So just how did we get here you ask? Maybe this will help, Frontline: Truth, War and Consequences.

Here is a good synopsis of the Plame Affair so for, Valerie Plame Affair Not Forgotten. A couple of excerpts:

Plame's duties keep changing...

As each puny posturing of Sean Hannity, National Review Online, the Wall Street Journal and lesser rightwing lights has fallen prey to new disclosures, new posturing has arisen. After previously claiming that Plame might not be an agent, then shifting to claims she was never undercover, then shifting to claims she?’s isn?’t undercover now, then shifting to claims her exposure didn?’t endanger her or any other agents, the shifters' latest effort goes along these lines: We can?’t really know what damage might have been caused by her exposure, and neither could whichever high-level Administration official blew her cover; therefore, it was not the big deal partisans are making of it.

A remider of what would be happening if a "D" was in charge...

We would all be deaf by now if this outing had happened when Bill Clinton or any Democrat were in the White House. The rightwing pundits wouldn?’t be calling for a special prosecutor, they?’d be inciting a lynch mob to swing the "insidious traitors" who compromised America?’s security from the sturdiest tree on the lawn at 1600 Pennsylvania.

William Rivers Pitt lets out his frustration. The Sins of September 11.

It looks like they want the President to take charge over the Vice President. So is this a confirmation of what people have been saying all along, that Cheney really is in charge? Senators: Bush Must Take Charge.

Time to inject a little reality. Army probes soldier suicides.
