Valerie Plame is doing the talk show and liberal news show rounds, pitching her new book. Why don't the victims of sHrillery's misuse of FBI files get a "lotto" payoff? Why are the same people who went berserk about the outing of a liberal and democratic activist, from her admin job in the CIA, the same people who apologized for Hillary's wrong doing, stealing FBI file on political opponents.
Why is Packwood bad and Clinton good?
Why are whistle blowers on dems (Paula Jones, Linda Tripp) bad while John Dean the "blow boy" a hero?
Do you see a consistent pattern here?

The Plame outing had consequences that should never have happened. She had been off covert ops for several years by the time this happened & yes, while it is possible that foreign contacts & intelligence could have been jeopardized, it was far more likely that her 'dear hubby' would have ruined more work during his Ambassador days & while on his 'mission' to locate the WMD materials. Now if that mission wasn't a crock, then I don't know what was.
But anyway - neither Bill or Hillary will EVER be held accountable for what they've done. Both have too many layers of protection built around them & too many underlings to take the fall.
& yes, there is a pattern but it goes far deeper than just the Clintons & recent times. The pattern goes all the way back to FDR & Papa Kennedy.

It's amazing that the person that wrote the law covering the "outing of covert operatives" said that Ms. Plame's duties at the CIA didn't fall under the status of "covert". Second, if she was a covert operative, why wasn't Armatige prosecuted. And third, why did Fitzgerald continue the investigation when he KNEW withing the first month of the investigation that it was Armatige that had leaked the information to Novak and Woodward. Novak reported that he had told Fitzgerald at the beginning of the investigation that it was Armatige that had leaked him the information. BTW, if you're so concerned about government leaks, where is your outrage about all the secret government operations during the war against terrorists? Where is your outrage about the leaks on how we were gathering intelligence on terrorists by taping THEIR phone conversations? Your indignation about this seems a bit hollow.

Liberals are anointed to be in charge of society. They are smarter than the rest of us, and their motives are pure. Since money is the root of all evil, liberals only need to denounce the profit motive and label anyone who wants to keep their own money as being "greedy". Anyone who is greedy should have their money taken from them by government, so the liberals can then spend it on whatever they deem appropriate.
Liberals aren't hypocrites. Anything that makes a liberal look good should be repeated over and over again in the news. Anything, no matter how minor, that makes a conservative look bad should be repeated over and over again in the news. Since there is never any bad things to report about liberals, it means liberals are perfect.

Oh yeah!! double standards is their middle name. What gets me is Valerie was not under cover, covert anyway, just typical trash talk before an election to get their buddies elected. Her Husband was the one who leaked her name in the first place. If Hillary and Bill were charged with all their crimes, they would be in prison for the next thousand years.

I see Valerie Plame doing the circuit to make money, but in
the instance of Hillary, she took her cue from Sandy Burglar.

Because the outing of Plame violated federal laws. Specifically, federal laws that made such an action punishable by prison time -- which is the legal definition of a crime.
The use (or misuse) of FBI files by Clinton -- what federal laws do you think she violated?
John Dean is a good guy, because he does things that are logical, and based on a solid understanding of the law.
As for anyone else -- good or bad is subjective -- legal or illegal is specific -- and what laws do you think were broken? Cite them, please, so that we can actually evaluate what the law requires and prohibits, and compare that to known actions. That's how you know if laws have been broken.

Robert M: Better question would be to ask what did she do just prior to and during the 06 elections?

Sure, they've always been like this. Plame was doing the Georgetown circuit when she was "outed."

You won't get a decent answer/explanation for this question from a Billary supporter.
