[lbo-talk] None dare call it conspiracy

[Max Sawicky]

This may have been raised here before.  I don't pay a lot of attention
to the details of scandals -- "Sentence first, trial later" and all that
-- but a new piece in Buchanan's rag plus blog posts by Yglesias,
Billmon, and Jane Hamsher make a nice neat package of the notion that
the Plame outing was motivated by a need to cover up a much more serious
scandal -- complicity in the forgery of the Niger "uranium" documents.
Cast of characters includes neo-cons Doug Feith, Michael Ledeen, the VP,
and the Berlusconi govt.  Wouldn't it be nice for all of them to go down
at once.  Here are the links:
