They’re probably all guilty.

General Clark has been warning everyone who will listen about this for years now.

Frenchie Cat at DU put together an excellent post of his ongoing efforts to STOP THE NEXT WAR BEFORE IT STARTS!! I pray he is being heard.

Nary a word from Corpress on any of these efforts. Big shock, eh?

What has WES CLARK Done? IRAN: A Work in Progress

Clark has long said Jr. will attack Iran this Spring. Time is running short… :(

I think you can only ask one question, but I tried for another one, which was, “Did you or do you represent anyone involved in this case? Yes or No.”

Now I’d like to ask her, the weasel, based on this little tidbit of obfuscation:

A trip abroad does not make a person covert. “Covert” is only applied to people specifically assigned to live abroad.

What about working at B&J overseas?

If Toensig wrote the law she should realize that the law doesn’t say anyhting about an agent having to “LIVE” or be “STATIONED” abroad.

The law says that the agent merely has to have SERVED abroad. That means that any activity on CIA business undertaken overseas would apply…even a day trip to interrogate a source that couldn’t be brought back to the United States.

Toensig would have to argue that the team sent over to kidnap the mullah in Italy weren’t covert and on a covert operation. They’d still have to be living abroad by her rationales!

In addition the law clearly does distinguish situations where “sources” LIVING abroad are accorded similar protection as Agents who SERVE abroad. If the law only implied that agents who lived abroad were protected it would have used the SAME LANGUAGE as it used in reference to the sources.

Friedman also amused himself on Imus by saying again and again: “How does one go about finding out whether there’s uranium or yellow cake in a country like Niger? That’s the question no one’s asked yet about this case. Do you ask this or that person: Have you seen uranium or yellow cake? Just how do you find out?”

Of course Imus agreed with him that this was a good question that no one’s asked yet.

Vickie Toensing spewing forth on WaPo……apparently she is in the courtroom today. I just asked her if Plame was not covert, why did CIA even refer it to DOJ for investigation.

Also ask her that if Plame’s position and activities were Non-Classified why can’t she obtain that information about what she did from the CIA’s Public Information Office? And why can’t any other Media source?

Seems that this means that it’s classified, hush-hush on the QT….perhaps even COVERT…if the CIA’s lawyers actually asked the DOJ to investigate a possible violation of the Intelligence Agents Identity Protection Act. You’d certainly think that the lawyers (they call them Counsellors) at the CIA were able to look at Plame’s employment history before sending the DOJ the referral!

Oh, I really hope fitz includes this in his rebuttal….

…now, we spent 12 minutes examining Mr. Russert, during which time he testified

T: Read Novak column in WaPo on Monday, July 14 in afternoon. I said, “Wow, this is significant.” Went to work and asked people we were working with what they knew.

F: Did anyone say they knew?

Just the opposite.

Mr Wells spent five hours cross-examining Mr. Russert, but not once did he ask him “are you certain that you read the Novak column on the 14th, and didn’t read it as wire copy on the 11th?” But now Mr. Wells wants you to think that there is “reasonable doubt” about everything that Mr. Russert testified to…. despite the fact that he never challenged Mr. Russerts account about how he read the column and how he went in to work and discussed it with his fellow employees and all of them were as suprised as he was.

And despite the fact he never brought ANYONE forward that could show that they learned about Plame on July 11th or 12th FROM THE AP WIRE!

He never even brought forward any evidence that it WAS sent out on the AP Wire by the 11th! He simply got Novak to say that he thought it might be sent out the day he submitted it.

Lemme see…d’ya think that the AP might be a bit slow to do things on Friday afternoons and on weekends?

WAGGING THE DOG ALERT –
…
My money’s on an attack of some sort on Iran if there’s a guilty verdict.

I wouldn’t bet against that, unfortunately… Bastards at the helm of our ship of state.

If any of you have read, “The Greatest Story Every Sold” you would have to agree with this view.

Think you’re gonna get legal redress if you are accused of terrorism? Think again.

Pray for the health of Justice Stevens.

I saw Vickie’s answer and don’t know what to make of it. She sat at the defense table because it was crowded?

Ha! I’ve deciphered this. The ROOM was crowded, but the DEFENSE TABLE was not. My conclusions: (1) There are a lot of folks who don’t want to sit with Libby any more. (2) The rats are leaving the sinking ship.
