Also, please see this DKOs post. (Yeah, DKos, but it's civil.) http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/7/21/103055/210

The following question was asked about half way down the list.

New Stars on the wall of unknowns (none / 1)

Rep. Waxman

I would like you to ask a simple quistion: have any stars been added to the CIA Memorial as a result of this scandel? If so how many?

Thanks in Advance
A failed President= August 6 PDB, Bin Laden? DSM, WMD's? Abu Ghraib, Rove/Plame

*********** ANSWER ***************

At the current moment, it has been fairly well established that at most one of the stars on the Memorial are the result of this leak.

On the other hand, that would not include any foreign contacts or intel sources who were not CIA Agents, obviously. If someone in, say, the Iranian Interior Ministry had been providing information to Ms. Plame, and got killed because of his association with her, that would not be reflected on the Memorial.

OMG! An agent got killed because of this leak! That's treason.

I hope that both my Mass Sens show tomorrow. (A big problem with the Policy Committee hearings have been a lack of consistent attendance by Bigs.) This is major, major, major stuff. (Hell, that's treason. The leak of this information resulted in the death of an operative. OMG!)

EIDT: Sounds like C-Span will cover. I'll be tivo-ing this.

1. It's funny -

obviously, not in the ha-ha way - I'd heard mention too that a CIA agent had been killed because of the leak, but with ZERO followup. It piqued my interest; you'd think a few journalists might have been curious as well.

2. It's going to be on cspan 3 - dang!

I don't get cspan 3.
Why is it that all of the best programs are on cspan 3?
But, sometimes over the weekend, they will air what they had on 3.

Is Kerry going to be there?

The fact that a CIA agent was killed over this leak needs to be made public, as in the MSM.

3. it's on the web, though

You can live-stream all three cspans on there. I'll be watching. :)

5. It is at the same time as Karen Hugues's hearings

Not sure Kerry can go to the two at the same time.

6. I don't get Cspan 3 either (or 2 for that matter)

but I usually listen via the internets if get the chance to. (I know you can watch that way too but with dial-up, not so much.)

As far as the CIA agent being killed, these people (Shrub and his cronies) yap on and on about the "culture of life", yet have such a cavalier attitude about death. Do his supporters just not understand the irony that shrouds is this Administration*?

7. They are beginning to understand it.

And I am not sure that Kerry will 'show' for any of this. I was hoping he would show for the Rove hearing because he has sent out so much on Rove. (And because I think Rove is pond scum. But I am obviously projecting my need to get that bastard onto others. Sigh!)
