• See NewsFollowup.com Plamegate /  Leagate page 3 for detail of July 2005 Miller jailing, Cooper testifies, Libby, Rove, ....etc
• July 14, 2005 The Nation article: The Big Chill, July 14, 2005
• July 15, 2005,  Democrats smell scandal.  Dean attacking: saying "Rove betrayed the identity of an undercover officer".  Rove...mentioned a CIA agent  in 'passing'?...., during a July 2003 conversation with Time magazine reporter Matt Cooper.  But Rove's lawyer said he did not identify the agent by name and had no 'intention' or outing her.  Rove said "Wilson's wife, who apparently works at the agency".  A few days later, Robert Novak named Valerie Plame as a CIA Operative in a July Column.   Rove said that he did not know the name of Wilson's wife when he spoke to Cooper.  
• July 17, 2005  Uruknet "You can pretty much assume that journalists handling secret sources don't talk to each other, and can also assume that the Vice President's Office and Rove don't talk much, out of motives of possible personal animosity and to avoid the type of Watergate and Iran-Contra problems of which they are fully aware through bitter personal experience. What if Cheney or Libby found out about Plame (possibly from the memo referred to here, but it could have come from anywhere), and, rather than tell Rove directly, told Miller? There seems to be a Cheney-Miller connection, as evidenced by the fact that the Miller aluminum tubes story was immediately followed by Cheney using it in his build-up to war. Once Miller has the info, Cheney or Libby could hint to Rove that he might want to call Miller, and Miller would then pass on the information to Rove. Rove is then off the hook, as he is just the recipient of the scuttlebut of journalists, and can safely pass the information to Pincus, Cooper and Novak. The Rove e-mail message to Stephen Hadley about his conversation with Cooper, saying he 'didn't take the bait' when Cooper suggested that Wilson's criticisms had been damaging to the administration, is just papering the file for Rove's eventual legal defense. Cheney and Libby have cleverly used Miller to launder the information which Cheney wants to get to the press without having his fingerprints on it. Miller uncharacteristically didn't write about the story, which may be evidence that she was in on the scheme. As long as she keeps quiet, Cheney and Libby are safe. Once she is out of jail, they can arrange for her to have a nice book deal, funded by the usual scam of wholesale buying of books by right-wing operators to make the book seem more popular than it actually is."
• July 16, 2005 Mehlman tries to cover for Rove by saying "was discouraging a reporter from writing a false story based on a false premise".
• July 19, 2005 Karl Rove lie? Independent Media TV.  Did he break same law as Martha Stewart? He may have in October of 2003 when he told investigators he didn't start sharing info on Plame until after Novak outer her on July 14, 2003.   see Cooper above.
• Attorney General Alberto Gonzales notified Andrew Card  of DOJ Plame leak investigation at 8:00 PM, but waited 12 hours (next day) to tell anyone else in Whitehouse to preserve relevant documents.  On Sept 29th he was White House counsel and Ashcroft was AG.   Who did Card talk to that night.  All very smelly.

• July 25, 2005 Democratic Senators, over two dozen, want CIA leak investigation, letter sent to Frist, Hastert, implicated Rove and Libby,  Sen Lautenberg has calendar showing number of days passed "since the White House leaked the identity of a CIA agent."  Lautenberg also asked about document shredding party during 12 hours after Gonzales notified only Libby on investigation.   Senate Democrats  and KerrySharesOurValues on Kyle Sampson
• Shredding party connections: In Sept 2005 Gonzales will name D. Kyle DOJ Sampson as chief of staff and Raul Yanes as counselor. ..and (Ted Ullyot?), KerrySharesOurValues  Gonzales and Ashcroft will recuse, but will these three also?
  All three have been lawyers in the White House counsel's office under Gonzales.  ... Ullyot and Yanes were the coordinators of the White House's response to the investigation into the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.
• Conservative reaction: Maariv International "The Franklin Rosen Weissman espionage scandal is beginning to look like a surfeit of hype forced into bed with a paucity of fact"
• Judith Miller is in Alexandria Detention Center
• Sen. Pat Roberts, Chairman, Senate Intelligence Committee, will conduct hearings on spy cover (to try to water down Plame's importance?).  Citing that she worked at CIA hq, and wasn't overseas enough.  (smoke screens?).  Larry Johnson and 11 other former officers vigorously disagree with Roberts.

• July 31, 2005 WMR Plame leak damaged a major CIA investigation linking senior Bush administration officials to WMD proliferation. U.S. intelligence insiders have pointed out that the White House is using "Rovegate" and "Who in the White House said what to whom?" as a smoke screen to divert attention away from the actual counter-proliferation work Mrs. Wilson and her Brewster Jennings & Associates team were engaged in. The arrival of Timothy Flanigan as Patrick J. Fitzgerald's boss is likely related to the mountains of evidence Fitzgerald has now collected to indict senior White House officials, particularly, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, for criminal conspiracy in exposing a sensitive U.S. intelligence operation that was targeting some of their closest political and business associates. Libby, it will be recalled, was the attorney for fugitive global smuggler and Clinton-pardoned multi-billionaire Marc Rich, someone who has close ties to the Sharon government and Israeli intelligence. It is no coincidence that FBI translator-turned-whistleblower Sibel Edmonds uncovered nuclear material and narcotics trafficking involving Turkish intermediaries with ties to Israel at the same time Brewster Jennings and the CIA's Counter Proliferation Division was hot on the trail of nuclear proliferators tied to the Israeli government of Ariel Sharon and the A. Q.

• Aug 19, 2005  Haaretz, Satterfield named
• Aug 19, 2005 WMR "August 23 /August 19, 2005 -- Revelations about Satterfield and Able Danger are connected. The recent revelations that the Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, David Satterfield, is the USGO-2 named in the Franklin-Rosen-Weissman indictment and the coming forward of the Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer and his evidence that the elite Able Danger force had Mohammed Atta and three other hijackers under surveillance in 2000 and was prevented from taking action are related stories. Shaffer was the liaison between DIA and the U.S. Special Operations Able Danger team that was tracking Atta and his cell in the United States and abroad. The Pentagon inaction is being blamed on lawyers for the U.S. Special Operations Command who prevented the FBI from being informed of the Atta team's activities. What is being overlooked is that there was a significant neo-con element within the Clinton administration. It included then-Secretary of Defense William Cohen (a Republican) and the career Pentagon officials like Office of Net Assessment chief Andy Marshall, the indicted Larry Franklin, and Harold Rhode, who all increased their power in the Bush administration. This network was close to Clinton State Department officials Martin Indyk, who lost his security clearance while ambassador to Israel, and Dennis Ross, (now (2008)an advisor to Obama) of the pro-Likud Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP), the think tank that provided a number of personnel for Douglas Feith's Office of Special Plans, including David Schenker and Michael Makovsky (brother of WINEP Senior Fellow David Makovsky). WINEP's advisory board includes such neocon figures as Richard Perle, James Woolsey, James Roche (of Boeing-Air Force tanker contract fraud infamy), Jeane Kirkpatrick, and Max Kampelman. The pre-911 restrictions on Able Danger are evidence that the neo-cons were as damaging to the security interests of the United States under Clinton as they have been under Bush."

[NYT, Oct. 29, 2005]  It’s unclear why Fitzgerald would take time out of his very busy schedule that day to visit Bush’s personal lawyer unless Fitzgerald had to pass on sensitive information about Bush’s status in the investigation. Possibilities range from telling Bush that he would not be named in the Libby indictment to saying he had become an investigative target.

• Nov 5, 2005 WMR  Feith Replacement at Pentagon Identified in Libby Indictment. Undersecretary of Defense for Policy and Plans Eric Edelman has been identified as then "then Principal Deputy" to Vice President Dick Cheney's recently indicted Chief of Staff Lewis Libby. Edelman replaced Douglas Feith, the chief architect of the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans, as Undersecretary after he was given a recess appointment by President Bush to the Pentagon post. Edelman left the Vice President's office in June 2003 to take up his post as ambassador to Turkey. However, the indictment indicates that Edelman continued to be involved in discussions with Libby after beginning Turkish language training. According to FBI sources, Edelman used his position as ambassador to Turkey to cement a triad of weapons and drug smuggling and money laundering involving Turks, Israelis, and Americans. The CIA and US Customs Service busted one nuclear smuggling ring involving South African-Israeli national Asher Karni, a Pakistani businessman named Humayun Khan, and a Turkish Jew with strong Israeli ties named Zeki Bilmen. The smuggling network involved companies in Cape Town; Secaucus, New Jersey; and Islamabad, Pakistan. Karni was convicted by a US court for smuggling nuclear triggers to Pakistan via South Africa. The identification of Edelman in the Libby indictment as one of those possibly involved in the outing of a CIA agent and a covert company bears directly on the use of Turkey as a major facilitator in the trafficking of WMD components, particularly to the AQ Khan network in Pakistan.   search terms: International Advisors, Inc., House Speaker Bob Livingston, Turkey, Cayman Islands,  American Turkish Council, Dennis Hastert,  heroin, nuclear smuggling, money laundering, Cyprus, Dubai, CIA Counter-Proliferation Division,  full article
