(I'm elevating this post back up - was having Blogger issues. Original post below.)
Gannon has given another interview, this time with Editor and Publisher magazine. Some of the more interesting tidbits include this:
He also threw into question media accounts suggesting that he had seen a classified CIA document critical to the Plame case, saying he had made references to the internal memo, but adding, I never said I had it or had seen it. But when asked if he had in fact seen it, he declined to say.So let me get this right. He talked about an "internal memo" but says he didn't see it. When asked if he saw it, he won't answer the question. Hmmm, maybe Patrick Fitzgerald should check back in with Jeff Gannon -- it seems that the rest of his investigation has gone quiet, something Jeff Gannon is not!
...
Guckert said that contrary to many press reports, he was never subpoenaed by the special prosecutor and has never testified before a grand jury in the case. But he said he was interviewed by two FBI agents in his home for about 90 minutes last year.
...
Although he hinted that he had not seen a classified CIA document after all, he added, "I am not going to speak to that. It goes to something of a nature I do not want to discuss."
An interesting inconsistency in his story:
Guckert claimed that his family began being harassed a week ago. Asked how this was possible, when his real name didn_t even surface until late Monday, he held to the view that "it was out there a week ago, and that is when it started. My mother and my brother and his wife in Pennsylvania were being harassed with phone calls and threats."At least someone is asking him the right questions. Take his answers as seriously as you took his "journalism."
As I said in my previous post, I think that the reason he's out there talking so much is to deflect attention from something or someone else. It's a good article. Read it.
