Excellent description, Red Raider!
And now, Grampa Dave, I think we should see if we can find a connection between Plame, Wilson, and Foley to the odious Michael Moore, who has a book coming out on Monday which apparently is going to make the case for impeachment. I would not be surprised to find this entire thing coordinated by the denizens of Chappaqua. Weasely Clark's connection to Wilson seems to support this as an orchestrated effort.

Now Wilson has finally stated on tv the obvious fact to everyone but the GW haters.
This administration and GW would never leak intel or expose a real agent or source.
Since the 1960s and maybe before then, leaks and exposure of agents/sources/techniques have come from one political party, the DemonicRats. Both political and mediot Rats have worked 24/7/365 to harm/weaken/destroy the effectiveness our intel collection and processing for at least 4 decades.

Former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV said yesterday that the leak of his wife's name as a covert CIA official by Bush administration officials last July could have been for revenge or to undercut his criticisms of the Iraq war or to intimidate other government insiders from talking to journalists.
"I do believe, however, that the president would never have condoned or been party to anything like this," he said yesterday on NBC's "Meet the Press."
The Justice Department has begun an investigation into the unauthorized disclosure of the name of Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, who served in the CIA's operations division and acted clandestinely under what is called non-official cover. That means she worked in a position not associated with the U.S. government and when overseas on a spy mission was not protected by diplomatic immunity.
Asked whether he thought the leak had endangered his wife, Wilson said on CBS's "Face the Nation" that since the publicity of the Justice Department investigation, "other people" have suggested "perhaps this does make her a target." As a result, he said he and his wife were taking unspecified security precautions.

I think the retirement of Foley and the fact that he was Plame's boss will start to come back to haunt the rats.

Good point, Grampa Dave.

Absolute nonsense. Accurate description of your editorializing. Since you know so much, who killed Kennedy?

To: cyncooper; Grampa Dave
The scandal is why a group in the CIA was/is trying to undermine President Bush.Just got on this thread and I like the above quote, almost as much as your earlier assertion that this may be a "Wilson" generated leak. Makes more sense than a lot of other scenarios.

Nothing about this passes a most basic smell test.
Wilson himself is part of the problem.

Joe Wilson had the requisite security clearance to receive that information. You still running around spewing unsupported opinion? Who sent you your talking points?

wow. You'll say anything, won't you? Did you get that off of your talking points memo?

Published reports. As opposed to your practice of stating assumption as fact. Please remember, this was AFTER he was acting ambassador to Iraq in the runup to Gulf War I - you remember, don't you, when GHWB praised Wilson's courageous service to our country? - And that he was the last American to speak with Hussein before the war? - what kind of security clearance do YOU think one in that position would have?

You are doing nothing but reciting your talking points!
This is an old left wing trick to use talking points from the DNC and when challenged with reality to claim the other side is using talking points.
However, please keep it up as you are exposing yourself on Free Republic just like Foley/Wilson/Plame and their wh$res have.
Time for your next Phoney DNC Talking Point, your moleship!

Don't have one. I'm just sick of seeing people repeat lies, without a shred of backing, as fact in defense of a decidedly un-American act. Since you have not a single source for your lies, it follows that they must come from your talking points.

That's a great line. Sort of like "I am rubber, you are glue." Of course, you can't cite to a single source for your lies.

You said it all in two short sentences. Amen!
To: billorites
Irony No. 1: The Bush administration allegedly released the name of a CIA officer as political payback against the officers husband. Doesnt the Bush administration need the help and high morale of the CIA right now to help prosecute the War on Terror? What would it have to gain by putting a CIA operatives life in danger? One must assume the leaker knew he wasnt endangering Valerie Plames life. Yes they do need the high morale and they have nothing to gain
However, I could name a few that would like to see discourse between the WH and the CIA
The organization that Mr. Wilson is involved with would be one of them .. Moveon.org

You are are the current poster boy for Jim Rob's comment about the Bushhaters on Free Republic a few months ago:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/945516/posts?page=40#40 The anti-Republican/anti-Bush paleocon/paleolibertarian/buchananite/rockwellian/anarchist movement has combined with the Democrat/French/German/Iraq pro-terror axis.
