The wheels are officially off the Bush Administration's wagon. The web of lies and deceit is finally being revealed.

you mean like john Edwards?

Clinton- lied about a hummer from a fat chick.
Libby- lied about leaking the identity of a CIA operative's name as part of a White House campaign to discredit a family member who was a critic of the case made to go to war.
-
clinton lied about having sex with a women.
libby lied about who told him that wilsons wife worked for the CIA.
keep the facts straight, wilsons wife was not a secret agent.
-
So it's OK to lie about some things. Because it's not the lying that is wrong.
Gotcha.
-
holy crap, i'm dizzy.
-
sooooo... Libby's not guilty cause Clinton should have been?
Another "yea-but" thread.
-
I hope he goes to jail and takes his boss with him.
Bringing up clinton in this thread is pretty silly. Both lied, both were wrong.

From Fitz...
Valerie Wilson was a CIA officer. In July 2003, the fact that Valerie Wilson was a CIA officer was classified. Not only was it classified, but it was not widely known outside the intelligence community.
Valerie Wilson's friends, neighbors, college classmates had no idea she had another life.
The fact that she was a CIA officer was not well-known, for her protection or for the benefit of all us. It's important that a CIA officer's identity be protected, that it be protected not just for the officer, but for the nation's security.
Them's the facts!
-
from fitz, " no crime was commited in giving out Valerie Wilson's name"

You mean she wasn't a NOC. That's correct, but she was still a covert agent. Disclosing information about a covert agent is still a crime.
Just to keep facts straight.

This pretty much summarizes it.

i used to be a NOC dude
sun servers, cisco routers
me & about 90000 other d00ds
and maybe 3 or 4 chicks
-
she had been working a desk at the CIA HQ for 6 years after she left Africa, the time limit for disclosure of a agents name is 5 years.
her cover was not blown , there was no cover to blow, what was "leaked" was that wilsons wife worked at the CIA.

She wasn't a NOC when her name was leaked, but she was still a covert employee.

No it isn't. Here, I did the research for you. You're welcome.
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/casecode/uscodes/50/chapters/15/subchapters/iv/sections/section_426.html
- United States Code
- TITLE 50 - WAR AND NATIONAL DEFENSE
- CHAPTER 15 - NATIONAL SECURITY
- SUBCHAPTER IV - PROTECTION OF CERTAIN NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION
(4) The term "covert agent" means -
(A) a present or retired officer or employee of an
intelligence agency or a present or retired member of the Armed
Forces assigned to duty with an intelligence agency -
(i) whose identity as such an officer, employee, or member is classified information, and
(ii) who is serving outside the United States or has within the last five years served outside the United States;

He wasn't convicted for outing a CIA agent. He was convicted for lying to the FBI.
What Plume is/was at the time means nothing.
It sounds like he could have come out and been honest in the beginning and very possibly gotten off since he wasn’t charged for outing her.
-
He was not indicted for outing plame
They did not try to prosecute him for outing plame
He was not convicted for outing plame
He was not found guilty of outing plam
Those are undeniable facts about this case.
lets not confuse this with some big conspiracy by the Bush administration.
This does sound oh so familar, once again the federal govt spent millions of tax dollars, years, and man hours to convict somone of not telling the truth.
-

Reactions. All short. And a prelude of what will come.
Enough in there to satisfy the political spectrum.
Looks like Real Clear took a cross section.

Telling the truth in government is extremely important as it removes any sort of check on the system. This is why Clinton should have been thrown out. This is why GWB should be thrown out (for lying about Iraq among many things).

oh here we go!
Elaborate your claims....that's usually done with some type of viable source.

Think GWB will pardon Libby?
-
Guns, that was the root of this whole thing. Lying about the yellow cake Saddam was going to make WMD with and the coverup that followed when Wilson started digging for the truth.
Forbes (http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2007/03/06/ap3490365.html) has a good article on it.

Absolutely... With appeals, Libby will never see jail time before Bush pardons him at the end of his term... Count on it.

He "got caught" with a couple more chicks than Monica.
Libby is the scapegoat. If he were to "testify against Cheney", he'd wind up dead on a park bench. $20 says he doesn't do a year in a country club.

I'd agree with that. Still, he chose his friends, didn't he? He chose to fall on the grenade. He better be ready to do time, 'cause I for one don't think he's gonna walk. The party needs a sacrificial lamb just about now, and he'll do just fine.

He had NO CHOICE as far as I see it.

GWB never lied about that.
I don't see how this is "good" when it includes this drivil:
"it was Vice President Cheney who was on trial today and who has the responsibility for what Libby did. The vice president has a personal and moral responsibility to take responsibility for what Mr. Libby did at his instruction - and to apologize to Valerie Plame."
-
YAY!!! Guilty :aok
-
There have been 42 posts in this thread, and not ONE of them mentions that Richard Armitage, the #2 in the State Dept under Colin Powell, first put Plame's name into the press, NOT Libby, and Fitzgerald knew this back in 2003. Libby has been convicted of lying to the Grand Jury, but it's hard to understand what his motive would have been.
(The same State dept that has actively fought the administration for the whole 6 years, as they will be there long after Bush is gone)

And the wheels in Washington keep turning, turning, turning...

I love how this obsctruction case somehow turns into bigger...which it aint.

As I said in the other thread...Armitage is a card carrying member of PNAC along with Jeb Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfwitz etc. He wasn't any kind of outsider.

Yes, they DID lie about it and tried to cover it up.
I don't see that as drivel. It's a pretty accurate assessment. You don't think Scooter was a scapegoat for Cheney?

I actually hope it dies down.
Going back to Jim Wright and John Tower, paybacks extract too heavy a toll.
Paybacks have had a hand in some matters political for a long spell -- long before Clinton, the Supremes in 2000, and this. And don't jump on that and make it into more than it is. Getting even plays a part. Sometimes a small part especially when the other side can't find home plate.
It's pity we are what we are and the way we are.
I'm fall on the side of truth and mercy. They work hand in hand. Not popular, and they ever have been.
I expect there were paybacks behind the scenes prior to my birth, 1957. Wilson, Hoover, FDR, Truman over Dewey then Mc Carthy. I'm not saying its that straight forward or connecting all the dots makes it simple.
One of the seemy sides of human nature, that's all.
FWIW, look at Federalist #1, you can see Hamilton alluding to it in the beginning no doubt hoping against hope to cool the kettle.
All the Best,

p.s. And rpm is right. Fessing up is always a novel approach.

So you're saying Powell and Armitage were both Bush lackey's?
-
Lets see... and this is just my opinion;
One side was wrong to use Libby as a scapegoat, even if he will be pardoned and will never see the inside of a jail cell. People want to see someone declared guilty, even if it isn't for the crime of releasing the identity of an operative.
The other side should of sent an open minded operative without preconceived notions, who also had a good background into nuclear engineering, and a little less well known to Niger instead of Joseph Wilson.
Again, partisan politics... disgusting at best.

What kind of proof do you have that they lied?
Nothing other than the typical liberal BS mantra. "Bush lied!"
I have seen no proof EVER that Bush or Cheney lied about anything.
All I've seen is a bunch of Libs wanting it to be true and thinking if they say it enough people will actually believe it.
-
Gee......someone holding a public office actualy lied?
How totaly shocking.

Scapegoat for what?
If there was a crime, why isn't anyone being charged with one? If "outing" Plame was a crime, why aren't charges being brough against Richard Armitage...the guy who leaked the name to the press first?

Cmon RPM, your a smart guy. This is BDS at it's best. Bush never lied about the Iraq and Niger connection. It was weak but true.

Well, I think we're past being "charged" with a crime. 4 Felonies is a descent start on your rap sheet I guess.
And Gun, of course to "lie" one has to know the truth then wilfully supress it.
Watch Frontlines "The Dark Side" and tell me if you think knowing deception at worst &/or "don't tell me don't tell me" so I can't get accused of lying at best didn't play a part.
I reposted a link to "The Dark Side" yesterday in a thread by that title.
All the Best,
