Right-wing noise machine: Plame not covert

The letters thread is now closed.

So many people get so much wrong

Gator90: read Greenwald's post about Klein. How you report is as important as what you report. And your comparison to WMD is foolish: someone who said Hussein had no WMD were wrong to say so sans fact, but those who said we didn't KNOW if Hussein had WMD were right, and that's what most opponents (and I, too) said, so you're setting up a straw man.

WeikuBoy: there are other reasons to investigate other than covert status (such as being classified); Wilson, in fact, did not disprove the uranium claim at all*; and if you think there's no leftwing noise machine, you either don't pay attention or are blinded by bias: look no further than DailyKos and Keith Olbermann, etc.

* Wilson's evidence was limited only to the forged documents, and the British intel was claimed to be separate from those, and unaffected by them, as the Butler Report stated. They could be lying, but you have no basis to know that. You are simply wrong to say that Wilson proved anything about Bush's 16 words.

There is no controversy

Valerie Plame was a NOC. That was made clear by Patrick Fitzgerald.

Militant corporatists, Neo Cons, the intentionally ignorant, and other enablers continue to mislead and obfuscate. Their credibility is zero.

Her activity at Brewster Jennings and the work product from the front itself very likely threatened to neutralize the Neo Con venture-a proven fraud-to invade Iraq.

Anyone with oxygen reaching their brain can connect the dots.

Indulge me

Those with ideological bets outstanding may want to take a deep breath then, get back to me.

The contraption, the PNAC, will disintegrate. Every signatory will enjoy a full-on light bath. Those who attempted to portray Valerie Plame as something she was not will be seen as ignorant or on a payroll.

Valerie was a N.O.C. Try to imagine how you would handle her identity were some tragedy to befall you as did it her. I drew this picture to make you think. Not those who already get it, but those who, for some intentionally ignorant reason cling to the Fox News line. The cartoon is for you.

You know where to find me.

More Smoke Mean a Bigger Fire

http://www.light-to-dark.com/the_third_act.html

The smoke issued by the Neo Cons here is irritating but not debilitating. The truth has a funny way of cutting through it.

I wonder why Karen Hughes, Mary Matalin, and other White House Iraq Group members have been so quiet lately (except to console and comfort Mrs. Libby, of course). Perhaps their lawyers need their complete silence on the Plame matter. Good counsel.

Then, there's Colin Powell, who brought the top secret CIA memo with that short paragraph on Plame's status aboard AF1 on it's flight to Africa. Remember? George and the WHIG were there.

The Cons really needed to shut down the Brewster Jennings operation and very likey conspired to compromise the CIA operation, in part, aboard that flight.

Yes, Libby was right: The roots do connect the Aspens:

Yes, yes, we know Libby was only prosecuted for lying to the fed and grand jury. Still, the WHIGs have much to tell.

http://www.light-to-dark.com/fitzs_dominoes.html

The fact is, all of this right wing smoke is there for a reason, and it's sources-who are very active hereabouts-know what it is.

If Plame wasn't a NOC, why the concern from the Neo Con smokemasters here? After all, it was simply lying and perjury that nailed Libby. They do protest way too much.

Anyway, Libby has the future to look forward to:

The Never Ending Smokescreen

Does anyone truly believe that those who willfully construct the fanatical falsehood that Plame was not covert-that there was no damage done to our real national security by removing Brewster Jennings-will ever go away?

These American betrayers have been in the business of shadow governing and the protection racket for decades, ever since the "project" so vigorously protected today was conceived by Paul Wolfowitz in the mid 70's.

They are ideological slaves and are so infused with totalitarian delusion that light never reaches any part of their minds. They dare not allow it in. And so, the constant smoke.

Like the iceberg, most of the deadly, unseen portion lurks beneath the surface. The outing of Plame is the visible portion along with the lying and obstruction conviction of Libby. There exists plenty of grand jury potential in other related portions of the Neo Con Act, like the highly likely conspiracy of the WHIG in the Brewster Jennings destruction.

http://www.light-to-dark.com/neocons_betray_plame_and_country.html

So, when I read the continuing lies coming from the ideologically stubborn Neo Cons hereabouts, I just sigh, realizing they cannot leave their imprisonment. Ever.

What these blatant totalitarians did was nothing short of treason and their ongoing defense is nothing but an attorneys' brief written over and over as if they were going to face a long and bloody trial they know is coming. They are America's shame.

The principals are lawyered to the max for a reason.

And now, let there be smoke.
