Central source to summarize Treasongate (aka Plame Outing aka CIA Leak)
Is there a main source on DU with summary info & data on Treasongate (aka, the CIA Leak scandal)?

The reason I ask is that I would like sourced information that I can throw together for a Letter to the Editor (LTTE). I have the fanastic 9 or 10 page Waterman Papers PDF on my home PC, but I don't have the time to go through and summarize that for a 150-250 word LTTE. The Waterman Papers are also over a year old, so do not take into account recent developments.

Bullet points are also helpful if I call into to my local talk radio show after work – the afternoon drive time hosts are left of center (Colin McEnroe & Bruce Stevens on AM 1080 in Hartford, CT)

The summary info would be helpful, because I am sure that if indictments are handed down and made public, there will be a media & political firestorm so big it will make Katrina, Rita & Wilma combined look like a breezy summer afternoon. You will hear Fox News, Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly, Savage, Boortz, Ingraham, etc all screaming non-stop 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Additionally, you will have CNN, the Washington Times, NY Post, CBS, ABC, NBC, etc. picking up on and amplifying the screaming and further extending it. I am sure they already have dozens of op-ed pieces and hundreds of LTTEs ready to go as well. It will get to the point where 80% of America will start believing it was maybe Valerie Plame, disguised as Monica Lewinsky, who was giving Bill Clinton a b/j and that maybe it was a revenge-for-impeachment plot to frame conservatives dating back to Bill & Valerie's torrid affair in the Oval Office. Since, after all, if you're a Republican, everything bad can be traced back to Bill Clinton through 6 degrees of separation.

3. I used it this morning for a fellow American expat in the UK
Where there is apparently no media coverage as yet... I figured I couldn't really explain it to well myself, and certainly not in a concise way, plus they have links.... I guess I am just lazy... haha

Anyway, it seemed okay this morning.
