The Associated Press broke big news out of the State Department this week — that former No. 2 Richard Armitage, who is like a brother to former boss Colin Powell, appeared to be the "source" who first outed then-CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson in the CIA leak case.

...

Why, you ask, would Armitage be meeting with that Tom Cruise?

...

Not surprisingly, given that Cruise requested the meeting, it was all about the Scientology.

Cruise made the pitch for a personal meeting to express his concern about the treatment of Scientologists in Europe after an aide to Armitage apparently tried to pass the actor off to John Hanford, the State Department’s ambassador at large for international religious freedom, according to a letter Cruise wrote to Armitage. The letter is dated about two weeks before the scheduled meeting.

So, for the reading pleasure of all of our loyal Swamp readers, here is a copy of Cruise’s never-before-released letter to Armitage, courtesy of the Freedom of Information Act. Enjoy!

1. That letter illustrates how small Tom Cruise's world is.....

Like Armitage would give a rat's ass about how scientologists are treated in Europe or would even consider granting Cruise an audience to discuss the subject. Hell, he probably barely knows who Tom Cruise is. Pathetic and Laughable.

2. Sad. We've witnessed what brain washing has done to this guy.

3. "Brain washing" really doesn't do the process justice

Brain Laundering maybe ..
