7. Podesta's on?

Good. I like him.

[Cush]

8. talking about Wilson...

[Cush]

9. Jonathan Karl

Republicans are worried, so they started attacked to Wilson

At least they pointed out Wilson has given to both parties

Delay says its blown out of proportion....although privately, Repubs are worried

[Cush]

10. Howie Kurtz is on.....

talking about how leaks are a common thing....

yeah, but a leak like this Howie??

Says he's surprised that it was 2 months before someone even talked about this story

[Cush]

11. Larry Johnson is on!!!! (ExCIA)

This is a crime, a breach of security. This was done for political reasons, for revenge

Says his friends are from all political parties, and they agree

[Cush]

12. National Journal Reporter

Oh they are worried inside the White House, but they won't say it. They are watching what people (Congress, the nation, etc) say.

[Cush]

13. More for Larry

Aaron asks if theres a battle between the CIA/WH

Larry: Some inside the Admin believe the CIA is underminig the Pres. So they attacked Wilson. But what the WH won't say is that a General and Bush's own Ambassador dismissed the Niger claim

She's been undercover since 1985

[Cush]

14. Editors from other papers

Detroit Free Press: hasn't take hold her yet. here its the economy

Austin: Iraq is still the big story. High anti-war feelings here

Grand Forks, ND: not front here, but there is concern about Bush's credibility.

Detroit: Even if it grows to the WH, it might not be as 'engaging' as the last scandal. I think people are tired of scandals

[alcuno]

15. People from Detroit and Austin need to take to their computers

The Austin editor said he had only received two letters and the Detroit editor said it wasn't getting much attention from readers. Time to start writing the papers.

[eek]
