Other CIA sources told CNN on Monday that Plame was an operative who ran agents in the field. ... The Justice Department, at the CIA's request, is investigating whether anyone in the administration broke the law by leaking Plame's name.
Apparently the CIA is pissed and asked the Justice department to investigate. Why would they make a big deal if she was just an analyst? I don't give a shit who leaked it and I agree with referring to Novak as "asshole "Crossfire" stooge". An investigation should uncover the leak. I'll put $10 on lieing bastards in the White House as the source of the leak. Karl Rove or not, it still smells like the shit the administration would shovel. Madman, I accept payments at paypal to aero_steve@yahoo.com if you want to take me up on it.
Wilson was the Ambassador to Iraq from '88-'91 under Bush Sr. and a career diplomat since '76, so your claim that he is a Clintonite lacks credibility. He was praised by Bush Sr. for negotiating the release of American hostages taken by Iraq in the first Gulf War. Now he's pissed off the current administration and they are doing anything to discredit him. He looks like a good guy being smeared by the assholes in charge.
A CNN story. Well everything they say must be true right?
Wilson was a State Dept. employee for many years. However Clinton made him a policy advisor on Africa for the National Security Council. That makes him a Clintonite. The Bush admin is having numerous problems with all the Clintonites left in high positions. I've said it a million times. Bush should have cleaned house and hand picked everyone. Clinton did.
This whole thing started by Wilson getting pissed at the administration for Bush's remark in the State of the Union speech regarding British intelligence finding evidence that Iraq may have purchased uranium from Niger. He was sent to Niger earlier to check this out and claimed he found no evidence. He also got in trouble with the administration for not revealing forged documents relating to this issue. He also claims he never submitted a writtten report on his mission to Niger. WTF? A mission to Niger and there is no written report. Sounds like bullshit. This became an ego problem for Wilson and during the summer he started bitching about it on TV shows. He also wrote this Op-Ed peice in the NY Times:
The guy probably fucked up and he thought the Bush admin was making him look bad.
The Democrats have picked up on this and are using it as an issue to thier advantage. I find it curious the Democrats who are crying the loudest about this issue like Chuck Schumer are the same Democrats who voted against the law protecting agents in the field when he was a congressman. The same Democrats who hobbled our CIA.
Novak never mentioned in his article that anyone in the White House was his source. He said "Two senior administration officials". That could be any number of people in numerous agencies. Novak even says it was no one in the White House. It's most likely an intelligence figure who does not like Wilson. It could be George Tenet himself. Who knows. Tenet is a Clintonite and Bush should have fired that guy on day one. At least on Sept. 12, 2001.
