Subject: Karl Rove and His Role


To Whom It May Concern:

The Administration is not being truthful concerning Karl Rove's involvement in the outing of a covert undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame. He knowingly released the information to get back at Joe Wilson because Joe Wilson went to Niger at the request of the CIA and found no evidence to support the President's statement.

Wilson was introduced to his wife's superiors and ask to go to Niger to get intelligence on Iraq's purchase of yellow-cake. Joe Wilson found no evidence that Saddam had purchased or even tried to purchase any yellow-cake. When Mr. Wilson returned, he filed his findings with the proper authorities. When Mr. Wilson heard that Saddam had purchased yellow-cake in the President's State-Of -The-Union speech, Mr. Wilson felt compelled to set the record straight and tried to contact the Administration, but no one would contact him. Finally he went public in the New York Times Article and shortly thereafter, his wife's cover was revealed.

By outing Ms. Plame, Rove and others in this administration have undermined our national security and the CIA has lost a valuable undercover covert agent who was working on WMD's.

By their actions, they make us less safe.

8. Bravo Dogday!!!!

[blm]

9. Woohoo......Congrats.

I don't think mine will make it, since I had a letter run a few months ago, and they seem to limit the letters to every six months.

[Larkspur]

Excellent LTTE.

12. Gotta wonder what #41 and Barbara think now (Houston Resident's right?)

Especially when people can use #41's own quotes against #43

GEORGE H.W. BUSH: “I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious, of traitors.”

[dogday]

14. Man I did not think about Poppy and Wife

[Lone_Star_Dem]

16. WAY TO GO, DOG - very good letter & congrats.

[Moochy]

17. quibble (congratulations !!)

Not to quibble on grammar but what the hey:

"Wilson was introduced to his wife's superiors and ask to go to Niger to get intelligence on Iraq's purchase of yellow-cake."

was introduced(past tesne), and ask (present tense)

shouldnt it be "asked"? or "was asked"

[dogday]

18. Probably, thanks God they did not look at my

grammer, it sucks big time. Was never good at English in College. My Professor used to run out of red ink when he was grading my papers.... LOL

19. I remember my first LTTE to the Houston Post (maybe the Chronicle)

years ago. It was exciting. Congrats...your issue is much more important than mine (had to do with denial of free speech as I saw it, to a University Professor)

[dogday]

22. I cannot believe a big city like Houston only has

one large newspaper.. We should have at least two

[shelley806]

23. It's shameful, really. My sister lives in Chatanooga, and they have at

LEAST 2 major papers, one more liberal and the other more conservative...should be the case for a large city. (My sister is liberal, her husband is conservative.) But hey, the Bush family lives in Houston.
