Also, Plame hinted that bad things happened to other covert agents because of the leak; but she is unable to give specifics.
Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is. ~George W. Bush Bottom line, no one will want to work for or with the CIA. (Well, except MI6 and Mossad - but of course, Valerie didn't say that)

Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is. ~George W. Bush Aha!!!! Tom Davis (GOP) Valerie does know KNOW that Cheney KNEW that she was under covers. Therefore... they're all innocent and should get more medals. Case closed. Oh, and she was NOT demoted for the crime of being outed. So, where's the harm?

It's my understanding that Plame-Wilson was tracking rogue nuclear materials from Russia that was otherwise destined for the black market, and her very comprehensive informant network was shattered instantly, driving them and the available fissile materials deeper underground. The US could have purchased that potential dirty bomb ingredient to keep it out of the hands of "bad people". If a device is detonated in the west either with or without the level of techno sophistication needed to result in fission, it will more than likely be made with Russian radioactive material.
If such a device is detonated, that will very much suit the interests of any neocons and members of the military-industrial complex who survive the event.
Katrina was America's Chernobyl.
Cummings is making a clear case that she was covert. I can't wait for Victoria Toensing to have egg all over her miserable treasonous face. Rep Westmoreland isn't near as clever as he thinks he is.
Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is. ~George W. Bush Ok. I think June and Ward Cleaver may disagree with you, but that's another discussion for another time. Oh no, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) just asked Valerie if in fact she was not covert, and he said Victoria Toensing (lawyer, and wife of former US Attorney Joseph DeGenova) is going to testify later to that effect. Toensing and DeGenova are both lawyers for Tom Capano here in DE, and they also defend crooked federal govt types. I guess Victoria is going to "lawyer us all" and sprinkle some fairie dust around to try and protect the regime. "As reported by Olbermann, who gives Joseph Wilson an opportunity to respond to Joseph Degenova's blathering today on NPR. DeGenova stated today on NPR that Wilson's report on Niger actually supported the conclusion that Iraq was trying to procure enriched uranium from the African nation. Wilson pointed out that DeGenova is wrong about a lot including that he (DeGenova) is still trying to perpetrate the lie that Plame was not a covert agent (a lie specifically refuted by Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation). How many times does Wilson have to say it? C'mon NPR, you can do better than that." http://rising-hegemon.blogspot.com/2006/04/atsa-my-degenova.html
Right. In fact, some skilled govt scribe may attempt to link militias, gun owners, tax resisters, etc., with the Arab/Muslim boogie persons like Al Qaeda. A DOUBLE VICTORY!
Valerie's kicking ass.
She says under oath: she did not recommend her hubby, did not suggest him, did not have the authority.

Wall-Eye, as I prefer to call Vickie, was closely associated with the "Elves" or "Scaifettes," which included Mr. Ann Coulter. She's a flat-out right-wing operative, as is her worthless husband. I'm not sure elves sprinkle faerie dust, but you get the point.
Holy cows!!! There's a new Sarbanes in the congress!!! Of the Sox fame.

That's their "no foul, no harm" defense. It's a lie. As is the lie that she was not undercover. She was DEEP undercover, and her cover company, which included other agents in the WMD group, was blown when the Bushies outed her.
I'd love to ask each of the leakers (like Novak) just what their intentions were. I'd treat Novak as a hostile witness and ask, "Did you know that BushCo was attempting to punish Joseph Wilson by outing his wife and implying that she was instrumental in his selection to travel to Niger to investigate the yellowcake story?" "Did you know that BushCo was attempting to discredit the yellowcake evidence because the charge that Saddam had attempted to purchase it was untrue and likely "fabbed up" in The White House?" "If you were asked to help the White House discredit Wilson/Plame would you have agreed to do so?" "At any time was the subject of a presidential pardon mentioned in the event of you being criminally charged and convicted?"
Those are the questions Novak is ducking with his "protecting sources" argument. He knew what he was doing would out an operative, but his loyalty to the GOP overcame his loyalty to the United States. In the case of a criminal act, protection of sources is a no-go among journalists. He hasn't got a leg to stand on, but some journalists, worried about a slippery slope, are backing him and Judy Miller, both Bush operatives.

Right, but I wonder whether it is his loyalty to the GOP or perhaps loyalty to something else....
The WH security officer... LOL Man... does he look uncomfortable. Looks like all he wants is to be allowed to go back home. Rove had a DUTY to report any security breach, the officer says, almost in a whisper.

The guy is going to resign if he's a man.

They should not let this guy go yet. It looks like he's about to crack and spill the beans if they lean on him a bit more. Man should have brought a bunch of lawyers with him. This is almost as entertaining as the Iran-Contra stuff.

"Can you explain why Mr. Rove still has a security clearance today? Or does he?" "Yes, he does." "Does the security of the United States depend of the outcome of a criminal proceeding?"

Hmmm... where are the GOP congressmen? It looks like they all skedaddled.

Good. I had to record the rest. I'll check it later.
Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is. ~George W. Bush This round is way more interesting than the Plame testimony. The WH security officer basically admits that he doesn't do anything about security leaks if they are done by his higher-ups - and, apparently, just about anyone at the WH is his 'higher up'. His MO is like this: no investigation whatsoever if an outside criminal investigation is going on. And, after it's over... well... he's not really going to open the cans of worms.

Gone like the wind are the checks and balances. Even this investigation is just a look at the aftermath, not the protections that stop a govt from throwing its own out in the cold, to further an illegal, immoral and treasonous agenda.

Gloria Tonsils' turn now. I hope she is entertaining. She seems to imply now that it is all CIA's fault for having Plame outed.

stupid witch
Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is. ~George W. Bush It looks like she abandoned the line that: "Plame was not undercover and that she had a desk job." The new line is that the CIA outed her. They also did not STRONGLY tell Novak not to publish her name.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
Let's see how often that new lie is repeated on LP and FR.

It is not a Justice System. It is just a system.
These 2 are the GOP witnesses lineup.

Well, she's a smart witch, but Waxman just kicked the crap out of her.
It is not a Justice System. It is just a system.
The CIA director said that Plame was a covert agent but Gloria Tonsils says that she was. Karl Rove says that he leaked the info but Gloria says that he didn't. It is entertaining. And the Demo darkies are doing a great job. I think it's like three of them and they are merciless.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
That pud just collects a check - the most damning testimony of all that I was able to see.
Diane Watson (D-Calif) nailed Vickie's nazi hide to the wall. Vickie keeps trying to say, as she has brayed all over Fox for years, that Plame was not covert "under the statute." Watson pointed out she was invited to speak about a Presidential Directive, under which anyone being considered covert's identity is classified. She finally got Wall-Eye to admit she was covert under the directive.
Wow, Waxman just called Toensig a liar, said they were going to fact-check everything she said and hold the record open so that documents could be entered disputing her unvarnished opinions. That's close to as nasty as it gets in a house committee hearing.
Too bad it's over. They should have kept that WH security director all day long and then called him back on Saturday.

I love it!!

If anything, it was probably a plug for herself or for Foxy news. Plame showed great dignity and she was 100% credible. The WH director was a WH disaster. I hope they don't stop here.
