Is everybody in?
Is everybody in?
The ceremony is about to begin!
-- James Douglas Morrison

Water Man Spouts is a blog by H2O Man, formerly from sites including the Democratic Underground. This blog is an attempt to continue a discussion of the controversial Plame Case, as well as to cover other related topics of interest.

The Plame case had been the subject of a series of threads on the Democratic Underground, which had started in the late spring of 2004. Some of the "high points" of these threads included the "Waterman Paper," an essay that gave a brief outline of the Plame controversy, based largely upon information from Joseph Wilson's book, "The Politics of Truth."

By the time of the presidential election in November, 2004, the Plame case had expanded to include the "yellow cake" document forgeries, and the neocon spy scandal. These are issues that should be of interest and concern to all citizens interested in the American constitutional democracy.

In the up-coming weeks, this blog will offer a in-depth review of the Plame case. This will include information that was previously discussed on the DU threads, as well as more up-to-date and more highly detailed descriptions of the case as it unfolds.

I am hoping that the blog will provide both up-to-date information on the controversial case as it unfolds in early 2005, and will provide a place for interested parties to discuss Plame and related political/social/cultural issues.

Thank you for your interest and participation!

Sincerely,
Padraig O'Waterman
