Robert Joseph or Elliot Abrams?

* viget thinks that Robert Joseph is Fitz's 'co-operating source' as identified by Leopold yesterday, as well as Woodward's Mr X, and possibly Novak's source.

* emptywheel thinks it's probably Elliot Abrams.

* the interesting thing is that Libby doesn't know who it is (?) (link)

* Leopold says that this person also outed Plame to journos. I can't wait for all the details to come out from this case and we can see who all the chicken-shit journos are we'll have to call a blogger ethics conference to revisit their reporting, in the context of the new knowledge that these journos were part of the story without disclosing it.

update: Larisa seems to still stand by the fact that Hadley was Woodward's source (i'm just relistening to her interview with scott horton)

This is on the WTC plans/composition etc being passed to Middle East a few months before 911, as witnessed by S.Edmonds.

Assume there is a network of rogue US/CIA intelligence agents acting with operatives in Saudi & Pakistan (& even Israeli) intelligence and the neocon's drugs/arms networks. It is essentially a network for crime run by the neocons. Call it RogueNet. Assume OSBL planned the plane attacks, but that the terrorists were spotted early on by RogueNet. The neocons then decide to let 911 run and get some benefits by helping it along. They install the explosives in the buildings and deflect FBI inquiries in the months leading up to 911.

OSBL has no knowledge of any bombs(too hard to for him to organise). But, Sibel witnesses building plans being passed to RogueNet operatives in the Middle East by neocon handlers. Of particular interest here could be Mossad members of RogueNet interested in reviewing demolition plans to ensure its success, or to coordinate removal of Israeli citizens. (I don't particularly support the Mossad did it school, but some elements of Mossad may have supported the neocons for their own political reasons).

Certainly, the plans would not likely have been provided to OSBL to organise the attack (insufficient time, and too far away). Rather I suspect it was for reviewing the plans that were in place already. The interested parties: other RogueNet operatives.
