Reply #27: I had the feeling

[H2O Man]

that JV said that without thinking. I am not sure that either his paper, or (MS)NBC was inclined to want to go on the record with that. When Raw Story identified Hadley as Woodward's source last month, other media sources were willing to take the line suggested by the administration .... that no one knew for sure (while flashing a picture of Sick Armitage to hint that they did know).

One of the things that I would suggest, in response to those who think it is evidence that the scandal reached farther than the VP's office .... is that the VP was running the WHIG, which included Hadley .... and more, Cheney and his band of neocons had people like Hadley in several other departments to try to make sure that potential weak links like Rice and Powell were on a short leash.

It is interesting to watch Matthews and Shuster. Both know the truth, and are clearly wanting to push it farther than MSNBC will allow them to. But I think that before the end of this month, they are going to reveal more than the general public knows, about the extent of corruption in the neocon circle.
