The Plame affair is nauseating. She was no more “under cover” than Britney Spears. Just a strong desire to garner attention and smear others.
Wilson lied, Plame’s CIA career died.
Wonder how long before she poses nude for Playboy?
Plame/Wilson was a hybrid version of Burkett/Mapes...
This Plame thing makes me puke.
The Bush administation did nothing to push back on these people. Most of the facts we know today we knew back in 2003. I still cannot understand why Bush, armed with all the facts, didnt fight back, but instead chose to let one of his most loyal associate, Scooter Libby, take the fall.
Bush makes me sick.
Give it time, Hollywood will make a movie about her. America’s Secret Agent 001. Plame, Valerie Plame.
So simple an intern could figure it out yet the MSM couldn't see this one with the help of a map and a telescope.
Armitage - a traitor who let Scooter and Judith get convicted.
Colin Powell - knew about Armitage, did nothing, he’s dishonorable.
Bush - should have pardoned Scooter immediately upon conviction.
Bush - should have launched an independent investigation on Fitzpatrick for proceeding with investigation (after learning that Fitzpatrick knew already Armitage was the leaker).
Plame - a Brtiney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton wannabe.
Wilson - a Democrat contributor for many years, went to Niger only because no one looked at it closely enough when his wife floated a memo saying he should go.
CIA - being their liberal selves, with more than enough leakers to the liberal media.
Very good article. Thanks for posting. Comments bump!
IF Plame were a sincere CIA agent, she would have divorced Wilson, apologized and resigned when her husband went on national news shows politicizing and lying about his mission.
Was the Congress actually afraid to confront Plame with this because they thought she could somehow say "I'm not responsible for my husband?" She OBVIOUSLY supported every reprehensible thing he did.
From a political cartoon
Over heard at the Justice Department
Joe Wilson lied.
So, you went after Wilson?
Nope, Bob Novak revealed Plame’s identity in his column.
So, you went after Novak?
Well no, Richard Armitage leaked her information to Novak.
So, you went after Armitage?
No, as it turns out Plame WASN’T really a covert agent.
So, you’re dropping the case?
No, I’m going after Libby.
Libby, what about the others?
From article: “Wilson clearly objected to the President’s speech not because it implicated him or his wife, but because it ignored his mission to Niger.”
This is clearly wrong. Compare what Pres. Bush said in the SOTU to what is reported in the recently declassified CIA document describing Wilson’s trip.
From State of the Union address: “...The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa...” http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/01/20030128-19.html
From CIA document, 8 March 2002: “...in June 1999...Mayaki meet with an Iraqi delegation to discuss ‘expanding commercial relations’ between Niger and Iraq. ...the meeting took place... The phrase ‘expanding commercial relations’ to mean that Iraq wanted to discuss Uranium yellowcake sales.” http://wid.ap.org/documents/libbytrial/jan29/DX439.pdf
(retyped - please excuse typing errors)
Bush said “Iraq sought” and Wilson said “to discuss...commercial relations”. Where was Bush wrong. He did not claim Iraq had purchased Uranium just sought a source.
