A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT

Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson's Statement in Response to I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby's Announcement That He is Dropping His Appeal

"By dropping his appeal, Mr. Libby has finally abandoned the pretense that his conviction was a miscarriage of justice. Mr. Libby's decision suggests, however, that he may have received word that President Bush plans to pardon him shortly. Of course, a pardon is completely at odds with the president's earlier claim that he would not tolerate anyone on his team leaking a covert CIA officer's identity, but this is the kind of inconsistency representative of this administration. Given the White House's extensive and continuing efforts to cover up how and why Valerie Wilson's identity was leaked to the press, the only way that remains to get at the truth in this sordid matter is through our civil suit against Libby, Vice President Cheney, Karl Rove, and Richard Armitage."

Good luck with the civil suit

Good luck with the civil suit. It's the only chance to prove what most of us already know - Bush and Cheney's complicity in outing Valerie Plame Wilson, a covert operative in the CIA.

I sincerely hope you win and the trial is not short circuited.
