Did Valerie Plame Lie?
"If the Democratic controlled Congress is so hot to process a crime that has not been committed by trying to solicit perjury, why don't they go ahead and prosecute the one that has been committed by Valerie Plame, who has now been caught lying to the US Senate as revealed by her recent house testimony?" This is an interesting question. The first answer I'd offer is that it's Democrats that run the committees. Christopher Bond, senator from Missouri, is a member of the Senate intelligence committee. He said (paraphrased), "You know, we never heard anything about this junior underling that, phone call from Cheney's office, and somebody else walking by suggesting Valerie Plame's husband." There's a letter. Christopher Hitchens mentioned it. There's a letter you can get that shows that Valerie Plame suggested her husband to go on that trip to Niger. It's up to Democrats to do this. They run the House and the Senate, and I don't think there's going to be any interest on the part of Democrats to process Valerie Plame or put her through any kind of a perjury claim. You never know. The justice department is not going to do anything. It's partisan politics. It's the way it is. You have somebody who has told two different stories before two different committees (Gasp!) and nothing's done, and then you got eight people haven't done anything wrong. Rove has not lied, and he's going to be subpoenaed for the purposes of trying to trick 'em into perjury. There's no question.
