Too bad Valerie Plame wasn't a covert agent, wasn't outed by "Scooter" Libby (it was Colin Powell's boy Armitage) and is a political hack, like her husband.

WOW who's gonna lie this time?

I'm sick of this stuff.. How about the House committee to investigate the Crime of the Century why Sandy Berger stole documents which are now lost to the historical record of what caused the government to fail and stop 911 from happening... that is the real story... enough of this witch hunt crap.

I would hope this will all be under oath. So if anyone lies, send them to prison.

This should be interesting. I can't wait to hear the testimony. Will it be closed door?

[Lancey Howard]

If the Republicans aren't wringing their hands in glee over the opportunity to grill that sick scumbag Plame, there's something wrong with them. Anybody know what Republicans are on that committee? Is there anybody with the guts to get to the bottom of the rogue CIA/State Department operation to smear Bush for the benefit of the Democrats?

Is there anybody with the guts to ask Plame why she sent her husband on a junket to Niger where he naively believed a couple of diplomats who assured him over cocktails that Saddam was not trying to get his hands on yellow cake uranium.

Is there a Republican with the guts to make it clear that new evidence shows that indeed Iraq WAS trying to score the yellow cake uranium, just like British intelligence has maintained all along?

Good grief! These hearings could be LOADS of great fun - - IF there are still any Republicans with a spine.

I think these "hearings" will be trying to get some information out that they think would be helpful to Wilson's civil suit to extract more information and publicity and money.

As I understand it, they filed civil suit in US District Court in DC. Just like Fitzfongs's charade, this lawsuit can only succeed in DC, as the sad and pathetic case of Denis Collins has already shown.

Could this case be moved out of DC, if not dismissed?

Hillary and Sandy Berger were not even indicted because there was no chance of convicting them in DC. On the other hand, following the example of Libby's conviction (sure to be overturned on appeal) by "jury of his peers" libs can use courts in DC the way they now use courts like 9th Circuit Court to make life and work in DC even more miserable and dangerous for Republicans.

Libs are using huge numerical advantage of DC Court jury makeup like unaccountable mafia, to intimidate political opponents. I think that fact should be addressed as soon as possible, because it's clearly [becoming] a factor in legal-political mix. Political trials must be moved out of DC.

Testimony? Is she going to be placed under oath?

[silverleaf]

At the hearing, the Committee will receive testimony from Ms. Wilson and other experts regarding the disclosure

I sure hope the hearing includes a review of the propriety of Valerie's 3rd date with married ambassador Joe Wilson - where she told him she worked for the CIA- in the midst of a heavy makeout session. As described by Joe in his book.
