Bob Novak still maintains Valerie Plame was not covert when he outed her at the CIA.

“What she doesn’t have in the book is the fact that she was brought back from an overseas assignment, according to my sources, because the CIA feared she had been outed many years ago by the agent, agent Aldrich Ames.”

:crazy:

True, the CIA recalled her from Europe in 1997, fearing that her name might have been passed to the Russians by the mole Aldrich Ames. But, she writes, she still took different routes to work each day, "traveled domestically and abroad using a variety of aliases" and continued to hope for another foreign posting.

CIA Director Michael Hayden personally reviewed and okayed Henry Waxman's opening statement for Valerie Plame's testimony today. Furthermore, Hayden took pains to set the record straight: Plame was indeed a covert agent up until the day Robert Novak revealed as much to the public.

gains members.

3. Novak speaks crap

I know more than a little about these matters and the legalities. She was withdrawn from an overseas position because she might have compromised ... fine. We get that. But that has nothing to do with her covert status, which is maintained to a) contain the possible damage, b) protect as much as possible the burned agent and c) protect associates, assets, and other agents and national security resources. Just because her cover was potentially blown does not relieve the government and all its officials of the obligation to protect sensitive information regarding her.

Novak and these other ass clowns understand this well, and if this sort of malfeasance had been perpetrated by a Democratic administration they would have been calling for impeachment on the grounds of aiding and abetting an act of treason.

And, they would be right to do so! Betrayal of national security assets when American troops are being placed in the line of fire is very definitely treason.

Were the American system of justice not complete subverted by these evil fuck wads they would be facing the real prospect of being given what they deserve: a blind fold, a cigarette, and 12 cheap bullets.

4. He has to. He can never concede that what he did was so bad

that he, rove, cheney, bush, all three dipshit wh press liars, armitage, scooper, on and likely on, should be in prison with Aldridge Ames, or executed--since we are supposedly at war.

Pukes can't apologize, because they are never wrong and if he owned up to the truth, not only would he lose all credibility now. but his remaining future would be right down the historical toilet.
Expect nothing better from this lieing pig.

5. Why isn't that lying f**k in prison?

They ALL have immunity.

6. Bob who?

Nobody pays attention to that idiot anymore. This recycled lie has been thoroughly refuted.

9. is he having "anxiety diarrhea?"

No Preparation H should ever soothe his *ss!

10. GOP ers do admit mistakes nor do they apologize.

Keep that in mind.

11. that's not for Novak to determine...

[sakabatou]

12. You fail Novak

[applegrove]

13. What do we expect from a propagandaist. They say these things

and let them float around like they are true. It doesn't matter to Novak that he is wrong. He probably knows he is wrong. He just doesn't want to see anyone get sympathy for the dirty games the * White House has played against opposition.
