RULES!

[Darkwolf377]

Despite the colloquialism being used on TV to describe the relevant criminal offense, the law does not criminalize "revealing the name" of a covert operative. If it did, every introduction of an operative at a cocktail party or a neighborhood picnic would constitute a felony. "Revealing the name of" is shorthand to describe what the law does criminalize: Intentionally revealing a covert operative as a covert operative, knowing it will blow the operative's cover.

A VERY important point.

The crime, if any, was committed by the reporters who reported who Plame was.

Come looky...this is good!

Picture please. You know the rules. Something in a swimsuit perhaps.

#1 question: WHO at the CIA okayed a Democrat FORMER Ambassador and a Bush hater that has NO uranium expertise to go to Niger and sip sweet tea and meet with "people" for a week? He didn't even WRITE A REPORT!!!

WHO SIGNED OFF ON THIS SCAM????!!!!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Did Rush write this ?

[SueRae]

Oh yeah!!!!! Tell 'em Ann.

[Rummyfan]

Wednesday nights with Ann Coulter!

Ann will be on Hannity&Colmes this evening.

[SmithL]

I owe you a ping or two, and this is well worth reading.

[Lurker]

AC nails it again.

Excellent!

Plunk your magic twanger, froggy Clown Wilson!

[Cicero]

A very enjoyable read. She almost had me convinced that maybe Plame sent her husband on a propaganda junket on her own authority.

But if the CIA paid his expenses, somebody at a higher level must have approved this ridiculous and possibly criminal appointment. Who?

Who was the CIA official who was complicit in this deliberate attempt to undermine the Bush war effort by an amateur who had no business doing the job he was given to do? Tenet has denied responsibility. But surely some Friend of Bill's who was in on the plot, possibly Tenet himself. Certainly Tenet worked hard to undermine the Iraqi war before he was fired.

[sarasmom]

Big BTTT!

[DManA]

The most astonishing thing about this to me is that when Wilson wrote his Op-Ed, he HADN'T EVEN TURNED IN A REPORT TO THE CIA!!!

[EagleUSA]

..Driven by that weird obsession liberals have of pretending they are Republicans in order to attack Republicans...
------
Yes, the statement captures the long-standing truth that the libs ALWAYS ACCUSE THE REPUBS OF DOING EXACTLY WHAT THEY DO...good article...it sure AGAIN exposes another lying, loser liberal Dem (or just Dem fo short, same thing) for what they really are...liars, cheats, criminals working real hard to make people believe they are not...

index. This wil be great for my letter to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel inrebuttal to the anti Rove editorial this morning.

Editorial: Should this leak sink Rove?

[narby]

Since the Senator Church days, apparently the agency has been completely infiltrated with raving leftists. Bush needs to clean some house.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

So important was Wilson's fact-finding mission to Niger that he wasn't paid and he produced no written report.

Eh? Governments run on paperwork. They thrive on it. They can not live without it. If there was no report then what the heck was Wilson doing in Africa on my dime? Or was it even on my dime? Was he sent by the government at all? This is very strange.

[generationfixit]

Sometimes I am trying to put my arms on the lunacy of a subject and just in time-- Coulter writes an article spelling it all out.

AWESOME

[Tacis]

I like the liberal argument in this that suggests that Rove had one or more go to guys in the media that he trusted with secret data. It would mean that Rove, on one hand, is diabolically clever and, on the other, is stupid enough to trust a media type. The left wing media would do/say anything to make W look bad and a secret leaked to the media would immediately, in turn, be leaked to another presstitute.

Who would believe that Rove would trust ANY ONE in the media? Who would believe that ANY ONE in the media is trustworthy?
