Journal a.different.perspect's Journal: Valerie Plame wasn't a covert agent so she couldn't be outed 16
I'm sorry, but this is a really simple case of liberal BS building up in the drain that is my ear. And yes, I'm sort of comparing my ear to a toilet. That's because lots of liberal crap goes into it, as I've pointed out!
But this Karl Rove stuff really takes the cake. I'm not sure if you wanted the image of food after all that talk of crap, but you've got it, precisely because this Karl Rove liberal propaganda has gone too far.
Rove mentioned that Wilson's wife was "at the agency". Firstly, it was a statement about Wilson, not about her - let alone an exposure of her. Secondly, and correlatively, he didn't give her name. Thirdly, he didn't specify that she was a CIA agent - just "at the agency". Rove said it so offhandedly, and was so unmoved by its implications (and Plame's covert status), that he didn't even bother phrasing this revelation precisely. What does that mean? He didn't know of its implications; he didn't know of Plame's covert status. But you would realize that listening to the vilification he's receiving from the populist nutjobs huddled on the left, whining and pissing themselves with bile.
Rove made a mistake. But it was a very trivial mistake - because, as my headline cogently argues, Plame lived at Langley and she wasn't a covert agent of any kind anymore, unless she was pretending to non-CIA janitor, or something.
The liberal media, however, made it look like the leak meant Plame had to suddenly be tugged out of an explosive situation, or something. That, as we now know, is total liberal propaganda and should be recognized by everyone and such.
I just can't believe how liberals can lie, and lie, and lie, and lie, and lie, with no consequences, and no one in the liberal media calling them up on their enormous logical errors. How can people be so logically inconsistent and be lauded for it?
It has to stop.

Joe Wilson is a liar. He said quite specifically that it wasn't on Valerie Plame's suggestion that he was sent to corroborate the yellowcake claims; actually, it was on her suggestion (but not her authorization), and his categorical stateme

Irrelevant. If she's a covert agent, then identifying her is a crime. There's no technical part about it. If she's no longer a covert agent, why would the CIA have her listed as such?

That hasn't been proven. Whether Valerie Plame travelled outside the US is not known (as of Aug. 1, 2005). Do you really want the CIA to roll over and release an agent's history just to resolve this issue? The administration threatened to punish the leak in the past. There's a reason why they've shifted now and are trying to claim that no crime has been committed. You can a

Indeed, it looks as though you're the one with the "insanely set position". You haven't argued against any of my statements about Rove, and you've done nothing to justify yours ("Karl Rove is a traitor" - followed by no reasoning, evidence or thought).

The reason I won't get into it, and shouldn't be getting into it now, is because there is no way to have anything productive come from such a discussion.
You are trolling. "Valerie Plame was not undercover" is bait. It's not true of course; there is a Justice Department investigation and an army of pissed CIA who have testified to the fact that yes she was a NOC, yes she was undercover, yes the White

You don't have to be very explicit to be guilty of leaking secrets. If "his wife works at the agency" is enough for a journalist to figure out that Valerie Plame is a covert CIA operative, it's as good as saying so explicitly. This shoul

My point about the offhandedness of Rove's leak is not that it diminished the meaning of it (it had little meaning to begin with), but that it indicates how he failed to recognize the importance of what he was saying. To be guilty of anything here, Rove needs to have known what he was leaking was a natio

rove knew what he was leaking was a national secret, it was marked as classified on all the documents that mentioned it, hence why he said "i've already said too much" when he was leaking it.

"Wilson's wife is at the agency." In this sentence "Wilson's" is an adjective modifying "wife". "Wife" is a noun and the subject of the sentence, which by definition makes the sentence a statement about "wife". Reading is fundamental.

-The administration did ignore Wilson's report, cause they wanted to go to war and it was too late to pull back.
