So she was COVERT!!!

[bigdarryl]

I am listening to the hearings with Valerie Plame-Wilson and it has come out she was in fact COVERT at the time of her blown cover.so much for the republican talking points that she was a LOW LEVEL EMPLOYEE and not COVERT. what ASS HOLES these rethugs are.

1. I want a link to whereever her written testimony is posted

so the next time some moron (like Imus) says she was not covert, I can send the facts to them

[bigdarryl]

3. You don't need that all they need to look at is this HEARING

THat needs to be posted to the debunking forum

5. Just watch, they will still keep say'n it!

Repukes can't snap out of their alternate universe. They will still keep say'n Ms Plame was not covert and the outing was no big deal.

15. If she wasn't covert and her "outing" was no big deal, why did the CIA

complain to the DoJ??

Did the CIA not know that she was just a desk jockey and nobody important?? ROFLMAO on this one.

2. but limbaugh said nobody knows whether she was covert

and hannity and coulter and the rest of the fucking right wing constitution hating treason enabling bastards. Blow job bad, treason good. Conservative values in a nutshell.

6. Ole Oxycontin will have to eat his words now, though you know he'll

make light of it, as will the rest of them. Which is why I largely ignore the whole lot of them.

10. How incredibly sad

that congress has to hold a committee meeting with witnesses sworn in to tell what the real patriots in America have known for years. Construction of the gallows should begin immediately.

4. If nothing else, this is loud and clear from these hearings

that the opposite point of view is being heard and that is good

However, I also predict that the republican talking points will now shift blame to armatage(sic), and not the administration

ignoring the fact, that the administration were up to their neck in it, not only in propagating it, but also confirming armatage's leak

7. Davis (repig) already claimed it was a CIA, not a wh, problem. nt

12. My point you responded to, truncated my full text, which I corrected

and should have been:

"If nothing else, this is loud and clear from these hearings
Edited on Fri Mar-16-07 08:15 AM by still_one
that the opposite point of view is being heard and that is good"

No way was I referring the fact that davis was not a jerk, and I certainly did not want it to come out that way

appreciate your response

[KKKarl is an idiot]

8. So much for the

republican talking points. Maybe they will now say she was not a high level covert.

11. YUP

Covert = anyone on the cia payroll overseas..........period. see my espionage law post. or email me for clarification.

common sense says that big messes generally arent made by "low level domestic employees" lol

[kestrel91316]

16. Plame didn't make this mess. Bushco did.

[Igel]

20. Does that apply to the agents

involved in extraordinary rendition?

Or the al-Masri kidnapping CIA folk?

Just curious.

14. Patrick Fitzgerald told the world that the day Libby was indicted.

18. She worked for the "CIA," the "CIA," the "CIA." What difference does it make whether she was covert

She worked for the CIA. The Bush administration went after someone who was working on a national security mission with the "CIA." It doesn't matter whether or not she was "covert." People focusing on that miss the point. The White House went after a member of the CIA who was in the field.

Besides, the fact that they had to "leak" her name is all the proof that you needed that it was not supposed to be "public."

[Igel]

22. It matters in at least one way.

If shes covert, as defined by law, then when her identitiy was revealed there was the possibily that the law covering covert agents was violated. "Covert" doesn't apply to all CIA folk by any means; revealing their identities violates a regulation.

As it is, there's still no evidence the law dealing with revealing covert agents' identities was violated.

[NDP]

26. What does the CIA mean to the United States? It doesn't matter. The "White House" compromised

the security of the United States, and did so intentionally. Regardless of whether she was covert or not, the White House ruinied that assignment, and commited high crimes and misdemeanors in the process. This is the "CIA" we are talking about, not the YMCA.

[yodermon]

21. Not only was she covert, but she

SERVED outside the US on "SECRECT MISSIONS" in a covert capacity, WITHIN 5 YEARS PRIOR TO HER OUTING, which DOES, in fact, cover her under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act.

[emulatorloo]

23. Notice Rep Davis (R) spin -- "She was covert. BUT THE WHITE HOUSE DIDN'T KNOW!!!!"

that's an approximate quote, of course. And that, because the White House allegedly didn't know she was covert, her leak was the CIA's fault.

[WoodrowFan]

24. BS

because she was covert then anytime her name was mentioned in an official document it'd note her status.

[progressoid]

25. Nothing will stop them from saying it. Lies are their M.O.
