"I outed Plame!"
I OUTED PLAME ALREADY! NOW WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! This story has more legs than a millipede!
Her husband outed her a while back in one of his books.
Valerie Plame outed Valerie Plame.
Plame and Wilson outed themselves. There aren't ANY secrets inside the Beltway.
You have to expect the press to be upset over this one. Two of their guys ended up in jail, and now they want revenge. Pretty infantile, but, hey, look who we're talking about here.

MSM chasing its tail
But veteran investigative reporter Seymour Hersh says that retired CIA clandestine officers may have forged the documents as part of a "sting operation" against the Bush administration.
Writing in a recent issue of the New Yorker magazine, Hersh reports the intent may have been to embarrass "Iraqi hawks at the top of the Bush administration." These officers calculated that the "hawks" couldn't resist using the forgeries to make their case and would then look foolish when the hoax was revealed. But, Hersh writes, the tactic backfired and the forgeries gained "widespread acceptance within the administration." If true, Hersh has uncovered a scandal that could easily eclipse the Wilson affair. But so far, the media have ignored Hersh's allegations. Is that because the White House was the intended victim of the hoax?
Also, an article I found while doing research on the multitude of CIA resignations a few days ago, which at the time I dismissed as moonbat rantings...BUT:
Why did DCI George Tenet suddenly resign on June 3rd, only to be followed a day later by James Pavitt, the CIA's Deputy Director of Operations (DDO)?SourceThe real reasons, contrary to the saturation spin being put out by major news outlets, have nothing to do with Tenet's role as taking the fall for alleged 9/11 and Iraqi intelligence “failures” before the upcoming presidential election.
Both resignations, perhaps soon to be followed by resignations from Colin Powell and his deputy Richard Armitage, are about the imminent and extremely messy demise of George W. Bush and his Neocon administration in a coup d'etat being executed by the Central Intelligence Agency. The coup, in the planning for at least two years, has apparently become an urgent priority as a number of deepening crises threaten a global meltdown.
Shortly after the “surprise” Tenet-Pavitt resignations, current and former senior members of the U.S. intelligence community and the Justice Department told journalist Wayne Madsen, a former Naval intelligence officer, that they were directly connected to the criminal investigation of a 2003 White House leak that openly exposed Valerie Plame as an undercover CIA officer.
Seymour Hersh dropped a major bombshell that went virtually unnoticed, 54 paragraphs deep into an October 27, 2003 story for the New Yorker titled “The Stovepipe.”
“Who produced the fake Niger papers? There is nothing approaching a consensus on this question within the intelligence community. There has been published speculation about the intelligence services of several different countries. One theory, favored by some journalists in Rome, is that [the Italian intelligence service] Sismi produced the false documents and passed them to Panorama for publication.“Another explanation was provided by a former senior C.I.A. officer. He had begun talking to me about the Niger papers in March, when I first wrote about the forgery, and said, 'Somebody deliberately let something false get in there.'
He became more forthcoming in subsequent months, eventually saying that a small group of disgruntled retired C.I.A. clandestine operators had banded together in the late summer of last year and drafted the fraudulent documents themselves.”
Okay...there is much misinformation in the article which has now been disproven, as Rove/Bush/Cheney were not legally complicit in the leak Plame's name, but what about the basic premise that this whole thing was a coup set up by the CIA? That would explain the shakeup at the CIA. You will notice that Powell's name is in there too, and he did resign in that time frame, just as they said. They are now trying to hang that State Dept. memo around Bush's neck. The information in the memo had to have come from the CIA as it explained how Wilson was chosen for the trip. As another Freeper said days ago and I paraphrase..."asking for info on Wilson who claimed he went to Niger due to a request from the VP's office seems like a natural reaction to me". Call me a ravingnutter, but there just happens to be more "there" in this story than the one the media is spinning wildly, it just fits so neatly. It's not like we are playing six degrees here...all roads lead back to the CIA.
Story was published one day after Wilson's NYT article IIRC, and had pre-cisely the same agenda.
Claimed CIA connexions.
The monkey-shines shenanigans may shed light on the motivation for the Wilson=Plame escapade.
Has Doug Thompson of Capitol Hill Blue testified before the grand jury?

The press informs the judges that the CIA itself "inadvertently" compromised Plame by not taking appropriate measures to safeguard classified documents that the Agency routed to the Swiss embassy in Havana. In the Washington Times article — you remember, the one the press hypes when it reports to the federal court but not when it reports to consumers of its news coverage — Gertz elaborates that "[t]he documents were supposed to be sealed from the Cuban government, but [unidentified U.S.] intelligence officials said the Cubans read the classified material and learned the secrets contained in them."The media know the facts, since their attorneys cited these facts on their behalf in court.
Furthermore, besides the media, Fitzgerald must also know the facts. Why does he keep investigating a non-crime?
