Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

>>>The point is it's not a lie- he probably believes it, but it's not fact. It will never be proven that Plame was a covert agent. Fitz was simply expressing his opinion.<<<


Kind of like you then. Just say things that make no sense but you say it anyway because that's what you want it to be? And you want it so badly you actually believe it. It would explain how you can sit there and type garbage with no shame.

Seriously.....Libby lost his law license over this and almost went to jail. The Bush WH - typically not shy when it comes to protecting its turf - sat idly by and let the prosecution go forward knowing it was based on false premises? Imagine the trouble they could have avoided had they called Fitz's bluff. So why didn't they?

Oh.......and CIA director Hayden is delusional too?


From the beginning of the scandal around the outing of the CIA secret agent Valerie Plame by top White House officials, Bush’s spinners and GOP operatives have worked as hard as they could to create confusion about Wilson’s status as a covert agent. The desperation with which they have tried to muddy the waters about Wilson’s undercover status is a clue to how dangerous they consider this piece of information to be.

When Valerie Wilson testified before a House committee in March, she said, under oath, that she was covert. Rep. Henry Waxman (D-West Hollywood) also read a statement from Gen. Michael Hayden, the director of the CIA, that stated that Wilson was covert at the time she was outed. And yet, the White House and GOP operatives have continued to lie about Wilson’s status.
