Will Waxman have witnesses under oath in the Plame disclosure hearing next Friday?

[Tennessee Gal]

I sure hope so.

[Monkeyman]

1. Yes

[tridim]

2. Yes, without a doubt

This congress is the real deal, not the fake crap we've been dealing with for the past 15 or so years.

3. What I wonder is if they'll have to make some accommodations

to have closed session for some details on her service.

It's going to be interesting to see if Bush is going to have Gonzo either try to block it for "National Security" reasons, or if they have paperwork ready to go taking people into custody for disclosing 'matters of national security'. (how ironic)

[Monkeyman]

4. She been outed so I think it all will be on the record

[Norquist Nemesis]

8. There are specifics with her work that are not public

Cons are screaming "she wasn't covert!". She may be asked for details about her work that would/could disclose things. Just a thought.

11. Just because she's been outed doesn't mean the CIA has declassified her former status.

They're holding up her book because they say her employment with the CIA is still classified. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16498076/site/newsweek/

5. I am wondering what Fitz will do in response to Waxman's letter.

[Glimmer of Hope]

6. Doesn't he have to respond soon? I have a feeling he won't appear.

[Tennessee Gal]

7. I have that same feeling.

But he could meet with Waxman privately.

[Norquist Nemesis]

9. Maybe I misread the letter, but I thought it asked him to meet

with Waxman and the ranking member Davis to discuss it (and maybe hand over some files/evidence in the process???), but not necessarily requesting an appearance before the whole committee.

[speedoo]

10. that's correct. nm
