Reply #22: Unless Novak lied about confirming her identity with the CIA [View All]

So you're going to assume that the whole thing is nothing but a wisp of smoke, on the basis of a statement by a known liar and scoundrel, Bob Novak?

WHY would the CIA out one of it's own agents? Do you realize what that would do to morale there? Do you think that the various spokespersons for VIPS and people like Ray Johnson are just shilling for the Bushes to out one of their own? Ray Johnson used to work with Plame, and knows that she was a NOC. He's also a Republican.

You think all this is simply engineered to create a 'false' scandal that will make some people look silly? Why would they look silly if they were ernestly and honestly investigating what looks like a treasonous breach of national security? Even if it turned out to be nothing, they are SUPPOSED to investigate allegations like this.

I think your theory is full of hooey. The White House committed treason, and caused serious damage to national security in the realm of tracking stolen nuclear weapons materials. You just can't minimize that, no matter what the White House's original intentions. (In other words, I don't care if they 'meant' to do that or not. They did it.).
