Plame Says Government Betrayed Her Trust
Associated Press ^ | July 14, 2006 | Toni Locy

Posted on 07/14/2006 7:50:16 AM PDT by PDR

Former CIA officer Valerie Plame and her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, said Friday they decided to sue Vice President Dick Cheney and presidential adviser Karl Rove because they engaged in a "whispering campaign" to destroy her career.

Plame told at a news conference she trusted the government to protect her and that the government "betrayed that trust. I'd much rather be continuing my career as a public servant than as a plaintiff in a lawsuit."

She trusted government... to hide the fact that her husband outed her in 2002?

Boy do I hear you about these advertisers....

Last weekend, my 6 yr old gr-daughter spent the night..and she watched the Disney Channels all evening...

Other than cereal commercials, or commercials for movies...the ONLY commercial that wasn't a kid product was a Progressive Insurance commercial...on KID'S TV...

They just can't help themselves...I HATE seeing their ads..and turn the channel...because I know their agenda.

Brief NRO editorial on the Plame thing here:

If any doubt remained that the CIA-leak case is merely a political ploy by Democrats and their media allies, columnist Robert Novak put it to rest Wednesday when he published an account of his role in the affair. According to Novak, an administration official (whom Novak still won’t reveal, but whom most suspect to be former deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage) “inadvertent[ly]” told him that Joe Wilson’s wife worked at the CIA and had recommended her husband for the now-infamous trip to Niger. Novak then confirmed this information with Karl Rove and CIA spokesman Bill Harlow (although the details of those conversations remain a matter of dispute), and looked up Joe Wilson in Who’s Who in America to get his wife’s name. Two things stand out about this sequence of events. First, it doesn’t even remotely resemble the picture painted by the media of a thuggish administration that exposed Wilson’s wife as a matter of personal retaliation. Novak says he asked someone who was “not a political gunslinger” why Wilson was selected for the Niger trip, got an accurate answer, and reported it. Second, Novak’s version involves details of conversations that happened years ago, and it isn’t surprising that different people have different recollections of them. Bob Novak and Karl Rove disagree about what they said in their conversation. Karl Rove had a separate conversation with reporter Matt Cooper, and these two disagree about what they said. Matt Cooper had a separate conversation with Scooter Libby, and — one detects a pattern here — these two disagree about what they said. The natural tendency of people to have different recollections of the same event is hardly proof that Scooter Libby committed a crime. It is increasingly obvious that, not only was there no conspiracy to “out” Valerie Plame, there was no perjury or obstruction of justice either. There was, rather, an out-of-control investigation that went way too far.

The way I see it, the DNC is being "led" by a semi lunatic in the first place, and they have no "new" ideas to fall back on.

It's a good thing that the DNC staffers you worked with are likely no longer influential in the dumbocrat party, otherwise they would actually have followed the course you suggest. I don't see that happening with the current cadre in charge of that insane asylum! :)

ABC News just played the audio clip of victim Plame whinning at the news conference of how the administration has destroyed their lives and put their safety in danger. Not a word by ABC quoting an administration rebuttal (maybe there hasn't been one yet; has Tony commented?)...

I think Tony is probably traveling with the president at the G8 and we won't hear from him until next week.

On a side note to your FANTASTIC post.............don't you love that Lewis and Soros combined with billions of dollars to the "Joint Victory Committee" only to lose BIG TIME to the honorable work of the Bush/Cheney campaign?

It still makes my heard glad to know that evil was overcome in November, 2004. To GOD be the Glory!

"She betrayed the taxpayers supporting her with salary when she pushed her unqualified husband to go have tea in Niger on our dime (so he could then push his political agenda)."


Oh, he was qualified. He was recommended, by his wife, to spy on sales of yellowcake between the President of Niger and Saddam.

TWICE.

Once during Clinton's admin. Once during Bush's admin.

Because he was already going to Niger on company business.
What does his company do? What were they doing in Niger that he had to go?

Answer these questions and you will have the truth of what this is all really about, and why the fake memo appeared to divert attention from where the real sales occurred.
