Didn't Bob Woodward say that his "sources" indicated that the Plame
outing was no big deal. That an assessment was done and it wasn't bad.
Woodward is such a tool.
You're telling me that BushCo. outed Valerie Plame to get back at Joe Wilson AND to kill the intelligence about Iran's nuclear capabilities? How better to muddy the waters about the "reasons" for striking Iran? Sounds like treason to me.
David Shuster is reporting that Valerie Plame Wilson was working on Iran nukes at the time she was outed (Crooks & Liars has the video).
Says Shuster:
Early in the case, Rove admitted to investigators that
he outed Valerie Wilson's identity to columnist Robert Novak -- Novak
was the first journalist to publish Wilson's identity and the first to
talk about it to investigators.
And last week, Karl Rove testified again he may have spoken about the Wilsons with Time Magazine's Matt Cooper.
Rove said he denied that under oath for the first year of the
investigation because of memory problems. A case of bad memory is
Scooter Libby's defense.
But in regards to Karl Rove, lawyers in the case say prosecutor
Fitzgerald is still troubled by the timing of Rove's rolling
disclosures: it seems that Rove's memory perks up with every new
indication someone else will expose him. When Rove finally began to
update his testimony in October 2004, it was just days after Cooper was
first held in contempt for refusing to disclose confidential sources.
And Rove did not give Cooper a clear waiver to testify until after
Cooper's appeals had been exhausted 9 months later.
Didn't John Gibson say that Karl Rove deserved a medal for outing Valerie? Another
question needs to be asked of this President. If Iran is such a threat,
why does Bush still have on his staff a man (Rover) who betrayed the
identity of a CIA agent that was working on this very serious issue.
Harald Hardrada 20, some neocons were trying to sell america's nuclear technology on the black market & not just to iran -- There have been suggestions that that's part of what Sibel Edmonds' gag order prevents her from talking about. MSNBC has learned new information about the damage caused by the White House leaks.
Intelligence sources say Valerie Wilson was part of an operation
three years ago tracking the proliferation of nuclear weapons material
into Iran. And the sources allege that when Mrs. Wilson's cover was blown,the administration's ability to track Iran's nuclear ambitions was damaged as well.
Raw Story also reported this in February of this year. Add this to Judge Hogan's contention that there were definitely underlying crimes committed
in the CIA leak case and I'd say the "nothing to see here, no damage
done, move on, it's just a little perjury" crowd are on the ropes.
Remember those Aspens, Scooter to Judy:
You went into jail in the summer. It is fall now. You will have
stories to cover - Iraqi elections and suicide bombers, biological
threats and the Iranian nuclear program. Out West, where you vacation,
the aspens will already be turning. They turn in clusters, because
their roots connect them. Come back to work - and life. Until then, you
will remain in my thoughts and prayers.
It was already reported then that Plame specialized in tracking and
securing nuclear materiel from the Soviet bloque and the CIA was livid
that BushCo had ruined such an important CIA cover company - 20+ years,
with all the contacts that longevity entailed - as well as degrading our
ability to fight the GWOT by wrecking an important part of our ability
to track nuclear materials in old Soviet bloque and the -stans.
All to smear the former ambassador to Iraq (who served with real
courage in the first Gulf War) for speaking out and telling the truth.
Do you feel safer with Bush? He's a war president and makes decisions with war on his mind. What war, the war against America or the war against his legacy?
Didn't John Gibson say that Karl Rove deserved a medal for outing Valerie? Another question needs to be asked of this President. If Iran is such a threat, why does Bush still have on his staff a man (Rover) who betrayed the identity of a CIA agent that was working on this very serious issue.
