I tend to agree. Wilson couldn't keep a secret if his life depended on it.

Just goes to show ya, the Liberals will do anything to bring the country down. I certainly hope that this is being investigated and the retired officers as well as the active officers are brought down.

President Bush should move as fast as he can to get the people out of the CIA that would be a part of a plot like this.

As far as I am concerned these people are as much a threat to this country as the terrorists.

I guess that it was alright for these people that an obvious anti-Bush "covert" (ha,ha) operative like Valerie Plame to send her lying, incompetent equally anti-Bush husband to Africa to file a bogus report. They have no problem with that. This incident proves that both Wilson and Plame are scoundrels of the first rank. And probably many of the agents named in this article who are trying to get Bush.

Bad Rove. Bad Rove.

There, he's been disciplined. Next issue?

Are these clowns back again? They never give up, do they? Maybe if they had given as much attention to their CIA jobs as they do to trashing the Bush Administration, which they obviously dislike, they wouldn't be "former" CIA agents.

Yes, Larry Johnson was the one who wrote the article saying that the fear of terrorism was exaggerated - in July, 2001. They're trying to destroy the Bush Administration's credibility, because they have none themselves.

It's about time that the CIA is given scrutiny by the 'pubs.

Appears that a lot of them are living off the welfare of the American taxpayer. Cleaning house would be in order. Alot of them need to get a real job.

I'm overjoyed that they're gone - and there ain't none of them coming back.

"In a hearing held by Senate and House Democrats examining the implications of exposing Valerie Plame's identity..."

Partisan gatherings are *not* permitted to be called "hearings" and are not to have federal funds paying for them.

Larry Johnson..Bush hater.

I saw an FR post yesterday where ol' Larry wrote an article in July or so of 2001 that described our fears of terrorism as unreasonable. Yeah, I'm sure glad that he's ex-CIA.

The farcical "outing" of Valerie Plame therefore raises a genuinely frightening monster from the swamp: A subversive alliance between the intelligence bureaucracy, the Democratic Party and the media.

Very interesting, and if one believes the international enemies over the years that claimed they will destroy America from within or feed US little bits of socialism until one day we wake up to Communism one has to wonder by what methods and through what groups would this be likely. The Dems? The media? The CIA? Clearly something has been very wrong, very wrong indeed.

The real issue here is reforming the CIA - and it will be reformed, whether Larry Johnson and his friends like it or not.
