Re: leaking classified information on the USA

Charactor assasination? Like the one you did on the scientist who opposed the global warming theory? You are funny. I posted a response to your post. The man is a liar. And not a very good one. He contridicts himself constantly. I have sited at least 15 separate and distinct sources, and at least 10 different occasions of his lying. But you are confused?<br /><br />Mislead? What part of writing a hit piece riddled with lies in the NY Times, and subsequently his book, and numerous interviews would you consider in the best interest of your super secret under cover wife? What exactly is smart or even consistant with a deep cover agent, attempting to get employment for her husband through nepotism if they are in deep cover? For gods sake the man is a former ambassador. If you were in fear for your life would you consider having you and your husbands picture on the cover of Vanity Faire a good move? Their actions and responses lead me to believe they are liars on many levels. But Joe Wilson is by anyone's definition a liar.<br /><br />I am of the opinion that they outed themselves by making themselves media darlings, and not honest ones. Your inferences against my integrity are starting to **** me off. Your inability to understand doesn't make me wrong, it just says something about you.<br /><br />Lets look at your post.<br /><br />You got the time-line all wrong! Joe Wilson went to Niger, told the administration there was not proof of a "yellow cake" sale or attempted sale to Iraq. <br /><br />Wrong, as outlined by the above post. In detail. By mulitiple sources. <br /><br />When the administration continued to repeat the "yellow cake" lie, Wilson wrote an op-ed to the NY Times.<br /><br />Wrong, The administration: 1) never read his report. 2) The yellow cake story was in fact supported by Wilson in his report to the CIA and backed up. "According to the former Niger mining minister, Wilson told his CIA contacts, Iraq tried to buy 400 tons of uranium in 1998." Washington post link. <br /> <br /><br />In a pattern of retalliation that has become only too apparant with this administration, they outed Wilson's wife. <br /><br />Wrong. Special prosecutor Fitzgerald has been on this for how long and how many indictments/convictions has there been? ZERO. You are propogating rumors and speculation not facts. Innocent until proven guilty? Or guilty when accused by a documented liar? I opt for the first.<br /><br />It was then, and only then, after "Valarie Plame" became a household name, did Mr and Mrs Wilson do the Vanity Fair piece and pose for the picture! So get your fact straight Pointer!<br /><br />My facts are straight. And my timeline was right on. Wilson is a liar. And you are buying it for whatever reason. Your facts are off. Are you trying to mislead the iboat community? My short version bore this out:<br /><br />jmonica,<br /><br />""Joe Wilson went to Niger, told the administration there was not proof of a "yellow cake" sale or attempted sale to Iraq. When the administration continued to repeat the "yellow cake" lie, Wilson wrote an op-ed to the NY Times.""<br /><br />False.................<br /><br /> http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A39834-2004Jul9.html <br /><br />How many times can you be wrong in one paragraph? He didn't give the report to the administration nor did they see it, His report actually bolstered the case for the yellow cake theory, The administration repeating this lie would be interesting if the lie wasn't supported by the one who is claiming it was a lie.<br /><br />In fact he never even claimed to have TOLD the administration. Are you lying? Are you trying to mislead the iboat community? How can anyone believe anything you post? See how stupid playing sniper can be.<br /><br />Valarie Plames status at this time is unresolved and your opinions stated as facts don't help me reach any conclusion. But the Wilson-Plame legacy of lies tells me volumes about their status. <br /><br />My buddy DJ (not the one that frequents this board) sent me this last year and it once again puts Ol' Joe in a position of being a liar. This is what helped form my opinion of the matter. It is an opinion derived from Joe's own Book!<br /><br />"In The Politics of Truth, former ambassador Joseph Wilson writes that he and his future wife both returned from overseas assignments in June 1997. Neither spouse, a reading of the book indicates, was again stationed overseas. They appear to have remained in Washington, D.C., where they married and became parents of twins. (Related story: Bush waits on Rove)<br /><br />Six years later, in July 2003, the name of the CIA officer - Valerie Plame - was revealed by columnist Robert Novak.<br /><br />The column's date is important because the law against unmasking the identities of U.S. spies says a "covert agent" must have been on an overseas assignment "within the last five years." The assignment also must be long-term, not a short trip or temporary post, two experts on the law say. Wilson's book makes numerous references to the couple's life in Washington over the six years up to July 2003."<br /><br /><br />Please share your wisdom on how this is possible. I am sure we are all sitting on pins and needles to see what kind of man you are.

No one is being “given” any rights; they are rights that every person on the planet is born with. Think of it as everyone being born into their own protective cocoon of rights. We, the United States, recognize those rights and we have definite and unchangeable limits on our gov’t’s ability to infringe on those rights no matter who it is or where they are on the planet.

Re: leaking classified information on the USA

Funny this didn't get any play............ ISN'T DAVID CORN A SCREAMING LEFTY? Just listen to him parse his words.<br />__________________________________________________________________________<br /><br />From Reporter Notebooks, Free Republic<br /><br />Posted on 07/16/2005 9:37:20 AM PDT <br /><br /><br />An interesting post by Cliff May: <br /><br />"This morning, I have a piece up elsewhere on NRO showing that The Nation’s David Corn--not syndicated columnist Bob Novak--was the first to reveal that Valerie Plame was an undercover operative. It further suggests that David did so based on information provided to him by none other than Joseph C. Wilson IV. <br /><br />While working on that piece, I had an exchange with David and, with his permission, I thought I’d share that with you. Dear David: <br /><br />I have a question--one you may not be willing to answer but I’m curious so let me try: <br /><br />Novak’s column said that Plame was an “Agency operative.” Novak claims he didn’t know--and didn’t mean to imply--that she was a covert agent. <br /><br />Your piece, a few days later, says quite explicitly that Plame was “a US intelligence officer working covertly in a field of vital importance to nationally security.” <br /><br />How did you know that? <br /><br />- Cliff David responded: <br /><br />Come on, Cliff. I'm disappointed in you--especially as a former NY Times reporter. Here's what I wrote: <br /><br />Did senior Bush officials blow the cover of a US intelligence officer working covertly in a field of vital importance to national security--and break the law--in order to strike at a Bush administration critic and intimidate others? <br /><br />You will note that this is a question, not a statement of fact. David then quotes extensively from his piece, which I had already read several times and which you can find here. <br /><br />I then sent him this message: Dear David, <br /><br />You’re too loyal to acknowledge that Wilson was your source. <br /><br />You’re also too honest to deny it. <br /><br />Allbest, <br /><br />Cliff David replied: You wrote: <br /><br />You’re too loyal to acknowledge that Wilson was your source. <br /><br />You’re also too honest to deny it. <br /><br />All I can say again is, nice try. When I spoke to Joe Wilson after the Novak leak, he would not tell me whether or not his wife worked at the CIA. He spoke only in hypotheticals. He said, imagine if she did, what would this leak mean, AND imagine if she did not, what would this leak mean. So I do deny that he told me because he did not. That's the truth, the absolute truth. No spin. No parsing. No stonewalling. If you find any wiggle room in this response, let me know and I will unwiggle it. And you can believe it or not. <br /><br />David <br /><br />PS Mind if I write about our correspondence? <br /><br />My final message to him: Dear David, <br /><br />You’re a good reporter. You know when a hypothetical is really a confirmation. <br /><br />When Wilson told you: “So, hypothetically, here’s what it what it would mean if my wife were a top-secret agent--which I’m not saying she was; and here’s what it would mean if she had been on undercover on dangerous missions tracking WMD purchases abroad--which, of course, I’m not saying ever happened; and here’s what the consequence would be for her extensive network of sources if she were exposed, though I’m still not confirming anything…”--you knew exactly what he was telling you with a wink and a nudge. <br /><br />Bob Novak did not know that Plame was or had ever been an undercover agent. His sources didn’t tell him that. He did not write that she was an undercover agent. If he had known she was a secret agent of any sort he says he would never have published her name. <br /><br />Novak has maintained all that consistently. I’ve disagreed with Bob Novak on many issues and on many occasions. I’ve debated him publicly--on the war in Iraq, among other things, where he probably is more in agreement with Wilson than with me. <br /><br />But one thing about Bob Novak: He’s been around this town about 50 years. He’s a patriot. He would not knowingly burn a spy. And he doesn’t lie. You don’t stay a major media figure for half a century if you’re a liar. <br /><br />Let me say this clearly: Novak did not know and did not reveal that Plame had been an undercover operative. <br /><br />You were the first to reveal that. <br /><br />You did that hypothetically, of course. You were just asking a question, of course. You didn’t know whether she was or was not what you called “a top-secret operative”--but you thought it sure would be interesting if you raised that possibility. <br /><br />And how much more interesting if you accused the Bush administration of purposely leaking that information as a way to punish Wilson--which has been Wilson’s allegation all along-- since he claimed (falsely it turns out) Cheney’s office sent him to Niger. <br /><br />You and I know that he shared all this with you and more--hypothetically, of course. <br /><br />You got this snowball rolling, David. And it produced the avalanche you and Wilson expected it would. I give you full credit for that. <br /><br />You certainly may write about our correspondence. <br /><br />I may do that, too. <br /><br />Allbest, <br /><br />Cliff"<br /><br />____________________________________________________________________________<br /><br />Role model Wilson in action:<br /><br />Newsmax<br /><br />Monday Sept. 29, 2003; 2:16 p.m. EDT<br />Wilson: I Made Up Rove Leak Allegation<br /><br />Former U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Joseph Wilson admitted Monday morning that he fabricated a key part of his allegation that the White House deliberately blew his wife's cover as a CIA weapons analyst.<br /><br />Wilson has accused top Bush political strategist Karl Rove of leaking the name to columnist Robert Novak, telling a Seattle audience last month that he wanted "to see whether or not we can get Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs."<br /><br />But he told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Monday that he got "carried away" and made up the Rove allegation out of thin air.<br /><br /> http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2003/9/29/143328.shtml <br /><br />jmonica, this is just another example of lies from Joe Wilson. He is a liar. With this track record how can anyone believe a word that comes out of this idiots mouth? (Not a rhetorical question)<br /><br />This man shot his mouth off all over town. Gen Paul Valleley (sp?) is ready to testify he was told by Wilson about his wifes job, David Corn, Andrea Mitchell, Ms. Plame sent a contribution to Kerry's campaign in the name of the secret shell company in 2000. I question the logic of a covert spy doing that. This couples history tells me they are nothing more than celebrity hounds and they have the track record to prove it. Do you really think Richard Cheney would send a guy who wouldn't vote for a Republican if he was running for dog catcher, to do research to substantiate impending plans for what you describe as a illegal war? Cheney may be many things but stupid isn't one of them.<br /><br />________________________________________________________________________

Re: leaking classified information on the USA

So that must be why Scooter Libby lied to the grand jury, to protect the Vice President over leaks he didn't commit, over information he knew nothing about.<br /><br />It's starting to make sense.

Re: leaking classified information on the USA

It’s just not worth answering. Due to the constant devaluing of the US dollar, the actual value (i.e. purchasing power) of the $1-million question is now only about $38-thousand. But, shhhhh don’t tell anyone because it’s a secret.

Re: leaking classified information on the USA

Pointer,<br /><br />Here, I'll try again. Valerie Plame was in fact COVERT! Go to the link below and get the story.<br /><br /> http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11179719/site/newsweek/ <br /><br />Now your trying to put Joe Wilson on trial. :( I got involved with this discussion to point out the hypocrisy of the righties getting all hysterical over the secret prison leak and at the same time defending the outing of a COVERT CIA AGENT. :confused: <br /><br />Maybe I'm giving you too much credit Pointer, but I thought you to be a stand up guy. But like you couldn't come clean and own up to plagiarizing, you can't seem to come clean and admit you were wrong on the Valerie Plames undercover status. Its no big deal Pointer, if you post enough times on this board your going to get a few things wrong, just stand up and admit it. Hey, I'll still love ya! ;) :cool:

Re: leaking classified information on the USA

Just so 1 other thing gets brought up - unless i missed it, we have been and will probably remain under a "state of emergency" or whatever you may want to paraphrase it, which gives the sitting president war powers. i think we went over this here when skinnywater posted a link to some government actions and asked everyone to take a look and see what it meant, a couple of yrs ago.<br /><br />i think that may help some here who have questions about just what our prez & congress need, to take military action.<br /><br />but that really wasn't why i started this, it was just for the simple fact of the whole reason for having government secrets. they are necessary, but alot of people don't seem to understand why.

Re: leaking classified information on the USA

If anybody would like to read another version of the Joe Wilson saga, it differs from Pointers but much more fair. Oh and balanced. :D <br /><br /> http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/07/20/opinion/main630711.shtml <br /><br />BTW Pointer I said Joe Wilson "told" the White House of his findings in Niger. You said that I said he gave them a report, wrong. Now I was wrong to say "White House". When Wilson returned from Niger he sat down with the CIA and was debriefed. In essence he "told" the CIA of his findings in Niger. I know we're splitting hairs but, there seems to be a lot of hair splitting in trying to trash Joe Wilson. :rolleyes:

You must have thick hair of you think telling the cia is the same as telling the white house.

Re: leaking classified information on the USA

RF,<br /><br />When you gloss over the fact that Wilson claimed to be working for **** Cheney at the WHITE HOUSE to bolster his credibility, which by the way was a lie, and therefor by a little slip try to cover for said lie, some might think that is splitting hairs, but most right thinking people know better. It is the on-going perpetuation of said lie.<br /><br />But of course it could be just an innocent mistake. I would bet a paycheck that it was, but a sniper would never miss this opportunity though. I believe it was a simple but significant mistake.

Re: leaking classified information on the USA

Pointer,<br /><br />You still can't admit that Valerie Plame was covert? Still trying to turn the microscope on Joe Wilson? :( <br /><br />Now lets not turn this into a Joe Wilson debate but, just for an example of how the right has tried to twist this whole Plame/Wilson thing into such a garbled mess. Wilson never said Cheney sent him. He said "the office of the Vice President". But you know what, who cares? This administration OUTED A COVERT CIA AGENT! I don't care if Joe Wilson is Jack The Ripper reincarnated. :p This administration OUTED A COVERT CIA AGENT! There, do all you righties understand now? :)

Re: leaking classified information on the USA

So it was Bush that leaked it?....well, of course that explains it..LOL! Pointer please stop....lets talk about smart tabs or sumpin so we can respect our Iboat brother's point of view....on boats and stuff that is. Save your bullets for some worthy game.<br /><br />If someone you know argued these points in public with you or I we would ignore and walk in the opposite direction out of fear that our close friends may associate us with the statements coming form them. True liberals will never admit to being wrong while they are still free to do so...
