WNU Editor: I completely fail to see how can you get anything meaningful from someone who says he heard something from someone who had heard it from another source. All that this CIA official can do when he testifies (which I predict will be completely behind closed doors), is a list of the people that he heard this information from. With this list the Congress can then call in these people to testify and to get from them a list of the individuals that they heard this information from. And with this final list, call in these individuals on what they heard who in the end will probably only verify that the transcript the White House released to the public on Wednesday is true. Is it me, or am I the only one who sees how screwed up this is all going to become.
