Award Winning Truthteller Joseph Wilson Calling for a New Investigation!

Joe Wilson Calls on ‘Post’ to Name Woodward’s Source
NEW YORK Joseph Wilson, the husband of outed CIA operative Valerie Plame, called on Thursday for an inquiry by The Washington Post into the conduct of reporter Bob Woodward … . Wilson told Reuters that The Washington Post should reveal the name of Woodward’s source, and conduct an inquiry to determine why he withheld the information for more than two years from his editors and the federal prosecutor.

Well, the name of the source has been revealed, but not by the WaPo, but by “The Raw Story”.

National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley was the senior administration official who told Washington Post Assistant Managing Editor Bob Woodward that Valerie Plame Wilson was a CIA officer, attorneys close to the investigation and intelligence officials tell RAW STORY.

Testifying under oath Monday to Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, Woodward recounted a casual conversation he had with Hadley, these sources say. Hadley did not return a call seeking comment.

Woodward said he was told that it was “no big deal” that former Ambassador Joseph Wilson was sent to Niger to investigate the veracity of the Bush Administration’s claims that Iraq was seeking uranium from Niger. According to the attorneys, he said Hadley dismissed the trip by saying his wife, a CIA officer who worked on WMD issues, had recommended him.

military, war, Democrats, United States, Bill Clinton 11:57 am

Rules from the Democrats’ Playbook:
Take a stand on both sides of every political issue and you will always come out a winner! For example, if the war in Iraq succeeds, former President Bill “Wily” Clinton will proclaim himself the hero, tauting his “Iraq Liberation Act of 1998″. In the words of Bill Clinton in 1998:

“The United States favors an Iraq that offers its people freedom at home. I categorically reject arguments that this is unattainable due to Iraq’s history or its ethnic or sectarian make-up. Iraqis deserve and desire freedom like everyone else. The United States looks forward to a democratically supported regime that would permit us to enter into a dialogue leading to the reintegration of Iraq into normal international life.

“My Administration has pursued, and will continue to pursue, these objectives through active application of all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions. The evidence is overwhelming that such changes will not happen under the current Iraq leadership.”

If, on the other hand, the United States military fails us in Iraq, former President Bill Clinton will still be the hero, as he will remind one and all of his poignant words to Arab students that the United States made a “big mistake” when it invaded Iraq, citing the lack of planning for what would happen after the dictator was overthrown.

November 16 2005, DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - “It was a big mistake. The American government made several errors … one of which is how easy it would be to get rid of Saddam and how hard it would be to unite the country.” His response drew cheers and a standing ovation at the end of the hour-long session.

The former commander-in-chief of America’s armed forces explained that the present military leaders of his country are implementing flawed strategy. “The mistake that they made is that when they kicked out Saddam, they decided to dismantle the whole authority structure of Iraq. … We never sent enough troops and didn’t have enough troops to control or seal the borders … the terrorists came in.” Clinton said it would have been better if the United States had left Iraq’s “fundamental military and social and police structure intact.”

UPDATE: “American Daughter” was inspired to pen a bit of verse to go from the Joni Mitchell tune of her song “Clouds” - just for our Wily Clinton:

He’s argued this from both sides now,
From left and right and still somehow,
It’s Bill’s is…is we still recall,
He never tells the truth at all.

Hollywood, news, Bill Clinton, scandals 11:12 am

He’s in the slammer now, after police discovered hand grenades, C-4 explosives, and more than a million pages of wiretap transcriptions in his office. When was it that we last about this Hollywood private investigator Anthony Pellicano? Oh that’s right, during the “rollicking good times” ’90s. He was the Clinton’s personal private investigator of their scandals.

Pellicano describes himself as “sin eater”— but most of Hollywood knows him as “dirt digger”. He is the savior for celebs, the politically well connected and the wealthy. If you have been wondering just what was on all those tapes that the Feds confiscated during the Clinton times, just keep on. We will probably never know as the private eye was eavesdropping on both the District Attorney and the police. See “Feds Keep DA In Dark About Celebrity Investigator’s Probe“. We probably will not discover the dirt that is on the current million pages either, as …

CBS Whacks Pellicano Exposé.
Hollywood insiders expect the second round of indictments in celebrity private eye Anthony Pellicano’s case to be the criminal equivalent of the Oscars. But don’t expect to hear too much about it from CBS News. Sources say the network recently killed an in-depth investigative special on Pellicano, whose former client, Brad Grey, is chairman of CBS sister company Paramount.
