Should Congress issue an "official" apology to Valerie Plame
Edited on Sat Jul-07-07 10:17 AM by Toots
A US Government Official was responsible for her loss of position in the CIA. It was done by an Agent of the Government and she is owed an apology by someone. We all know the Bush* Cabal will never issue one so I think it is up to Congress to address the issue. It does not matter one whit whether the leaking of the Agent's identity was deliberate or unintentional. The bottom line is a Covert Agent that was heavily involved in tracking nuclear material throughout the world and the Network she was involved with is no longer in operation due to loose lips..IMO She and America is due an apology..

2. Not at all, congress must find out who did it, then prosecute, convict and imprison
...those responsible and force the guilty persons to apologize. In that way congress demonstrates its commitment to protecting the rights of its citizens and upholding the laws it has made.

3. They should issue an apology and give her the Medal Of Freedom.
We owe her that much at least. She should also get full pay for the rest of her life, just like they do.

4. Congress didn't do it. They should censure the president for the action, though

6. She was a devoted government employee most of her adult life .. a GS-13
One of the highest paygrades in government employment. She had devoted her life to her country. She may find monotary satisfaction somehow out of this, (maybe not) but she will never again experience the inner satisfaction of knowing how she has helped America and the world in saving countless lives. She does indeed deserve the Medal of Freedom and Congress should award one to her along with a deep and very sincere apology. Congress was not responsible for her betrayal but they are our Representative government and they need to act. The people of the USA owe Ms. Plame an apology...

7. Since they haven't apologized for Iraq yet,
It doesn't seem likely they'll apologize to Valerie Plame.

8. It would at a very minimum embarrass Republicans across the land
But do Democrats have guts enough to do that. A Government official caused this so the government should make amends. IMO
