Larry Johnson is crazy enough to give secret information to ANYONE if it would harm President Bush (even if it also killed a few of the "American People" liberals say they care about!
"The Intelligence Challenge: Can We Trust Our President?
By Brent Cavan, Jim Marcinkowski, Larry Johnson, and Jane Doe
July 15, 2005
We trained and worked at the CIA with Valerie Plame. We presented the following statement at a hearing on Capitol Hill in October 2003. In light of the latest White House sanctioned assault on Valerie Plame and her character, our testimony remains relevant and accurate. All of us were undercover. Brent Cavan and Larry Johnson worked as analysts in the Directorate of Intelligence. Jim Marcinkowski and Jane Doe were case officers and served overseas. Jane Doe's real name is not being used because she was involved in counter terrorism operations and could be at risk if her identity were divulged. We've got each other's back.

The Office of Special Plans is a Pentagon unit created by Donald Rumsfeld and led by Douglas Feith, dealing with intelligence on Iraq. In July of 2003 it was renamed to Northern Gulf Affairs Office.
In an interview with the Scottish Sunday Herald, former CIA officer Larry Johnson said the OSP was "dangerous for US national security and a threat to world peace. [The OSP] lied and manipulated intelligence to further its agenda of removing Saddam. It's a group of ideologues with pre-determined notions of truth and reality. They take bits of intelligence to support their agenda and ignore anything contrary. They should be eliminated." (Mackay, 2003)

Actually, the McCain rumor has floated among a number of people; Ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson mentioned it on the Ed Schultz show, and said he heard this from Republican Senate sources (Johnson is a Republican and maintains excellent contacts).
JOHNSON IS NOT A REPUBLICAN!!!

George Stephanopoulos' interview with John McCain.
(LARRY) JOHNSON (videotape): I wish there was a Republican of some courage and conviction that would stand up and call the ugly dog the ugly dog that it is. Instead, I watched last night, John McCain on Chris Matthews' Hardball making excuses, being an apologist! Where are these men and women over there with any integrity to stand up and speak out against this?
STEPHANOPOULOS: How do you respond to Mr. Johnson?
“Thanks, Larry!” McCain replied.

Add to that former career officers like Larry Johnson and Vince Cannistrano out in the public giving interviews calling for extreme investigations and it appears that the CIA is in revolt.
Hinderaker's Folly
Special to Crooks and Liars
by Larry Johnson
If ignorance is bliss, then John Hinderaker is one happy fellow when it comes to talking about Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame. According to Hinderaker, who was appearing on Howard Kurtz's CNN show about the media, he trots out once again the big lie of Republican talking points by claiming that Joe Wilson lied in his July 2003 op-ed. Hinderaker says that Wilson, "reported to the CIA that what he found out was that Saddam Hussein in fact had tried to buy uranium from Niger in the late 1990s. He then wrote an op-ed in which he lied about his own report."
Excuse me. Are all rightwingers this stupid or is this guy just uniquely ignorant.

Larry Johnson: "Apparently, Mr. Bozell is a coward. He told MSNBC he would not appear if I was on the show, even if they scheduled me before or after him. Tough talker when he is alone but unable to handle an informed debate."
(Update): MSNBC cancelled Larry so they could have Bozell on.

October 1, 2003 - Ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson confirms that Wilson's wife was an undercover operative: "I worked with this woman... She has been undercover for three decades, she is not, as Bob Novak suggested, a CIA analyst...people she meets with overseas could be compromised. When you start tracing back who she met with, even people who innocently met with her, who are not involved in CIA operations, could be compromised. For these journalists to argue that this is no big deal and if I hear another Republican operative suggesting that well, this was just an analyst, fine, let them go undercover." ("Newshour," PBS, Sept. 30, 2003)
I think you can clearly call LARRY JOHNSON a DISGRUNTLED FORMER CIA OFFICER!
