1. Personally, I have no idea why they would open themselves |
|
up to have their lives completely examined and picked over like a dead carcass by $600 an hour lawyers.
Suing someone like Libby, Rove, and Cheney and the litigation starts, no one knows where it will end.

2. They must be pretty confident about this case. |
|
The Wilsons know better than anybody how vicious these characters can get, and I'm sure they are prepared for the slime campaign that will come.

3. Sorry but they've inadvertantly opened their lives to being |
|
picked over by $600 an hour lawyers and puke pundits. If they are compelled to do this by their wise counsel I say yay verily.
Certainly Fitz's hands were tied. What other recourse do they have?

5. They could have done something as in nothing, just continue to live |
|
their lives and let history tell the final story.
I certainly hope they have wise counsel, I'm not so sure what they have to gain.

Saddam in jail and killed his children.
He may have stood up to Saddam, but he's dealing with a whole different level of people
DC lawyers...........

but he knows that. He's been the target of Cheney, Rove, the RW hate machine for over three years.
And he will have DC lawyers as well.

10. Wow! That's a lot of fear! Maybe that's not |
|
how Wilson and Plame see it. Seems you're suggesting that they should be afraid to fight!

13. No, not suggesting he is afraid to fight |
|
Just wondering if it will be worth it in the long run for them.
Of course, I assume they have already counted the cost, monetarily and emotionally, it will be large.

14. Sounds almost like you are making a threat |
|
Ambassador Wilson is a fairly bright individual and I am sure he is fully aware of the political climate in which he finds himself. This is exactly what the courts are for. He and his family were injured by these people and he wants some justice done. He waited until it became apparent there would be none from the criminal investigation being conducted so now has to do it on his own. I wish him all the luck in the world.

12. I would rather have my life picked over than live in fear |
|
look at John Dean, after he lived a quiet life; they were not going to let him live in peace, they called him up with a vicious smear that involved his wife, inuendos about him as the brains behind Watergate. With this crew as we have seen there is no code of honor, no sense of decency, it's better to throw the gauntlet down than have people skulking in the shadows whispering your name for the rest of your life.

11. Joe Wilson stands on principle. And, I believe, that this |
|
is what he feels he must do. Kudos to him and his family!
We need more Americans like Joe!!
