does he have no responsibility for national security?
What national security issue? Revealing Plame's employment at the CIA?
The only folks that have made the national security claim is the MSM.
Novak called the CIA before his column went to print, and asked if she was undercover and protected. The CIA was silent. They have a duty to protect her and decided not to. She was apparently not covert.
Suck it, Trabek.
I'm novak and I'm important..........Jusst another bozzo.
It is, under certain circumstances, against the law to reveal a relationship of an individual to the CIA. But in what sense, precisely, is the publishing by Novak of the CIA's employment of Valerie Plame Wilson "an issue of national security?"The (alledged) facts I have seen do not support the conclusion that what was done was even against the law, but if in fact it had been - if Mrs. Wilson had in fact been undercover overseas within 4.9 years of the publishing of her relationship with the CIA rather than in excess of five years as the law states - that would not in and of itself make it "an issue of national security."
I trust the Democratic Party and the "mainstream media" to tell me if any CIA contacts were "burned" by the so-called "outting" by Novak. It hardly seems, in this case, that the CIA would be holding back on it - after having forwarded the initial case to Justice. So I say, "no harm, no foul."
If this is an "issue of national security," it is so only to the extent that the Commander-in-chief and his staff are being gratuitously distracted and disrupted with trifles.
Someone needs to borrow his ladder while he isn't looking.
Logic will not work against this guy. He isn't even coming back because he knows he's wrong. I just pointed out the hypocrisy of letting Joe Wilson slide on his breach of "national security."
The fact that Valerie contributed $1000 to the Dems, using her super secret (pretend) work address besides, on the day after they returned $1000 to Joe is a big clue.
Novak probably knew Valerie before she married Joe. They lived at the Watergate for cripes sakes and he was still married to Jacqueline. It's not as if Plame was a pretend name. The only connection between her maiden name and married name that I can see is that Joe went to Niger the first time during the Clinton administration. They knew her as Valerie Plame before April 23, 1998. Wonder who was at their wedding??
If he such a straight shooter then why don't he end all the BS about nothing and reveal what he knows and save the tax payers a bunch of money. He is as self serving as all the other butt wipe media whores in DC...
I'm noticing in a Cooper column...that Cooper says....I don't know if those are my words or his (Rove's). Gee...I'd call that worthless testimony.
I guess keeping Novak shut up is job security for Fitz?? What a crock of $hit the whole thing is...apparently everyone knew that broad was a CIA whore...excuse me employee..
I think you are confused. Kerry IS NOT my boy by any means! What made you say that?
All I am saying is that you should be concerned with "leaks" in the government. Especially when no one ends up taking responsibility for it and top officials have knowledge of it.
What if we're "pretty sure" that he doesn't? Then what? Stale mate? LOL
National Security? How so?
George W. Bush is the President of the United States. His man Porter Goss is CIA Director and his Dad used to be CIA Director (oh yeah, and President). Fitzgerald works for the Justice Department and reports to somebody. Bush is at the top of that food chain, too.
Friggin' duh - - of course Bush knows who the "leaker" is. He can basically find out anything he wants to know. I am confident that Bush doesn't have a care in the world about any of this Plame nonsense.
In the way that people are shooting their mouths of about covert ops.
Novak must be worrying he's not getting enough invitations this year to the important D. C. "holiday" parties and wants to cause a little of the buzz that will raise the value of his seasonal presence to the lib hosts and guests therein.
You're right. Just because you sound like John Kerry doesn't mean that Kerry is your boy.
But not "leaks" by partisan hacks whose wives work for the CIA?
Shhhh, don't tell anyone I'm a covert operative. LOL!
