(even Joe 's report shows the coming and going of officials of the Iraq government meting with producers and suppliers of uranium) but the most important thing is....... Joe him self IS the leak. The article that “reviles” the identity of a CIA agent is the direct result of an interview with Joe Wilson him self. It is less than significant to ask reporters month after the event has become common knowledge what they knew, who they knew it from, and exactly when they knew it. This has no substance, the only hard facts that are value are reporters that reported at the time. And only then if there report reviled something not reiterated from another news report. The wrap up : Joe is a man with ego problems and a need for self importance, Joe was not in the frame of mind to care about his wifes identity when he started courting cameras. And his actions antics and activity have the consequences that we now see. This case will not “win”, but the intent is not to win any meaningfully court case, it is an attempt to manipulate the election. This goal (along with the willfully participation of large portions of the news media) may bear fruit. Time will tell.
