OK. Some Questions on the "Air Force One Memo"

[joemurphy]

1. Who wrote it and at whose request?

2. Was this the document Rove referred to in his chat with Cooper?

3. Did Ari Fleischer read it on Air Force One with Powell?

3. Was it ever declassified and, if so, when?

4. Was this passed on to Jeff "Bulldog" Gannon a/k/a Jeff Guckert? Was it the one referenced in Gannon's "Talon News" interview with Wilson in October, 2003? If so, who gave it to Gannon?

This is all getting, as Judge Hogan would say, "curiouser and curiouser"

2. Jeff Gannon interviewed Wilson in October, 2003 and

made reference to a classified document that supposedly said his wife authorized his trip to Niger. I'm putting two and two together.
The "Air Force One Memo" supposedly says this.

One wonders how Jeff and his Texas Republican front, "Talon News" came up with a classified document and used it to quiz Wilson.

I don't know for sure, but it sounds like "Bulldog" was given a copy of the "Top Secret" Air Force One Memo. I was just wondering how he got his hands on it.

If I'm not mistaken, BTW, it was in October, 2003 that Karl Rove made his only direct press reference in this case, saying:
"I didn't know her name and I never revealed her name to anybody."

3. it's the Walrus

as I said in my last posting - I really think this points to John Bolton. According to a Times article yesterday, Richard armitage requested a copy of the memo from Carl Ford of the State Dept. Carl Ford was the guy who blasted Bolton during his confirmation hearing - saying he is a serial abuser. I really think that the classified info that the White House will not release, which will answer the question of who Bolton requested information on, is the smoking gun.

The full text of it is bouncing around somewhere. I've read it but I'm having trouble finding it now.
