WASHINGTON - An unclassified summary of outed CIA officer Valerie
Plame's employment history at the spy agency, disclosed for the first
time today in a court filing by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald,
indicates that Plame was "covert" when her name became public in July
2003.

The summary is part of an attachment to Fitzgerald's memorandum to the
court supporting his recommendation that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice
President Cheney's former top aide, spend 2-1/2 to 3 years in prison for
obstructing the CIA leak investigation.

The nature of Plame's CIA employment never came up in Libby's perjury
and obstruction of justice trial.


Undercover travel
The unclassified summary of Plame's employment with the CIA at the time
that syndicated columnist Robert Novak published her name on July 14,
2003 says, "Ms. Wilson was a covert CIA employee for who the CIA was
taking affirmative measures to conceal her intelligence relationship to
the United States."

Plame worked as an operations officer in the Directorate of Operations
and was assigned to the Counterproliferation Division (CPD) in January
2002 at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

The employment history indicates that while she was assigned to CPD,
Plame, "engaged in temporary duty travel overseas on official
business." The report says, "she traveled at least seven times to more
than ten times." When overseas Plame traveled undercover, "sometimes in
true name and sometimes in alias -- but always using cover -- whether
official or non-official (NOC) -- with no ostensible relationship to the
CIA."

in the group of folks
who won't (quite) always be wrong have to be our esteemed friends with
a more conservative perspective. It is just such a willingness to be
frank, self critical, inclusive, and willing to accept the opposition
as worthy individuals of merit and intelligence (rather than "enemies
of the state") that marks an important difference between liberal
ideology and the politics of hate, blame, and recrimination preached
by the Limbaughs, Hannitys, Savages, etc of the world.


Chuck,

All our "conservative" friends would have to do is admit they were
complete idiots for having ever having believed that the Bush/Cheney
Iraq war was anything but a grab for the world's biggest nearly
unaffiliated pool of oil (it just needed to be liberated from Saddam).

You and the rest of folks from the left suffered through so much
bull**** when this was all coming down.

I want to read their admissions that they were freakin' idiots.

Even Republican leadership is giving up on these bald faced liars. Only
fools would continue to believe this administration is about anything
but protecting the rich and richer and all their agendum.

Let them admit they were sucked in by a group of ill-inspired jackasses
that have reduced this country's ability to compete in the world while
setting us on a rotten footing morally, ethically and spiritually,
who're now threatening the very foundation of our republic by thwarting
and stonewalling the two other branches of government.

If this were Democrats taking the country down, our conservative friends
would be peering through the blinds of their media rooms with their
semi-automatic weapons in hand, looking for cars bearing Kerry/Edwards
stickers to shoot at.

Let them apologize for their foolishness...

and I'll go back to writing exclusively about boating in this newsgroup.

Old couple sitting on the porch.
Old lady gets up and slaps the old man off his chair. As he gets up he
asks his wife of 60 years, why she had hit him? She answered, "that's
for having a small member". Next day, old lady gets up and slaps old
man off chair. Again he asks why? She says "that's fo being a lousy
lover". Next day old man gets up and slaps woman off chair, she asks
why? He answeres, "that's for knowing the difference!".
Oh well, hope I don't have to slap you! I am too old to take an ass

He should be. We're just a little too busy with the troubles at hand.

There were all sorts of things congress and the justice department could
have been doing when they were pursuing Bill Clinton for lying about a
blow job.

Were you complaining back then?

You do know that Fitzgerald knew Armitage was the leaker from the very

Very difficult charge to make, based on how the law is written. You
have to have known and prosecution has to be able to prove that you knew
the agent was under cover.

Lying and obstructing justice, however, are an easy standard to
prosecute. Libby was found guilty of several counts of each, found
guilty by a jury of his peers, sentenced within guidelines by a
conservative judge...

Only to have his sentence commuted by a man who never commutes
sentences.

Law and order Republicans... what a crock.

Oh, so you're saying we should pursue Cheney? The best way to Cheney
was to let Libby rot in jail for few months. I'm guessing the lid
would've come off a whole lot of stories...
