Hey John Asscroft? Please answer this:

Why isn't the Patriot act being enforced to the breach of security by the WH administration? I guess it doesn't apply to everyone, huh?

After the outing of Valerie Plame who was the Directorate of CIA NOC Division, 2 CIA agents were killed in Afghanistan. These agents worked for Valerie Plame.

Where is the justice? Where is the outrage?

I think we should start emailing these clowns w/ this excerpt from the Patriot Act:

Someone called in about the connection of the 2 CIA agents being killed in Afghanistan and Randi then said "yeah, and guess who they worked for?" Valerie Plame.

I will look for link, but it will be difficult although Randi named their names.

I emailed Mike Malloy on this.

KABUL, Afghanistan -- The mountainous region where two CIA operatives were killed on the Pakistani border often sees the heaviest combat in the country, treacherous ground for al-Qaida marauders that the U.S. military calls "the most evil place in Afghanistan."

The CIA said Tuesday that William Carlson, 43, of Southern Pines, N.C., and Christopher Glenn Mueller, 32, of San Diego were ambushed and killed Saturday near the village in Shkin in Paktika province while "tracking terrorists."

Both were veterans of military special operations forces, the agency said, who were working for the CIA's Directorate of Operations that conducts clandestine intelligence-gathering and covert operations.

Now Randi Rhodes (talk show host) said that Valerie Plame was the head of the Directorate of Operations. She is usually right.
