I guess Yahoo "news" didn't see the same testimony I did

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070316/ap_on_go_co/cia_leak_congress

First of all the headline is misleading:

"Plame rails senior officials over leak"

Really, this a a personal interest, MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Writer, not a breach of national security?

Then within the article you have paragraphs like this:

"Democrats questioned whether the Bush administration mishandled classified information by leaking her identity to reporters. No one has been charged with leaking her identity."

This was just THE Democrats, OK. "No one has been charged with leaking her identity.", but is that because cheney declassified the one page to identify her as a covert OP perhaps, MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Writer

Then the article goes on to distort that she DIDN'T recommend her husband for the job by this sentence:

"That conflicts with senior officials at the CIA and State Department, who testified during Libby's trial that Plame recommended Wilson for the trip."

That isn't the same thing I saw and heard. In fact I heard just the oposite. I WOULD PERSONALLY LIKE TO RECOMMEND TO THESE LAP DOG JOUNALISTS, THAT SHE TESTIFIED UNDER OATH THAT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

Than this BASTARD, MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Writer questions that no one understood what covert means by these lines:

"Plame also repeatedly described herself as a covert operative, a term that has multiple meanings. Plame said she worked undercover and traveled abroad on secret missions for the CIA.
But the word "covert" also has a legal definition requiring recent foreign service and active efforts to keep someone's identity secret. Critics of Fitzgerald's investigation said Plame did not meet that definition for several reasons and said that's why nobody was charged with the leak."

Thank you for being so objective, MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Writer, typical MEDIA WHORE

Maybe he will have an opportunity to cover the Iraq war up front and personal. Remember that war, the one based on a LIE? The one that Plame said that Iraq DID NOT HAVE WMDs, the brester jennings front that was established in 1994 to investigate WMDs in Iraq and Iran, and blown by this administration.

Anyone who defends this outing is spitting on our country and its laws

8. I heard and saw that
however, like in the end of 3 Days of the Conder, when the Redford's character gives the story to the NY Times, Clift Robertson's charcter says in chilling words, "They won't print it"
