Madsen info: Fitzgerald investigating Bush, Cheney et al.....

[steve2470]

Granted, this is Madsen, but what a hoot if it is true.

U.S. intelligence sources have also said that Fitzgerald's investigation has gone far beyond the mere leaking of Plame's name, itself a violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, but has expanded to look into the exposure of Plame's colleagues who worked under the cover of a CIA firm called Brewster, Jennings & Associates. The "brass plate" CIA proprietary had offices in Boston and Washington, DC. Active since 1994, Brewster-Jennings was instrumental in tracking the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and had agents or correspondents in a number of countries including Iraq, North Korea, Belarus, Russia, South Africa, Iran, Israel, China, Pakistan, Congo (Kinshasa), India, Taiwan, Libya, Syria, Serbia, and Malaysia. By releasing Valerie Plame’s name, other agents' non-official covers were blown and the lives of U.S. operatives within foreign governments and businesses may have been placed in danger.

Therefore, Fitzgerald's investigation has reportedly been expanded to include the issue of whether members of the staffs of President Bush and Vice President Cheney, Cheney and Bush themselves, the National Security Council, and the Departments of Defense and State, may have violated more serious espionage laws.

1. Could this be the "Revenge of the CIA Analysts"?

This sounds like a just revenge campaign by the CIA Analysts who were bullied by Cheney to "produce" evidence to justify war against Iraq.

3. This is good to hear

I was so afraid that no one was ever going to look into this or even ask about the possiblity that people may have been killed. Are her co-workers compromised or worse?

I hope it is true.

4. Though Madsen Is The Source, Sir

This speculation is not unlikely. That firm was used as cover for a number of agents, and all of them, and their networks, were compromised by this act....
