BREAKING: GOOD NEWS IN PLAME CASE!!!

By DC Insider Posted in Comments (33) / Email this page » / Leave a comment »

My sources are relaying to me information that may be very good news re: the Plame Case.

Although I cannot substantiate this info 100%, I am receiving this from sources very close to the investigation and grand jury:

  1.  No indictments for Rove, Libby or any member of the administration.
  2. Pobable indictments for Vallerie Plame, Joseph Wilson and one as yet unknown high ranking Congressional Democrat.
  3.  No wrong doing or misuse of intelligence on the part of the administration.
  4.  Possible criminal conduct in an attempt to smear the White House on the part of Congressional Democrats,  Plame and Wilson.

(Again, take this with a grain of salt but this is what I am hearing from my sources and the D.C. grape vine)

Wow - you don't say!

This sounds fishy by Buckland

There will be no indictment against Wilson or wife. Just not going to happen.

It would be great if Rove and Libby dodge the bullet, but this sound like somebody is leaking with their heart not their head.

yea right by patrickhenry

Wishful thinking

I don't think by Cadwalj

Doubt this is a serious diary, serious rumor, or serious source.

Aside from that, break out the champagne!

Somebody by Cadwalj

Call Clayton, Thomas or Leon - cleanup in aisle 3. Not much credibility in this poster's history.

My sources tell me by flyerhawk

that the Congressional Democrat is Harry Reid.  Oh and that there is breaking news that Nancy Pelosi really is an alien.

I knew it! nt by James OK

can't we dream by patrickhenry

 anyone from D.C. to Alaska can consider themselves an inside souce on the internet.

source has said so far.  I'm going to need more salt for this one.

Sure by Cadwalj

Just note that this diary is pushing web crack or whatever your hallucinogen of choice is.

Skepticism by DC Insider

Your skepticism is totally understandable...I too was skeptical when I received this tid bit earlier today.  Lets just say that anonimity was important and that in the end we will know if this pans out or not, but my sources were pretty upbeat.

I actually heard one other related piece of info that was unbelievable and quite ironic but I could not substantiate it and left it out completely.

But whatever the details my sources were extremely upbeat and confident to the point of giddy.

that this post looks suspiciously like a previously banned moby.

You have no history here, are basically anonymous, and your sources are equally anonymous, and even better they are "DC Insiders"!

Let's go for the hat trick - are their sources anonymous officials too?

PS - any idea where Judge Crater is?

Here they are, shaking hands, nonetheless

Which gives me opportunity to needlessly segue into one of my favorite Simpsons episodes:

"Abortions for all!"

(Booooo!)

"OK, Abortions for none!"

(Boooo!)

"OK, Abortions for some... miniature American flags for others!"

(Yeaaaaa!)

entangled in this diary, arm flapping in a beckoning jesture?

This gives me an idea by Perspective

How about a website that gives stories that completely abandon any pretense of reality.

www.yournews.com

Program in your personal, professional, and political criteria, and preto, custom fitlered news in just one palce.  PLUS, you can extend it to the "Yes Men" section, where numerous folks will tell you how great you really are.  If you care to provide diary details, they can even customize it.

"Have I told you enough this week how cool your project presentation was?"

This idea has GOT to be a winner in today's me-obsessive society.  Any thoughts?

Yes! by Cadwalj

I think you're on to something. Wouldn't you agree?

For the "The Onion" -- America's Finest News Source

That's already on its way -- you're a couple of years behind the curve.  Google News already allows a certain amount of customization based on categories of news that you'd like to see, but I can easily see that being extended.  You can also get Google News alerts based on specific keywords.  And if you know how to program your computer...well, there's basically nothing that you can't do to block out things you don't want and filter or prioritize the rest.  [Note:  Walker's filter is designed to help his spam problem, but there's no reason you couldn't turn that inside out and use the Google API to create a frontend that would filter the news of the world in exactly the way you want it.  In fact, derivatives of that idea are exactly what people are continuously working on.  See Feedster.]

In one sense, blogs like DKos and RedState and Atrios Eschaton are already highly filtered.  The difference on the good sites, like RedState, is that the contributors read the opposition and link to them as well, and also hopefully have enough variability in their personal and intellectual tastes that the site overall reflects a wide range of views, although presented in a way that definitely has a political point to make.

People filter their news all the time within the conceptual framework they share.  Law professors, for example, may read blogs from time to time, but certainly pay more attention out of their limited time budget (one would hope!) to articles published in law reviews, books by other legal scholars, etc.

It reminds me a little of the old saw about the definition of a specialist:

Specialist:  n. spe·cial·ist:  Someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know absolutely everything there is to know about nothing.

And if you'd like to read some comments that are related to your concern about information aggregation, have a look at Cass Sunstein's guest blogging over at Lessig.org.  How's that for disaggregating the conservative point of view right here on our own turf?  :)

We may just have that on our faces if he turns out to be telling the truth...I don't believe it either but just maybe...!

It's only satire by itrytobenice

or sarcasm, or plain ol' Mobyism.  

But isn't it a shame that what will be the result (probably Libby hung out to dry) should be satire and what should be truth (the prosecution of people who leak classified data) is satire.  Sigh.

I am inclined by Leverkuhn

not to believe this "good news." However, if I'm wrong I will come back here and digitally kiss your feet.

ROTFLMFAO! by OklahomaHippy

If this was a joke, it was both funny and well executed.  Kudos!

DC Insider: But whatever the details my sources were extremely upbeat and confident to the point of giddy.

Your sources have been drinking. A LOT.

And furthermore by Steve M

I called Nancy Pelosi for comment on this diary and she said, "It's almost as if God has spoken."  Take that as you will.

uh by purple nurple

then why all the attention to rove, libby and other lawyers but not even a mention of the wilson's even hiring a private counsel?  I'm sure they have but nobody is camped outside their office waiting for fitzgerald.

just plain nuts if you ask me.
