Putting The Myth To Rest: Plame Was Covert
Crooks and Liars has a lot of video on the hearings it is very interesting .... now the bushies can no longer use their tired excuse the Plame was not covert .... she was.
Here is a write-up an crooks and liars ... I haven't been able to figure out how to get direct access to the video so you will have to go to the site for that ....
The favorite meme of the right-wing apologists has long been that there was no crime committed in exposing Valerie Plame's identity because she was not a covert agent at the time of Novak's article (see here, here, here, here, and here). Rep Elijah Cummings (D-MD) devoted his entire first round of questioning today to clarifying whether or not Valerie Plame was indeed "covert" at the time of her outing. Let this be the video that sets the record straight once and for all. I don't anticipate an apology from the wingnuts anytime soon, however.
While you are there check out the video on Gonzalez there is a clip at the bottom that explains the emails and why this case is extremely important. More facts for the bushies to ignore. Also a video with the countdown guy.
Check it out

Putting The Myth To Rest: Plame Was Covert
From the July 14, 2005, edition of CNN's Wolf Blitzer Reports, which featured host Wolf Blitzer:
BLITZER: The -- but the other argument that's been made against you is that you've sought to capitalize on this extravaganza, having that photo shoot with your wife [in the January 2004 Vanity Fair magazine], who was a clandestine officer of the CIA, and that you've tried to enrich yourself writing this book and all of that.
What do you make of those accusations, again, which are serious accusations, as you know, that have been leveled against you?
WILSON: My wife was not a clandestine officer the day that Bob Novak blew her identity.
BLITZER: But she hadn't been a clandestine officer for some time before that?
WILSON: That's not anything that I can talk about. And, indeed, I'll go back to what I said earlier, the CIA believed that a possible crime had been committed, and that's why they referred it to the Justice Department.
She was not a clandestine officer at the time that that article in Vanity Fair appeared.
Looks like her hubby has some questions to answer.
Have a good one!:s4:

I knew the bushies would have to come up with something to sidestep the real issue.:wtf:
Wilson doesn't have to answer anything. It's the illegitimate bush regime that has to do the answering. Especially the question of why they never bother to investigate as they said they would ..... this has to be the most corrupted regime that ever stole office. :toilet_claw:
Back to the issue .... Contrary to bushies talking points Plame WAS indeed covert you CAN'T get around that no matter how many bullshit articles you post on Wilson.

Sidestep what issue? Your damn thread starter ISN'T the issue? Her HUSBAND is stating that she wasn't, she states that she was.
HE was telling others that she wasn't from the links YOU provided and you put it across that I'm digging up shit? Good morning to you too! Any other "spin" this morning by chance?
You want to throw a "Bushie" label on me go right ahead....hell, I don't mind at all! :thumbsup:
Have a good one!:s4:

Wow, the illegitimate bush regime also convinced Mr. Armitage to help them???
An excerpt from one of your cited artiles.......
"The partisan furor over this allegation led to the appointment of special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald. Yet after two years of investigation, Mr. Fitzgerald charged no one with a crime for leaking Ms. Plame's name. In fact, he learned early on that Mr. Novak's primary source was former deputy secretary of state Richard L. Armitage, an unlikely tool of the White House. The trial has provided convincing evidence that there was no conspiracy to punish Mr. Wilson by leaking Ms. Plame's identity -- and no evidence that she was, in fact, covert."
Just another typical random act of selfishness coming out of Washington that has to be blamed on someone......and the nominees are....Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Libby and Rove (wow, these guys always get nominated for 'scapegoat of the moment')
I hope the Democrats win the white house in '08, then the scandals will at least have some steamy sex involved......

Your thumbnail suit you ....
....you didn't even bother to read what you posted ....
WILSON: My wife was not a clandestine officer the day that Bob Novak blew her identity.
What does it have to be spelled out to you. The day Novak blew her cover was the day she was NO LONGER an agent ... what part of that you don't understand?
Before that day she was an undercover agent that came out at the hearing you didn't bother to watch .... so yes you are trying to dig up bullshit.
You can no longer get around the fact the Plame was covert until Novak printed her name .... not to mention that several members of the illegitimate bush regime are responsible for the outing including the illegitimate bush and cheney.
Have a good day.:p
