Ari Fleischer got immunity in Plame leak case

Recommended Posts

Ari was just the press flack . . . so, literally, don't shoot the messenger.

The person living at the Naval Observatory however . . . looks like he actually needs to be brought up on charges of treason.

Why is Armitage living at the Observatory?

I don't understand how it is treason to talk about a person being a CIA agent when it isn't a secret at all, and they aren't working undercover.

Quote

After Joe Wilson went public in 2003 about the trip to Niger, senior WH officials, trying to discredit Wilson's findings, told reporters that Wilson's wife, who worked at the CIA, was the one who suggested the Niger mission for her husband.



I have read about how it has become clear that this is quite true - she did recommend him. It has also been recently reported that Joe Wilson and his wife (Plame, the not-so-secret CIA agent) had an agenda he wanted to support - discrediting Bush.

There was no violation of the agents cover, and it turns out that what was said to discredit Wilson's findings is true.

So, now that the only charges left are related to perjury which is hard to distinguish from bad memory, how is this different from Ken Starr's much maligned prosecution of Clinton?

Where does treason enter this episode?

You, uh, do know who lives there; right?



Of course the VP lives there.

Perhaps it was a bit of humor, since Armitage was the 'leaker' of the information - the leak that wasn't even an illegal act - the information that already was common knowledge among many journalists.

Again, just the messenger . . . I'd consider heading the conspiracy to be an act of treason.

What exactly about the supposed conspiracy was so bad that you consider it treason?

... the leak that wasn't even an illegal act - the information that already was common knowledge among many journalists.

The larger conspiracy to destroy the lives of those in governement that opposed the position of the Administration.

Plame is only the most visible case.



Oh, I see, thanks for the clarification/details. How could I possibly disagree? :D

Clinton was the best at the "politics of personal destruction" - a phrase he made popular, despite the fact that he was the one doing so much of it. Heck, you didn't even have to be a political adversary, as in the travel office scandal for which Hillary deserves so much credit. :D

That was EXACTLY my point, thanks!
