Libbey on Haig on Blitzer

Sunday, 30 October, 2005
Alexander Haig was on the Wolf Blitzer CNN Sunday program today where he dropped a little bomb that I'm sure (maybe not) you will be hearing more about very soon.
Mr haig was being interviewed regarding the outing of the yet to be proved "covert" CIA agent Valerie Plame (sounds like an x-stripper who decided to drop the F), wife of former Ambassador, he's not dead just not an Ambassador any longer, d-Joe Wilson. Who blahblahblah was sent (by his wife) to Niger to investigate whether Saddam Hussein (remember him) was buying nuclear materials for his WMD program (which he sent off in the night to Syria) in the beginning of the Iraq war.
Jesus, to much updating! Look, if you don't know who these people are you don't care anyway. And if you do then this is for you!
The whole controversy revolves around Lewis Libby supposedly telling (outing) people Ms Plame was a CIA op. And Wolf B. was pumping Haig for agreement in a "I'm outraged aren't you, kinda way". When out-a (no pun intended) the blue, Haig says Joe Wilson has been himself loose lipped around town (D.C.) for years about "my CIA girl".
The message here is. How can Libby be accused of outing a covert operative (serious business) when her own husband has been doing it for years- and she's not even a covert operative, she's a desk jockey?
Wow! Now you know this has been researched and witnesses interviewed in advance for them to loose this little nugget on public television...But what gases me up is the initial setup by Libbys' people and how they got CNN's Wolf Blitzer and his people to invite, of all people, Alexander Haig who hasn't been in or on the news for ages (no offense Al).
This is intriguing new seed for the press and I'm dying to see how (if) it grows.
