Some Republicans tell me, and each other, that "the Valerie Plame-Wilson thing is all so messy. It's no big deal, right?" Their faces do weird twitchy things when they say that. </p><p> Now I see that Patrick Fitzgerald has a website to help explain his job. But it's all words. Boo! Hiss! Aren't stories with pictures so much easier to understand?</p><p> Here, Mr. Fitzgerald, here you go...</p><p> <img src="http://www.alchemysite.com/blog/leaker/mrs_wilson.jpg"></p><p><p> </p> <ul class="catcom"> </li></ul></div><p><b>Mr. Leaker and Mrs. Wilson</b></p><p> <i>A story of secrets and no-nos and Scary Mad people. </i></p><p> <img src="http://www.alchemysite.com/blog/leaker/mrs_wilson.jpg"></p><p> Mrs. Wilson is a good person. She works for the President of the United States. She needs to find and keep secrets so she can catch bad guys. It's a hard job because secrets are heavy. Most of the time she just pretends to be a mommy with a normal job. But if bad people find out her secrets, she can't just run and hide because they are big. And heavy. So, Sshhh!</p><p> <strong>These are Mrs. Wilson's secret job friends.</strong></p><p> <img src="http://www.alchemysite.com/blog/leaker/secret_friends.jpg"></p><p> They carry big heavy secrets, too. They work in far away countries and look for bad people also. They have to pretend not to know Mrs. Wilson's secret job. And she has to pretend not to know their secret jobs. </p><p> If one person tells about their secret job, then bad guys will think all that person's friends have secrets, too. The bad guys will hurt Mrs. Wilson and her friends to hide their bad-guy secrets. Nobody likes to make their friends hurt and sad.</p><p> <strong>This is Mrs. Wilson's husband.</strong></p><p> <img src="http://www.alchemysite.com/blog/leaker/mr_wilson.jpg"></p><p> He knows lots and lots of people in Africa and is good at secrets, too. That's why Mrs. Wilson's bosses asked him to go talk to some important African people. </p><p> The important people told him some American grown-ups lied to get what they wanted. When Mr. Wilson got home, he wrote a story about how it's not nice to fib, especially for grown-ups. Especially fibs that hurt people or make them die.</p><p> <strong>This is Mr. Leaker.</strong></p><p> <img src="http://www.alchemysite.com/blog/leaker/mr_leaker.jpg"></p><p> Mr. Leaker has inappropriate behavior. He didn't like the secrets Mr. Wilson learned when he went to Africa. When Mr. Wilson told the truth about Africa, Mr. Leaker and his Scary friends got mad. They got Scary Mad. So Mr. Leaker told everybody about Mrs. Wilson's secret job to get even with Mr. Wilson. That was dumb. Mr. Leaker broke the law by telling. He made Mrs. Wilson sad. He made everybody at Mrs. Wilson's work upset and sad and worried.</p><p> See the rest of the story at- http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/10/24/174045/35
