The media frenzy over the alleged outing of Valerie Plame, a CIA employee, could be taking a new turn. Circumstantial evidence now suggests that Plame and her hubby, Joe Wilson, are not only using the incident to embarrass the Bush administration but they planned to embarrass it some time ago.
What the media is deliberately overlooking is that it was Plame who recommended that Wilson be sent to Niger to determine whether Saddam was trying to buy uranium from that country.
Both Plame and Wilson are partisan Democrats, with Wilson nursing an intense hatred of President Bush that runs so deep that he wrote in the extreme leftwing Nation that"
"The underlying objective of this war is the imposition of a Pax Americana on the region and installation of vassal regimes that will control restive populations ... Nations in the region, having contracted with the United States for their security umbrella, will now listen when Washington tells them to tailor policies and curb anti-Western dissent. Hegemony in the Arab nations of the Gulf has been achieved."
This is pure neo-Marxist claptrap. Making his hatred of the administration clear he said that he would like to be remembered as the "political appointee who did the most damage to the Bush II administration ... " He also told the same crowd of rabid Democrats that he intended to "get Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs."
It's no secret in the beltway that certain members of the CIA don't like the administration and its aggressive policy toward terrorists and their state backers.
All the dots are now pointing to the distinct possibility that an anti-Bush member of the agency asked Plame to recommend her husband for the Niger mission knowing that his anti-war stance and loathing for Bush would result in negative findings for the administration.
So what were Wilson's finding and how did he arrive at them? His idea of an investigation was to spend about eight days swigging tea with Niger officials while discussing the possibility of Saddam buying uranium.
He reported verbally that he believed it unlikely that Saddam had bought uranium. The manner of his 'investigation' and report was such that the agency felt it could not take it seriously. On the other hand, the British report came from MI6 field agents. I know which one I would trust.
Rather than throw hubby the bone, it's beginning to like Plame through it to the Democrats so that they could use it to bludgeon Bush.
Both are Dem donors. Nothing at all wrong with that, except that when Plame donated she gave as her employer the name of a company that was a CIA front. Anyone acquainted with the couple would know who her real employer was. (Novak has stressed that her job was an open secret in the beltway). This means that in order to donate to the Dems she exposed a CIA front operation.
This pair remind me of the Martin's, a couple of Republican-hating Democratic activists, who tapped Newt Gingriche's phone back in January 1997.
The Martins claimed that they were out on a fun drive with a 200 band police scanner and a tape recorder when, by pure chance, they picked up Newt Gingrich's phone conversation, which they then happily taped.
How they managed to do this when scanners are configured so that they cannot intercept phone calls is something they could not explain. What is more, a 1993 statute made the sale and manufacture of scanners capable of intercepting cellular-phone signals illegal.
The Martins gave their illegally obtained to tape to Congressman Jim McDermott — the same McDermott who visited Iraq and gave moral support to Saddam — who then distributed it, knowing full well that it had been illegally obtained. (This in itself was an illegal act).
We are now going through a replay. A couple of Bush-hating Dems found themselves in a position where they figured they could hurt the administration and then did precisely that. In this they were aided by a loose-tongued informant.
Now the same media that apologized for the Martins, covered for Clinton's refusal to take out bin Laden, who concealed Clinton's national security scandals, who lied to cover for Gray Davis, etc, etc, etc, are now red in the face with phony patriotism and selective outrage.
Well, they didn't fool the people over Arnie and they won't fool them over Bush.

This Brookes guy must enjoy reading FR.
De Plame Boss, De Plame!
Cheap radios pick up harmonics. Double or half the frequency of the target cell phone. Voila. The signal is signifcantly reduced, but it is still there. Cheap radio = cheap filters that don't block harmonics well. There are various other ways that are cheap and effective.

If Bill Clinton's name is attached in any way, it isn't impossible............
And this is wrong WHY? Let's take it apart:
"Pax Americana." What part don't you like, Joe? "Pax"? I thought all you peaceniks had agreed that Pax was a good thing. Does peace become less desirable if America is involved? We've had peace on our continent for 140 years. Does that suck so bad? Can Europe say that? Can Asia say that? Can the Middle East say that? Can Africa say that? Can Aust... okay, I guess Australia can say it. I think. I dunno. Whatever.
Anyway! "Vassal regimes that control restive populations." Well, how are the current regimes doing and what kind of regimes are they? Theocracies and leftover vassals of the former USSR. I guess vassal regimes only suck if they are American. Cause Ba'ath is visibly descended from Stalin.
"Curbing anti-Western dissent. "Oh, is THAT bad? You WANT them demonizing the West? Why would that be, Joe? Cause you hate America? That why?
This guy is such a POS... well skru him. I'm all for Pax Americana, vassal regimes, curbing anti-Western sentiment, and hegemony. Cause someone's going to have do it and I've seen enough of Marxism and Islam to know I don't want them in charge.
If only. Unfortunately, non-freepers have a 45 day memory. By Christmas they'll have long since forgotten. A few new spectacular murders, a terrorist attack in the Philippines, some made up scandal involving... I don't know, Bill Frist or Fred Thompson.... they'll forget.
Uh huh. Let's find out who at the CIA sent Mr. Wilson on his little trip, shall we? It wasn't Cheney.
It was WMD Barbie, Wilson's liberal idiot wife.
