Excuse me, but outing a CIA agent is a crime worthy of investigation. Writing a political planning memo is free speech, embarrassing maybe, but definitely not a crime. Hence, nothing to investigate.

The CIA agent leak is potentially more serious than Clinton's perjury. It is also more damaging since it appears to have been retribution for her husband speaking the truth and outing an administration lie.

You really have no idea what you are talking about. Why don't you read up on the issues before commenting?

Fact: Plame has not been an "active" agent for at least ten years; she is an analyst -- a desk job. She's a pencil-pusher, nothing more.

Fact: Everyone in the beltway knew her identity; it was no secret. Nobody was "outed".

Fact: The memo we are talking about discusses the launch of a sham investigation for the sole purpose of doing opposition research for the DNC (using classified information and the resources of the intelligence committee), and then using a loophole in the committee rules to attach it (unsubstantiated or verified) to the main report. Aside from being a crime under 18 U.S.C., it is also a violation of two Senate rules of ethics and one rule of the Committee itself. Free speech does not protect those who incite the commission of a crime or "bad acts." Every law student knows that.

Fact: The memo also advocates the unlawful (violates 50 U.S.C. and Committee rules) verbal disclosure of classified material.

Do your homework.

If you're going to repeat this chorus with all the other leftists, at least fix the meter and the rhyme first.

We've given up hope that any of you will fix the false assertions. Those are only good for a joke.

Well .. I wouldn't equate writing a planning memo to writing a memo plotting to USE a govt position to undermine the President. Plotting to commit a crime is a crime.

Next .. the admin didn't lie .. and to this day the UK still stands by the yellowcake info. The President only quoted what the UK told them .. there is no way you can make a lie out of that. For you to say otherwise is just pathetic.

The yellowcake affair with Wilson was done for one purpose only .. to STOP THE USA FROM GOING TO WAR. Why ..?? Well .. the Clintons were just trying to protect their corrupt friends, the French, the Germans and the Russians.

Also .. if you look at the activities of the Clintons during the runup to the war, you will find they were globetrotting (in the pretext of selling Hillary's book). After schmoozing with all the leaders of the world WHO DID NOT SUPPORT THE WAR (because they were involved in corrupt dealings with Saddam) .. the Clintons ended up in the UK. While they were there, they attended a cocktail party with Tony Blair. Clinton told Blair that if Blair continued to hold on to his partnership with Bush (to go to war) .. Blair was going to lose his job.

Now .. why would Clinton make such a statement if he didn't already know about the Wilson plot, and how it was intended to make fools out of Bush and Blair ..??

However .. as usual .. the liberals have misunderestimated the President and the PM of the UK.

Remember .. the Clinton regime believed that the way to world peace was to SHARE WITH EVERYONE THE SAME MISSLE AND WAR TECHNOLOGY .. thereby eliminating the need for war because everyone would have the same stuff. Anyone who believes that idiocy is an idiot themselves. And .. Ms. Albright is on record as making that statement for her admin.

I guess Blair made his choice, because when he came to speak before our Congress. During that speech, Blair pretty basically said that America is not be required to SHARE it's military technology with the rest of the world, and anyone who thinks so is outdated in their thinking. I believe this was a BREAK in the Clinton/Blair relationship.

Sooooo .. as you can see .. the Clintons continue to try to undermine President Bush (as close to Treason as you can get - along with the Senate's memos) .. while also trying to CYA. I believe this investigation will expose the Clinton holdovers within the govt who are there for one purpose only .. to do whatever the Clintons want .. which is to try to get President Bush impeached! The Clintons want power AT ANY COST!

These people are sick (the Clintons and their goons), and for you to even imply that you support them speaks volumes about you.
