Who Exposed Secret Agent Plame?  ^

May This just in: Bob Novak did not reveal that Valerie Plame was an undercover agent for the CIA. Read — or reread — his column from July 14, 2003. All Novak reports is that the wife of former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson is “an Agency operative on weapons of mass destruction.” Novak has said repeatedly that he was not told, and that he did not know, that Plame was — or had ever been — a NOC, an agent with Non-Official Cover. He has emphatically said that had he understood that she was any sort of secret agent, he would...

I want to see Plames W-2 forms for the past 12 years.

[Darkwolf377]

Wilson, Corn--man, dems are a bunch of crybabies.

[blake6900]

What the h*ll is this? David Corn published an article only two days after Novak's column that exposed Plame in far greater detail than Novak had, and Fitzgerald is totally uninterested?!

Kinda makes ya think that reporters' sources aren't the real interest of the grand jury, huh?

As far as Corn is concerned I can't take him seriously until he grows an upper lip. Just how well does he know Barney Frank anyway?!

[leadpenny]

"Number of times I've been contacted by Patrick Fitzgerald, interviewed or contacted by his investigators, and called before the grand jury: 0."

That number will probably change, David.

David Corn is a smarmy obnoxious putz.
I change channels every time he is on.
Do us a service SP and put him away.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Again, as noted by others elsewhere, IF there was any real smoking gun against Rove, it WOULD have been used before the November 2004 election.

The Leftist desperate grasping at straws continues....

[digger48]

Why is Cornhole part of the White House Press Corps, getting cheap shots at McClellan??

I thought gay men who wrote for partisan papers were forbidden.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Maybe I'm just slow today but I read a post about May's column, with some quotes, and it made no sense. I hope the article made more sense in it's entirety.


And no-one needs to feel obligated to ping me to numerous articles about this nothing story.

No one broke the law so I'm sticking with my previous statement; who cares.

[Shermy]

Why bother? It was obvious Wilson was the leaker to Corn.

[Checkers]

David cornholes himself:

[savedbygrace]

Corn is clueless. The leaker is the one who first reports the "secret" to someone else. In this case, Corn was the someone else.

[Pukin Dog]

I wonder when he will figure out that what he did was not illegal, hence no call from the Prosecutor?

[airborne]

I seem to recall something about Corn's wife working for the Democratic Party.

Also, was it just gossip, reading that Valerie Plame was dating Joe Wilson while he was still married?

[Stultis]

The article link is just to Corn's website. The following link should go to this particular entry if you're reading this thread after it's scrolled:

The Rove Scandal: Now I'm Smeared as the Leaker

Hasn't Corn learned the rules? Wilson's got dibs on complaining about being smeared.

A Limerick about Joe Wilson: Perfidia

Joe took the Islamicists' side,
When he said that the President lied.
Since the Times spread Joe's tale,
Please put them in jail
And, certainly, Joe should be fried

For the record, or at least Mr. Wilson's version of the record:
"In February (2003), I had lunch with David Corn, the articulate and determined critic of the war. I had become acquainted with him when we kept bumping into each other in the "green room" at Fox. I shared with him my concerns about the imperial nature of the administration's drive to war, and he asked me to write an article for the Nation. He felt my "establishment" credentials would lend credibility to the point of view espoused by the magazine - a point of view I hasten to add, that, by and large, I had come to share. I agreed and the piece, entitled "Republic or Empire," was published in mid-February."


Page 318, The Politics of Truth

So let's see, Corn talks to Wilson long before Novak writes anything: Corn is interested in Wilson's "establishment" credentials. This occurs long before Wilson's NYT piece and before Novak's column.

Seems to me that part of Wilson's establishment credentials would have been that his wife had an inside view of where Iraq was on WMD. Over drinks at lunch, don't you think?

Dim's theme song on this:

(Sung by Patsy Cline--dunno who wrote it) "I Fall to Pieces."

[speekinout]

A blurb for a talk show Corn is on tonight shows him saying that Rove twice passed on classified information about Valerie (I think we are calling her "Wilson" now).

I'd watch the show, except that Corn is, to me, like fingernails on a chalkboard. I can't take it.

I guess he thinks if he says it enough, some people will believe it. Maybe so, but those are all confirmed Libs, anyway.
