Rove Plays Politics With National Security
Senior White House Advisor Karl Rove has put our nation's security in jeopardy by revealing the identity of Valerie Plame, a covert agent investigating weapons of mass destruction programs and proliferation. It is astonishing that a person so close to our president could disregard our homeland security (as well as the security of our closest allies) in an effort to achieve political retribution on Plame's husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, for his (now proven correct) rebuke of the Iraqi-Nigerian yellowcake claim in the build up to the Iraq War. I can only hope President Bush is a man who puts our nation's security ahead of politics, and rids his administration of Rove and any others who would betray our country for political gain.

1. Holy crap, I thought I'd never see the day . . . . |

sniffa typed a lowercase "l".
WOW! :)
Looks good to me actually, I can't think of anything I'd change. I'm guessing you're sending that to the Globe, we all know the Herald won't publish it unless it involves kissing Bush ass.

I think it would even cause some conservatives down here in Arkansas to take pause-they are big at protecting security.

You might want to rethink "rebuke." It's most commonly used to mean "reprimand."
Good letter--good luck!

is probably refutation, but that just doesn't flow, does it?
Or repudiation.

11. I like the way you framed it |

That's how I try and word my LTTE, also. I find you have better luck making people stop and think if you don't bash them in the head first.
I like it sniffa, good work!

Here's yours: Rove Plays Politics With National Security

It is astonishing that a person so close to our president could disregard our homeland security, as well as the security of our closest allies, in an effort to achieve political retribution on Plame's husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, for his (now proven correct) rebuke of the Iraqi-Nigerian yellowcake claim in the build up to the Iraq War. I can only hope President Bush is a man who puts our nation's security ahead of politics, and rids his administration of Rove and any others who would betray our country for political gain.
I'd just change it to read this way: Rove Plays Politics With National Security
Senior White House Advisor Karl Rove put our nation's security in jeopardy when he revealed the identity of Valerie Plame, a covert agent investigating weapons of mass destruction programs and proliferation. It is astonishing that a person so close to our president could disregard our homeland security, as well as the security of our closest allies, for little more than revenge on Plame's husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, for his (now proved correct) rebuke of the Iraqi-Nigerian yellowcake claim in the build up to the Iraq War. We should all be able to trust that President Bush is a man who would put our nation's security ahead of politics, and rid his administration of Rove and any others who would betray our country for political gain.
Just suggesting being a little more definitive and forceful. Otherwise, a superb letter.
Edited again to change "retribution" to "Revenge".
Let's call a spade a spade, shall we?

20. Good! Here's mine (Doin' it for the activist corps) Is it ok? |
|
There are many questions surrounding the issue of who blew CIA agent Valerie Plame’s cover in retaliation for her husband, Ambassador Wilson, revealing as forgeries the Niger yellowcake uranium documents that provided "proof" for pushing forward with the Iraq war.
For example, are these forgeries what was meant by the Downing Street memo which stated that the “intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy" of going to war in Iraq?
Who authorized the revelation of Ambassador Wilson’s wife as an undercover weapons of mass destruction operative for the CIA, thus putting her mission and dozens of other operatives at risk?
Why did former Attorney General Ashcroft remove himself from the leak investigation?
If the leak indeed came from a member or members of his staff will President Bush, who promised honor and integrity in the White House, stand by his word and “deal” with the person who created the leak as he promised way back in 2003?
And why is the White House changing its story from “it’s ridiculous” to think that Karl Rove is involved in the leak, that they’ve “made it very clear, he was not involved, that there's no truth to the suggestion that he was” to “This is an ongoing investigation at this point. The president directed the White House to cooperate fully with the investigation, and as part of cooperating fully with the investigation, that means we're not going to be commenting on it while it is ongoing.” Have they been hiding something for two years, or does President Bush have so little control over what his staff does, including Karl Rove, a man his own father once fired for leaking a negative story about Bush supporter Robert Mosbacher to none other than columnist Bob Novak, who features in the Plame story as well?
