Kerry, 25 other senators urge investigation of Plame Leak

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

Today, Senator John Kerry; Senator Carl Levin, Ranking Member of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations; and 24 other Senators formally requested that Congress investigate the leak of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame’s identity — a leak a senior administration official described at the time as “meant purely and simply for revenge.”

“Americans deserve a Congress that holds Washington accountable for the truth about our national security. Can anyone argue with a straight face that Congress has time to look at steroid use in baseball but doesn’t have the will to provide congressional oversight of the leak of a CIA agent’s name? It’s long past time to stop putting politics ahead of the public good, get to the bottom of a national security breach and restore credibility to Washington,” said John Kerry, who authored the letter.

Below is the text of the letter sent today:

1. John Kery is Unamerican. Clearly he hates baseball!

:crazy: :silly:

Seriously, I am glad he spoke up on this and mentioned the ludicrous Hill crackdown on 'roids.

2. Ya know, This approach would have broader support on Iraq profiteering..

I mean, who could logically argue that we should not investigate billions in waste and profiteering? Barely a peep from Congress on this. Are all their hands that dirty?

3. Keep congress out of Patrick Fitzgerald's business till he is done.

You are correct. There is plenty of other corruption on the White House to investigate.

The Massachusetts Senator never fails to amaze me.
