Element One : TIMELINE
Just like any well thought out nefarious plot, there are some critical elements that need to be in play.
The timeline of Events. this is my timeline put together from numerous articles and books, and
links, blogs etc. It is not complete, if anyone knows of events that I have missed I will add.

Element Two: Motive. Just like the best Perry Mason episode, the Motive was always in the Open:
it was What was Missing, the Weapons of Mass Destruction. ( Reread the Downing Street Memo)
* also read Wilson's article " What I did not find in Africa " July 6,2003 NYT-editorial*

Element three: the List of Players.....( See Watergate Summer: The King's List of Dishonor,
http://watergatesummer.blogspot.com , ) Reporters are all named there as well.

Today the Focus is the Timeline, as other issues arise over the next few weeks, or memories get
jogged, I will be adding and changing this. ( An example of this is one week ago we did not know
about the Notebook and Judy"s meeting with Scooter at the St.Regis....or the Rove emails, now we do
so they are included in the Timeline)

THE TIMELINE:
( Know this May 2003 to July 2003 the WMD Questions were a Problem )
( this Timeline is composed of multiple sources: Daily Telegraph, Truthout, BBC, Daily Kos, WesPac,Clark
Community Network,Guardian, Hindu News, Ragged Thoughts, Digby,Rawstory, Agritprops,HuffingtonPost,

Yet Cheney went on Meet-the-Press and told Russert Sept 2003 he knew Nothing about Wilson's wife and that he did not know Wison.

He had one slash on left wrist ( writing hand) that started on the ulnar side and did not fully penetrated ulnar or radial artery. Autopsy reports when reviewed by experts were not convinced that the actual wound was extensive enough, and that blood loss was life threatening. He was also found with FOUR heart monitor electrode patches on his chest. No resusitaitve efforts were ever made, there is no explantaion for finding these patches on him at the site he was found. Paramedic crews were questioned. He also was noted to have abrasions and bruise that were explained "must have injured himself in the rough brush".
