Try to tenderize a scoop of uncooked turkey and see what happens to you. This just landed in our in-box from an editor at The Raw Story, sent from his on-the-record and very hush-hush Gmail account:
Late Monday, several sources familiar with Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's probe said John Hannah, a key aide to Vice President Dick Cheney and one of the architects of the Iraq war, was cooperating with Fitzgerald after being told that he was identified by witnesses as a co-conspirator in the leak. Sources said Hannah was not given immunity, but was likely offered a "deal" in exchange for information that could result in indictments of key White House officials.Now, those close to the investigation say that a second Cheney aide, David Wurmser, has agreed to provide the prosecution with evidence that the leak was a coordinated effort by Cheney's office to discredit the agent's husband. Her husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, was one of the most vocal critics of the Iraq war.
Look, enough is enough. John Hannah's a Scottish actor and Wurmser's one of the Tri-Lams from Revenge of the Nerds.
Next they'll be telling us that the cousin of the guy who played Rerun on What's Happening!! stole the Lindbergh baby. "A source who once read in a coloring book while tripping on magic mushrooms reports to us exclusively..."
