Hot off the Lucianne presses:

And as was speculated on Rantburg so many years ago:

There are an amazing number of French fingerprints all over the Plame-Wilson affair. While it is not easy to penetrate the dark fog of lies, there is a highly consistent pattern pointing to French government involvement with a Watergate-style assault on the American Presidency, fronted by Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV.

In 2002 French intelligence forged the notorious document claiming that Saddam tried to obtain Niger uranium. The Italian middle man,Rocco Martino, later confessed to French involvement in open court. Rocco Martino might sound like a small-time mafia hood from the Sopranos. Actually, he works at times for Italian military intelligence. The truth about the French connection came out when Martino confessed in court that the French had given him the forged document to peddle to various intelligence agencies. The Italians and French have had a furious war of words ever since then about who was responsible for the forgery.

#6  Fitzgerald may not but Scooter Libby's attornies may. That's the nice thing about the adversarial system that the Brits will give up when they join the EU. Kiss presumption of innocience and your own defence attorney good bye.

#5  The specifics of Joe Wilsons little excursion are so far outside the norms of CIA excurions, that the whole affair stinks of pre-planned mischief.
Does Fitzgerald have the balls to drag Wilson and Plame in for a going over ? What about the lie detector ? Or, is Fitz in on the scam ?

#4  I e-mailed my Senator yesterday, citing questions about Wilson and Plame, and suggesting an investigation of that side of the scandal.

Wade thru -http://www.townhall.com/action/contact_congress.html and you, too, can complain to your Senator - or anyone else in Congress!

#3  Does Tim Russert's wife work at Vanity Fair?

Was she involved in the photo shoot?

#2   a Watergate-style assault on the American Presidency

Wrong image. Watergate was entirely Nixon's people shooting themselves in the foot (feet?). Under normal circumstances, this could well be considered an act of war on the part of Chirac's government.
