		<description>According to her statement, she was not only responsible for the bad intelligence on WMD&#039;s but that she , regardless to her &quot;status&quot; had not been actively covert in five years. She also says &quot;It was not common knowledge on the Georgetown cocktail circuit that everyone knew where I worked&quot; which is not at all like saying &quot;no one knew that I was covert&quot;. If the latter was the truer statement then we could assume it would have been used.</description>

Sorry, COVERT!

Fitzgerald said so.

Hayden said so.

CIA, who asked for the investigation, NEVER CARRIED OUT BY THE BUSH CRIMINALS, said COVERT!

Valerie Wilson said so. UNDER OATH.

Let&#039;s get Rove and Gonzales UNDER OATH about Wilson, as well as Cheney the EVIL one...

Have ANY of THEM testified UNDER OATH???  Didn&#039;t think so...

And NO ONE WAS CHARGED WITH THE LEAK since Libby OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE, of which he was found GUILTY by a jury.


Bush and his criminals are TRAITORS to the USA, and need to be TRIED, CONVICTED, and EXECUTED.

By a US Army FIRING SQUAD made of soldiers permanently
MAIMED and WOUNDED because of the Iraq WMD LIED of TRAITOR Bush.

BURN IN HELL, TRAITOR Bush the MURDERER coxucker PUNK, along with your apologists like the TRAITOR in the previous post.


God Bless America, the Democrats, and the WORLD!</description>

		<description>If you walk up to any CIA office in the country, enter the building, fail to leave and are not shot or arrested, you either work for the CIA or work with the CIA.  Either way, when you&#039;ve done this in public, particularly over the many years of Plame&#039;s employment, you are not covert.  

Everyone whose written to this list has bitched about sloppy government paperwork at one time or another, it&#039;s ridiculous to now claim that she was covert because she was classified as that even though she publicly walked into the CIA offices.  

By going to work in public view she revealed herself to be an employee.  That is why no one was charged with &quot;leaking&quot; her identity.</description>

		<description>Joseph Wilson was a HERO who protected the US embassy from Hussein in Baghdad in the 1991 Gulf War.

Valerie Plame Wilson testified UNDER OATH that she was COVERT.

Now, let&#039;s see..

HOW MANY of Bush&#039;s stooges, such as Gonzo, Rove, or Libby (in his OWN perjury/obstruction trial) have testified

UNDER OATH about their involvement in the outing of a CIA spy who specialized in WMD, thus exposing the LIE that BushCrime (TM)

cares about the NATIONAL SECURITY of Americans.

NONE!!!


Bush is a TRAITOR coxucker PUNK little MURDERER and their followers a Nazi azzhole-lickers.


God Bless America, the Democrats, and the WORLD!</description>

		<description>#245 - &quot;Whether he lied about that or not (I donâ€™t give a shit), did he lie about WMD?&quot; - Booby Treat

You don&#039;t KNOW about WMD&#039;s in Iraq.  But recalling the veracity of the mercifully dead Saddam Hussein, I &lt;em&gt;CAN&lt;/em&gt; understand why you would put your stock in Wilson.  Funny, the CIA had such poor intelligence when it came to Al Queda, but YOU believe everything St. Val and gang say.....</description>

		<description>That&#039;s funny.   I thought we knew what this is all about.

1.) Richard Armitage admitted to the &#039;leak&#039;, such as it was.
2.) A Special Prosecutor determined no &#039;leak&#039; crime happened.
3.) A Senate panel (Bi-partisan), determined that Wilson lied, and Plame 
      recommended her husband for the trip to Niger. 

OK, Liberals, won&#039;t don&#039;t you get about the facts?</description>

		<description>Arguing whether Plame was &quot;covert&quot; under the technical verbiage of the Identities Protection Act or not is nonsense.

The CIA said (and still says) that her identity was a secret. Ipso facto, it WAS a secret. Pretending or even proving that it wasn&#039;t well kept or shouldn&#039;t have been secret -- if either is true -- doesn&#039;t change the fact that the CIA is an established &quot;classification authority&quot;. If the CIA labels the color of my socks Secret, then it IS a secret, regardless, and the national security laws of the country are supposed to protect that secret until an equal or higher classification authority decides to declassify.

Dubya had the power to declassify her identity if he chose to do so; but that&#039;s not what happened. Classified information was leaked with political motives, and only LATER some argued that the info wasn&#039;t SUPPOSED to be secret, wasn&#039;t a well-kept secret, or whatever. Both excuses are irrelevant. (They&#039;re probably false, as well, but who gives a crap?)

Nor does it matter, very much, which administration official leaked it. Somebody in the administration leaked it, and Dubya doesn&#039;t give a damn.

I often read that Wilson is a &quot;liar&quot;; he lied about whether his wife sent him to Niger, some say. Whether he lied about that or not (I don&#039;t give a shit), did he lie about WMD? Apparently he didn&#039;t. He said there was no evidence Iraq was getting yellow-cake from Niger, and sure enough, there&#039;s STILL no evidence Iraq got any yellow-cake from Niger. Because Iraq didn&#039;t get any. Did he lie about informing the CIA of his findings? No. Did he lie about anything that actually matters? Not that I&#039;ve heard, even from the right-wing bloggers.

Did Dubya lie in his State of the Union address? Maybe it wasn&#039;t an outright lie; maybe he believed it -- but he HAD been warned there was no good evidence for what he was saying.

That far outweighs anything Plame or Wilson have been accused of, never mind the smaller list of things they might be GUILTY of.</description>
