[southernleftylady]

i heard that she was "out" to "most" of D.C. and did a interview ..so how was rove to know she was covert

edited to correct what i heard.. not that she wrote stories but she did an interview

[htuttle]

1. Where did you hear that bullshit?

Rush?

Gonna need at least a link for a crap allegation like that.

[southernleftylady]

2. some republicans im talking to on another site nt

[SteppingRazor]

3. Ask them to cite the articles, provide Web links...

Because the fact that she wrote articles is news to me

[southernleftylady]

4. she said that she will post them when she "gets time" meaning..

its another post some b.s and run without proof... but ill keep yall update

[insane_cratic_gal]

5. that means she doesn't have proof

she heard it from someone.. who heard it from someone.. who read it of GOP talking points, that was broadcast ed on Limbaugh.

That's usually how they get their information.

[htuttle]

6. That means it's a lie

They just make up stuff out of thin air and hope it sticks.

Lying is what Republicans seem to do best -- although most of them are terrible liars.

9. updated my post.. it was an interview not writting for mags. nt

[htuttle]

16. Still no link -- still a lie

She was interviewed with her husband long after she'd been outed. Maybe that's what they are thinking of.

Or they are probably just making the whole damned thing up again.

8. Tell her no proof equals no credibility.

[liveoaktx]

12. Tell her until she does, you won't believe it since people post BS

without proof all the time

with RW'ers. If you have already seen it, great.

Leak of Agent's Name Causes Exposure of CIA Front Firm

By Walter Pincus and Mike Allen
Washington Post Staff Writers
Saturday, October 4, 2003; Page A03

The leak of a CIA operative's name has also exposed the identity of a CIA front company, potentially expanding the damage caused by the original disclosure, Bush administration officials said yesterday.

-snip-
After the name of the company was broadcast yesterday, administration officials confirmed that it was a CIA front. They said the obscure and possibly defunct firm was listed as Plame's employer on her W-2 tax forms in 1999 when she was working undercover for the CIA. Plame's name was first published July 14 in a newspaper column by Robert D. Novak that quoted two senior administration officials. They were critical of her husband, former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, for his handling of a CIA mission that undercut President Bush's claim that Iraq had sought uranium from the African nation of Niger for possible use in developing nuclear weapons.

-snip-
A former diplomat who spoke on condition of anonymity said yesterday that every foreign intelligence service would run Plame's name through its databases within hours of its publication to determine if she had visited their country and to reconstruct her activities.

"That's why the agency is so sensitive about just publishing her name," the former diplomat said.

FEC rules require donors to list their employment. Plame used her married name, Valerie E. Wilson, and listed her employment as an "analyst" with Brewster-Jennings & Associates. The document establishes that Plame has worked undercover within the past five years. The time frame is one of the standards used in making determinations about whether a disclosure is a criminal violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act.

10. It doesn't matter how many people "knew" she was covert

the leaker, with the help of Novak, blew her cover. Period.

No further discussion of who knew what about her -- which is so much bullshit anyway -- need be discussed. It's their weakest talking point and they're all pretty weak.

[insane_cratic_gal]

11. I heard Wilson on a NPR

interview way back when.

I believe he said their friends new she was CIA they didn't know she was Covert.. that's been twisted.

Her friends would speculate bout this or that at the dinner table.. No one comes out and says.. "I'm a covert agent for the CIA can you please pass the peas."

[Dr.Phool]

15. Ummm, even their neighbors next door didn't know.

Wilson said the only reason he knew, was he had the clearance.

[gatorboy]

17. Exactly.

What these conservatives are too stupid to realize is of course there are members of the government that knew she was undercover.
But there's a huge difference between a group of people that you work with within a tight bubble of security knowing your CIA identity, and someone publishing it in the newspaper for every Tom Dick & Harry to read.

13. She did an article for Vanity Fair AFTER the investigation started

She was not quoted. She was photographed but hidden by sunglasses & a scarf.

[kittenpants]

22. this is what they are trying to refer to--of course it was AFTER

she was outted & she was in a disguise, but since when has the truth mattered to freepers? Also, the idea that she was known as CIA to her neighbors is just a flat-out RW lie.

[H2O Man]

14. Really? Where did you hear that lie?

Can you tell us the source of this fabrication?

[LSK]

18. how is it relevent??? once the cat is out of the bag....

Once her cover was blown, I would think she could do whatever she wanted as long as it did not interfere with the investigation.

[southernleftylady]

19. BEFORE all this stuff happened... thats what the lady said.. she did an

interview BEFORE she was outted

[htuttle]

20. She's lying

:shrug:

[LSK]

21. then ask her to show you the article

Either shes lying or she should be able to provide proof. Simple.

[jsamuel]

23. just wrong

she was risking her life on staying hidded

just plain wrong
