Novak's Rude Awakening
by L C Johnson

Boy, is that the best he can do? I refer of course to Bob "the Colostomy Bag" Novak's column today in which he demonstrates that he still does not understand the basics of CIA cover. I am working out of town this week on a terrorism exercise (I get the night shift) and am not able to post as I would like. But Novak's column demands a quick response.

First and most important, he does not dispute that CIA Director Michael Hayden authorized a statement read by Henry Waxman at last Friday's hearing that states very clearly: Valerie Plame Wilson worked in an undercover position since February 2002 until she was outed in Novak's column. Her status was covert and was considered to be classified information. And, as defined in the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, she carried out classified missions overseas during the period 2002-2003.

All Novak can do is whine about the fact that General Hayden would not give this same information to Republican Peter Hoekstra. Why would that be?

Well you fat dumb fuck, ever hear of the Scooter Libby trial? Hayden did not weigh in on the matter of Valerie's covert status as long as it was an issue that could surface in the criminal trial. He did not want to be in the position of having to go on the stand and divulge classified information. Once he started talking about Valerie and Brewster Jennings he would have been on a road that would expose more information that the CIA would rather keep secret.

2. kick

The Shrub's apologists are in such denial . . . and in such insulation from the real world . . .

If they understood how they are being exposed as complete fools, they'd jump off a bridge.

This has been an amazing week. And we ain't done yet.

3. Bob "the Colostomy Bag" Novak!

:spray:

4. Ask Rotten Robbie...

...how proud he must be that he blew up Brewster Jennings, the CIA's premier "brass plate" global WMD anti-proliferation intelligence opertion.

The classic smokescreen parsing over the word 'covert' is just another distration from a guilty blowhard who got caught with his pants down. He along with Rove and Cheney, are personally reponsible for taking down Brewster Jennings.

Spin that clowntown...

7. Everyone involved in outing Valerie Plame Wilson is a traitor.

Treason is defined in the Constitution as giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States, which destroying our WMD anti-proliferation apparatus surely is.

So, what does a country do when its president and other high officers are traitors? Why, impeachment and long prison sentences, of course!

I might actually give a pass on the Big Fat Fuck Novak because he might be covered by the First Amendment. In my opinion, it depends on if he was given something of worth to out Plame. If he did it for compensation as opposed to out of some twisted belief in the public's right to know, then he should go down with the Bush Boys.

9. Why isn't this traitor behind bars?

10. Right..

It was classified information and Novak wasn't cleared for it, so all they could say was don't print it...
