The White House is sticking with the strategy that has worked so often for them in the past when they've encountered unfriendly news. Stonewall until the story has simply been starved to death for lack of anything new to report.
It's not going to work this time.
The people in that make up the news media are usually reporting on the scandal rather than being an organic part of the story itself. In this case, the story involves reporters in jail, lies to reporters, and abuse of background sourcing by people in the administration.
Additionally, it has the added aspects of being related to the war, and how we dealt with the intelligence was vetted prior to a War that has become an albatross around the President's neck.
This story is not going to lose its signigicance to anyone in the press corps. They are not going to stop trying to get to the truth.
And honestly, I think the truth leads to the origin of the Niger Uranium document.
I have very good reason to believe that we faked it and planted it with the Itallian Intelligence service and then given back to us.
Think of it as setting up Saddam by laundering faked evidence.
This isn't as nutty as it sounds and I am working on documenting the whole thing so I can post it here. It's taking a while. Expect it by no later than next Monday if no one beats me to it.
