On or about June 12, 2003 - the day Cheney was pushed over the edge
On or about June 12, the following article came out:

CIA rejects blame for Bush's Iraq uranium claim
By Jim Wolf WASHINGTON THU JUN 12, 2003

The CIA rejected any blame on Thursday for the use of a faulty intelligence report by President Bush as he built his case for war against Iraq

A spokesman, Bill Harlow, voiced confidence that "a careful reading" of documents supplied to congressional oversight committees would show the spy agency "did not withhold information from appropriate officials" about Iraq's purported attempt to buy uranium in Niger.

The Central Intelligence Agency , he said, had shared hundreds of pages of material with the panels looking into charges, from lawmakers and others, that the administration and the intelligence community oversold the weapons threat to foster public support for ousting President Saddam Hussein .

The latest challenge to the CIA involved a claim in Bush's State of the Union address that Saddam had been trying to buy "significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

On or about June 12, Cheney decided to retaliate against those in the CIA who dared to risk their lives and their jobs to expose Cheney's lies and who dared to tell the truth.

On or about June 12, according to the indictment, Cheney told Libby that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA's counter-proliferation division.

On or about June 12th, Cheney set the wheel in motion to get Plame and her cohorts at the CIA, to shut them down and put them out of business. He no longer had any other choice.

4. I know someone
who went to Harvard and was 'recruited' back in the 60's. I asked him that question a couple of years ago and he assured me that there certainly was a war going on inside the agency.

5. New story in the Washington Post that Bob Woodward testified
under oath this past Monday:


In a more than two-hour deposition, Woodward told Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald that the official casually told him in mid-June 2003 that Plame worked as a CIA analyst on weapons of mass destruction, and that he did not believe the information to be classified or sensitive, according to a statement Woodward released yesterday.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/15/AR2005111501857.html?nav%3Drss_politics/administration&sub=AR

I do believe that this is connected and confirms my speculation about Cheney and the events of June 12, 2003.
