When are Dems going to make the Wilson-Yellowcake-Plame-DSM connection!?!?

[tk2kewl]

Tie it all up in the nice neat little package that it is!

I want to hear this from a prominent senator:

As special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald continues to pursue Karl Rove and others who blew the cover of Valerie Plame it is important to consider how this action relates to this assertion in the Downing Street Memos regarding Bush's justification for war in Iraq: "the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."

The outing of Plame was used in an attempt by the Bush administration to discredit her husband Joseph Wilson, who had criticized the administration's assertion that Saddam Hussein had attempted to purchase yellow cake uranium in Niger. In the end even the Bush administration has admitted that the Niger documents turned out to be phony.

Wilson's criticism of the administration's claims that Saddam Hussein sought uranium in Niger, and the subsequent outing of Plame by the White House, corroborate the Downing Street Memos' characterization that the facts and intelligence were being "fixed" to support a predetermined policy for war. Furthermore, it is clear that the White House will stop at nothing when it comes to silencing its critics, not even jeopardizing national security by compromising a CIA working to prevent the spread of WMD.

5. it should be the next letter campaign

email or snail mail or call your congressmen/women and make the connection for them, tell them to bring it to the attention of the prosecutor and call for an investigation into the administration for DSM and the Rove connection corroborating it.

7. my post is basically my last LTTE to Newsday and the NYTimes

the ones I sent were ever so slightly softer

6. Why make a connection?

Personally, I can understand how important this COULD be, but it would require the media to act in a certain, predefined manner. They would have to contradict the current WH propaganda, and they just will not do this...

But think for a moment:

The British Yellowcake conclusion was proven to be false by Wilson.

Wouldn't the RW just take this one fact and by extension dishonestly reassert the invalidity of the DSM?

8. I dont think I am following you...
