Washington Post--

"A bipartisan investigation by the Senate intelligence committee subsequently established that all of these claims were false -- and that Mr. Wilson was recommended for the Niger trip by Ms. Plame, his wife. When this fact, along with Ms. Plame's name, was disclosed in a column by Robert D. Novak, Mr. Wilson advanced yet another sensational charge: that his wife was a covert CIA operative and that senior White House officials had orchestrated the leak of her name to destroy her career and thus punish Mr. Wilson.

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."

The last time Hillary and company were in the White House, they wiped it clean.

Everything that wasn't chained down was taken.

Silverware....Gone.
Furniture.......Gone.
Pictures........Gone.
Articles that been there for 200 years....Gone.

What say you?

In my opinion, she is more conservative than Bush.

Maybe she is returning to her conservative Republican roots.

If you could make up any type of case what would it be. Like a law thing where it involves lawyers and court. What can you come up with. Use details.

Yes most people realize that our military can defeat anyone, especially given time. But we are nearly broke as a country, we simply don't have the cash to patrol the world and have bases in 130 countries, we are going to have to cut back and just have a few bases and a strong Navy and Air force but they too will have to sit idle more to save money. I hear people say cut Social Security, but people have paid for that and many count on it for retirement and they did pay in, so its going to have to be the military, besides alot of these countries can pay for their own defense or pay us to defend them, maybe we could do military protection for a profit.

Long story short is that I work for a fortune 100 company, actually I think it is a fortune 5 company. I am supposed to get paid my commission at the end of every month. Well for the check I am supposed to get 11/30 they are saying we arent getting it until 12/14 because they made an accouting error or something.

Is that legal? I had plans for that $6,000

Their is a current theroy that the first humans to inhabit America were in fact from Europe and came here over 9000 years ago. This theroy is being taking very serious and is challanging how we thought humans developed in North and South America.

I just got through reading "Yankee Commentary" from some guy's web site, here in Answers. Once again, people like that prove that idiocy and stupidity exist here in USA. Basically, it's an extreme right-wing Rep online paper.
They bad-mouth Dems or any libs in general, calling them "un-American". The Reps, on the other hand, are
shown as godly, ultra-patriotic, God-fearing, loyal Americans.
They call Karl Rove a "great American". In one article, the title is, " The Proud History of the Republican Party". They paint libs (either all or most libs, I guess), as Commies.
They quote Bible verses. They throw labels, such as "liberal" and conservative", around.

Well, you get the idea.

This is a very dangerous online paper. They have the right to have their "paper" and to put it on the web, that's fine.
But we Dems (I am a lib. to mod. Dem.), have the
right to ignore it. I'd advise anyone to ignore it.

So, once again, the right-wing Reps are showing their
true colors.

Do counter intelligence agencies of foreign countries track down every place and person the covert agent met with during their trips abroad as was the case with Valerie Plame with the CIA front company she was given for her cover?

You might notice that it takes a nosedive under the two Bush presidents (especially the second Bush), but when Clinton was in office it was actually a budget surplus.
Also take note of the source at the bottom of the chart : Congressional Budget Office.
