Pls help: Stephanie Miller comment about Valerie Plame |
|
Ok, so a co-worker who was listening to the Stephanie Miller show today, said that on the show today, they said someone was killed as a result of Valerie Plame's identity being exposed. Apparently it was someone she once had contact with in her line of work.
If true, this is HUGE! Has anyone else heard this?

5. I heard the same thing on Sunday |
|
It was either on Politically Direct or Ring of Fire. I suspect it was Ring of Fire, and possibly in the long segment where they talked to Wayne Madsen. But I'm not entirely sure. I'm positive I heard it on AAR, though.

6. there are assertions that as many as 90 Plame contacts were "liquidated" |
|
t we are unclear what that word actually means when talking about assets. They are finished as sources once revealed, so that might be what was meant by liquidated. Or they could be dead. We will never know.
The simple thing to say is that her entire structure of secret contacts and her cover business, which had taken years to establish as a clean cover, is not able to be used anymore. Since that name was broadcast worldwide, anyone who may have done business with Valerie or Brewster Jennings is now at risk.
I have looked and found no confirmation of deaths, tho it seems clear that may have happened but was not reported. It was a secret. And the 90 figure has also been reported, without good confirmation IMO.
We should assume that either deaths happened or lives are deeply at risk. And Neocons who poopoo the importance of Plame's outing should be ashamed of themselves--since they SAY they are so much better at national security than Dems. This was our WMD investigative arm! but they threw it all away for petty retaliation. You could just as easily say that becasue of Plame's outing, 1755 US soldiers died--because we didn't have the right info on Iraq's WMDs, thanks to Rove.
