Your article provided a thorough look at the leak that led to the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame [NATION, Oct. 13], the wife of Joseph Wilson, whose investigation found there was no attempt by Iraq to buy uranium in Niger. Some say the Democrats need to appear nonpartisan and temper their rightful outrage, but in truth it is up to the Republicans to demand a special prosecutor to investigate this serious matter. After all, Plame's role was to track any person or nation that might provide weapons of mass destruction to terrorists, something that is supposedly the Bush...
...Jones was lured to the Jetta (known as the Bora in Europe) by its stylish looks and solid road handling - easily worth the $18,900 sticker price.

Government sources tell TIME that the FBI has interviewed more than two dozen officials in several Washington offices, including White House press secretary Scott McClellan and Bush political adviser Karl Rove as well as other West Wing aides. The FBI has obtained desk diaries and phone records and is examining the network server that...
...crass about doling out the spoils of war to its corporate cronies—Halliburton, Bechtel et al—while using the afterglow of victory to cow those who might object. The same administration that used patriotism as a gag on dissent is responsible for a treasonous leak that, if it had happened under a Democrat’s watch, would have Republicans calling for capital punishment for the perpetrators...
