[The Witch]

23. Val: I'm UNDER OATH, dammit

I was Covert.

[myrna minx]

No, I did not, but a damage assessment was done by the agency but they did not share assessment with her.

[annabanana]

24. I worked to discover solid intel re WMDs

[myrna minx]

[mod mom]

26. love the "impeach Bush now" tee shirt behind her right shoulder

[malaise]

30. Fabulous indeed

[MonkeyFunk]

I don't

this is important. Her gesturing and other nonsense on camera is a distraction.

[MrMickeysMom]

69. Agreed n/t

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. let's bet on how long until she gets kicked out. look at her !!!

making the shame sign with her fingers !!! HAHAHAHAHA

[H2O Man]

Valerie is slamming the liars who have smeared her, and tried to discredit her work.

[annabanana]

28. "It was not common knowledge"

[The Witch]

29. She is talking about her work in the runup to the Iraq War

I smell a big disclosure

[antonialee839]

40. Destroyed entire networks.

[blm]

72. They NEEDED Plame outed to ruin the CIA's investigations of armsdealing and terror networks

[Laura PourMeADrink]

42. code pink

[The Witch]

43. God, I love them..

Heroes :loveya:

Val making it very clear that her exposure harmed others

[MrMickeysMom]

54. I love them too, but

I really wish there wasn't a person who looks like a cross dresser positioning and pointing "shame, shame, shame" finger toward the C-SPAN camera. It sort of makes a little circus atmosphere in the back. Or, am I being a jerk about this? I want Code Pink to be taken seriously!

[proud2BlibKansan]

110. That's my friend Midge Potts!

She is awesome. She is from Springfield, MO and has been in DC for months lobbying to end the war.

You go, Midge, you go!!!

:yourock:

[SlowDownFast]

149. Your friend is an ass.

Purposely getting in the camera view and making a circus of a very important serious hearing.

Not the way to advance the cause.

[proud2BlibKansan]

154. She is a shero

Midge is doing more than 99% of Americans to expose the lies of the bush administration. She gave up her life to go to DC and lobby against the war and for impeachment. I have nothing but tremendous respect for her. Sorry you disagree.

[SlowDownFast]

155. Whatever.

You're the same one who proclaimed that the woman who badgered Obey while secretely filming him was a hero.

This kinda shit is naive, selfish and distracts from the cause, not to mention gives ammo to the neocons.

[LSK]

39. 2 thread #2s???

[annabanana]

41. Everyone of my coworkers understand the vulnerabilities

[Laura PourMeADrink]

53. "I was convert" BINGO

[annabanana]

44. testimony in the Libby trial indicated that my exposure was purely political

[malaise]

47. Politicizing of intelligence services

Nail them Valerie.

[myrna minx]

46. Libby trial indicates that her exposure arose from purely political nature.

[The Witch]

48. Talking about how intelligence must be evaluated

Any CIA officer would rather be fired on the spot than distort intelligence :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

[jarnocan]

50. Wow live on MSNBC woot it is looking good

Kuciinch!!! etc. after the rally GREEN BEER to celebrate???

[rodeodance]

66. Plame: "yes, I was covert"

[myrna minx]

56. She is amazing!

"Our country owes you gratitude for your service."

July 13th: Were you covert?
VP: I was covert, yes.

[trof]

57. OK, so how will the repugs try to weasel out of this one?

Careful, careful boys.
This lady's testimony is one hot potato.

[annabanana]

59. Yarmuth; "did the column destroy your status?" "yes"

[Roland99]

77. That's my Congressman! He replaced Repuke Ann Northup!!!

[myrna minx]

60. Did the July 13 column destroy your covert status?

Yes.

[myrna minx]

65. "Is it safe to say that you did not out yourself?"

Yes.

[JackBeck]

68. That was a GREAT question!

[AllegroRondo]

71. I hope this is all over the Sunday talk shows

the talking heads have plenty to discuss here.

[myrna minx]

79. Exactly. This is just breath taking to hear her take on the republican smears

head on.

[annabanana]

62. How did you react?

[bdamomma]

63. that code pink protestor should just stand there she is very

a powerful image just standing there. Just listening.

[rodeodance]

75. agree, very powerful

[Skittles]

153. yes INDEED

[Annces]

64. Excellent

The plain truth for once.

[annabanana]

67. How she found out "Over in a instant" worried over safety of

family and coworkers.. Professionally I could no longer tdo the work I was trained to do

[annabanana]

70. Val: The agency did "damage assesment" they did not share it with her

[yodermon]

82. isn't this the first confirmation of a damage assessment?

it's been speculated but never officially confirmed?

[lala_rawraw]

152. no, my article was the first and only

[yodermon]

156. Noted.

you rock
and you deserve a pulitzer
and i'm not fucking kidding.

[annabanana]

74. How will the agency attract talented young people?

[Eurobabe]

76. very damaging testimony

if the US can't protect one of its own agents, how can it protect a foreign agent who might provide covert information?

[trof]

78. 2nd questioner Dem, too? Where are repugs?

[Eurobabe]

Paul Hodes, D-NH (Concord ,Nashua, Keene)

Talking about this great graphic. Do you have any theory who told Karl Rove about your status?

[Lasher]

93. I'm pretty sure I just saw one of them run out of the room crying like a baby.

Too bad for them they're no longer in control of Congress.

[Lasher]

111. The government webcast seems to work better than CSPAN uno does

It's the one set up by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform

http://www.oversight.house.gov/story.asp?ID=1205

[annabanana]

80. Showing chart shows 20 different disclosures of her employment

[H2O Man]

85. Very important.

"This isn't a complete picture ...."

[Lasher]

81. I'll bet freeper heads are exploding

Their rationalization is just getting sillier as time goes by. CIA's fault. How lame.

[myrna minx]

86. Ah, you know the freepers are probably denying that C-span exists

and that the House of Representatives is just a liberal conspiracy. :rofl:

[myrna minx]

92. Argh! My C-span stream is so choppy. n/t

[annabanana]

83. There was a niagara of leaks (my characterization)

[Hepburn]

84. OMG....the chart

These guys are prepared!

And they did this on info from the Libby trial. This is wonderful.

[annabanana]

87. Unanswered question: Who told Cheney and Rove?

[Annces]

94. Black box on chart

I hope congress can fill this in.

[Hepburn]

97. This is sooooooo good

Their stated purpose is to investigate WHO outed her....and they are naming names. And filling in blanks.

Woooooooohoooooooo!!! Go, go, go!!!!!!!

[bobthedrummer]

88. Rove is cooked

[helderheid]

90. God, I hope so. I am in the mood for BBQ

[antonialee839]

91. Rove probably wishes he never heard

the name Rove today.

[bobthedrummer]

107. Susan Bonzon Ralston should be part of the side dishes

[annabanana]

89. Rove told Matthews Valerie was "fair game"

[La_Fourmi_Rouge]

95. Heads Up! Novakula on Faux Nooz. n/t

[annabanana]

Did any of those people ever call you and apologize?. . NO

[bdamomma]

144. you could hear disgust in the air when she said that.

[Blackhatjack]

96. Chart Is Excellent Way to Communicate To The Public The Breadth & Depth of Wrongdoing...

Everyone can look at this chart and understand the total 'coordination' of efforts to 'out' Plame's covert status.

[Eurobabe]

98. Did anyone ever apologize to you?

Prez, VP, Rove, etc.?

[myrna minx]

99. HAs anyone ever called you to apologize?

No.

[annabanana]

100. I worked for counter proliferation - (She could not prove that

the leakers knew she was covert)

[antonialee839]

101. Oh great this pig Davis is up again.

[annabanana]

102. BOY Tom Davis is an ASS

[EFerrari]

105. Yeah but she's smarter than this @ss and will have him for brunch.

Let him hang himself.

[Quiet_Dem_Mom]

117. I nominate Chris Cooper to play him in the movie. Even has a physical resemblance to Rep. Ass.

nt

[Blackhatjack]

103. Tom Davis should look like a fool when all of this is said and done...n/t

[antonialee839]

108. Here we go blaming the CIA again.

[Eurobabe]

104. Tom Davis R-VA, did the CIA fail to protect you?

[JackBeck]

112. What was her response?

[Wednesdays]

129. She essentially said

that Congress needs to review the CIA protection laws.

[EFerrari]

133. In part, she said the CIA devoted a lot of money, time and energy

to developing covers for its agents.

[Hepburn]

118. What an ass...

...maybe he should have thought about whether the slime in the WH should have checked with the CIA before they threw her name around.

[annabanana]

106. The word from Rove is apparently "Blame the CIA"

[sinkingfeeling]

114. Bingo! And Rep. Davis, do you have any proof that Cheney, Rove, etc.

DIDN'T know that she was covert?

[marmar]

109. I don't advocate violence....

but Tom Davis needs his ass kicked.

[Sydnie]

113. Look Davis ... the CIA wanted it investigated

that should be enough for you!

[malaise]

122. More importantly the REthug appointed CIA chief

told the Committee that Valerie was covert.

[H2O Man]

123. He is repulsive.

He illustrates many of the problems with the republican machine. He continues to blame the victim of the crime.

[keithjx]

115. Davis is sticking to the CRIMINAL aspect.

This hearing is supposed to be on the POLICY aspect. Asshat....
KJ

[EFerrari]

127. It may blow up in his face. n/t

[Wednesdays]

116. "Waste of time" Davis

The CIA screwed up by not preventing the leak? :wtf:

[myrna minx]

119. VP: I was covert. I did travel overseas on secret missions. n/t

[babylonsister]

121. Davis seems so confrontational; can he not believe this admin

could 'out' a covert officer and, if not, what sand dune has his head been stuck in?

[antonialee839]

130. When is time up for this simpleton?

[babylonsister]

134. Not soon enough! nt

[brook]

141. Davis seems to have won

the pool for "BushStooge of the Day".

[Blackhatjack]

124. Tom, never ask a question you do not already know the answer to...

"Did any ever tell you your career path had been damaged?"
"Yes"

Outstanding work Davis!

[bdamomma]

125. Davis is trying to point the finger at the CIA

you can just hear that implication huh?

[myrna minx]

131. He's also implying that her career wasn't ruined.

:eyes:

[myrna minx]

126. Did anyone at the agency say that your career was damaged>

VP: Yes.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

128. Bet a million Jon Stewart will have a clip of the code pink chick nt

[annabanana]

132. can we get together on Plame #3??

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x424917

[antonialee839]

135. Yes Tom, let's put this speculation to rest.

[annabanana]

136. for the sake of the cube rats? Plame 3

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x424917

[paparush]

138. Tom Davis - Rethug fromVA is playing Bush** Defense Lawyer..

What a dick! He's not investigating the leak. he's making LAME excuses for the rethug criminals.

[trof]

139. Davis is playing 'defense attorney'.

Wrong time, wrong place, dipshit.

[Skidmore]

145. Let him play the role. It underscores the guilt of the administration.

[brooklynite]

140. It would be nice if one of the Dem's made the following point...

It doesn't matter what efforts the CIA took and it doesn't matter what impact this had on Ms. Plame's career path...

the bottom line is that at a time of war White House officials damaged an intelligence asset by revealing her identity. The burden was on them to ensure the legality and security of any information they made public.

Fair use cited

[Ian David]

147. She just said that she was covert and went on secret missions outside the US while

Cheney was leaking her identity.

[Lasher]

146. Nixon's approval was around 25% when he resigned.

Wonder if this will put Junior down there with him? Maybe he'll set a new record.

[Ian David]

148. Ooh! Vallerie Plams is getting more media attention than baseball player testimony!

Maybe our national priorities are getting back in line?

[Lasher]

151. This has elements that get people's attention

An attractive blonde, but this one's not missing. Political intrigue galore. Legal implications. And a real live SPY giving testimony!
