Former National Security Council staffer (under Johnson and Nixon) Roger Morris has developed a timeline in the leak of the identity of Valerie Plame, that puts Condoleezza Rice smack in the middle of the scandal.

She alone among senior officials was knowing and complicitous at every successive stage of the great half-baked yellow cake fraud. She alone was the White House peer—and in national security matters the superior—to Rove and Libby, who never could have acted without her collusion in peddling Plame’s identity. She as much as anyone had a stake in smearing Wilson by any and all means at hand. If Rove and Libby are to be held criminally or at least politically accountable for a breach of national security, our “mushroom cloud” secretary of state should certainly be in the dock with them

    When you look at this, it makes sense Rice is in the middle of this. More on this at Judy, Judy, Judy, (and Maybe Condi Too)

    We should start keeping track of which White House staffers and cabinet members weren't involved in the leak. Until now, Condi was at the top of the list. Hmmm. Rummy has been mostly in the clear thus far. If Judie Miller ever cracks, however, that could change...

    She's the token black. ...and watch, she'll end up being the first one killed.

    Look, basically everyone at the top level of BushCo are liars, scammers, and cheaters.. in other words, flat out criminals. they couldn't win BushCo controlled Florida in 2000 without scamming black people out of their right to vote. the American people let them get away with that gross violation and it's been totally downhill since.
