after re-reading Will's commentary, and along with ALL
what has happened since American Democracy was hi-jacked
by the right-wing PNAC cabal....

It is clear that the Bush White House is made up of
war profitteers, felons, felons from Iran-Contra,
secret energy rip-offs worth BILLION$ & BILLION$,
secret US govt contracts to Cheney's oil buddies who
still are paying old Dick million$ WHILE he is VP.

AND breaking the law (TREASON) by outing CIA agents
to try and 'get even' with those who expose the fraud
war that White House's PNAC cabal waged AFTER long ago
planning this war of agression.

TREASON.

Yes TREASON, in and by the Bush White House.



BushSR called it TREASON -

"Even though I'm a tranquil guy now at this stage of my life, I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious of traitors."
-- George Herbert Walker Bush, 1999

Slain CIA Agent's Dad Calls Leak Treason.

AND just HOW is it Not TREASON to allow the Saudis to escape after
9-11 ????

No other America citizen was allowed to fly, YET this TREASONOUS
White House let non-Americans, who were tied to BushSR's oil busines,
and tied to Cheney's oil business FLY OUT of the USA after a couple of days AFTER SAUDI ARABIAN hi-jackers committed the most terrible act of terrorism on American soil.

why did the White House and FBI permitted 140 Saudis (including two-dozen relatives of Osama bin Laden) to leave hurriedly from the United States for Saudi Arabia.

Fair Game

Sun Oct-05-03 04:11 PM by WilliamPitt

Officials within the United States government have determined that attacking the wife of a vocal critic in order to silence that critic, and to silence the hundreds of other analysts who know full well the breadth and scope of the lies that have been told, is acceptable behavior. In other words, wives are now fair game.

The wife of Joseph Wilson, Valerie Plame, was an extraordinary person doing an extraordinary job. In the lexicon of the intelligence business, she was a CIA agent with a non-official cover, otherwise known as a Noc. An associated Press report about Plame described Noc status as, the most difficult kind of false identity for the agency to create, often involving especially dangerous jobs. In Plames case, her Noc status was created so she could covertly work to keep weapons of mass destruction out of the hands of terrorists.

You might recall the Tom Cruise film Mission Impossible, the plot of which revolved around Cruise working to retrieve something called a Noc List which had fallen into the wrong hands. The Noc List was a list of extreme deep cover agents whose exposure would lead not only to their deaths, but to the destruction of several valuable intelligence networks. Thats just the movies. The real world, Valerie Plame was on a Noc List, and now her cover has been blown by Bush administration officials. She and her husband now report that they are living in fear that Plames life is now in jeopardy because her undercover status has been removed.

Plame was not the only person to have her cover blown by the Bush administrations desire for petty revenge and political cover. On her W-2 tax form, Plame cited her employer as being a company called Brewster Jennings & Associates. This has since been revealed to be a CIA front company, and was likely the employer for a number of other deep-cover agents who have, along with Plame, been blown by the Bush administration. Robert Novak, the columnist who first exposed Plame in print, disgraced himself further on television when he said, "There is no such firm, I'm convinced. CIA people are not supposed to list themselves with fictitious firms if they're under a deep cover -- they're supposed to be real firms, or so I'm told. Actually, Robert, the company does exist, and deep-cover operatives work for companies like this to keep their CIA status a secret.

So, to recap, the wives of Bush administration critics are fair game. CIA operatives are likewise fair game. If said CIA operative is working to defend our national security by keeping weapons of mass destruction out of the hands of terrorists, that does not matter, because they are fair game. Also, front companies used to protect the identities of CIA operatives working to defend our national security, and by proxy all of the agents whose lives are protected by that cover, are fair game as well.

Seeing as how this is the case, that the barest standards and principles no longer have a place within this administration, that the national security of the United States can be sacrificed for low-rent political retribution, that George W. Bush and his people have been exposed as the rankest and bloodiest hypocrites in the history of American government, that everything is now fair game, I say lets have at it. If politics is now nothing more than a WWF cage match, I want in. I have a fighter in my corner who also believes in the idea that everything is fair game.

My fighter is an independent counsel. Lets call him James.

James will ask what motivated Colin Powell to say, on February 24, 2001, Hussein has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. James will ask Powell what he based this statement on. James will ask Powell why, in light of his February 24th comment, he said "We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to keep his weapons of mass destruction, is determined to make more" before the United Nations on February 5th, 2002, and why he said, "I am confident that we will find evidence that makes it clear he had weapons of mass destruction" on May 4th, 2003.

James will want to know which version of reality was the truth, and which version was the act of a company man hauling water for a pack of professional liars. James will have dozens and dozens of such contradictory statements to check out, from Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld (We know where they are, said Rumsfeld of the WMDs on March 30. They are in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad.) and Rice and Wolfowitz and Perle and all the others who promised us there were weapons in Iraq that posed a direct threat to the United States.

James will ask what in the world happened to the 26,000 liters of anthrax, the 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin, the 500 tons of sarin and mustard and VX, and the 30,000 munitions capable of delivering these terrible substances. This is all listed on a White House web page called Disarm Saddam Hussein. The claim that Iraq attempted to procure uranium from Niger to begin a nuclear weapons program is also on this page, months after that story was completely discredited. James will want to know where all this stuff is, and why it is still listed on a government website as a legitimate cause for war.

James will want to know why George W. Bush said, We found the weapons of mass destruction! on Polish television on May 29th. James will want to know if Bush was lying, stupid, or both.

James will be able to go on and on in this vein. Thats what makes James a dangerous man in a cage match. That is also what is making the White House sweat about this. Valerie Plame was attacked because Joseph Wilson blew the lid off the fact that the White House lied about that Niger uranium. The Niger uranium issue will become central to James investigation. Pull on that Niger thread, and the entire tapestry of lies surrounding the Iraq war will come spinning to the ground.

In a fascinating twist, James will in all likelihood also be able to act as a powerful and credible investigator into what really happened on September 11th. After all, connecting 9/11 to Iraq was a central note within the administrations rhetorical push for war. James will be forced to get to the bottom of this, and to the bottom of 9/11 itself, to make clear what connections there were between that terrible day and Iraqs terrible leader. James will have to investigate every corner of 9/11 to make sure there were no Iraqis skulking around in the shadows.

If everything is fair game, surely the Bush administration wont mind these types of questions. Anyone who would torpedo an undercover agent and harm our national security should appreciate the bare-knuckled approach.

:grr:

(and lurking wingnuts can plaster it everywhere their little hearts desire)

The Bush Administration is the ENEMY of the American People, and the most patriotic thing a citizen can do is to oppose them and see them fail

:grr:

ps- to lurking dumbasses who have no reading comprehension: this does NOT mean I want to see dead American troops. Please note I said the BUSH ADMIN, nothing more

:eyes:

Big business is going to take them over and guess who will be paying nice big prices for drugs. Iraq is now being sold off to the corp and our army will protect these companies at tax payers cost.Greed will cost us our country and I sometimes do not think any one really cares. Half the pop do not vote so they do not care that is for sure.We are going to make Nero's Rome look clean.

for the neocons

a nightmare for everyone else

If WalMart were a country, I imagine it would look much like Iraq is starting to look

Bring on the articles of impeachment!

Bush out now!!

the media, groups like AIPAC, JINSA, American Enterprise Institute, Heritage Foundation, and several others to the "treasonous" list. The media, and these groups, have supported the Bush/PNAC cabal to the hilt, and acted in a manner that has allowed the cabal to extend their control over our government.

After the election, we are going to need a Nuremberg type trial to bring justice to all who have betrayed this nation. What do you think the odds are of that happening, without a massive outcry from the citizens? The media sure as hell won't be calling for their own heads on a platter!

One thing I do hope for though, is that whoever is the new Dem president-elect, will refuse to pardon any regime player brought to trial. To do so, would risk the fascists rising yet again, and allow them to escape justice. The Repugs manage to pardon their gangs when in office, and we cannot allow this again.

:grr:

Gulf War was Sr. just getting his oil buddies out of a bind. Look, I know Saddam invaded Kuwait and that was not good but, I don't think we would have done the same if Saddam attacked say, Turkey.
