Senators May Have Blown Cover of CIA Agent

[Just mythoughts]

I tend to agree with your description. I heard JFKerry in his upon high brow beating of Mr. Bolton, appearing to do to Mr. Bolton the very thing he was attempting to accuse Mr. Bolton of doing to "Mr. Smith". There was absolutely no doubt about WHOM JFKerry was referring to.

Interestingly Mr. Bolton in responding to the little 'god' JFKerry used Mr. Smith.

No, but it might not have been as obvious as when Kerry did.

Looks like the WaPo picked it up too.

Notice they point out where Kerry did but not where Lugar did.

Yeah it looks like Lugar did too but it was before they started calling him Mr. Smith. It was just after Bolton's opening statement.

There's a transcript over here.

No, I don't.

Punishment: $50,000 fine and up to 10 years in jail!!

We could dream! ;-)

Well .. just don't hold your breath! I don't see any democrats being held accountable for anything.

[tiredoflaundry]

Oh I know it. This will be swept under the carpet(the Kerry part), but If Lugar did mention the name "Mr. Armstrong" in his opening statement,THAT WILL BE THE STORY!

[shhrubbery!]

C-Span is about to switch to today's hearing in a minute or two. (Tuesday at 9:30 am EDT.)

I think the C-span announcer said the panel would feature those interviewees who gave Bolton so much trouble. Wonder if the no longer mysterious "Mr. Smith" will be there, hehheh.

I can't watch all of it, but hope y'all can listen -- real closely -- and report back.

[CyberAnt]

And .. since Lugar supposedly said it first that would absolve Kerry. As usual .. the scum get a pass.

[Lx]

Gee, both an R and a D did it. No wonder AP reported it. To take the heat off of Skerry. Did Luger actually use his name and who did it first?

[shhrubbery!]

Oops, to edit my post 68: Today's (Tuesday's) hearing on John Bolton is apparently being shown live only on C-SPAN 3.

I don't get C-SPAN 3, drat.

Confirmation hearing for John Negroponte is supposed to be coming up on C-SPAN 1 at 10 am.

[shhrubbery!]

Lugar did it first.

HOWEVER, Lugar's mention of the name did not raise a red flag for most viewers, I'm sure. See post 40.

Only Kerry mentioned Armstrong's name in a context in which viewers would say "AHA! He just divulged the CIA agent's REAL name."

Apparently, this report is accurate.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[VRWCmember]

And .. Biden didn't say the guy's name - at least not that I heard.

Well, he did -- but he was plagiarizing kerry at the time.

[mickie]

Kerry is so dammed stupid. In your wildest nightmare can you picture HIM as our president???

[Kaslin]

Yeah but noticed AP used may have. You can bet if Bolton used the real name the title in the article would be

Bolton used real name of CIA agent
