Valerie Plame leaker identified
Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage has admitted he was the one who leaked the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame (Wilson).
Armitage said he inadvertently revealed Plame’s job to syndicated columnist Robert Novak in July 2003. Quote:
It was not Rove, Libby, Cheney or the President. Fitgerald's knowledge and silence regarding the truth IMO gives considerable proof that the "investigation" was just political manuvering and not the investigation that it was supposed to be. You can call it "Patrick Fitgerald's publicly funded Witchunt". [Yawn] Another liberal conspiracy theory appropriately flushed away as deserved. Years of "investigation" efforts when Fitzgerald knew the truth. I wonder how many tax dollars went down the flusher on this.. Consequently, Joseph C. Wilson 4th and Valerie Plame Wilson's lawsuit against Rove, Libbby and Cheney will probably go the way of the flusher as well. [Insert Laugh track here] Conspiracy is still a probable issue, but it's now a question of whether or not Fitzgerald and others consipred to falsely implicate Rove, Libby, Cheney, or the President. LOL, let's see what happens now. The sideshow just got somewhat more entertaining. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14723718/ LOL, give a flame for Plame, I don't care.

Hmmm, a war critic in charge of an operation supporting war. How strange that the operation did poorly.

The original leak was made by Richard Armitage to syndicated columnist Robert Novak. Novak’s column, published in a number of places 07/14/2003 is what publicly disclosed Valerie Plame Wilson’s identity as a CIA operative. It was this public disclosure that prompted Joseph C. Wilson IV to make allegations that the White House had purposefully leaked his wife’s CIA employment for punitive measures against his criticism of the invasion of Iraq. The Wilson’s primarily blamed Rove, Libby, and Cheney - naming them in a lawsuit. Joseph and Valerie Wilson were wrong. From Joseph and Valerie Wilson’s preliminary statement in their lawsuit against Libby, Rove and Cheney: Quote:
It's 23 pages, slightly larger than 4 MB. What is even far worse is that Armitage told Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald he was Robert Novak’s source early in the “investigation”. Yet, this revelation was never disclosed and the “investigation” continued as if this information was unknown. It seems clear that the “investigation” into the leak has been clearly demonstrated to be something other than the thorough and impartial investigation it was supposed to be. I’m speculating of course, but it seems clear that the “investigation” was simply the continuation of an effort to fabricate wrongdoing by Rove, Libby, Cheney, and the President. The smear campaign didn’t work, Fitzgerald and the Wilson's have been caught in a gigantic lie. Too bad we can’t send Fitzgerald and the Wilson's to Singapore for an ass caning.

NOVAK: ARMITAGE DID NOT TELL ALL
Wed Sep 13 2006 08:37:07 ET "When Richard Armitage finally acknowledged last week he was my source three years ago in revealing Valerie Plame Wilson as a CIA employee, the former deputy secretary of state's interviews obscured what he really did," Bob Novak claims in a column set for Thursday release. Novak, attempting to set the record straight, writes: "First, Armitage did not, as he now indicates, merely pass on something he had heard and that he 'thought' might be so. Rather, he identified to me the CIA division where Mrs. Wilson worked, and said flatly that she recommended the mission to Niger by her husband, former Amb. Joseph Wilson. Second, Armitage did not slip me this information as idle chitchat, as he now suggests. He made clear he considered it especially suited for my column." Novak slams Armitage for holding back all this time. Armitage's silence for "two and one-half years caused intense pain for his colleagues in government and enabled partisan Democrats in Congress to falsely accuse Rove of being my primary source," Novak explains. "When Armitage now says he was mute because of special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's request, that does not explain his silent three months between his claimed first realization that he was the source and Fitzgerald's appointment on Dec. 30. Armitage's tardy self-disclosure is tainted because it is deceptive."

This thing has the potential of rapidly expanding into a massive and revealing scandal of unprecedented proportions. It appears the Plame matter can now be legally proven to be a purposeful attempt by the left to undermine the U. S. Government for political and personal gain. The government should sock it to them big time.

why bother anymore Drak.....sad, but it seems reading between the lines and connecting the dots can only implicate, not exonerate the Bush inner circle. never mind keeping an eye on the ball, some refuse to even admit the ball exists.

Ain't politics grand!!??
Stop, Thief! No Right To Privacy From Snooping Democrats By Dan McLaughlin So, it turns out that a liberal blogger hacked into a password-protected section of Minnesota GOP Senate candidate Mark Kennedy's website to get an unauthorized peek at Kennedy's campaign ads before they ran. The blogger - a Democratic consultant - apparently did this illegally, and Democratic candidate Amy Klobuchar has now fired her chief spokeswoman, who viewed the purloined ads. This follows on the heels of California Democrat Phil Angelides' campaign admission that it accessed a taped conversation that was password protected on a Web site operated by Governor Schwarzenegger's campaign. Technology has sure come a long way since the days when John Kerry's brother broke into the basement of an opponent's headquarters. Now, the Minnesota Democrat's defense is to claim that Kennedy's website was too vulnerable to snoopers like him. You may remember a case a few years back when the shoe was on the other foot, and Democrats embarrassed by highly damaging internal Judiciary Committee memos (showing them taking direction on judicial nominees from far-left interest groups, targeting one nominee because he was Latino and stalling another at the request of participants in a pending case) demanded an investigation of a GOP staffer who snooped on their files. So, for all those who were outraged by that story or thought it worthy of media attention, here's your chance to denounce Klobuchar and Angelides: Paging Walter Pincus and the Washington Post. Paging Michael Crowley and the New Republic. Paging Josh Marshall. Paging Media Matters. Paging Kevin Drum. Paging Dahlia Lithwick and Slate. Paging Armando. (And this Kos diarist and this one too). Paging The Carpetbagger Report. Paging Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. Well, you get the idea.

They say he 'could' get 25 years.
I bet the lying govm'nt worker gets less than 3 years and that will be with a bracelet on his ankle, living at his home with secret service guards kissing his stanky arse.

She used to be (Valerie) CIA's Iran eyes and ears about their nuke/WMD's program.
Quite ironic she was "leaked" in favor of other middle east informants. Anyone, take a wild guess on whom we now rely on Iran inside intel? |

Did anyone else notice those huge ass knives sticking out of his back as he was leaving the courtroom?
Next big news story: Cheney resigns. It just a question of when now. |

Libby doesn't have enough money to pull off faking his own death to avoid prison.

He will receive a presidential pardon and not spend a second in prison.
