12. I remember when

Jul 2013

an OP by friend "shraby" created an opening; I noted that Cheney wasn't simply trying to knee-cap Wilson, or intimidate other journalists. His motivation was to derail the work that Valerie Plame was involved with. And documents made public during Scooter Libby's felony trial showed that the OVP was fully aware of what Ms. Plame's job duties involved.

I'll speculate -- and I'm comfortable doing so -- that the core group of participants on the Plame Threads were all concerned about the attempts to trample the Constitution. It would seem a concern that could unite most of us again today.
