I'm inclined to believe as you do. The stench on this thing has the Klintoons scent all over it.

I'm suspecting that Joe Wilson is a bit demented and needs medical help immediately.

[beckett]

I stopped reading after "fact #1" because "fact #1" is not a fact but simply an allegation, and a rather weak one at that. By listing it as a "fact" the schockingly unscrupulous and sinister LeBoutillier proves he is no more worth reading on this subject than he has been on any other subject for the last several years.

to 'slime' whistle-blowing former US Ambassador Joseph Wilson and his wife, by revealing that she, Valeria Plame, is a CIA agent.

This makes no sense to me. I'm sure if someone wanted to slime this guy, they could have come up with something a lot more creative than 'outing' his wife. How does that qualify as a slime?

[harpo11]

Thank you for the links. Very interesting. Novak did use the words " Agency operative". I wonder what is the definition of those words in Novak's mind? He knows more than all of these hyena democrats since he wrote the article.

John L is a jerk - always has been. Also, he is a Bush hater, and he is so constantly negative and wrong so much of the time I really don't read much of his stuff anymore.

Good post.

This Wilson AND his wife, Valerie Plame, should be thoroughly investigated.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were both into espionage.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

The CIA refers on average, fifty cases for investigation to the Justice Department, every year. Do they all rise to this same level of suspicion that you claim they do? And if so, how many of those are prosecuted every year?

[mdittmar]

From post 16

According to a confidential source at the CIA, Mrs. Wilson was an analyst, not a spy, not a covert operative and not in charge of undercover operators."

And the thlot plickens;)

Novak,when your in a hole,quit digging.

[eddie willers]

Excellent post.

[Jack Black]

You say this: 1) The facts: In July two high level White House aides called at least six DC reporters - one of whom was Robert Novak - to 'slime' whistle-blowing former US Ambassador Joseph Wilson and his wife, by revealing that she, Valeria Plame, is a CIA agent.

Why are you so sure it's a fact? We know about Novak and what he wrote. He denies the White House called. Who are the other five reporters? At this point your lead fact is meerly an accusation. I'm not sure who made it, but it certainly can not be stipulated as a fact. Everything else follows from this, so if it is shown to be just a baseless accusation then all the other facts in your post become meaningless and the scandel is over.

a stupid policy, an erroneous policy, and frankly what was a false policy of suggesting that there was nuclear material in Iraq that required this war.

That sentence alone tells me all I need to know about Larry Johnson.

BTW...welcome to FR.</sarcasm>

[GEC]

-Larry Johnson, a former counter-terrorism official at the CIA and the State Department.

I'm sorry, but this mini-bio is an oxymoron that casts doubt on Johnson's credibility.

"...and savage a stupid policy, an erroneous policy, and frankly what was a false policy of suggesting that there was nuclear material in Iraq that required this war."

And this passage indicates his motivation for his comments.

Cliff May (another reporter) has said that on at least two occasions he was told by political types (at least one of them a democrat) that Wilson's wife was in the CIA. If these people knew she was in the CIA in whatever capacity, don't you think that every intelligence agency in the WORLD knew it too?

[Palladin]

I see you just joined Free Republic today.

All the Dem munchkins are getting very busy just before the Cali election.

[Lael]

Wilson is a liar--

At the very least he and his "Compromised Wife" should be prosecuted under the Logan Act for unauthorized Foreign Policy moves.

BTW, I'm not at all troubled by this...The STUPID Party learned something from the last eight years of the EVIL Party.

[Palladin]

These Johnson statements do not ring true.

Under cover for three decades? How the hell old is she? She has 3 year old twins!

Do the math.

[GEC]

Wasn't the guy who called Wesley Clark from the Montreal branch of the MEI, or is that some other organization?

[willieroe]

I was just about to post the same thing!
