Another LTTE published -- surprised to find mine in yesterday's paper.

It paid off, delivering a double-hit -- Rove and DSM.

Looks like we have a dozen or so hits from this effort.

White House thrice denied Rove allegations

The revelation that Karl Rove, President Bush’s top adviser, blew the cover of a CIA agent for political retribution comes as a surprise -- not because it seemed somehow beneath the most effective political attack dog in the Republican Party, but because the White House assured Americans on three separate occasions in the fall 2003 that he was not the source.

However, the most offensive aspect of this story has not been the revelation that Rove was the source, but that the White House now refuses to comment on the matter because it is "part of an ongoing investigation."

The absurdity of the White House attempting to take the high road only when it has been caught red-handed is a slap in the face to everything our country stands for. The irony of an administration that labels all dissent and debate as unpatriotic while it intentionally jeopardizes the life of an American agent working in the area of terrorism prevention would be laughable if it wasn’t a matter dealing with the life and death of real American patriots.

One cannot help but wonder, with leaked minutes of a secret meeting in the United Kingdom (Downing Street Minutes) indicating that the U.S. was set on fixing intelligence around a policy of invading Iraq, just how many lies have been peddled to the American public. After all, the reason CIA agent Valerie Plame had her cover blown was political retribution for the actions of her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who had spoken out against claims that Iraq was seeking nuclear weapons — a claim that is now known to be demonstrably false.

2. Doesn't your paper.....

call to confirm your identity? Mine always calls first to make sure I am who I say I am and that I actually wrote the piece. If they don;t confirm, they should. They're asking for trouble.

Mine didn't get printed this week, probably because there was on Op-Ed pretty much saying the same thing on the day I wrote my LTTE. Nuts, I have a pretty good record of getting my letters published, but the timing was off on this one.

Glad your's was printed. Congrats! :toast:

4. It's why I was surpised. But I have an online account, so maybe

they simply checked it in their records.

5. THis is yours?

I like this LTTE very much, it makes the main points I want to make...

Connection to DSM
Severity of the outing and its implications
PLanting a seed of public mistrust in the administration for its irresponsibility.
