June 26, 2004 journal, the big leak, possibility of indictment and impeachment looming.

The Michael Moore blockbuster 'Fahrenheit 9-11' is out now and drawing big crowds.

See N H Kox.com ‘true or false’ website that is very informative to say the least for sure.

I now continue quoting from fromthewilderness.com from the article on a coup d'etat.

"important to U.S. strategy and at a critical moment. The leak was a vindictive retaliation for statements, reports and actions taken by Plame’s husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, which had deeply embarrassed the Bush administration and exposed it to possible charges for impeachment offences, including lying to the American people about the alleged and totally unfounded nuclear threat posed by Saddam Hussein. Conservative columnist Robert Novak, the beneficiary of the leak, published it on July 14, 2003 and Valerie Plame’s career, at least the covert part, instantly ended. The actual damage caused by this leak has never been appreciated". Impeachment, high crimes! “Wilson deeply embarrassed almost every senior member of the Bush junta by proving to the world that they were consciously lying about one of their most important justifications for invading Iraq: namely, their claim to have had certain knowledge, based on "good and reliable" intelligence, that Hussein was on the brink of deploying a nuclear weapon, possibly inside the United States,. It was eventually disclosed that the "intelligence" processed by the Bush administration was a set of poorly forged documents on letterhead from the government of Niger, which describes the attempts by Iraq to purchase yellowcake uranium for a nuclear weapons program. It has since been established by Scott Ritter and others that Iraq's nuclear weapons program had been dead in the water and non-functioning since the first Iraq war. Wilson was secretly dispatched in February 2002, on instructions from Dick Cheney to the CIA, to go to Niger and look for anything that might support the material and the documents. They had already been dismissed as forgeries by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the CIA, and apparently everyone else who had seen them. The CIA cautioned the administration, more than once, against using them, shortly thereafter, Wilson returned and gave his support stating clearly that the allegations were pure bunk and unsupportable. In spite of this, unaware of the bubby traps laid all around them, the entire power core of the Bush administration jumped on the Niger documents as on a battle horse and charged off into in a massive public relations blitz. Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Powell, Wolfowitz and others-to varying degrees-insisted, testified, and swore that they knew, and had reliable, and credible and verified intelligence the Saddam was about to deploy an actual nuclear device built from the Niger yellowcake. It was full court media press and they successfully scared the pants off of most Americans who believed that Saddam had going to nuke them any second. George B-u-s-h made his charge and actually cited the documents in his 2003 State of the Union address, even after he had been cautioned by George Tenant not to rely on them. In a major speech at the United Nations, Colin Powell charged that Iraq was on the verge of deploying a nuke and had been trying to acquire uranium. Dick Cheney charged in several speeches that Saddam was capable of nuclear terror. And shortly before the invasion, when asked in a television interview whether there was sufficient proof and advance warning of the Iraqi nuclear threat, a smug and confident Condoleezza Rice quipped, "If we wait for a smoking gun, that smoking gun may be a mushroom cloud over an American city". Rice was lying through her teeth". By July of 2003, as the Iraqi invasion was proving to be a protracted and ill conceived debacle, executed in spite of massive resistance from within the military”,
