Lindy said don't talk about this any more so I am not even going to read what you wrote. If I can't respond, no need to raise my blood pressure.

Whoever outed Valerie Plame was unpatriotic.

I think we should get to the bottom of who leaked the Valerie Plame info to the press.

Here's the background:
en.wikipedia.org

Here's Novak's note
townhall.com

Here's another background for the purported original Niger-iraq yellow-cake piece that supposedly caused the whole consipiracy --- btw this was the 60 minutes piece preempted by the rathergate forged memo thing. Btw, the gist of the story was the original yellow-cake smoking gun document was a forgery (oh the irony) and that the gullible white house and congress (including kerry) fell for a crude forgery (oh double irony)

truthout.org

However, it now appears there could be a CBS-TV movie about this and Valerie Plame has creative freedom to choose who gets to play her - (this one is an unflattering piece about Plame)
worldnetdaily.com

Note contrary to some Bush critic assertions, the investigation did not die in the CIA. Bush and the administration did not stonewall, if anything, since this is an election year, they have to do that Caesar's wife thing --- that pure as snow nonsense --- they are bending backwards to let the FBI find out the truth behind the mess.

I recall something about FBI subpoena to some reporters to force them to reveal their sources. Everyone in the administration apparently already signed waivers to allow the reporters to reveal their source, but apparently not one of the reporters has spoken yet.

More mudslinging. I wonder who Valerie Plame will choose to play herself? Perhaps Nicole Kidman? Angelina Jolie?

The notion that some strapping, red-state twenty-something with his life ahead of him would feel obliged to "get his ass shot off" to protect my baggy old self is obscene. I would much rather lose my life than have him do that.

That is happening today in Afghan and Iraq. When are you going to volunteer?

Have you enrolled in that marksmanship course I recommended?
