown tidbit?
