Joe and Val's Bogus Adventure

You really have to feel for the Plame/Wilsons. What are they going to do now for publicity? I mean, I guess Conyers is beating their dead horse in Congress still, but is anybody paying attention to that? Maybe George Clooney or Michael Moore can make a movie on their sorry situation.
The judge dismissed the case as having no merit, but he left this parting shot, that when someone impugns the motives of the Executive branch, officials in the Executive branch are within their rights to challenge the voracity of such allegations. This is what happened in this case, pure and simple.
The whole case centered around lying, but not the lying of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. The lying began with the Plame/Wilsons themselves. Joe Wilson was sent to Niger to investigate claims that Saddam had sought yellowcake from that country. Wilson was sent by the CIA, but he originally claimed that it was at the behest of the Vice President's office. This was his first lie. He compounded that lie with others, including the idea that his trip was to refute a document that supposedly confirmed the claim of Saddam approaching Niger. The document did, in fact, prove to be false, but Joe Wilson had no way of knowing this prior to his trip, since the document did not surface until after his trip, as he begrudgingly had to admit before a bipartisan Senate commission.
Joe Wilson's actual report, in fact, did not refute the claims. If anything, the actual report that he turned into the CIA strengthened the claims. Only his verbal statements later sought to refute the claims.
In light of his painting the administration in such a bad light, and his claims that his trip was at the request of none other than Dick Cheney, reporters started to question why the administration would have done something so stupid as send a second-tier diplomatic hack like Wilson in the first place. Robert Novak talked with Richard Armitage in the State Department, a man who publicly opposed the actions of Bush and Cheney. Armitage cleared the muddied waters by explaining that Cheney hadn't asked for Wilson to go. Wilson's wife worked for the CIA, and had suggested her husband.
Valerie Plame denied this, and was caught in her lie when a memo surfaced that showed that she had, in fact, recommended her husband. Novak sought to verify this, and talked with other people, who also confirmed it. Nobody was trying to out Valerie Plame. Armitage revealed the information because he thought Plame was just a desk jockey at the CIA. She hadn't been in the field in years, and was no longer undercover.
In light of the fact that the Wilsons lied so much to support their story, it was justified for the truth to come out. Democrats, though, think that they should be protected when they lie to slander George Bush. We'll make up the lie, perpetrate it, use it as the biggest weapon in our arsenal to beat the president with over the justification for going to war, and if you dare expose our lie, we will demand blood. That is the whole situation in a nutshell. Libby was peripheral. He had some conversations with some reporters on the subject, and mixed up the order of when he talked with each person, and so Fitzgerald took him to court.
So when will we see the prosecution of Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame for their perjury?
