Me thinks the Clintonistas didn't think much of treason either.

You do realize that N. Korea's first nuclear technology was sold by ABB (Switzerland) under the watch of Donald Rumsfeld, don't you?

The Clinton/China story was debunked too. It doesn't matter. They all just want a stain on their dress that they can brag about.

But KKKarl will wind up with more than just a stain when the executioner says, "FIRE!"

Treason is a capital offense and Bush has never shown the least bit reluctance to fry prisoners as the governor of Texas. Think he'll put his own Rasputin in the chair?

Knowing that slimeball bush, he probably has his 'presidential pardon' template all set up in microsoft word for such an occassion.

Microsoft word? No way! Bush has it written out with crayon and finger paints!

History shows that the CIA has not always been the good guys and always doing their best to do the right and honorable thing for our country, but if we start with that most ultra "conservative" assumption, anyone who willingly and intentionally blows the cover of a top CIA covert operative is disclosing classified information of vital concern to the security and safety of the nation and should be tried for treason.

Valerie Plame travelled worldwide undercover. She is not in much physical danger as long as she remains in the U.S. However, any street vendor she visitied in any small side street marketplace in any small foriegn country just became a target, regardless of whether they were a CIA contact. The cover for any real contacts she had have probably been blown, and our entire information network has been compromised.

IF (and it's a big IF) Karl Rove is the source of that information, that should apply to him. It should apply to anyone else in the administration who knew about it, as well, and they should be and removed from office and tried for their crimes.

If Bush or Cheney knew about it, they should be impeached and removed from office because they cannot be tried until they are.

If anyone in the administration is involved, it's a new low in American politics when political expediency becomes a motive to sell out the security interests of the nation. :|

I'd file this under "conspiracy theory" for now. Some analysts' speculations will not do it for me even if I really want this to be true. I'm gonna wait for the real thing.

Well, this is becoming more and more real. I really don't want to believe Rove is capable of this. I had enormous respect for his political tactics.

I revealed in yesterday's taping of the McLaughlin Group that Time magazine's emails will reveal that Karl Rove was Matt Cooper's source. I have known this for months but didn't want to say it at a time that would risk me getting dragged into the grand jury.

McLaughlin is seen in some markets on Friday night, so some websites have picked it up, including Drudge, but I don't expect it to have much impact because McLaughlin is not considered a news show and it will be pre-empted in the big markets on Sunday because of tennis.

Since I revealed the big scoop, I have had it reconfirmed by yet another highly authoritative source. Too many people know this. It should break wide open this week. I know Newsweek is working on an 'It's Rove!' story and will probably break it tomorrow.

Where do my comments give absolution to Rove?

If you want to jump of the deep end with the rest of the fools and trolls prematurely commenting on this story, as if Scary Larry O'Donnell is the final factual word, help yourself.

What next? You going to join Ritter in insisting we're going to bomb Iran and be at war by June 30?

He blew the cover of a CIA operative out of pure spite (because her husband went to Nigeria and found out that Saddam didn't try to buy yellow cake uranium from the nigerians).

This action endangered valerie plame's life and the lives of the cia operatives that worked under her throughout the world.

Basically it's treason.

"Even though I'm a tranquil guy now at this stage of my life, I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious of traitors."

Replies like this demonstrate precisely how loonie some self-deluded radical neocons can is, marginalizing themselves from reality, regardless of the facts.

FACTS:
  • Robert Novak first disclosed Plame's identity as a CIA covert operative in a column on July 14, 2003:
    Mission to Niger
    Robert Novak


    July 14, 2003

    WASHINGTON -- The CIA's decision to send retired diplomat Joseph C. Wilson to Africa in February 2002 to investigate possible Iraqi purchases of uranium was made routinely at a low level without Director George Tenet's knowledge. Remarkably, this produced a political firestorm that has not yet subsided.

    Wilson's report that an Iraqi purchase of uranium yellowcake from Niger was highly unlikely was regarded by the CIA as less than definitive, and it is doubtful Tenet ever saw it. Certainly, President Bush did not, prior to his 2003 State of the Union address, when he attributed reports of attempted uranium purchases to the British government. That the British relied on forged documents made Wilson's mission, nearly a year earlier, the basis of furious Democratic accusations of burying intelligence though the report was forgotten by the time the president spoke.

    Reluctance at the White House to admit a mistake has led Democrats ever closer to saying the president lied the country into war. Even after a belated admission of error last Monday, finger-pointing between Bush administration agencies continued. Messages between Washington and the presidential entourage traveling in Africa hashed over the mission to Niger.

    Wilson's mission was created after an early 2002 report by the Italian intelligence service about attempted uranium purchases from Niger, derived from forged documents prepared by what the CIA calls a "con man." This misinformation, peddled by Italian journalists, spread through the U.S. government. The White House, State Department and Pentagon, and not just Vice President Dick Cheney, asked the CIA to look into it.

    That's where Joe Wilson came in. His first public notice had come in 1991 after 15 years as a Foreign Service officer when, as U.S. charge in Baghdad, he risked his life to shelter in the embassy some 800 Americans from Saddam Hussein's wrath. My partner Rowland Evans reported from the Iraqi capital in our column that Wilson showed "the stuff of heroism." President George H.W. Bush the next year named him ambassador to Gabon, and President Bill Clinton put him in charge of African affairs at the National Security Council until his retirement in 1998.

    Wilson never worked for the CIA, but his wife, Valerie Plame, is an Agency operative on weapons of mass destruction. Two senior administration officials told me Wilson's wife suggested sending him to Niger to investigate the Italian report. The CIA says its counter-proliferation officials selected Wilson and asked his wife to contact him. "I will not answer any question about my wife," Wilson told me.

    After eight days in the Niger capital of Niamey (where he once served), Wilson made an oral report in Langley that an Iraqi uranium purchase was "highly unlikely," though he also mentioned in passing that a 1988 Iraqi delegation tried to establish commercial contacts. CIA officials did not regard Wilson's intelligence as definitive, being based primarily on what the Niger officials told him and probably would have claimed under any circumstances. The CIA report of Wilson's briefing remains classified.

    All this was forgotten until reporter Walter Pincus revealed in the Washington Post June 12 that an unnamed retired diplomat had given the CIA a negative report. Not until Wilson went public on July 6, however, did his finding ignite the firestorm.

    During the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, Wilson had taken a measured public position -- viewing weapons of mass destruction as a danger but considering military action as a last resort. He has seemed much more critical of the administration since revealing his role in Niger. In the Washington Post July 6, he talked about the Bush team "misrepresenting the facts," asking: "What else are they lying about?"

    After the White House admitted error, Wilson declined all television and radio interviews. "The story was never me," he told me, "it was always the statement in (Bush's) speech." The story, actually, is whether the administration deliberately ignored Wilson's advice, and that requires scrutinizing the CIA summary of what their envoy reported. The Agency never before has declassified that kind of information, but the White House would like it to do just that now -- in its and in the public's interest.
  • Someone[/b] leaked that information to Novak. The motive appears to be an attempt to discredit or embarrass her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson because he reported to Bush that, after a thorough investigation, there was no evidence that Saddam was attempting .
  • Disclosling her identity, or that of any other CIA agent is serious breach of national security and a felony.
Keep up the kindergarten commentary, young-uns.
If you don't have facts to disprove any of the above, and the best you can come up with is petty name calling, you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground, and you should STFU until you have something to contribute to the planet better than TasetslikeChickensh8. :|

::snicker::

So if you believe what Rove did to be true, then how can this be a product of the "loonie left"?

So when it comes out that Rove WAS the "outer", are you going to come on these boards and say that you were wrong? Or are you going to say that the bitch deserved it?

I'm thinking the latter, for you don't give a crap about treason, pergury or the like because you sir, are a hack of the very worst kind.

Do you not understand about people making all this idiotic commentary before the facts are in, and making comments on the level of 12 year olds?

Whether or not Rove is guilty is not the point here. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. We will find out soon enough. The point is that we don't know for sure yet but there are those already jumping the gun and making the snide comments. And I'm sure if it turns out that Rove isn't the one you won't see a single one of those jokes in here making moronic commentary revisting this thread to apologize or admit they were wrong, just like in the Ritter thread.

Edit: And as far as the caring about treason comment, did you make the call to indict kerry for his treasonous act? Well gee, I guess you just don't give a crap, and are a hack of the very worst kind, making apologies for his actions.

Gee, isn't pointing fingers and making assinine claims fun? :roll:

in fairness, people do this with anything.

as soon as the media gets a hint of blood in the water, they automatically convict them over the airwaves regardless of the facts.

nothing to do with liberal/conservative, despite your best attempts at flamebait.

I agree, let's see where it goes. There doesn't seem to be any opposition to Rove being the leaker, so I think it's safe to assume. But regardless of who did it, whether it be Rove, Bolton, Condi, whoever.... the fact remains that that person committed a high crime and must be punished for it.

NO! When it comes to even the possiblitiy of treason and breaches of national security, especially by someone in the administration, yesterday is not soon enough. The damage is real, it's already done, and it's damned serious. :|

Exactly what treasonous act would that be? Please provide proof of actual treason, or STFU!

BTW -- Testifying to Congress to report the testimony of other Vietnam vets is not treason. Neither is tossing one's own medals or ribbons. Neither of these divulged any national secrets or jeopardized the lives of any Americans (or anyone else for that matter).
Gee, isn't pointing fingers and making assinine claims fun? :roll:
Until you can legitimize any of the vapid crap you post, you should start by pointing that finger at yourself. Careful -- It might go off, and you'd let all the hot air out of that empty skull. :shocked:
