Ground Control to Fox: Valerie Plame Wilson Was Covert
For Hannity and Hatch and all the other liars, Fitzy said this: I am
the umpire and Scooter threw sand in my eyes just as I was going to
call a strike.
Last night, Sean Hannity said this:
I don’t think anybody exposed anything. I think everybody knew in town what [Valerie Wilson] did for a living. There’s no evidence that she was covert. None.
And two nights ago, Ann Coulter said:
She hadn’t been a covert agent for six years, and everyone in Washington knew she worked for the CIA.
Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald knocked that talking point down hard today in the Libby indictment:
At all relevant times from January 1, 2002 through July 2003, Valerie Wilson was employed by the CIA, and her employment status was classified. Prior to July 14, 2003, Valerie Wilson’s affiliation with the CIA was not common knowledge outside the intelligence community.
OK. These are several really simple questions for any Republican here who does not support this investigation.
1. If Mrs. Wilson was not a covert agent, and thus no
crime was committed by revealing her name (no matter WHO did it), then
why did the CIA request the investigation to begin with? No guesses;
please cite sources backing up your answer(s).
2. If Mr.
Wilson lied about his findings, and an honest Bush Admin. surely would
have known it if he did (and thus should have hammered home the true
facts with the American people), then why did administration officials
even remotely consider discussing his wife amongst themselves and
others? Especially if her status in the CIA was not truly not covert?
What do you suppose they hoped to accomplish?
