Connecting the Dots: Why Plame case is important

The so-called "journalists" of the broadcast media - and even the print media - are not properly covering the implications of the Libby trial, and Plame-gate in general, so I will attempt to connect all the dots for our loyal listeners and readers.

The Iraq war has been in the making for years; the PNAC people really started banging the drum for Iraq in March of 2001 with an op-ed in The Weekly Standard, and right after 9/11, Paul Wolfowitz of PNAC was calling for America to skip Afghanistan and go into Iraq!

PNAC wanted the Iraq war, and the administration was working with PNAC, so the Iraq war was bound to happen.

The administration decided to use forged Italian documents claiming that Saddam had tried to purchase uranium from Niger. Our own intelligence concluded that the documents were fraudulent; they were provided by Rocco Martino, a Italian intelligence agent. The problem is, though, Vincent Cannistraro, formerly of the CIA (during Reagan), has said the documents were originally produced in America and funneled to Italy!!! Bush, of course, included the famous 16 false words in January of 2003, right after Bush was told the Italian documents were a fraud, and knowing the results of Wilson's trip to Niger, which was made in 2002.

His trip resulted in the famous Wilson op-ed published in the New York Times and various papers in July 2003.

Shortly after this, Plame's name started being leaked.

More to come...
