I didn't realize Fitz examined WH contacts with *25* reporters >>>

That's a LOT of people! Twenty-five reporters? Holy smokes. And look who's at the bottom of the list, so to speak.

"http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Rove_Hadley_email_at_crux_of_1216.html

The Jan. 22, 2004 subpoena, one of three sent to the White House on Jan. 22, 2004, asked for administration contacts with 25 journalists. Those individuals are Robert Novak, "Crossfire," "Capital Gang" and the Chicago Sun-Times; Knut Royce and Timothy M. Phelps, Newsday; Walter Pincus, Richard Leiby, Mike Allen, Dana Priest and Glenn Kessler, The Washington Post; Matthew Cooper, John Dickerson, Massimo Calabresi, Michael Duffy and James Carney, Time magazine; Evan Thomas, Newsweek; Andrea Mitchell, "Meet the Press," NBC; Chris Matthews, "Hardball," MSNBC; Tim Russert, Campbell Brown, NBC; Nicholas D. Kristof, David E. Sanger and Judith Miller, The New York Times; Greg Hitt and Paul Gigot, The Wall Street Journal; John Solomon, The Associated Press; and Jeff Gannon, Talon News.

2. I only count 24

Jeff Gannon was incorrectly listed as a reporter.

That should be 24 reporters and 1 male escort service.

3. I think this doesn't even count most of the blatantly RW press that worked

complicitly with BushInc for the last 5 years.

Funny, how the Bush White House sure depended on alot of so-called "liberal media" to push their propaganda and their agenda.

Can the myth that there is any sort of mainstream liberal media die now?

5. Holy shit

no really. I can't believe that Gannon/Guckert is listed with that company. I guess it's because of his work on this story, mentioning to Wilson about the contents of a classified State Dept memo etc. Still though! If Fitzie is on the case of Gannon/Guckert who knows what's in store?

7. Why not Cliff May?

Cliff May wrote a piece in NRO on July 11th about Wilson, and then made an October 2003 admission that he knew about Plame in July but didn't write about it.

May went through a laundry list of Wilson's liberal "sins" in July, and took a far more partisan tone than Novak did in his story - the entire article stunk of Rove/Libby talking points. May also said Plame working for the CIA was 'common knowledge', so why the hell wasn't he on the list?

May's article was the first one I saw that 'pushed back' - TPM pointed it out the day it ran, and yet I've never once seen his name mentioned in connection to this investigation. Was he lying in October?

10. I think it is

answered in Wilson's book .... on about page 444, if memory serves me correctly. May's comments about how "common" knowledge of Plame's identity was is evidence of how far Rove and friends had spread it among administration and neocon circles, Wilson noted.

9. Don't you remember when Anderson Cooper interviewed Gannon

and they talked about Gannon having access to the CIA top secret memo and asking Joe Wilson about it during their interview?

11. I do. I'm not sure that I remembered that Fitz subpoenaed him

or records regarding him - it would be very interesting to review every email between Gannon/Guckert and the WH spin staff, esp. Rove.

12. I'm still betting the Bush White House male prostitute -- Gannon -- gets

indicted. Coming soon.
