DCCC Goes After Wilson: Take Them All Out
May a Thousand Pitchforks Rise! There's audio, so be sure to click. Or just turn on your radio, this one is going to hit the airwaves. Details:
Congressman Chris Van Hollen, Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), announced today the DCCC is running a radio ad against Congresswoman Heather Wilson (R-NM-1) calling on her to come clean about her role in the U.S. Attorney scandal. The ad will begin airing in New Mexico during drive time this morning and run for five days.
“A federal prosecutor was fired only after he refused to bend to Heather Wilson’s political pressure. Heather Wilson must come clean with people of New Mexico’s first congressional district,” Chairman Van Hollen said. “Heather Wilson owes her constituents an explanation – who called her about David Ingelias and who did she call after Ingelias refused to break the law and discuss a sealed indictment?”

PlameLibby for the Rest of Us
Joe has one of the clearest and most concise PlameLibby pieces I've read in a long time.
At long last, the fog of mystification generated by the Bush administration and the Washington media is lifting, so that everyone can see clearly why I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby is on trial and why his prosecution is important. Whether the jury eventually finds the former White House aide innocent or guilty of perjury, the evidence shows that his bosses George W. Bush and Dick Cheney have misled the public from the very beginning about the vengeful leaking of Valerie Plame Wilson’s C.I.A. identity.
The question that now hangs over the President and the Vice President is whether they lied to special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald—the same crime for which their fall guy Scooter now faces possible imprisonment and disgrace. According to published reports, the special counsel interviewed both Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney during the summer of 2004. The only way for them to dispel the suspicion that they may have lied to him is to permit full disclosure of those interviews.

President Bush told the special prosecutor in the CIA leak case that he directed Vice President Dick Cheney to personally lead an effort to counter allegations made by former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV that his administration had misrepresented intelligence information to make the case to go to war with Iraq, according to people familiar with the president's statement.
