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)
