Phantom Questions

How did a gay prostitute and porn site operator with no journalistic experience and no legitimate news organization employment get credentials under a false name as a White House correspondent who was called on to ask questions by the presidential press secretary and the President himself? When a veteran New York Times columnist couldn't get White House press credentials at all?

How did this person get to see a classified memo concerning the CIA secret operative Valerie Plame, who was outed by person or persons unknown, apparently in revenge for her husband blowing the whistle on Bush's lie about Iraq possessing nuclear material?

How is it that when this person was interviewed on CNN by one of its chielf correspondents, he was asked about none of this?

What's happened to the investigation into this "leak," that put a CIA agent's life in danger, and is a serious violation of law? Why hasn't the "journalist" who published Plame's name (Robert Novak, who works for, among other places, CNN) been pressured into divulging his source, while two journalists who were told her name but didn't publish it, are being threatened with jail for not divulging their source?

Why aren't we hearing about any of this from the major news media?

Why have both the former Attorney General and the new Attorney General recused themselves from handling the Plame case?

Why isn't there immense public outrage and a major Watergate-scale scandal about all of this?

Exactly what is the numbing agent introduced into the polluted air of America? Besides cable television?

Do you think that was really enough?
