Plame Lawsuit Against Cheney Et Al Dismissed, Will Media Care?
Newsbusters ^ | August 12, 2008 - 16:55 ET | Noel Sheppard

Valerie Plame was dealt another setback Tuesday when a U.S. court of appeals upheld a federal judge's decision to dismiss her lawsuit against members of the Bush administration.

Given the media's fascination with this former CIA operative who has claimed for years she was illegally outed by the White House for political reasons, it will be interesting to see just how much attention this ruling gets in the next 48 hours.

This thing was pure politics. We know who outed her and that's the one guy she didn't sue.

The issue with the story went to print, but a glitch in the Editorial board resulted in the story being cut in favor of additional advertisement space for the Obama campaign... /sarc

A great book which has a whole chapter on the Wilson debacle is Sabotage: America's Enemies within the CIA, by Rowan Scarborough.

I always thought it was so ironic that the same people who hyperventilated about the alleged outing of a CIA operative, were in favor of the New York Times publishing the details of the Bush administration surveillance of calls and messages going overseas to suspected terrorist operatives.

I’m still confused as to whether or not she actually was an operative to be outed. I’ve heard that she was just a desk jockey analyst that doesn’t fall in the rules of anonymity and therefor not illegal to “out”.

What about the 550 metric tons of yellowcake out of Iraq. Every person I say this to does not believe me.

Freep it out!

Valerie was never the Secret...Joe was the one who was on the secret mission..."At No Charge" with "NO WRITTEN REPORT".

And Joe only said that they didn't acquire yellowcake THROUGH LEGAL CHANNELS.

And the reporter who made the story a "GO" (In his first week as Whitehouse reporter) is the hubby of Mandy Grunwald, Hillary's best friend and Bubba's old campaign manager.

IMHO, Hillary was behind the whole thing.

I’ll second that. Possibly that explains why no one even hinted at prosecuting Richard Armitage. It better served the purposes of the BDS claque to cling to the myth of Plame’s Special Covert Status, as the fundamental aim was to punish someone, anyone associated with the Bush WH staff, but hopefully VP Cheney. Acknowledging her non-covered status would compromise the dream.

Must have been conservative judges.
Obameo will take care of that.
