Plame and Wilson vow to press on with lawsuit.
Plame and Wilson vow to press on with lawsuit.
Valerie Plame and Joseph Wilson released a statement following former White House press secretary Scott McClellan’s testimony yesterday, saying that while his statements “shed some light” on the smear campaign by the Bush administration, they would continue to pursue their civil suit to press for more answers:
Scott McClellan’s book and his congressional testimony shed some light on — as we alleged in our lawsuit — the decision by senior government officials to betray the identity of a covert CIA officer, Valerie Plame Wilson. Many questions, however, such as the role of Karl Rove and Vice President Cheney remain unanswered. Our civil suit, now before the Court of Appeals, is designed to permit us to uncover the truth, to hold to account those who would use their public positions to engage in private political vendettas, and to ensure that future generations of public servants do not engage in such despicable behavior against fellow Americans.
Mr. McClellan’s testimony today underscores why we need to continue to pursue our rights under the American judicial system, and why Congress should also fully investigate the circumstances of the leak, and the subsequent obstruction of justice which is ongoing.

…..Mr. McClellan’s testimony today underscores why we need to continue to pursue our rights under the American judicial system, and why Congress should also fully investigate the circumstances of the leak, and the subsequent obstruction of justice which is ongoing.
And exactly what are the Dem-led Committees doing about this ongoing obstrucytion, other than holding more Hearings? Either kick some ass or go back under the porch, you wankers!
June 21st, 2008 at 3:40 pmAll it’s going to take is someone with a floodlamp to shine on the dark corners of this administration. Just one key ‘John Dean’ to spill his/her guts before he/she is gutted by the neocons. A trial could do it. Please. Make my day.
June 21st, 2008 at 3:46 pmLemme guess……executive privilege?
Just like the Pat Tillman case.
June 21st, 2008 at 3:53 pmI wish them both the very best…however, when their case reaches the notSupreme Court that will see fascism eye to eye and they will lose.
Roberts, Alito, Thomas, and Scalia are pure fascist. They will not let go of corrupting this democracy until removed from office!!!
Impeach all of these ENEMIES OF THE STATE!!!!!
June 21st, 2008 at 3:53 pmTroll bait thread. “Plame wasn’t covert! Every single person on the eastern seaboard knew she was CIA! Wilson was a fraud!”
I know I forgot some things on the troll list. Forgive me.

June 21st, 2008 at 4:27 pmWell, for the whole picture you would have to remember that Atta really was like totally down with Iraq. He used to even share yellowcake with Hussein and even Bin Laden after a nice meal. Their wives exchanged annoying christmas cards explaining how all the children were doing. For best results add a dash of made up Jessica Lynch. Prior to service drizzle with essence of freedom hating
Y’all,
Consider the reverse narative of this story…
Plame (anti proliferation) was about to report illegal arms sales from RePugniScum (i.e. Bush family) owned companies and CIA fronts. This would have been a huge a$$ problem for GW Botch and Dickhead Chainsaw.
They set up Wilson to get at his wife. Sad, but, true! GW Botch and his phucked up family/friends are international arms dealers. The CIA (pronounced Corporate Fascist) is in this up to their eye-teeth!!
PLAME WAS NEUTRALIZED FOR DOMESTIC REASONS!!
June 21st, 2008 at 4:28 pmThe CIA outed there own….

June 21st, 2008 at 5:28 pmIt just seems like the BushitCo crime family must have shitloads of dirt from illegal wiretaps on all these CongressionalCowards. Occam’s Razor…

QWEST was one of the few who didn’t betray americans. If they provide service in your area, sign on with them today.
I tried to do so and they don’t reach a large market…ummm…wonder why???
THE FCC IS CORRUPT! AND KEVIN MARTIN THE CHAIRMAN OF THE FCC IS THE GANG LEADER OF CORRUPTION AND FASCISM!!!
June 21st, 2008 at 5:37 pmIts bad enough that she was outed and her career destroyed.
But I really feel sorry for the folks in other countries who worked with / for her. The fact that she was outed puts them and their families and friends in jeopardy.
Is there any mechanism for these victims to be heard ?
June 21st, 2008 at 5:41 pmYet, Clinton’s blowjob is much worse because MILLIONS were killed…
Millions of sperm…
/snark
This by itself should be an impeachable offense…and Bush and his cronies should be put away in prison for life…
June 21st, 2008 at 5:57 pmThank you for your service, Valerie and Joe.
June 21st, 2008 at 6:15 pmAnd I hope they continue to pursue this avenue - it may be the only recourse toward justice in this country.
I still hope that the international court will take care of what our own politicians are too timit to do —- prosecute these g-d criminals.
June 21st, 2008 at 6:23 pmHowever, if the international court proceeds where the US government will not - that isn’t going to look too good for us and our system of justice is it? Buch&Co would surely be found guilty, but our integrity would still be in the toilet.
db,

June 21st, 2008 at 6:33 pmWho’s to blame for outing Plame/ do you think life’s just a game/ to be won at any cost/ to get rich while souls are lost/ bodies fry limbs fly/ to die for no good reason/ just a greedy act of treason

John K., why are you so anxious for the “libs” to give up? What are you afraid of?
Afraid that COXUCKER punk TRAITOR Bush goes to jail or is EXECUTED by a US Army FIRING squad for treason.
Not to mention worried about his OWN SOUL for supporting MURDERER Bush’s GENOCIDE.
He doesn’t want to BURN FOR ETERNITY like TRAITOR Bush and TRAITOR Ronnie Reagan, now DEAD and BURNING for ETERNITY.

June 21st, 2008 at 7:33 pmAh, there’s the Troll John Kerry we love.
I much prefer the hysterical, non-sensical Troll John Kerry to the bitter, hostile TJK we saw a few days ago.
June 21st, 2008 at 9:48 pmI’m impressed, gum. I couldn’t even make that much sense out of that post.
June 21st, 2008 at 9:49 pmIf Karl Rove doesn’t go down for outing covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson, then maybe he’ll be charged and convicted someday for getting so many U.S. citizens killed in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina hit and New Orleans flooded.
You see, Bush/Cheney handed over to Karl Rove command of the federal response to Katrina after New Orleans flooded, and so many people became stranded on rooftops. Up until the flooding occurred, the FEMA command center in Baton Rouge was in charge of seeing that federal disaster relief was rushed into the disaster zone.
Karl Rove, being the ultimate heartless partisan political hack that he is, saw the flooding of New Orleans as a way to smear Louisiana’s Democratic governor, Blanco, and New Orleans’ Democratic mayor, Nagin, while also scoring points for his Republicans masters.
A plan was hatched.
BushCo (Karl Rove) demanded that Gov. Blanco hand over control of her state’s national guard units to them, essentially federalizing Louisiana, giving BushCo (Karl Rove, Chertoff, Rumsfeld) control over Louisiana’s and New Orleans’ streets. (Probably to give Blackwater mercenaries a chance).
Gov. Blanco refused, as any governor would to such an unprecedented demand. She rushed what national guard units she had available (with so many over in Iraq) and even asked other states for assistance in providing security and disaster relief.
In the “mean” time, BushCo (Karl Rove, etal.) withheld federal disaster relief from New Orleans, going so far as to block anyone else trying to rescue any of the dying people in New Orleans…all in an attempt to blackmail Gov. Blanco into ceding control of Louisiana over to BushCo (Karl Rove). (Note: this nefarious demand was not made of the Republicans governors in Mississippi and Alabama).
So, during those first critical days after New Orleans flooded and people were dying, BushCo (Karl Rove) stopped federal aid from getting to New Orleans and started a smear campaign against Gov. Blanco and Mayor Nagin, even as these two were desperately trying to save the lives of their fellow citizens without the federal government backing up their efforts, with BushCo (Karl Rove, etal.) actually blocking their efforts at every turn.
So, besides Karl Rove outing Valerie Plame Wilson and getting any number of her covert contacts killed overseas, he also participated in/spearheaded a BushCo scheme during Katrina that contributed to the deaths of countless of our fellow citizens in New Orleans. Doesn’t that make him an accessory to murder?
June 21st, 2008 at 9:56 pmI will be amazed if Joe and Valerie can accomplish more than this so called democratic congress. But I’m always wishin.
