More Libby fallout

Re: More Libby fallout

Jesus Christ, Michael. I go away for a few months and come back to discover that you are still shilling the same fictional nonsense that we debunked, what, a year ago? You know that this stuff is false, and yet you continue to peddle it anyway. Why bother? What do you get out of purposefully being a dissembler? Why spend such an enormous chunk of your life posting falsehoods to a shemale bulletin board? Even if your life truly is that empty, surely playing solitaire or raking leaves would be a more constructive and rewarding use of your time.

You only get one life. This is how you’re going to spend it?

You post this fuzzy jpeg over and over again, and yet you can’t be bothered to simply explain its relevance. I’ve asked you at least twice before to show me where Joe Wilson’s Who’s Who entry states, “My wife works for the CIA.” Because that, Michael, is what’s at issue here.

This is just a lie. Very silly, and false. Presented entirely without documentary evidence.

- 36 news organizations confederated to file a friend-of-the-court brief in the judith Miller case. To be brief, all 36 stated no law was broken because Plame's identity as a CIA officer was first disclosed to Russia in the mid-1990s and that when the CIA sent classified documents to the Swiss embassy in Havana, the Cubans, as Bill Gertz reported, "[t]he documents were supposed to be sealed from the Cuban government, but [unidentified U.S.] intelligence officials said the Cubans read the classified material and learned the secrets contained in them."

This story has no basis in fact whatsoever. It is entirely based on a single Washington Times story by Bill Gertz, who has a terrible reputation for simply making things up. Gertz’s story includes no named sources at all, and attributes the blown cover fairy tale to a single anonymous intelligence official.

Even if this story were true (and it’s not – see below), it’s of no relevance to Fitzgerald’s investigation. According to Gertz, “everyone” didn’t know; the Russian and Cuban intelligence agencies knew. And that would still be classified. It appears that Gertz’s fictional anonymous source is transferring classified information, which is, I hope you’ll agree, a federal crime.

Moreover, you can’t read the Amici Curiae brief because it was never filed. Victoria Toensing, a known dissembler with no credibility on this issue, filed a motion for permission to file an Amici Curiae brief. The motion was accompanied by no affidavits, and was subsequently denied without dissent by the DC Circuit Court, primarily because there was no factual evidence at all to support the fantastic claims made by Toensing.

But why rely on Gertz and Toensing’s fantastic imagination when we have direct confirmation of Plame’s covert status from DCI Hayden? This from the opening statement by Rep. Henry A. Waxman Chairman, Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, March 16, 2007:

Quote:

[DCI] General Hayden and the CIA have cleared these following comments for today's hearing.
During her employment at the CIA, Ms. Wilson was under cover.
Her employment status with the CIA was classified information prohibited from disclosure under Executive Order 12958.
At the time of the publication of Robert Novak's column on July 14, 2003, Ms. Wilson's CIA employment status was covert.
This was classified information.

Valerie Plame is a bolshevik agent. Everyone knows that. I can't understand why she isn't in front of a firing squad.

Michael, I'm still hoping for your explanation of how Joseph Wilson's Who's Who entry is at all relevant to the (settled) debate over Valerie Plame's covert status.

Really, I'm interested.

Nice to have you back Thom...Facts never gets in the way of a good diatribe do they? If you can be buried under enough shit, you may lose track of the underlying truth, always the tactic of the weak hand.

Huah, Oli.

Part of me hopes that Michael just grows some shame at some point and realizes what an empty endeavor he's engaged in here.

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for that explanation, Thom. Though it doesn't say so on his post ID, the word from on high is that "White_Male_Canda" has been banned.

By the way, allow me to join Oli in welcoming you back. Your enlightened contribution has always been appreciated here.
