Are liberals still trying to defend the proven liar Valerie Plame?

Question

and her lying husband?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A39834-2004Jul9.html

Wilson's assertions -- both about what he found in Niger and what the Bush administration did with the information -- were undermined yesterday in a bipartisan Senate intelligence committee report.

The panel found that Wilson's report, rather than debunking intelligence about purported uranium sales to Iraq, as he has said, bolstered the case for most intelligence analysts. And contrary to Wilson's assertions and even the government's previous statements, the CIA did not tell the White House it had qualms about the reliability of the Africa intelligence that made its way into 16 fateful words in President Bush's January 2003 State of the Union address.

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.

Yet after two years of investigation, Mr. Fitzgerald charged no one with a crime for leaking Ms. Plame's name. In fact, he learned early on that Mr. Novak's primary source was former deputy secretary of state Richard L. Armitage, an unlikely tool of the White House. The trial has provided convincing evidence that there was no conspiracy to punish Mr. Wilson by leaking Ms. Plame's identity -- and no evidence that she was, in fact, covert.

Answer 1

LOL....yeah.....they are becoming quite ridiculous with their lies and the support of them.

Answer 2

I try to be neutral in this, but you obviously are not asking a question, but trying to prove a point.

First, you are trying to debunk Valerie Plame and the only evidence you give is about her husband.

As in much of life, it is pretty grey. I do not doubt that Wilson and Plame really are trying to damage the White House, but that they are also feel truly aggrieved.

I think what the White House did was not exactly above board. They do what all politicians do- ad hominim attacks. (on both sides they do this). They shouldn't have done that with a CIA agent.

Answer 3

This has long ago been discredited. The Congress was controlled by the Republicans at the time. The Republican Congress was involved in the cover-up to protect the VP and the President from impeachment for their crimes against the nation.

Plame and the associate at the CIA who actually suggested Wilson go on the mission (Wilson having gone on a previous mission for the CIA) wanted to set the record straight by having the associate who actually suggested Wilson testify before Congress. The Republicans refused. Setting the record straight, you see, means that the truth would come out and the cover-up to protect the Bush administration's treasonous activities would be blown.

The Washington Post's Editorial department long ago lost their credibility. They're trying to rewrite history. For whom they are dissembling remains a mystery.

[ One of those pieces was of particular interest to the vice president's office: an intelligence report saying Iraq was buying 500 tons of uranium ore -- which can be used to build nuclear weapons -- from the African nation of Niger. It was a report that later turned out to be based on forged documents.

In early 2002, Plame Wilson says an officer from her task force got a call from one of Dick Cheney's staffers, asking the CIA to look into the allegation. ] 1

Don't you see??? The VP wanted the info, then when it came back negative, he didn't want the info and denied ever seeing it. Former European CIA Chief Drumheller has explained that the policy was "set" and it was no longer about "intel" but about going to war.

[But he says he was taken aback by what happened. "The group that was dealing with preparation for the Iraq war came back and said they're no longer interested," Drumheller recalls. "And we said, 'Well, what about the intel?' And they said, 'Well, this isn't about intel anymore. This is about regime change.'" ] 2

President Bush and Vice-President Cheney deceived our nation into war. Over 3,834 Americans are dead, over 28,000 wounded and a figure approaching three-quarters of a trillion taxpayer dollars have been squandered on a nation that is not The United States.
This is the highest Presidential crime in U.S. history.

Answer 4

No, Republicans are still defending Treason.
The outing of a covert CIA agent is treason, no matter how you pathetically try to spin it. According to CIA Director Hayden, “Ms. Wilson was covert.”

Answer 5

Good hatchling.

Utilize discredited information and editorials to make your point and hope no one notices.

If anyone does, ignore them, and keep repeating the same inane argument cultivated in the great void that is the group hatchling mind.

You are trying to ignore me now, aren't you hatchling? You have knelt down on your bankie and you have begun chanting,"what would RonnieGod do?"

With your eyes closed you are searching for the remote to channel elevated hatchling Hannity or O'Rally.

You are safe in the basket all hatchlings are laid in, safe in the knowledge that RonnieGod will soon return.

Answer 6

Your article is from 2004.
Plame and Wilson are telling the truth and it has been proven.

Fitzgerald said that Libby's lies prevented the investigation from uncovering the truth about who committed the crime - not that there was not crime.

Answer 7

I don't care about Valerie Plame at all. I thought she said something like 6 months ago and then left because no one cared.

Answer 8

That article is over 3 years old and ignores subsequent revelations.

Answer 9

You must be a Politics troll. You must have known this was false and you must have wanted to agitate Liberals. Too bad, you lose.

Answer 10

Scooter Libby is the proven liar, Little Man.

Better luck next time.

Answer 11

Of course these rats will go down with the ship.
