2. What does CNN think all the publicity will get for Plame?
The last time the media pounced on her it wasn't exactly a picnic.

Sounds like the new GOP talking point.

9. Death Threats If She Travels, That's What
Not only was her career destroyed, she is not safe if she travels. I heard this discussed on CNN a while back, and it shows, to me, that Valerie Plame has more to worry about that a career. How will they now ensure her safety?

3. The publicity
is a good thing. The OVP hates the publicity. That had their dehydrated lap dog Novak out this week, saying that in his judgement, there was no coordinated White House effort to expose Plame. That effort convinced the mourning crew from Fox News, and perhaps those who have contributed to the Scooter Dog Defense Trust. But they aren't going to be able to keep the truth a deep dark secret.

The publicity is a good thing.

4. You beat me to it.
Sure it's for publicity. Plame wants to show the world how her job was dismantled by the bush Crime Family. That's a good thing.

16. so, was Novak sent out when he was because they heard about
the suit through the "grapevine" and were launching one of the famous, albeit ill-fated, preemptive attacks?

It all makes sense now. The best they had was Novak ... and a poor shot across the bow he proved to be.

19. On Fox News
today, Novak is being brought out as an "expert." He is a pathetic human being. And he is about the best Fox can do right now. Their other options are Woodward, Miller, and Gingrich. The first two, like Novak, are discredited. And I think Newt is going to take a bumpy ride in the civil case.

7. wonder how Myles would like it if the White House destroyed his career?
Edited on Fri Jul-14-06 07:45 AM by emulatorloo
And sent the Republican Flying Monkey bridgade out to lie about him and smear him 24/7 on the cable talk shows?

Guess that would be just fine w him.

11. Instructions to the corporate networks comes from the WH - those
dopey danglers in front of the camera take their directions from their news directors. All of them have this Katie Couric carrot, a mortgage or two, spa fees, and tuitions to pay. They will all play the game because the WH and the corporate owners and stockholders are in a marriage to mimic the USSR and People's Republic.

14. They will do what they did in the 90's - find something and assasinate
the character: spread lies, insinuate, conduct endless vcritiques, smear, smirk, roll eyes, joke, make tsk-tsking sounds, and act as good littl morality soldiers for the morality czar - Robert Bennett and the other reverends while prostrating themselves at the feet of the Ken Starr and Paula Jone types. All in an effort to bring down the administration.

13. corporate news network can not comprehend what has happened.
Mrs. Wilson, her husband and children have been put into a very dangerous situation. The traitors who perpetrated this crime need to be exposed. Her lawsuit will reveal the criminals who participated in destroying not only her career but also their threat to our national security.

18. If there is one thing that Valerie and Joe have demonstrated
it's that they would greatly prefer not to be in the limelight. This whole ordeal must be excruciating for them.

20. Details, please
CNN is an artificial person. Articifial persons do not really exist. They don't "think" or even "seem to think".

There are real people behind this. Who (please name a real person) said what?
