If some government wanted to do Valerie Plame harm, or wanted to kidnap her for interrogation... why isn't she in the witness protection program?

ON CAPITOL HILL Valerie Wilson Testifies
Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) chairs a House Oversight and Government Reform Ctme. hearing on the disclosure of CIA Agent Valerie Plame Wilson's identity. The hearing will look into whether White House officials followed appropriate procedures for safeguarding the identity of Ms. Wilson.
FRIDAY, C-SPAN AT 10AM ET
Maybe one of Hillary's?
Man, me too!
Val looked slightly "druggy," today.
Wonder if they filled in the 'blank' spot on their bogus chart.
Can't believe the whining.... we don't even know who leaked her name... boo hoo!

Yes, I misstyped. (PPs.)
TONY SNOW on C-span
I'm watcing.
They want him to talk about the attorneys.
He just basically said that life actually does not stop because you guys are swarming a story.
re: Now Waxman is quoting Woodward and going to war
I'm telling you .. this is about the Downing Street Memo
Funny you posted that, Drumheller reared his ugly head again (just on time), a couple of days ago. Did I send you the link?
They have a blank spot where Armitage's photo should be on their chart of who passed along Valerie's name. (I refuse to use the word 'leak' here, it just allows them to frame the issue.)
That's the chart I was referring to.
You are right...and it's hard to say, from which more total crap is emitted!
Oh! I thought you were referring to me!
Get ready for two years of this garbage. It'll be an investigation a month from here on out.
Where have you been the past 5 years? They're dems...they can do anything they damn well please! Who's going to hold them accountable? The media?
LOL
I could use another couple flats of your plants for my front yard.... ;-)
They might even double up right before the primaries begin.
I wonder if they have geographically tagged outrages ready to go for next winter...
Don't you just love her snarky little "smirk"....makes her look like she smells something bad!
That's the most spot on example of how sarcasm is to be used that I have ever seen! Classic!
Thanks for posting the number for the Minority of the Committee. I just called and told the woman who answered about my disappointment with there not being more representatives from the Republicans sitting in on the hearing today. I said the least they could have done was to have individuals there, especially when Victoria Toensing testified, and that when Henry Waxman called Ms. Toensing a liar, there was no Republican making any kind of objection to it on record. I said a few other things, but I won't go into detail.
Yawn.
If some government wanted to do Valerie Plame harm, or wanted to kidnap her for interrogation... why isn't she in the witness protection program?
RE: What Nostrils just read that Hayden said...
&&&&
I heard nostrils tell Toensing that Hayden "agreed" with the statement that nostrils wrote. Yet in his opening statement this morning nostrils said on the record that he was reading a statement BY the CIA. I guess he meant 'passed by the CIA.'
After listening to the democrats from Maryland and California, the District of Columbia, and New Hampshire, I am very afraid for my country. How can there be enough stupid voters in these states to keep returning these sub-intellect individuals such as Tiny Waxman to be their legislative representatives? I can only chalk it up to the ardor caused by hate the democrat party fosters and foments continually in their efforts to 'unite the country' ... under their socialist banner. What an obscenity by tiny Waxman this committee 'hearing' was. And what's with the committee seating sign carriers to sit behind the witnesses and send signals of 'impeachment', etc? What a Neroesque spectacle tiny and his democrap colleagues have produced! How much it says about voters in their districts who return this blind-partisan hate-filled scum to Washington year after year. And tiny exposed the agenda when he told Victoria she would not be allowed to speak if she said something he didn't approve of her saying.
PSMBC reporter Mike Vaccaro? stated that Valerie clearly said it was not she who requested SlimeyJoe go to Niger.
Now I didn't hear that her testimony.
Did she actually say that?
And, if so, why in heaven's name has NO one asked as a followup: who DID send your husband to Niger??
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm just wondering if the alleged travel she had abroad in the last 5 yrs as a so-called "covert" agent might have been a pleasure trip ... maybe joining SlimeyJoe while he was in Africa for a little vacation.
No one has pinned down that alleged assignment abroad that I've heard.
I wonder if she wore disguises every day when she drove through the gates at Langley? Bwahahahahaha, what a farce tiny Waxman has produced.
Very true. We have close family friends that were covert CIA agents in the 70's and 80's. Their cover was owning a camera shop. Both became experts in photography and equipment.
Wonder if that same guy walked by her office in 1999 when she sent Joe to Niger.
I know!! We need a pj party .. BAD!
Let her enjoy her little fake nirvana world and fun in the sun for now....just up the road her castles will turn to rust and dust.
As per trial testimony by the CIA, she did send him.
It matters not tho, since the CIA allowed Wilson to write about his "secret" trip in the NYT, and no one has been arrested or charged with a crime.
these people all seem to be above the law..makes me cringe to think about it
If you are suggesting that someone should tell Novak that she is a covert officer - in order to prevent a reporter from reporting that she is a covert officer - then you have stepped all the way through the looking glass.
I have that series on DVD..loved it!
Doesn't it depend on what your definition of is is??
:-) What's not to love?
Just made it back home. I left at 2:30 and got home at 3:30. I live 12 miles away and under normal conditions, it only takes 20 minutes.
Lots of prayer getting home safely, especially up and down some scary, slippery hills.
Now I need to catch up on the Thread.
That is odd, since no one who was involved in the meetings to send Wilson testified at the trial. Care to identify by name the witness you claim testified that she did send him? Or are you going to, once again, run away from your own factually-challenged post?

Vacancy
They will believe her because no republican official in government will attack and discredit her and expose this.
She not only said today that she did NOT ask Joe to go to Niger...she said she had NOTHING to even do with the discussion...
She then said that "they" told her to write an e-mail about her husband going after THEY made the decision...(without her suggestion of course)..and THEN asked her if she would ask her husband, Joe that night if he would go.
Of course she said all of that with complete sincerity that some other agent suggested it...it was discussed and decided on, ALL without her knowledge or input.
LIAR, LIAR...
Star..I wish you could have seen her testimony..you HAVE to watch for a replay of it...you will not believe how condescending and high and mighty she acted.
Actually, she's from an Air Force family, and I think she joined under Reagan.
... "hell, we'd be beating our dogs!"
Now, that is never acceptable... Beating "our" Democrats is the solution. Not only dogs are not guilty in this case, but I doubt that any dog can do as much damage to us as Democrats.
"Have you beaten your local Democrat today?"
Wouldn't a pj party just be the neatest thing???
Yes, but every job has responsibilities which include idiot proofing. Some people are better at dealing with it than others. And they keep on coming out with a more robust class of idiots.
