Bolton's role in CIA leak is one of the largest questions!

[skip fox]

In the CIA leak case, people talk about Judith Miller's source and the fact that Novak didn't go to jail as major quandaries in the case, but I'd like to pose one just as vibrantly interesting as the others:

Why HASN'T John Bolton been interviewed by the FBI or gone before the grand jury? He would seem to be one of the primary suspects.

1.) he was loyal to the administration that forced him on Powell's State Department (to keep an eye on Powell and report back . . . that was the speculation at the time);

2.) as an undersecretary in charge of arms control and national security his charge overlapped that of Plame's in the CIA (he even gave an interview to State's inspector about the Saddam-Niger-yellow cake affair);

3.) the State Department created a memo which contained the secret ("S/NF") information about the Plame-Wilson-Niger connection in 2003 in response to Wilson's article;


When Rove is interviewed by the FBI twice and then testifies in front of the grand jury three times, when all others have been called, when even the president himself has been interview, what the heck is going on with Bolton? Something is way out of whack here, and it ain't the prosecutor.

Could Bolton be a target?

Could Bolton be cooperating? (That way he could truthfully say he has not testified since he only gave a deposition.)


We should start asking before Bush makes Bolton an interim appointee as American Ambassador to the United Nations. At least that's what I think.

You?
