Libby told Bush spokesman of Plame's WMD work

What's significant is the detail that Fleischer provided. He said that Libby told him not just that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA, but that she worked at the counter-proliferations division. That was a particular detail that is significant to people who know about the CIA. The counter-proliferations division is in the Director of Operations. That's the secret arm of the CIA. It's the most sensitive arm of the CIA. Something that Libby and his boss, Vice President Dick Cheney, very well knew. They knew the CIA like the back of their hands.

3. by the time Cheney testifies

the jurors will have heard many times that Cheney knew Plame was Wilson's wife, and was working on WMDs. The jurors will have heard that Cheney instructed Libby to spread her name to the press. If Cheney tries to lie everyone in the courtroom will know it immediately and he will look very foolish. Can't wait till Cheney's cross-exmanination.

4. How could this be?

Ask any flag waving patriotic American and they will tell you that Ms Plame was just an insignificant desk jockey who knew little of anything about the CIA even though she had worked there for more then 20 years. And the same constitution supporting patriotic Americans will tell you that this Libby trial is pure politics, an evil liberal attempt to smear our great leader. And, they will insist that if VP Cheney has to be sworn in it will only be to embarrass him.

My hate is rational.

5. just a desk jockey.

Victoria Toensing, Representative Peter King, and P. J. O'Rourke insist that Valerie was nothing, just a desk jockey.

Novak said a confidential source at the CIA told him Plame was "an analyst, not a spy, not a covert operative and not in charge of undercover operatives."

CNN congressional correspondent Ed Henry repeated the false claim that former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV "suggested" that his wife, covert CIA operative Valerie Plame, was not undercover at the time columnist Robert D. Novak

http://www.prospect.org/webfeatures/2004/02/waas-m-02-12.html
"When I called the CIA in July, they confirmed Mrs. Wilson's involvement in a mission for her husband on a secondary basis ... they asked me not to use her name, but never indicated it would endanger her or anybody else.

"According to a confidential source at the CIA, Mrs. Wilson was an analyst, not a spy, not a covert operative, and not in charge of undercover operatives. So what is the fuss about, pure Bush-bashing?"

Is this splitting hairs? Not at all. In Washington, plenty of people are acquainted with CIA operatives who are not working undercover.

"It could be embarrassing but not illegal," said Victoria Toensing, who was chief counsel of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence when Congress passed the law protecting the identities of undercover agents.

G. Gordon Liddy repeated his GOP talking point, that Plame was not undercover, that the nation's security was not at stake.

JUST FOR FUN, ARE YOU SHOCKED NOW CharlieChan?

To: hispanarepublicana
I had a hunch she wasn't a covert agent.
Ever since this thing surfaced, there was constant hemming and hahing about whether she was or wasn't.
Frankly, I'd be shocked if she ever was undercover. Odds are she was part of the CIA affirmative action hiring campaign.
And has been nothing more than a paper-shuffler.

7. LOL

:rofl: :popcorn:

6. It appears everyone is speaking plain English and not Aspenese.

I'm waiting (hoping) to hear/read Brewster-Jennings Q and A's.

[blm]

8. My guess is that PLENTY has gone on in Iran armsdealing that Cheney didn't mind

blowing the secure nature of Plame's work.

Does anyone think Poppy Bush decided to STOP armsdealing and drugrunning and terrorist funding in the 90s just because he wasn't in the WH anymore?

9. Is it treason yet? nt

[SalmonChantedEvening]

11. This is what Treason looks like America.

Damnable, despicable treason of the highest order.

And the lowest.

May they forever know nothing but shame and ignominity.
