White House Outs CIA Agent

Has he asked them if he knew about it? Don't know, can't tell. That'll be $5m dollars, Mr President.

We're not even wondering if he asked them if he knew about it, but who the hell did it. There is no question that someone did. Why not save the taxpayers millions of dollars of investigation money? (The answer should be obvious.)

But apparently we are in a new era of ignorance is bliss.

My thanks to all who keep this issue alive.

I'll tune in, in in 24 months, and see how it all came out.

Bottom line:

The month-long trial established beyond a reasonable doubt that White House officials at the highest level conducted a campaign to discredit those who questioned their declarations about Iraq's weapon capabilities -- declarations that turned out to be wrong.

And the testimony showed that President Bush was either lying about the White House role in outing a CIA officer at the center of the scandal, or kept in the dark by top aides who deliberately defied his orders to come forward.

What did Libby do? Forget something? Oh no, 25 years in prison because he forgot something.

Lie? Is he being charged for something that he committed before our after he was arrested?
 
Wow, the universal defense against Perjury... "I FORGOT"... should win every time, hmm?

Sure.

I find it funny that people are bending over backwards to try and charge Scooter with 'anything.' If the initial evidence doesn't hold up, charge him with perjury.

Works everytime.
 
Azure, why are you defending a liar? If you want to get involved in a Conspiracy, watch an illegal action take place, and then cover it up. That is conspiracy to defraud someone, in this case the US government.

If Scooter had told the truth, he'd not be going to jail. Who is worth your integrity, Azure? To whom will you sell your good name?

A man's word is his bond, or he is not a man.

I'm not defending a liar.

This whole trial and process had politics written all over it. That much is obvious by the comments made here, trying to bring Cheney into the fray, or blaming Cheney for outing Plame, when he never did anything like that.

The facts are...

.....
In 2003 and 2004, intense speculation about Libby centered on the possibility that he may have been the administration official who "leaked" the identity of Valerie Plame Wilson, a CIA employee whose identity was classified.
....

But,

....
On August 30, 2006, The New York Times reported that Deputy Secretary of State Department Richard Armitage was the "initial and primary source" for columnist Robert Novak's article of July 14, 2003, which named Valerie Plame as a CIA "operative".[19] CNN reported also that Armitage had been confirmed "by sources" as disclosing Mrs. Wilson's CIA role in a "casual conversation" with Robert Novak.[20][21]
....

According to this...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_Identities_Protection_Act

It is a federal crime to give information about NOC...or any CIA agent working undercover.

Why the hell is Libby being charged, while Novak gets free reign?

Prejury? A weak excuse for a jury that was looking to make heads roll, but came up short. Shucks....next time they better file a civil suit against Libby, Cheney and Karl Rove...but later amend it when they figure out the jokes on them, and those 3 people aren't guilty. You know, like the Wilson's did.
 
How do you feel about the accusations of Perjury on Clinton?

A bit different, but the same crap.

But I find it a bit strange that you can forget having sex with someone.

Unless she/he was someone you 'want' to forget.

If the blow job was memorable, I'd recall. If it was a bad one, I'd tend to recall that, as a bad blow job is rare.

Monica, if I am in my early 50's? Good looking enough, enthusiastic, and orally energetic. What's not to like, if my wife already stays with me after the Jennifer Flowers matter is national knowledge?

I'll give you points for consistency then.

The testimony is difficult to reconcile with Bush's public insistence that he wanted to know the identify of the leakers.

Asked about the case in September 2003, for instance, Bush told reporters in Chicago that "I don't know of anybody in my administration who leaked classified information. If somebody did leak classified action, I'd like to know about it, and we'll take the appropriate action.''

Testimony at the trial makes clear that at the time of Bush's statement, Karl Rove, his top political aide; Ari Fleisher, his press secretary; Richard Armitage, the No. 2 man at the State Department; and Libby had each discussed the matter with reporters before Bush's statement.

If Bush didn't already know the identify of the leakers, his top aides were willfully defying his instructions.

Yes, you are.
