So while Tenet fell on his sword because of the yellowcake nonsense, the false statements made by Libby and Rove to Fitzgerald kept their involvement sufficiently hidden from the public until after the election. It worked - Plame was never really a campaign issue. Their loyalty to their leader was commendable.

A few more festive pictures for the new posts. Because this is the second Fitzmas in one year, and there may well be a third and fourth.

Jane, Christy et al: Your continued work and presentation on the Plame case has been so important.

I stand in awe of your abilities. But most of all, I am so completely grateful for your perserverence.

This is probably EPU’d, but ….like I said, it’s been a long work day and this is where I end up.

Grateful, in admiration, and vowing to take back my America from the whores to deceit like Rove, Bush and their ilk. Somehow, I do not think I am alone.
