MSNBC: White House Striking Back?
The fight over the bad information contained in the president's State of the Union address has broken out into the open. At least one former U.S. diplomat is saying he's getting smeared by the White House. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.

Glad to see they are giving this main story news. Not Kobe, not even Liberia, but the White House smear against Wilson is their top story!

1. Why is this story rated 5th??? it only has a 5.78 rating. That is
absolutely ludicrous.

4. BIG question
Did Tenet know that someone in the CIA sent the memos to the White House?

It sounds to me as though the White House had informants in the CIA. My guess is that the White House will throw them to the wolves just like Blair threw Dr. Kelley.

<<But the CIA wasn’t as careful. NBC News has learned that it sent at least two secret memos to the White House only days before the State of the Union recycling the Niger charge — even though the agency knew it was false.
NBC News has learned one memo said “fragmentary reporting” on the Iraqi attempts to procure uranium from Africa is “another sign of reconstitution of a nuclear program.”>>

5. MSNBC is the network to watch
I'm convinced of it. They're the "joke" of the industry and jokes have nothing to lose and everything to gain by going after a big, big story. Add to this story that Mrs. Allan Greenspan (Andrea Mitchell) can't be too happy that so much blame seems to be getting aimed at her husband suddenly. I can't STAND Chris Matthews and refuse to watch his show ... but he hooked me with an intro last week and he's now done 4 days of really hard-hitting shows where he has made all the repug defenders look like idiots. Buchanan and Press are forced to cover the glam crime of the day but when they get to this topic, both of them want answers. I am convinced MSNBC is the station to watch for this story.

6. That's okay. But don't forget that MSNBC puts General Electric's and
Microsoft's intrests first. Don't forget that bias as you watch.

7. Wilson on the Today show tomorrow morning.
Chimpy and his posse really know how to shoot themselves in the foot.
I mean they are just really vindictive and in your face with the "spooks". Outing them blatantly. Blaming them at every turn.
How stupid can you be?
These guys know the secrets. They have avenues to disseminate their information.
The big balls of hubris will get racked like a Friday night game of billiards.
Down with the criminal coup!


Resisting deep in the heart of Texas!
