The Wilsons R Us

by digby

John Amato has the video of Joe and Valerie Wilson’s press conference this morning. It’s quite moving seeing Valerie Wilson speak. She is a very impressive person. You can’t help but be struck by what a travesty it is that the administration was willing to destroy her career and weaken our national security for political purposes.

I think of the NSA spying program and all the other programs that the president and his henchmen insist aren’t being used againt political opponents and I have to laugh. In light of what they were willing to do to a covert CIA agent, why would anyone think they wouldn’t be willing to use their power to spy on their political opponents. It’s pretty clear they have no limits.

Scooter Libby has been collecting millions for his defense fund from all manner of rich Republicans. Mary Matalin has even held a big fundraiser at the Carville home. If anyone would care to help out the Wilsons, who aren’t millionaires and don’t have the entire Washington establishment backing them, here’s a web-site where you can contribute to their legal support trust.
