> Which is why, when selling the war in Iraq, and the upcoming war against Iran, Valerie Plame had to go. Valerie Plame was working on counter-proliferation of nuclear arms in Iraq and Iran. Until she was outed by someone in the White House. And, when her cover was blown, so was the entire "brass-plate" cover operation she worked for - Brewster-Jennings.

> And when that happened, a key player in the CIA's human intelligence apparatus investigating nuclear programs in the Middle East went with it - which was just what the neocon cabal in the White House wanted.
>
> By stifling the gathering of contradictory intelligence on nuclear proliferation in Iran, the BushCheney administration, which had long sought war with Tehran, could put forth all manner of faulty and/or fabricated "intelligence" with regard to the Iranians' nuclear capabilities and intentions. Without any credible means to refute such assertions, selling a war with Iran would be that much easier.

4. We all need to be terrified of the BFEE.

They need to be out NOW. If the Republicans don't join with the Democrats to get rid of Bush and Cheney, I hope we never see a Republican elected President again in 500 years or the end of human life, whichever comes first. (I imagine the end of human life is closer than most would think, thanks to this evil gang.)
