Drudge is now quoting Bob Novak, without a link at this moment.
In July I was interviewing a senior administration official on amb. Wilson’s report when he told the trip was inspired by his wife, a CIA employee working on weapons of mass destruction. Another senior official told me the same thing. As a professional journalist [...]

There are many curious features to this affair. Wilson was clearly not an individual that the White House would have picked to send to Niger. He readily admits that his time there was spent drinking tea with a dozen or so officials from the Government of Niger. Hardly “nose to the grindstone” stuff, and unlikely [...]

Who outed Valerie Plame? Well, to begin with, her husband. She is named in at least one on-line bio. Jane Galt has an appropriate comment or two:
For one thing, it’s not clear that she was an undercover operative. This didn’t happen without the knowlege of the CIA; Novak checked with them first, and they didn’t [...]

That night, my eyes and lungs still stinging, I walked up the Great White Way. It’s a section of road to which all others like it are measured, one which has made audiences laugh and cry for over a century. Tonight it was dark, but many of us came anyway, unsure what to do or [...]

The loony left has concocted a pile of steaming feces that it calls a conspiracy theory about the events of September 11, 2001.

This, of course, contradicts the [...]

September 11 has meaning. No, not what you think. The murderous bastards who attacked America on September 11, 2001 were commemorating another September 11, that of 1683.
September 11, 1683 marked the day the Turks turned away from the gates of Vienna in defeat. The last threat to Europe from Islam had failed.
That shows the kind [...]

A few days after the eleventh, maybe the thirteenth or the fourteenth, I was driving across town for lunch. It was another beautiful September day. My car windows were open, and I thought to myself, “Someone has used far too much fertilizer on their lawn.”
But it wasn’t fertilizer. The wind was coming from the [...]

As the second anniversary of September 11 approaches, my anger and my determination remain. We, America and all Americans, our life style and our way of life, were attacked that day. It was not the opening shot of a war; the war had been going on for more than a decade. It was, however, our [...]
