White House Should Suspend Deputy Chief of Staff's Security Clearance Information While Investigation is Pending, Until Plame Leak Is Resolved

In Light Of Time Reporter Matt Cooper's Confirmation That Rove Was a Source In the Leak of CIA Agent Valerie Plame's Identity, Schumer and Wilson Call For Suspension of Rove's Security Clearance

U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer and Ambassador Joseph Wilson will hold a press conference at 3:00pm TODAY, July 14, 2005 in the Mansfield Room of the U.S. Capitol to call for the suspension of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove' security clearance until the investigation of the leak of CIA Agent Valerie Plame's identity is resolved.

" Ever since the first Gulf War] there has been a small cabal of zealots in Washington who have been driving an agenda designed to overthrow Saddam Hussein, not because he has weapons of mass destruction, not because he may or may not be linked to terrorism, but because they want to establish a beachhead in the Arab world from which to work to change the political map of the Arab world and essentially ensure Israel 75 more years of security by enfeebling the Arab governments that are arrayed against it."

Sounds like a good plan to me.

The more the MSM employees play with themselves getting off over this Plame thing the more it's obvious: Today's MSM employees are skid marks on journalism's shorts.

Journalism needs to washout the feces stains, the stench is embarrassing the Nation.

[bill1952]

He has clearance

[January24th]

Yeah, right after Sandy Berger's security clearance is rescinded...

[bill1952]

LOL! Didn't he convert to Buddism?

[KevinDavis]

Here is my opinion of Joe Wilson:

#&$(@&$#*&#@(*&#(*&^(*^%*&%*&$*&$&^(*&^(*%(*&$&^$&^$#%#^%#(*&^(*^(*^(*^(*&%$$&^*%*&$%*&$%%&^#$%#^%(*&^*^*&^(*&^(*&$%^%#$%#%@#@(*&^(*&^$%#^#$%@$#@!$#(*%&((()^%$#$%@^%#@$&^$%*^&(&^%*&%*&%*&$#^%#@$%@!$%@!#@(**&^(*)^)(&^(**&^%&^$*&$%$&&#&&$%#&%

[Jim_Curtis]

They choose this specific angle as a projection. The real issue in this whole case is that there are people like Wilson and Scummer in positions with a security clearance where they can do extreme damage to the country...therefore they must assume an offensive posture on removing the security clearance of people who are the threat to those who actually should have their security clearance removed.

It is their favorite tactic...if your candidate has a military record that might be a problem, create a perception of a problem for the other guy's military record and get out on the attack first.

This is so over the top and transparent that it is pathetic. Does Schmuck Chewer seriously think the American people are worried that Rove is going to start outing CIA officials? The Rat strategy is if you jump up and down and scream about some obviously phoney issue, people will be fooled into thinking it must be true and important. It may work on 5% of voters, but 40% will think you are nuts. The rest don't give a damn.

Iraq built weapons of mass destruction because it was surrounded by a nuclear armed Israel

A former ambassador, Wilson is well known (not) for his awesome grasp of geography, isn't he? Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, huh...

[LachlanMinnesota]

Does anyone know the statutory reference that allegedly prohibits the disclosure of a covert CIA operative? Its like the weather, I hear it talked about a lot, but never see it quoted...

[68 grunt]

Ambastard Joey Wilson outta be fired!

[Cyber Liberty]

Hi is, in fact, an administration official. He works in the Chief of Staff's office, I believe.

[sofaman]

"Iraq built weapons of mass destruction because it was surrounded by a nuclear armed Israel"

Surrounded? By Israel? Good one.

Um, so when Iraq was dropping scuds into Israel in the Gulf War, was Israel the aggressor? Did Israel, that rapacious and aggressive neighbor, respond to the scud attacks?

Lastly..."We need to remember in all of this that Iraq did not build weapons of mass destruction because the United States was an enemy - Iraq built weapons of mass destruction because it was surrounded by a nuclear armed Israel.."

It seems that Joe Wilson also believed that Iraq had WMDs...so much for "Bush lied".

[Madeleine Ward]

This is all getting just too funny!

[bitt]

ouch!

[bitt]

I hope this is true after 4 p.m. today...

[concerned about politics]

The Vermont Democrat's Iran-Contra leak was considered to be one of the most serious breaches of secrecy in the committee's 10-year history.

I forgot about Leaky Leahy. I guess it's because the democrats don't have to follow American laws. They follow China's laws.

[Zacs Mom]

Ouch, too, on your tag line "('We will all soon reap what the ignorant are now sowing.' Victor Davis Hanson)" ~ that one is really scary, as it is point on!

[yooling]

That can't be him. Those guys are most certainly dead already.
