Amazon 7 #26 July 18, 2008 QuoteFitzgerald admitted he knew who "outed" Plame the first day. Just a fact Burning a CIA covert operative after they have served the country is un american no matter if they are active or not. The contacts they made or anyone they worked with then becomes a liability rather than of further use as an asset. Burning all of these humint resources for political purposes is beyond the pale...isnt it nice your Patriotism is so bound by partisan politics that you are blinded to the harm this has done to our country.. Just a fact Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy9o8 2 #27 July 18, 2008 QuoteFitzgerald admitted he knew who "outed" Plame the first day. Just a fact No, it's a half-truth, and thus misleading. All Fitzgerald knew initially was the identity of the one particular person who told Bob Novak about Plame. What the investigation was about was to flesh out the apparent conspiracy among numerous government officials to discredit Plame's husband, Wilson, and ultimately to do so by causing Plame to be outed to the press. The reason the trial judge threw the book at Libby at sentencing was because Libby's obstruction of justice (which the jury determined was deliberate and not just lapses of memory) impeded Fitzgerald's investigation, and that obstruction of justice was directly responsible for Fitzgerald's difficulty in fleshing out the other members of the conspiracy. So the continuation of the investigation was valid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
