re: Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame are hardly innocent when it comes to political infighting within the CIA. No, it's not OK for anyone to expose a CIA agent, but as usual, the truth is far more complex than what Joe Wilson and the liberal media really feel like portraying.

The "nuance" king speaks. Complex? I thought nothing was complex!

What happened first, the outing or the outrage?

The outing of a CIA agent during war-time is very clear. Simple. A crime. It's called treason. If this were the good old days, Rove, Cheney and Libby would be lined up and shot. Or hung by the neck until dead. Methinjks they deserve it. 2020 Americans are dead because of these bozos and 7500 maimed for life.

Al, So you then think it's ok for staff in the White House to expose a CIA agent ...

Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame are hardly innocent when it comes to political infighting within the CIA. No, it's not OK for anyone to expose a CIA agent, but as usual, the truth is far more complex than what Joe Wilson and the liberal media really feel like portraying.


What is the truth?

So much infighting that tenet asked ashcroft to appoint a special prosecutor...

The rigth wants it to be more complex, because the simplicity of it means the administration lied us into war...but the conclusions are pretty simple. People are convicted to death on circumstantial evidence all the time...if this was a court case, the circumstantial evidence that bush and his team "wagged the dog" would be overwhelming enough to convict them....and we haven't even begun to touch on the incredible incompetence with which they pursued this madness. Mission accomplished my A$$...
