farglebargle -> Ruh, Roh. Valerie Plame Wilson WAS Covert. (3/16/2007 9:07:48 AM)

This morning, in her testimony under oath before the House Government and Oversight Committee, Valerie Plame Wilson asserted that she was in fact a covert officer at the time that columnist Robert Novak revealed her employment at the CIA. “In the run-up to the war with Iraq, I worked in the Counterproliferation Division of the CIA, still as a covert officer whose affiliation with the CIA was classified,” Plame sad in her opening testimony.

She added, “While I helped to manage and run secret worldwide operations against this WMD target from CIA headquarters in Washington, I also traveled to foreign countries on secret missions to find vital intelligence.” Watch it:

The lead prosecutor in the Scooter Libby trial admitted in his closing statement that his real target was Dick Cheney, but determined in his investigation that Scooter Libby was stepping up to take the bullet for his boss.

It would be interesting if the committee in question decides to file formal charges against Shotgun.

she comes across as credible to me.  not a dizzy blonde as portrayed in the convertable pic seen over ad nausean----------------------




puella -> RE: Ruh, Roh. Valerie Plame Wilson WAS Covert. (3/16/2007 9:24:12 AM)

... How many times did I try to explain that she was covert?  How many times did they just disregard that and keep saying she was not... do you suppose they will continue to do so? Hehe..




farglebargle -> RE: Ruh, Roh. Valerie Plame Wilson WAS Covert. (3/16/2007 9:29:37 AM)

Oh, I'm sure they'll TRY, but Plame was under oath when she gave that testimony. So if they're going to insist she wasn't ask why she's not being held for perjury.

Hilarious article in Rolling Stone last week by Matt Taibbi called "Dick has a rough week."

Apparently, he made a junket out of town so he would not be around when Libby got convicted.

On his world tour...

Air Force 2, the Spirit of Strom Thurmond, broke down.

A suicide bomber tried to kill him in Pakistan, but only succeeded in killing 26 secret service agents.

He pissed off the Chinese by telling them the US was worried about China's military build-up,   Considering the United States now spends more on our military than every other country on the planet COMBINED, I can understand China's annoyance.

He insulted the Japanese defense minister and then retreated to the safety of a US warship.

The list goes on.

I would say it couldnt happen to a nicer guy, but from what I have read about Cheney, the words nice dont belong in a sentence with him without negation statements.

You can't be pardoned until you're convicted.





puella -> RE: Ruh, Roh. Valerie Plame Wilson WAS Covert. (3/16/2007 12:04:10 PM)

Hey where is popeye and that other guy who kept calling Plame a useless dilitante? 




farglebargle -> RE: Ruh, Roh. Valerie Plame Wilson WAS Covert. (3/16/2007 12:06:11 PM)

I love you, Puella.




puella -> RE: Ruh, Roh. Valerie Plame Wilson WAS Covert. (3/16/2007 12:12:26 PM)

awwww![:)]




pahunkboy -> RE: Ruh, Roh. Valerie Plame Wilson WAS Covert. (3/16/2007 12:15:09 PM)

well plane looks like a bimbo in that red convertable pic.  seeing the video- she is actually quite elequent.




puella -> RE: Ruh, Roh. Valerie Plame Wilson WAS Covert. (3/16/2007 12:20:41 PM)

Yes of course, everyone knows a beautiful woman can not be intelligent or useful, let alone competent and instrumental.. she has pretty blond hair, she must be just another dumb broad secretary to someone at the cia.

that was THE photo the media beamed around the globe.  surely there were other photos less dizzy blonde they could have hyped???

the convertable implied- barbies beach house playland. i want a pony!!

whoopzy- i forgot- the media is a propaganda machine.... silly me.




farglebargle -> RE: Ruh, Roh. Valerie Plame Wilson WAS Covert. (3/16/2007 12:33:49 PM)

Everyone wants a pony.

No-one considers where the pony will sleep, however.




puella -> RE: Ruh, Roh. Valerie Plame Wilson WAS Covert. (3/16/2007 12:36:11 PM)

The picture is irrelevant.  She is a woman in a car, in what looks to be a vacation photo.. she is not inappropriately dressed, she has not exposed her self in an overtly sexual manner... she is not representing herself in anyway as a ditzie blond, she is sitting in a freaking car with sunglasses on..  but that is not the point.

If a male CIA officer were beamed around the media in a similar picture, he would not be called dizzy or bimbo or what have you.  He would be a cool, James Bondian, hot guy CIA dude.

I do not think many people see the very strong biases both in the many posts to these forums and in the media in general about this woman.

I bet you ten bucks if it were an outed male CIA operative, there would be much more outrage at what happened.
