3. One encouraging point from this Sun AM news
Edited on Sun Jul-17-05 10:57 PM by ShockediSay
... the mention that the members of the Grand Jury were taking an independent interest in the case.

No wonder Dick Cheney is getting serious agita.

There's rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town
Someone blew the whistle and the walls are coming down
There's a meeting in the Whitehouse
and they're trying to trace the smell
There's leaking in the washroom there's a sneak in personnel
Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze
'Goodness gracious me, is this Industrial Disease ?'

Plagarized with attibution in large measure from Dire Straits, "Industrial Disease."

5. here's what gannon had to say about it in dec. 2003
***WARNING!!!! CONTENT FROM FREE REPUBLIC!****

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1049592/posts
The Washington Post cites an unnamed source who says, "The CIA is angry about the circulation of a still-classified document to conservative news outlets." They point to a memo referenced in a Talon News interview of Wilson that suggests his wife was instrumental in his selection for the fact-finding trip to Africa.

Talon News was the only service identified by the Washington Post as having knowledge of the memo's existence. The newspaper goes on to say that CIA officials have challenged the accuracy of the document purportedly written by a State Department official who works for the Bureau of Intelligence and Research.

Jeff Gannon, the White House correspondent and Washington Bureau Chief for Talon News declined to reveal whether he had seen the memo or had its contents described to him.

While he would not disclose his source, Gannon said, "I will tell you that the information did not come from inside the administration."

------------------

well if gannon said it didn't come from the administration then it most certainly did!

8. It would be too much to ask to see this guy worked in by Fitzgerald
revealing Gannon's acess and how a male prostitute all of a sudden got all these 'scoops'. Pillow talk from the press ringer indeed.
