The really funny thing about Rove defenders is....

[Buried_Nick]

....... that they cite the fact that old Karl never actually said Valerie's name.
And may have not even known she was a CIA Operative, just that she "works there."

OK.

If I say that; ya know? "That Bill Clinton's WIFE is the one who's a Senator from NY." - Would that mean I didn't know her name. Or that I just didn't want to actually Say her name?

I mean, how do I know that she's a Senator from NY, and Bills wife, if I don't know her name?

How did/does Rove know that Wilson's wife "works at the CIA", if he really, truly didn't know her name? Where did HE get that info, if he really didn't know who she was.? He just knew she worked there. Huh?

Hmmmmm..............

Weird.

Either Rove's (Ahem!) lying, or someone ELSE (Ahem! Judith MILLER!) was the real person who leaked it, and wanted to cause harm to her and Wilson, for his column.

Notice how Miller never ever said a word about Plame, and the whole controversy after it broke in Novaks smear piece. And based on all her previous pinings for all things WAR and BUSH, you'd think she'd hjave Jumped on the Wilson/Plame thing!

Again, NeoNazi's. Deny it. Spin it. I don't gara. We all know what went down.

Sucks to be you.

Not only do we all not know what went down, but you clearly don't either. In fact, there's so many liars involved in the whole thing that we probably won't ever really learn the truth.

Do you always convict without all the facts? Have you heard of innocent until proven guilty? The Wilsons tried to use their powers and status to help John Kerry and his campaign. Guess what?

No, what will happen is the Republican party will single handedly hand the White House back to the Clintons. Your stupid fucking propaganda will get on everyones last nerve and there will be a backlash.

McCain (who I will vote for) will be crushed by Clinton. It will be yours and the rest of the cockjockeys faults for causing this. You know what, maybe the radical left will be the only thing to returns things to a center line.

Stay tuned for 2028 when the election will be about, "Why were we fighting all these years? How can we suck China's dick?"

It'd be cool if our politics were like that in Britain, but they have this thing called media in the UK. I hear its pretty fuckin cool and the hate is pointed at the politicians instead of against each other.

[DrDetroit]

Apparently, David Corn at The Nation was the first to "out" Plame as a "undercover agent."

Who Exposed Secret Agent Plame?
How about the least likely suspect?

This just in: Bob Novak did not reveal that Valerie Plame was an undercover agent for the CIA.

Read — or reread — his column from July 14, 2003. All Novak reports is that the wife of former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson is “an Agency operative on weapons of mass destruction.”

Novak has said repeatedly that he was not told, and that he did not know, that Plame was — or had ever been — a NOC, an agent with Non-Official Cover. He has emphatically said that had he understood that she was any sort of secret agent, he would never have named her.

As for Novak’s use of the word “operative,” he might as easily have called her an “official,” an “analyst, or an “employee.” But, as a longtime newsman, he instinctively chose the sexiest term (one he routinely applies to political figures, too, i.e. “a party operative”).

Reread Novak’s article, and you’ll also see that Novak in no way denigrates Wilson. On the contrary, he talks of Wilson’s “heroism” in Iraq in 1991. And nowhere in his column does he say — or even imply — that Wilson was unqualified to conduct the Niger investigation or that Plame was responsible for getting him the assignment — merely that she “suggested sending him.”

Even so, it is unclear whether Novak’s sources may have committed a crime by talking to Novak about Plame. That would depend on a number of variables involving what they knew about Plame and how they came to know it. A prosecutor would have the power to compel Novak to testify regarding what was said to him and by whom.

Is this splitting hairs? Not at all. In Washington, plenty of people are acquainted with CIA operatives who are not working undercover. For example, when a CIA analyst wrote a book under the pseudonym “Anonymous,” it was widely known that Anonymous was the Agency’s Michael Scheuer. Before long, someone revealed that in print. No crime was committed or alleged — no classified information had been disclosed, no NOC had been exposed.

So if Novak did not reveal that Valerie Plame was a secret agent, who did? The evidence strongly suggests it was none other than Joe Wilson himself. Let me walk you through the steps that lead to this conclusion.

The first reference to Plame being a secret agent appears in The Nation, in an article by David Corn published July 16, 2003, just two days after Novak’s column appeared. It carried this lead: “Did Bush officials blow the cover of a U.S. intelligence officer working covertly in a field of vital importance to national security — and break the law — in order to strike at a Bush administration critic and intimidate others?”

Since Novak did not report that Plame was “working covertly” how did Corn know that’s what she had been doing?

Corn does not tell his readers and he has responded to a query from me only by pointing out that he was asking a question, not making a “statement of fact.” But in the article, he asserts that Novak “outed” Plame “as an undercover CIA officer.” Again, Novak did not do that. Rather, it is Corn who is, apparently for the first time, “outing” Plame’s “undercover” status.

Corn follows that assertion with a quote from Wilson saying, “I will not answer questions about my wife.” Any reporter worth his salt would immediately wonder: Did Wilson indeed answer Corn’s questions about his wife — after Corn agreed not to quote his answers but to use them only on background? Read the rest of Corn’s piece and it’s difficult to believe anything else. Corn names no other sources for the information he provides — and he provides much more information than Novak revealed.

Corn also claims that Wilson “will not confirm nor deny that his wife …works for the CIA.” Corn adds: “But let’s assume she does. That would seem to mean that the Bush administration has screwed one of its own top-secret operatives in order to punish Wilson …”

On what basis could Corn “assume” that Plame was not only working covertly but was actually a “top-secret” operative? And where did Corn get the idea that Plame had been “outed” in order to punish Wilson? That is not suggested by anything in the Novak column which, as I noted, is sympathetic to Wilson and Plame.

The likely answer: The allegation that someone in the administration leaked to Novak as a way to punish Wilson was made by Wilson — to Corn. But Corn, rather than quote Wilson, puts the idea forward as his own.

Keep in mind that from early on there were two possible but contradictory scenarios:
1) Members of the Bush administration intentionally exposed a covert CIA agent as a way to take revenge against her husband who had written a critical op-ed.
2) Members of the Bush administration were attempting to set the record straight by telling reporters that it was not Vice President Cheney who sent Wilson on the Africa assignment as Wilson claimed; rather Wilson’s wife, a CIA employee, helped get him the assignment. (And that is indeed the conclusion of the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee.)

Corn’s article then goes on to provide specific details about Plame’s undercover work, her “dicey and difficult mission of tracking parties trying to buy or sell weapons of mass destruction or WMD material.” But how does Corn know about that? From what source could he have learned it?

Corn concludes that Plame’s career “has been destroyed by the Bush administration.” And here he does, finally, quote Wilson directly. Wilson says: “Naming her this way would have compromised every operation, every relationship, every network with which she had been associated in her entire career. This is the stuff of Kim Philby and Aldrich Ames.”

Corn has assured us several times that Wilson refused to answer questions about his wife, refused to confirm or deny that she worked for the CIA, refused to “acknowledge whether she is a deep-cover CIA employee.” But he is willing to say on the record that “naming her this way” was an act of treachery? That’s not talking about his wife? That’s not providing confirmation? There is only one way to interpret this: Wilson did indeed talk about his wife, her work as a secret agent, and other matters to Corn (and perhaps others?) on a confidential basis.

If Wilson did tell Corn that his wife was an undercover agent, did he commit a crime? I don’t claim to know. But the charge that someone committed a crime by naming Plame as a covert agent was also made by Corn, apparently for the first time, in this same article. No doubt, the independent prosecutor and the grand jury will sort it out.

Criminality aside, if Wilson revealed to Corn that Plame worked as a CIA “deep-cover” operative “tracking parties trying to buy or sell” WMDs, surely that’s news.

And it is consequential: On the basis of Novak’s story alone, it is highly unlikely that anyone would have had a clue that Plame — presumably under a different name and while living in a foreign country — had been a NOC. At most, her friends in Washington would have been surprised to learn that she didn’t work where she said she worked.

But once Corn published the fact that Plame had been a “top-secret operative,” and once he quoted Wilson saying what exposing his wife would mean — and once Plame posed for Vanity Fair photographers — anyone who had ever known her in a different context and with a different identity would have been tipped off.

But they would not have been tipped by Novak — nor, based on what we know so far, by Karl Rove. Rather, it appears they would have been tipped off by Joe Wilson who, the publicly available evidence strongly suggests, leaked like a sieve to The Nation’s David Corn.

In an economic sense, Nazism and Fascism are related. Nazism may be considered a subset of Fascism, with all Nazis being Fascists, but not all Fascists being Nazis.

( This next part is where this "Lieberal" draws intelligent parallels to the current Bush version of Fascism)

Nazism shares many economic features with Fascism, featuring complete government control of finance and investment (allocation of credit), (Read; Greenspan so far up Bush's arse, he can blow the fuckers nose!) ....... industry, and agriculture. Yet in both of these systems, corporate power and market based systems for providing price information still existed.

Quoting Benito Mussolini: "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism, because it is a merger of State and corporate power." (OMG! - "a merger of State and corporate power."!? Are you serious!? Identical to what the current Bush regime' has fashioned!)

Rather than the State requiring goods from industrial enterprises and allocating raw materials required for their production (as in socialist / communist systems), the State paid for these goods. This allows price to play an essential role in providing information as to relative scarcity of materials, (Why do you think Oil will hit $70 a barrel soon!? Bush is practically a Saudi Oil partner.)

.............or the capital requirements in technology or labor (including education, as in skilled labor) inputs to produce a manufactured good. Additionally, the unionist (strictly speaking, syndicalist) veneer placed on corporate labor relations was another major point of agreement. Both the German and Italian fascist political parties began as unionist labor movements, and grew into totalitarian dictatorships. This idea was maintained throughout their time in power, with state control used as a means to eliminate the assumed conflict between management labor relations.(see- Bush's propensity for easy corporate bailouts of union employee fringe benefits. Such as we've seen from Bush's lean towards the Airlines defaulting on all kinds of retirement notes)[/b]

Yesterday the President furiously backpedaled from his promise to fire anyone involved in leaking the identity of a covert CIA agent to the press. Now that it's known that Rove and Vice President Cheney's Chief of Staff Lewis Libby were involved, the President has lowered the bar and now says he'll only fire someone who is convicted of a crime. :roll:

President Bush is setting a terrible standard of leadership in the White House by protecting insubordinate aides who refused to come forward when the President demanded to know who in his administration leaked Valerie Plame's identity -- and he's sending a disturbing message about our national security.

The President should not wait to find out whether Rove is convicted in the end for his leak. Either Rove lied to the President about this matter of national security, which means he should be fired immediately, or the President is not being straight with the American people about his own involvement in this case.

HMMMMMMMmmmm.....................................

Your turn, Doc.!
:wink:

You still defend this guy, don't you.

Pitiful.

[Rushville]

Meanwhile, in the only meaningful part of the situation, what Wilson found when he went to Niger was that Saddam Hussein was actually trying to buy enriched uranium. But nevermind that, because Carl Rove said somebody's name.

[Rushville]

What also kills me about this situation is that the dems are so anxious to get rid of the guy who orchestrated the world-wind Social Security tour as well as the complete lack of effort to get control of illegal immigration and to secure the Mexican border. If Bush fires him, he may well just bring in someone who could actually get things going in the right direction again. It seems to me the dems would want to keep a guy around who continues to make the President look bad.

Now that it's known that Rove and Vice President Cheney's Chief of Staff Lewis Libby were involved, the President has lowered the bar and now says he'll only fire someone who is convicted of a crime.

So...like NPR, you're simply going to lie about what the President said in 2003??

You remember that, right? When President Bush indicated that he would fire anyone involved with illegally leaking the name of a CIA agent...

That is what he stated then and restating it now does not change that simple fact.

Now, what you, NPR, NYT, and others are attempting to perp here is that Bush seemingly lowered the bar in June 2004 when responding to a question by a reporter who inaccurately restated Bush's promise to fire someone. Wrong. A misleading question that inserts a false premise into a question asking if the President stands by his original assertion doesn't change what he initially stated in 2003.

President Bush is setting a terrible standard of leadership in the White House by protecting insubordinate aides who refused to come forward when the President demanded to know who in his administration leaked Valerie Plame's identity -- and he's sending a disturbing message about our national security.

Actually, the administration has been completely cooperative. Rove testified three times. The only people not cooperating are Judith Miller and the NY Times who are obstructing justice.

The President should not wait to find out whether Rove is convicted in the end for his leak. Either Rove lied to the President about this matter of national security, which means he should be fired immediately, or the President is not being straight with the American people about his own involvement in this case.

1) This is not a national security matter.
2) Rove didn't leak the name. Rove was told by journalists who Plame was.
3) Rove didn't retail Plame's name, but merely responded to a point made by a reporter, i.e., it's not a "leak" in the first place.

Oh, and now you people are going to claim that Bush leaked the name?

No need for me to defend Rove. The story is done. It is going nowhere.

It was a manufactured story in the first place.
