I'm listening to Rush's opening comments--he is covering VWP's remarks about how it wasn't widely known on the cocktail circuit that she was a covert agent.

Glad to hear Rush discussing it! She was admitting SOME people must have known, at least inside the cocktail circuit--

So where are they, to confirm that it was known? If she knew that people knew, why was she still doing it?

They weren't acting on behalf of Iraq, but the DNC, Howard Dean, and the Clinton Shadow Government...

He's just upset because I said I didn't want a guy with an Uzi living next door to me.

"Supposedly not true but when did truth matter?"

I thought the source for the story they wanted to work for Richardson was the Wilsons themselves. I won't vouch for their veracity, however. Maybe Hillary offerred them a better deal. Their own advancement seems to be their primary preoccupation.

they should be holding their own political theater in parallel, a mock hearing with cardboard cutouts of Joe and Valerie as "witnesses"....

LOL. What a great idea.

He wrote that he WENT on a "secret" mission for the CIA's WMD dept, which then endangered his "covert" wife.

If the CIA was concerned about secrecy, he would not have been given permission to reveal.

Now who gave him that permission?

Good gosh! They should use stem cells from his nose and implant them into bloodhounds. They would be really good trackers.

It's ridiculous and an affront to every single person who believes in the truth.

General Michael Hayden, President Bush's appointed Director of Central Intelligence said she was covert. So I'm wondering what the deal is.

"Val now says she and Joe had no political agenda"

Which is why Joe wrote his article and sold himself to the Kerry campaign. Where he had space on Kerry's website. Oh me, there's no lie these people won't tell.

"Did anyone ask what harm the outing years ago did to her idenity?"

I've been told that most of the Republicans are boycotting the hearings. So far I've only heard about two of the Repubs that did show up.

She was asked by someone how the "outing" damaged her career, and she was pretty sketchy in her responses. No emotion involved...just claiming that she couldn't do the job she had done previously.

The deal is that a cadre of FReepers know far more about her status than the DNI does. That's the only plausible interpretation of what they are saying.

I wish I could pinpoint the date when facts became irrelevant on FR.

But of course, and every govt employee in that room probably got paid for a day's work.

The Clerk, the Chaplain, the Sergeant at arms, etc.

All the people in the gallery (who could be heard saying the Pledge of Allegiance) really got their money's worth for going through all the hassle required to get a pass to the gallery.

So...the GOP is still naive enough to think that this hearing and the testimony by Plame and Waxman and gang won't be portrayed as the REAL truth...

And that this won't be used to further promote the need for impeachment of Bush and Cheney??

Plame says she DID NOT send her husband, did not recommend him and she did not have the authority

She did not recommend him; she just suggested his name, but without recommendation. Remember, she is a trained liar. There is a weasel word in nearly every statement.

I believe she conveniently "forgot" to have him sign a secrecy statement. Somehow, that technicality works for them, but don't get into technicalities about whether she was "covert" etc.
