Waxman to hold oversight hearings on Plame leak.
Waxman to hold oversight hearings on Plame leak.
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman announced he will hold a hearing on whether White House officials followed appropriate procedures for safeguarding the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson. In addition, Waxman released a letter he wrote special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, stating in part:
“The trial proceedings raise questions about whether senior White House officials, including the Vice President and Senior Advisor to the President Karl Rove, complied with the requirements governing the handling of classified information. They also raise questions about whether the White House took appropriate remedial action following the leak and whether the existing requirements are sufficient to protect against future leaks. Your perspective on these matters is important.”

…to say nothing of Richard Armitage. How did he got out of all this scot-free?
March 8th, 2007 at 3:22 pmI saw where Plame will testify!!!!
March 8th, 2007 at 3:22 pmI smell impeachment brewing……..
March 8th, 2007 at 3:23 pmWill this allow for a deeper investigation into the involvement of Cheney, Rove and Bush in regards to the leak?
I know the American people would like to see any law breakers get punished for their wrong doings.
March 8th, 2007 at 3:27 pmGo Henry, GO!
March 8th, 2007 at 3:27 pmA pig is a pig is a pig…
Can the ‘Teflon Man’, (nothing sticks to him), Big Dick keep ducking the reality of this as he has with every other important issue?
How ’bout Bob Novak? He reminds me of a stoned bullfrog, by the way, didn’t he actually ‘out’ Valerie Plame? Isn’t that treason, and punishable by death?
And then we have KKKarl, who smiles like he just came from church while cooking up some of the dirtiest tricks politics has seen since the Nixon cabal.
Finally, we have the ‘Burning Bush’. Too dumb to care and too privileged to have ever had a life.
Ahhhh, I love the smell of NeoCon meat slowly roasting ‘oer an open fire.
March 8th, 2007 at 3:30 pmThank you, Henry Waxman! You’re a hero!
March 8th, 2007 at 3:32 pmHopefully this is more than just Plame. I do hope that the committee gets into what happened to all the other CIA and other government folks who worked for Brewster Jennings. This is about so much more than one person. Whether that was intentional on their part is irrelevant. The damage was done.
March 8th, 2007 at 3:33 pmWaxman thinks he’ll be able to find evidence that shows Rove and/or Cheney had a hand in this despite the fact that Fitzy the special prosecutor couldn’t do it after years of work.
Waxman is either delusional or he is posturing. Either way I smell a rat.
Hey, come to think of it he kind of looks like a rodent!
March 8th, 2007 at 3:34 pmWow! Dem’s grow a pair!!!
Mr. Waxman, well done, sir. Peel that rotten onion. Expose what needs to be exposed. And if impeachment is required (as we all know it is), then please do the needful.
ITMFA!!!
March 8th, 2007 at 3:36 pmIt’s going to be interesting to see Pat Fitzgerald in the witness stand as he did an excellent job prosecuting. Wells might have to do some more crying for his client. Bush/Cheney/Rove will now have to face the crimes the committed. I wonder if jailbird Libby will now sing as Rove/Cheney never showed up to help him.
March 8th, 2007 at 3:37 pmWatch the roaches start to scurry around now that the light has been turned on. There is plenty enough evidence to sink this Republican ship. Let the games begin!
March 8th, 2007 at 3:39 pmPlame is slated to testify.
March 8th, 2007 at 3:41 pmTotally cool……
March 8th, 2007 at 3:43 pm“…to say nothing of Richard Armitage. How did he got out of all this scot-free?”
he didn’t lie to the grand jury or obstruct the investigaton.
March 8th, 2007 at 3:48 pmOK everyone, let’s Think Progress!
Exactly how are these hearings going to push forward your progressive agenda?
The non-responses I will get to this question will prove my point that this site would be more accurately named Think Destruction!
March 8th, 2007 at 3:50 pmLaughable liberal desperation..
March 8th, 2007 at 3:52 pm“Waxman” nail the bastards!!! This is great, should shine even more light on just how unamerican the republican party is. This gang of repukes is so smelly.
March 8th, 2007 at 3:54 pmAs Chris Matthews of Hardball continues to state, there is something more than Wilson’s opinion about the yellow cake from Niger. The reason Cheney and Libby were so intent on going after Wilson was the fact that journalists and/or other people would then start to look into “who” the actual people were that falsified the Italian documents which stated that Iraq wanted to buy the yellow cake. We will probably find out that it was Cheney, Norquist, and/or Negropanti and the neocon group that put it all together and gave it to Bush. And Bush being Bush, he didn’t read anything or ask questions about where the document came from. He (Bush) is a delegator, not a scholar. Cheney knows that he can talk Bush into anything and Bush will buy into it and think he is doing what is right. But then again, we all know that is not correct. Cheney has played Bush for a “FOOL — A BIG, DUMB FOOL.”
March 8th, 2007 at 3:55 pmWaxman smells blood….
Good….
Veeeeeery good…
March 8th, 2007 at 3:56 pm#16, the answer is obvious: hearings will make government officials accountable and will discourage further smear campaigns so that the administration does more of the people’s business and less CYA!
March 8th, 2007 at 3:57 pmCynicon
Part of the “progressive agenda” is to keep this country safe while keeping those in office accountable. The outing of a covert CIA agent damages our safety. The subsequent prosecution of those involved will ensure accountability and hopefully prevent politically motivated leaks that make us less safe in the future.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:01 pm#21 — I think I get it now.
You need to break a few eggs, trash the kitchen and throw the chefs in jail in order to make an omelet.
Thanks for clearing that up.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:04 pmYou beat me to it Topper. It is about accountability. True americans hold ourselves to higher standards. Nobody is above the law. What have they to worry about implant?
March 8th, 2007 at 4:04 pmStep one towords impeachment
March 8th, 2007 at 4:04 pmPatrick,
Predictable Rethug Hollow Comment. Please contribute next time by telling us what is so laughable about investigating the treasonous act of outing a CIA agent or in what way Waxman doing his job is considered desperate.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:05 pmLet’s see. Dead horse. Whip. Okay, let’s waste some time.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:05 pmGood to see Congress doing its job … and especially ironic that the Republicans would like to allow criminals to go free, continue their behavior and continue to be a danger to our country.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:06 pm#22 — If progressives were really worried about keeping the country safe, they would be calling for the journalists who exposed the SWIFT (tracking of terrorist financing) program to be indicted instead of cheerleading for hearings that are redundant to the prosecution just completed.
Sorry, you and I both know this is just a “get Bush” exercise.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:08 pmRemember, Bush ran on accountability in 2000, so it is only natural that Congress start holding him and his administration accountable.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:08 pmAlright, Patrick1 and [Neo]con Implant, I suppose you’re more inclined to support the past 5 years of no questions, no answers, no oversight, no responsibility, no action of any import by Congress or government as controlled by only the GOP. Why? What questions do you not want answered? what secrets do you feel must be taken to the grave? what answers to do you really fear?
March 8th, 2007 at 4:10 pmStep one…! Here it come rethugs… pay back is hell!
March 8th, 2007 at 4:10 pmBush mentioned SWIFT in a speech long before any journalist did. Nice try, next.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:13 pm#29: Oh yeah, I’m certain that terrorists never thought that we were looking at financial information. Exposing SWIFT. Rich. Really rich. And what a joke.
Since you seem to be so concerned about keeping programs secret, where’s your outrage at the compromise done to Brewster Jennings, Ms. Plame’s front?
March 8th, 2007 at 4:14 pm“redundant to the prosecution just completed.”
The party has just begun. If your boy Libby wasn’t impeding the investigation, it might be over by now and your ilk would have time to repair its credibility leading up to ‘08.
Had the Rethugs in charge of SWIFT went through legal means to enact it, bringing it to light would have never been necessary. They set it up for exposure, thus making us less safe, themselves.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:14 pm#31 — I’m all for investigating and prosecuting when REAL crimes have been committed. I’m opposed to show trials that waste taxpayer money.
This whole prosecution was a joke. Now to have Waxman wasting more time and money is making the joke less funny.

March 8th, 2007 at 4:17 pmLet me get this straight.
Outing a CIA agent = not a real crime
Lying about outing a CIA agent = not a real crime
I suppose relative to starting an illegal war, those crimes look less horrendous, but I assure you, they are real crimes.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:19 pmGreat news! I think it’s time for a “Swiftbooting Campaign” for KKKarl and the Thing.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:19 pmOh, my God! Whatever will I say to my stupid, shallow friends at the GOP Ladies Auxilliary? The nerve of the American people! They’re nothing but an angry mob of malcontents! … I wonder if they’ll take a check to leave us alone?
March 8th, 2007 at 4:20 pm#36: So perjery is not a REAL crime? It is a violation of the law. And it was good enough to warrant impeachment proceedings when the last CIC admitted to telling mistatements during a civil deposition involving that great conservative reallying cry, sexual harrassment, during the last administration? Why not a criminal prosecution of someone who flagrantly lied to a federal grand jury. There is more than 1 ordinary American sitting in jail for the same conduct. Why should an assistant to the VP not have to face the same fate?
March 8th, 2007 at 4:21 pm“The party has just begun.” according to Lupey.
That statement makes my point that this is about vindictiveness on the part of the left more than accountability for the right.

So to you, justice is ‘vindictive’? That explains why you were so ‘vindictive’ against Clinton’s affairs. You’re a fcuking idiot.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:25 pm#36 CI, I guess you missed the FACT the Plame was a NOC???
Fitzgerald stated so, as well as the CIA. If she was not a NOC, why would the CIA request a criminal investigation from the DOJ???
She was not just a desk jockey!
Having read your comments, I realize that you don’t see any crime committed but there was. A Ex-CIA agent on the radio last night detailed that there were many reprecussions from this leak and that there was far more that was effected than what is being released to the public. You don’t consider this a crime???
Since when is it OK to obstruct justice? Fitzgerald had to stop the investigation because of the obstruction and charge Libby because of the dirt being thrown in his face. You don’t consider this a crime???? You don’t believe that the jurors, who were Engineers, Accountants, and other highly educated people were able to evaluate the information and make a decission? You think they were out for political retribution?
GET REAL!!!

A better question is to think about ahead of time how the republicans will try to spin this… cut them off at the pass … remember how they all ganged up on Gore the day after his award…. what will they do about this? Be prepared …

Really? Are you saying the right doesnt need accountabilty? If not then who cares what personal glee some might get out of it. I would like to see Osama dead… I dont care if it might make Pat Robertson believe it happened because of his fake god… just so long as what is needed to be done is done.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:27 pm#40- I hope you raised your fetal syndrone son well enough to know he needs to pack some soap-on-a-rope for his upcoming travels. The Federal Pen has an awful lot of amateur proctologists conducting thier on-the-job training exercises.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:28 pmWrong CI. This is about do unto others as they have been doing to you for the past 12 years, but are now trying to play all innocent like.
Sorry, you people are not innocent and deserve everything you get.
Been called a terrorist sympathizer lately?
If you don’t like it, stop dishing it out. If you can’t stand the heat in the kitchen, don’t started the fu*king fire.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:28 pm[Neo]con implant, one comment / opinon does not make a point regarding a sweeping allegation that this is all payback. Your perceived ‘payback” is just an unfortunate byproduct of getting answers to questions that those with the power to ask have REFUSED to ask for years. To you, it’s all become, quite conveniently, water under the bridge because you don’t like the bridge that’s being walked on and would rather go somewhere else. Sorry, this is the reality they created, those movers and shapers of history. There is no vindication 20 years down the line. This is all they have to show for their tenure in office. And its a pathetically sad view. Wasted opportunities, wasted resources, wasted lives, careers and outcomes.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:28 pmComment by Cynicon Implant
Remember that the democrats are likely to get more and more power over the next few years… and now they have the patriot act and other such BS at their disposal. If the right is not made to pay for what they did the democrats are likely to do the same things only worse. and then the republicans after them and then the democrats after them until finally, like Rome, we fall. That is the whole point to accountability and the justice system and the law.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:29 pm“That statement makes my point that this is about vindictiveness on the part of the left more than accountability for the right.”
spare the pious remarks because of a few posters who are looking forward [perhaps overzealously] to having the house actually doing its job. where was your concern about ‘vindictiveness’ while tom delay was in charge?

YES we will take a check….. for $50 Billion dollars please. I believe that is how much your son has cost this country for the Iraq war.
You can make it out to: The US citizens who did not vote for George W. Bush.
March 8th, 2007 at 4:32 pmClinton did not lie to federal grand jury, dipshit. His statements were made during a civil deposition. He also was not taking about a government agent or a government project. He was talking about getting blown in the White House by a willing adult intern. Do you see the difference?

OK, last post on this for me today (I hear the cheering)…
You guys like to act all high-minded about this (it’s about national security, dammit!)but try to be honest with yourselves and admit that what you really want is to take down a sitting president.
I think you should be careful about over-reaching. It hurt the repubs when they went too far and impeached Clinton.

Yeah, the difference is that you dum bass id*ots don’t know what overreaching entails. I could explain the subtleties of what it means to overreach – but it would be lost on a fool like you.
You right wing nuts overreached because you tried to claim an affair was grounds for impeachment.
Destroying national intelligence in order to wage a war based on deceptions as the basis for impeachment is not overreaching. The majority of Americans feel this way, while the majority of Americans never felt the actions of Clinton warranted it.
That’s the definition of overreaching dum bass.

The entire covert op was exposed by Cheney et al in Novak’s second column. How many of our agents were tortured and/or killed? How many of their contacts? How much did it cost us to create that cover company? How long did it take to develop the contacts? All that was destroyed in a single column by Novak.
March 8th, 2007 at 5:04 pmThe person Waxman needs to summon and put under oath is Tenant. What was his position on the revealing the Plame name. Tenant has much to be held accountabe for besides the Plame leak. But he is in hiding and I see no effort to get him before any committee.
March 8th, 2007 at 5:10 pmDidn’t the GOP Spend 8 year’s Trying to get/bring down a president?
March 8th, 2007 at 5:11 pmRight on brother
March 8th, 2007 at 5:11 pmActually, i would be willing to put up with Bush for another two years if he’d just fire Tricky Dick. I think most of the country would, and most of Washington. Dick Cheney (and Paul Wolfowicz) is the sinister overlord behind most of what ailes this nation. Then, we can sit back and just tell Boy King, “until you leave office, just don’t touch anything.” (Thank you, Bill Maher).
March 8th, 2007 at 5:15 pmComment by Cynicon Implant
Oh you mean Waxman’s wasting money investigating they way you repukes did.
March 8th, 2007 at 5:30 pmI mean how much money and time was wasted researching that blow job.
Oh my God, he said “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.” How dare he. How much time and money was wasted? And here’s a clue, most of us would vote for Clinton again if he could run.
But we can’t investigate your cronies for outing a CIA agent or starting a war under false pretenses because – it’s too hard (whine). And less than 20% of the population believe Bush is (1) innocent and (2) doing a good job.
I guess your one of those 20% slow learners.
Or you’re one of those top 1% getting big tax breaks – in which case we’re not wasting your money – its in your pocket.

About Peace Action
Peace Action, the merger of SANE and The Nuclear Freeze, has effectively mobilized for peace and disarmament for nearly fifty years.
As the nation’s largest grassroots peace group we get results: from the 1963 treaty to ban above ground nuclear testing, to the 1996 signing of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, from ending the war in Vietnam, to blocking weapons sales to human rights abusing countries, and eliminating funding for new nuclear weapons, Peace Action and its 100,000 members have been, and continue to be, at the forefront of the international movement for peace.
At Peace Action we believe…
…that war is not a suitable response to conflict.
For nearly 50 years Peace Action has worked for an environment where all are free from violence and war. We understand that long standing global conflicts require long-term solutions, and that US foreign policy has a lasting effect on the world. We are working to promote a new US foreign policy that is based on peaceful support for human rights and democracy, reducing the threat from weapons of mass destruction, and cooperation with the world community. We are against pre-emptive war, and call for a full withdrawal of American troops from Iraq.
…that every person has the right to live without the threat from nuclear weapons.
There are still over 30,000 nuclear weapons in the world. The US and Russia still have thousands of nuclear weapons, on hair trigger alert—ready to launch in minutes. While the Cold War may have ended, the nuclear threat has not. The only way to ensure that nuclear weapons will never be used – whether purposefully, or accidentally – is global abolition. The U.S. must lead the way to a safer world by taking our weapons off hair trigger alert, halting our research and development of new nuclear weapons and disarming and demilitarizing our warhead stockpile of over 10,000 nuclear warheads. We can reduce the threat to the world posed by nuclear weapons, but we must start by getting serious about getting rid of our own weapons of mass destruction.
…that America has the resources to both protect and provide for its citizens.
As the Pentagon’s budget soars to $400 billion, 17% of American children live in poverty. Basic infrastructure is crumbling, school are using outdated textbooks, and millions of Americans are without basic health insurance.
For what the US will spend on the War in Iraq, 26,701,621 children could have attended a year of Head Start, we could have built 1,815,194 additional housing units for the poor, we could have hired 3,493,706 additional public school teachers for one year, and we could have provided 9,772,998 students four-year scholarships at public universities(source – National Priorities Project). We believe that these are priorities that should come before war.
What we do at Peace Action…
We are the nation’s largest grassroots Peace network, with over 28 state affiliates, and over 100 local chapters. We organize our grassroots network to place pressure on Congress and the Administration through write-in campaigns, internet actions, citizens lobbying and direct action. Through a close relationship with progressive members of Congress, we play a key role in devising strategies to move forward peace legislation, and, as a leading organizing member of United for Peace and Justice and the Win Without War coalition, we lend our expertise and large network to achieving common goals.
Through our Peace Voter awareness campaigns, we inform citizens about their choices for both local and national campaigns, by highlighting different candidates’ stances on issues relating to peace. Our annual Congressional Voter Guide gives credit to those in Congress who voted for a peaceful future, while holding accountable those who voted for larger Pentagon budgets, spending tax dollars on nuclear weapons, and voted for wars of aggression and occupation.
Given the right tools, ordinary people can change the world.
At Peace Action, we recognize that real change comes from the bottom up and we are committed to educating and organizing at the grassroots level.
When you join Peace Action you become part of an effective citizen movement. We work hard to keep you informed through our quarterly newsletter and publications about the most important news and issues in the peace movement. As a member you can join our Action Alert Network which allows citizens throughout the country to rapidly respond to important legislation online. As a member, you can become an important part of a fast growing national movement, and help us change the direction of our country and the world towards a more sustainable, peaceful future.
Together, we have the power to change the world.
Support Peace.

March 8th, 2007 at 5:34 pmYippee! I’ve been waiting for the last three years to hear them investigate and punish those who outted Valerie Plame in order to punish Joe Wilson for writing an editorial that pointed out Cheney/Bush were lying about the yellow-cake in Niger! I’m probably not being very “Christian” in my thoughts, but I don’t care! I want Dick Cheney punished for ruining our country! I’d be calling Henry Waxman right now the thank him, but I hear the lines are full. Many more of us out there want to thank him!
Dick Cheney masterminded this whole event and he hates it when someone finds out he’s been bad.
March 8th, 2007 at 5:36 pm#36 Cynicon Implant
I’m all for investigating and prosecuting when REAL crimes have been committed. I’m opposed to show trials that waste taxpayer money.
This whole prosecution was a joke. Now to have Waxman wasting more time and money is making the joke less funny.
Let’s try a hypothetical. Let’s pretend that we just had another 9/11 type terrorist attack in the U.S. And let’s say that someone lies to the FBI to cover for a suspect, throwing the feds off the trail long enough that the suspect is able to get away. Would you say that the witness who lied isn’t guilty of a “real crime”? After all, it’s just a little lie. What’s the big deal?
The point is, the matter of lying to federal investigators and grand juries is deadly serious, regardless of the underlying crime it’s intended to conceal. And, in the case of outing a CIA agent–not inadvertently as Armitage did, but for political payback as Rove and Libby did–the underlying crime is damn serious, too.
Of all the different ways you can look at this, consider how petty and spiteful an act it was–as if to say “How dare you tell America the truth about that yellow cake bullshit? Ooh, I’m going to get you. I’m going to ruin your wife’s career and f*ck up the CIA operation she’s working on. I don’t care if it does damage to national security. I’m going to get you back for crossing me!”
It’s like the White House is run by a bunch of rotten little 11-year-old girls. Grow up, bitches.

Cynicon and other Bush cultists, you can cry all the bitter tears you want, but Waxman’s job with respect to this issue is oversite and accountability. What this is about is the ginned up lies and distortions which led to the war. This is about those forged documents – who forged them? This is about the willful destruction of an important intelligence asset for political reasons – an impeachable offense. This is about willfully lying to the American public during the constitutionally mandated SOTU address – an impeachable offense. The last time Waxman was in charge of committe hearings, in 1993, Tobacco company execs were sweating and squirming because he forced them to testify to congress under oath. I’ve been waiting for him to be in charge again for 12 years because I knew exactly what would happen – he would do his job and do it well. So, cry your bitter tears, stomp your feet and ball your little hands into a fist. It’s OK to be mad about it because there’s going to be hell to pay.

What about $15 million to investigate whether or not two people were fired from the Whitehouse Travel office for political reasons. How about $20 million spent looking into two file boxes placed in a closet instead of the storage facility across the street?
Wise up, Cynicon. Anyone with a brain and a memory going back 15 years isn’t buying your act.

March 8th, 2007 at 7:53 pmMr. Fitzgerald invited Congress to ask for a copy of his files. Mr. Waxman’s request should be on Mr. Fitzgerald’s desk tomorrow. I imagine those files will make interesting reading.
