I've long said that Larisa is closer than any of us to unravelling the mess that is the Bush Maladministration - and she's already gone to enormous lengths to paint the picture for us....before launching into a mega-post where i basically grabbed her entire body of work on the plame/niger/iraq stories and have since tried to piece it together with some lashings of the sibel story into a coherent narrative to help us understand what the hell is going on, what the hell happened, and how we can stop more of the same in the future.
I'm going to be interviewing larisa in the next little while - what questions should i ask her? please put them in the comments. (she might not be able to answer them all)
are you interested in why plame was outed? larisa might have the answer
how about whether there is any overlap between plame and sibel?
or have you been wondering why larisa is chasing down ledeen? or maybe why ledeen bothered to talk to her?
perhaps you hve been wondering why wilson told her that 'iran is the big winner'? or why she asked wilson about this?
maybe you have been wondering whether i am out of my mind for continually asking about wilson's statement that a "fundamentalist military conglomerate" in iran was the *goal* of the iraq invasion
or you might ask what ghorbaifar's motivations are?
or why she thought it was worth writing an article on the fact that Ledeen once worked for Panorama in italy?
or what exactly was she alluding to when she seemed to be saying that doug feith was planting wmd in iraq?
perhaps you might be interested in why plame was outed. was it reactive? or proactive? did it have anything to do with joe wilson? did it have anything to do with larisa's article about feith planting wmd in iraq? or was it about iran? was it about nukes? drugs?
why didnt joe wilson say anything till july03 - months after the invasion? is he really that close to scowcroft? is scowcroft as complicit as sibel suggests?
was plame really undercover? did she work at winpac? where do bolton and fleitz fit in? is hadley Mr X? fleischer? why isnt hadley indicted? does karl rove look cute in orange? are we going to see conspiracy charges against everyone at WHIG? did mary matalin really wear that broach on MTP?
these are all old questions ive asked previously here on the blog - but my goal in this post isnt to re-ask my own questions - do you have any new ones that i should ask larisa? put them in the comments - perhaps ask them in a bunch of different ways so that she might be able to answer (or ignore them at her will)

Lukery,
David Rose wrote only part of Sibel's story and left out the most explosive information, probably at the behest of VF lawyers. Rose had good sources. We know Larisa has good sources. Any chances Raw Story can expose the "rest of the story" a.k.a. 9-11, Plamesgate's Turkish Connection?
Bin Laden and al Qaeda had lucrative links to Turkey before 9-11, this is what Sibel seems to be saying.
I would love to hear someone address the story about how Wilson's friend happened upon Novak in the street where Novak proceeded to spill information to this complete stranger about Wilson, Plame and the Niger trip. Am I the only one who finds this tale difficult to believe?
is she going to follow the Plame/Turkish Council connection?
does she think grossman is involved, per sibel?
And of course if her Plame/Iran story is complementary to or inconsistent with the Plame/Turkey thing.
What is the real motive for 9/11, the occupation of Iraq, and the War on Terror? Is there real opposition in D.C. to the Bush administration's agenda or is that a stage play? What is the real story with black market nuclear proliferation...ie...is someone hoping that a nuke gets used in a terror attack?
This article seems ominous for the type of reporting that Raw Story does.

It seems like the Bush Administration will use the AIPAC scandal to try and get the courts to create an Official Secrets Act.
Does Larisa have any comment on this?
