White House urged to 'come clean' in CIA leak case Maryland Democrat tells Bush to honor pledge to fire officials

Saturday, November 5, 2005; Posted: 3:32 p.m. EST (20:32 GMT)

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush should "come clean" about any White House officials involved in the leak of the name of undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame and "honor his pledge to fire all those involved," Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland said Saturday in the Democrats' weekly radio address.

"It's been one week since the vice president's chief of staff was indicted, and there are still very serious questions about how his White House misused and manufactured intelligence to sell and defend the war in Iraq," Mikulski said.

Democrats last week forced the Republican-controlled Senate into an unusual closed session, questioning information that Bush used in the run-up to the war in Iraq and accusing Republicans of ignoring the issue. (Full story)

Republicans later agreed to a bipartisan review of the Senate Intelligence Committee's investigation into prewar intelligence.

Vallely said, citing CIA colleagues, that in addition to his conversations with Wilson, the ambassador was proud to introduce Plame at cocktail parties and other social events around Washington as his CIA wife.

"That was pretty common knowledge," he said Friday. "She's been out there on the Washington scene many years."

If Plame were a covert agent at the time, Vallely said, "he would not have paraded her around as he did."

"This whole thing has become the biggest non-story I know," he concluded, "and all created by Joe Wilson." WorldNetDaily- Joe Wilson fumes over Vallely charges in WND

But it WOULD include John F. Kerry, who actually DID out a covert CIA agent.

But he was allowed, because a CIA agent gave him a hat in Cambodia on his way to kill a rogue Green Beret that had built a secret army of indigenous people.

That CIA agent later became the President of the United States (on TV).

I saw it in the theater, so I know it must be true.

If anyone thinks that the Libby trial won't be the "fight back", then they don't know the Bush/Rove strategery.

Why would Libby reject a plea bargain? Why would he plead not guilty at the trial and actually stand trial?

Hmmmmmm.....I see the Bush/Robe train running over the Wilson/Plame/DEM team.

[nopardons]

Clinton WAS impeached! As a matter of fact, he is the ONLY elected president to be impeached, in the entire history of America. Johnson was impeached, but he NEVER was elected president. And the Senate didn't convict him either; though that was by the slimmest of margins...one vote.

Only the HOUSE can impeach; the Senate either acquits or convicts. The Senate refused to gave a for real trial and they also refused to convict and throw the Clintons out of the White House.

Most likely President Bush knew before making that comment that Plame had not been a covert agent while he was President. see post 21

Exactly. The White House may be indeed waiting for such an opportunity. The DUmmies are thinking they will call Cheney to trial and strip the Administrartion, but it may be the Wilson/Plame/DEM team that stands naked in court.

Time will tell, and truth has a way of catching up.

I meant fight back against the insane Dems trying to gin up support for an impeachment hearing of GWB.

[RussP]

Thanks. Unfortunately, for all the talk about the dying mainstream media, they are still pretty strong. My little article will hit them like a pea-shooter. But if a million others hit them with pea-shooters too, maybe we can bring them down!

[justa-hairyape]

The dimwits are utilizing the MSM to continue their brainwashing of the sheeple. On local news we are hearing about how 'Libby was indicted IN the leaking of Plames name'. They cannot say FOR leaking her name. So they substitute IN for FOR and try to give the listener the impression that he was indicted FOR leaking. Lying and brainwashing are the only platform they have now.

[indianrightwinger]

LOL! Combodia. You mean 50 miles off the border. Oh, the shooting and the bravery. Don't forget the hat!

[indianrightwinger]

Mr. Nopardons,

You correct me again. Yes, that is what I meant. But, it did not pass your scrutiny for accuracy. :-)

The Senate is still filled with wimpy RINOs.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

" Isn't it ironic how concerned Democrats have suddenly become about the well-being of the CIA and its agents. " ....

That only happens when they stand a change to gain from this and use it as a political tool to bring down the President and his administration.

The C.I.A. now is only useful to them if they can use it to their advantage, then after that, they trow them overboard.

[indianrightwinger]

Fighting back does not have to be on the media waves.

Although, folks like me don't mind red meat fight, the Administration may be waiting for the right moment to strike.

[Beckwith]

she wasn't undercover and she was a CIA analyst

... and she wasn't an operative

[tomnbeverly]

John Kerry blew the cover of CIA secret operative Fulton Armstrong during confirmation hearings for U.N. ambassador nominee John Bolton. Kerry should be in jail right now...

[Cindy]

The trial should be interesting.

[nopardons]

And here's yet another correction...it's MRS.! :-)

We can only go by what you write. What you posted was incorrect. Ergo, it matter not one whit what you "meant" to post; what matters, is what you DID post.

I know that you weren't born here and that all of this is a bit more difficult for you, but we just can't let errors sit out there, uncorrected on threads, now can we? Lots of people read FR and we all must try to keep FR looking the best it can.

Yes, there are still some RINOS in the Senate. Unfortunately, we need them, to maintain the majority. No Conservative will EVER get elected from most of the states the worst RINOS come from and it is far better to retain the majority we have, than to lose it and have the likes of Harry Reid and Hillary Clinton etc. as the CHAIRMEN of ALL of the committees.

That is where the war is being fought.
