Guess Bush lied.. as if it was very hard to figure that out..
-
I read the aritcle. why don't you tell me what he lied about, because it doesn't say he lied about anything.
-
Hmm, this can't be good...

His statement does not make any sense. The leak came from elsewhere as has been well established. Do you guys drink whatever koolaid is put before you?

Doesn't mean what he was saying isn't true. Just means that he decided to sit on it until he could make money off it.
-
Scott McClellan is trying to sell a book, next stop, oprah show.
-
Of course he lied.
You have to have something in you book to get people to buy it.:rofl

the one thing about this case that has always bugged me is this: Why would so much effort and potential harm be invested in "outing" plame? I mean, of all the people in government, who gives a rats bellybutton about this one particular employee. As far as I can tell, she and her husband were tiny little insignificant cogs in the vast unethical washington political machine.
The only other comment I can make is that: she and her husband obviously were political shrills of the democratic power base in washington but still, very insiginicant people as far as I can tell. I would not have invested so much potential loss in outing either of them. Some one know why they were so important as to risk all this? or was it just a vile political assassination put forth by a vice president with nothing better to do?
-
Like this is the first time Bush has been named in this. :rolleyes:
-
ofcourse he did it. it was right after he finished planning to destroy that bridge in what was it? wisconsin? Oh and after he sold us out to the martians.
-
this is about blowing the cover of some ho who wasn't even under cover?
no witch hunt here
LOL

According to Plame herself, she was indeed undercover working on the WMD in Iraq. She was a covert operative, not a secretary or a "ho". If she was not working on classified stuff, why did the CIA censor 80% of her book describing her duties as classified?
-
she was a analyst working at CIA HQ, and if she a secret agent how do you know what she was working on?

Proudly obtuse! (shakes head)
I doubt either of you even knew she existed before the Bush administration set in motion the events that made ... front ... page .... news. ;)

Yeah. Your agent identity code will be T.A.R.D. 007. ;)
-
oh great one arlo, posting publicly? might as well go tell all the terrorists his agent id code and current location....duh...in-cog-ni-to
-
Novak did not name her, he only said that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA, it was Wilson who "outed" his own wife by naming her.

I guess, by that logic, if I tell everyone that your wife's husband is an idiot I'm not revealing anything derogatory about you? :)
-
John, this may come as a shock to you, but she has done interviews. How many have you watched or read before forming your opinion?

NYT Source (http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/11/21/ex-aides-book-may-clear-bush-in-cia-leak/?hp) When we wrote about this yesterday, that was clearly one of the possible outcomes, although one that will disappoint opponents of the president who were hoping for him to be directly tied to one of the biggest scandals of his administration.
“Sorry, suckers,” Greg Sargent wrote at The Horse’s Mouth, “It looks like McClellan will actually exonerate Bush for his role in Plamegate.”
One should at least let the smoke clear before jumping to forgone conclusions.

The hardliners on the right are renowned for their goonsmanship tactics.
And they got caught.
Bush is, in any event, a lame duck... quack thump quack thump quack thump; and has been poorly advised from the beginning, imv... some of which may have set in motion a watergate-esque cover-up on his part... if so, what a screw-up to tack onto his already tarnished legacy.
Poor guy, if only he had enough self-confidence and leadership abilities to do his own thinking instead of listening to the whisperers.
I seriously feel sorry for Bush.
