Statement of Joseph Wilson on the sentencing of New York Times reporter Judith Miller
7 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
The sentencing of Judith Miller to jail for refusing to disclose her sources is the direct result of the culture of unaccountability that infects the Bush White House from top to bottom. President Bush’s refusal to enforce his own call for full cooperation with the Special Counsel has brought us to this point. Clearly, the conspiracy to cover up the web of lies that underpinned the invasion of Iraq is more important to the White House than coming clean on a serious breach of national (...)

Lawrence O’Donnell: Three Questions for Karl Rove’s Lawyer
6 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
I have a call in to Bob Luskin, Karl Rove’s lawyer, but I’m not holding my breath for a call back. He knows I know too much, since I broke the story last week that his client is one of the secret sources Matt Cooper has been protecting for the last two years. I have three questions for Luskin:
Q: You’ve said Rove is not a target of the investigation. Is he a subject of the investigation?
Q: Since Time delivered its e-mails to the prosecutor on Friday, have you asked the prosecutor (...) -
The Internet vs. Karl Rove
6 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
1 commentThings heated up over the Independence Day weekend regarding Karl Rove’s involvement with the leaking of a secret CIA agent’s identity. The problem is that the mainstream media is NOT touching the Rove angle with a proverbial 10 foot poll. Although there is clearly something going on here, the big shots of big media are treating Rove like he’s the most feared man in the country. It appears that the only way this story is going to stay alive is if the blogosphere keeps it alive.

Time Magazine emails turned over to a grand jury show Rove leaked CIA Operative Valerie Plame’s name to journalists after her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, went public with claims the Bush Administration knowing used false information to justify the invasion of (...) -

RE: "Spy at Center of Leak Case Still in Shadow" [July 5]
Dear Scott Shane,
You write: "the investigation into the leak of a covert C.I.A. officer’s name has unfolded clamorously in the nation’s capital, with partisan brawling on talk shows..."

Save the First Amendment — from Karl Rove
6 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
A man who taught with Rove, and considers him a friend, writes that in the Valerie Plame case, Rove is using journalists, and the First Amendment, "to operate without constraint, or to camouflage breaking the law." That’s why neither reporters Cooper and Miller, nor their publications, should protect Rove (or anyone else) "through an undiscerning, blanket use of the First Amendment that weakens its protections by its gross misuse."

The Tillman Scandal: "Newsweek" Error Bad, Pentagon Lying OK?
25 May 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
5 commentsThe Tillman Scandal: "Newsweek" Error Bad, Pentagon Lying OK? Greg Mitchell (May 24, 2005) - Where, in the week after the Great Newsweek Error, is the comparable outrage in the press, in the blogosphere, and at the White House over the military’s outright lying in the coverup of the death of former NFL star Pat Tillman? Where are the calls for apologies to the public and the firing of those responsible? Who is demanding that the Pentagon’s word should never be trusted unless backed up by (...)
