Joe Wilson, Husband Of Valerie Plame: Dick Cheney Is A 'Traitor'

[Turborama]

Source: Huffington Post

Joe Wilson, husband of outed CIA agent Valerie Plame, kept his criticism of ex-Vice President Dick Cheney and Cheney's former chief of staff Scooter Libby succinct and serious Wednesday, when he referred to each of them simply as "traitor."

During a discussion on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer," Wilson sat beside his wife and harshly described each of the men who were at the center of a scandal that led to the leak of Plame's identity.

"They betrayed the national security of our country," Wilson, an outspoken critic of the Iraq War and former U.S. Ambassador said. "By betraying the identity of a covert CIA operative, whose identity is kept secret because it's in the national interests that the identity be kept secret, in order for her to be able to acquire foreign secrets on behalf of our country."

Wilson also later went on to say that he didn't know if former President Bush was a traitor as well. "I don't know what he knew," Wilson said. "We were unable to get that in criminal court and were unable to get there in civil court because the Supreme Court denied us the right to go ahead pursue civil charges against him or a civil case against him."

[cutlassmama]

7. He's got one foot in the grave so I doubt he'll even respond.

2. I think the trial on Kelly's sucide /assasination

will be interesting

3. Glad to see Wilson still out there -- but imagine dangerous for him still .....

did the family actually move out of the US?

4. The Wilson family now lives in Santa Fe.

(Although some people in this country don't know that NM is part of the Union.) :-)

13. At one time they had been talking about going to some part of Africa, I believe ....

Glad to hear that they felt they could excape the threats to their family in

New Mexico -- and VERY glad to see him still speaking out.

5. Uhh, think we know that. Question is, how do we explain that to the neanderthals

that think we're the traitors?

[laconicsax]

6. What? No one lining up to defend Darth Cheney?

Oh, right...Obama isn't asking him for foreign policy advice, so he isn't a good guy yet.

[Supersedeas]

8. Dick Cheney and his ilk have a vision for what this country ought to look like, and are willing to

use forces both inside OR OUTSIDE of this country to make that vision a reality.

Their loyalty is to a Laissez-Faire capitalist IDEOLOGY not to this nation or its people.

[newspeak]

10. thank you, Joe!

It's what I have thought. Outing a network that monitors WMD--maybe to catapult more of that PNAC agenda, like another war. Then, there's the lie about the yellow cake. How much has Hallibarton made off the taxpayers? Yeah, global capitalism over the well being of the american people and country.

11. SOmeday people may die because Cheney took down this network.

All it takes is one loose nuke in the wrong hands.

9. Not One Word on MSM - Yet When Liz Cheney Opens Her

vile mouth, it's front page news.

[hughee99]

12. I thought it was determined that Richard Armitage was the actual leak?

Though Darth is a traitor for many other reasons.

[Uncle Joe]

14. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Turborama.

15. " The wheels of justice grind slowly but grind they do"

Mr. Chaney will not escape the wheels of justice.We all must go before a righteous who judge fairly,I hope Mr.Chaney,confess and repent before that day.

17. Maybe the movie will get people interested in pursuing litigation
