Did I hear Randi Rhodes correctly?
I caught part of her show... and I THINK she said the real reason Valerie Plame was outed might have been to disrupt a CIA operation - as a favor to some Saudis close to Bush. Does anyone have the details? :wtf:

2. The CIA front organization Plame worked for...
had close ties to Saudi oil companies. The rest of this is just Randi's usual speculation.

3. I think I caught the part before that
She was talking about the front company that Plame "worked for". It was an oil company. Randi speculated that possibly the oil company might have been doing some "business" with the Saudi government, thus being able to keep a close eye on what they were doing in many areas.

I missed the part that you referenced though. If what she was saying was true, then the part you heard makes all the sense in the world.

She did say this afternoon that she had gotten a second source on her info this afternoon too.

8. I was excited to hear her talk about this
until I realized that it was related to Madsen and his credibility has been questioned before on DU. I had read a while ago what she was reading aloud. Oh, do I wish it was true and researched and shows up on other shows.

10. Hmmm... Something like
The right is spinning so hard that it's throwing off the earth's rotation.

She later said that the spin machine is so powerful that if you hooked a generator up to it - we wouldn't have to invade any more oil rich nations - no more energy crisis! LOL
