What the mainstream media tells the court ... but won’t tell you.
~snip~
"Have you heard that the CIA is actually the source responsible for exposing Plame's covert status? Not Karl Rove, not Bob Novak, not the sinister administration cabal du jour of Fourth Estate fantasy, but the CIA itself? Had you heard that Plame's cover has actually been blown for a decade — i.e., since about seven years before Novak ever wrote a syllable about her? Had you heard not only that no crime was committed in the communication of information between Bush administration officials and Novak, but that no crime could have been committed because the governing law gives a person a complete defense if an agent's status has already been compromised by the government?"
~snip~
"You see, if you really want to know what the media think of the Plame case — if you want to discover what a comparative trifle they actually believe it to be — you need to close the paper and turn off the TV. You need, instead, to have a peek at what they write when they're talking to a court. It's a mind-bendingly different tale."

Thanks for that Tanya-
This is just what
I've been saying all along in other threads. No big deal to the CIA, and will turn out to be a bunch of overblown crap.
Quote: | And could the possibility that Plame's cover has long been blown explain why the CIA was unconcerned about assigning a one-time covert agent to a job that had her walking in and out of CIA headquarters every day? Could it explain why the Wilsons were sufficiently indiscrete to pose in Vanity Fair, and, indeed, to permit Joseph Wilson to pen a highly public op-ed regarding a sensitive mission to which his wife — the covert agent — energetically advocated his assignment? Did they fail to take commonsense precautions because they knew there really was nothing left to protect? |

On some radio show I heard, the host said that Valerie donated money to Gore's campaign and on the documents she was supposed to fill out, she listed herself as CIA. So how can you "out" somebody who already outed themselves?
Wilson also donated money to Kerry for his campaign.
This is why I don't put any stock in this story, it is just so stupid to me. |

This is a concise statement that reduces the controversy to one simple- common sense question. Problem is that liberal left wingers like Nancy Pelosi simply drown out such questions with a barrage of wild-eyed talking points designed to trash the Administration.
